Cerulean Pincers
+90% Amethyst Damage
5% Queen Frenzy Cooldown Reduction
Maximum Level: 10

  • Increases Amethyst Damage granted by mutations by 90% per level.
  • The very first level when you unlock gives you a double bonus, so you start with 180%
  • Mutation damage adds up into one big bonus, so adding this 90% to an existing bonus of 500% would total 590%.
  • The genes Mutation Infusion multiply this coloured damage by 10% per gene, to a maximum of 110%.
  • The Gene Lab's Mutation Specialization further add to this multiplication by 5% per level, with no maximum,
  • Decreases the cooldown of Queen Frenzy by 5% per level.
  • The default cooldown is 40 minutes (2400 seconds)
  • When maxed out, you'd have +990% damage granted by mutations to your Amethyst crabs and queens (multiplied by bonuses described above), and your Queen Frenzy cooldown would be cut in half.

Commentary

Queen Frenzy isn't the best ability you have, but being able to keep it running is a good thing. Combining this mutation with Scarlet Carapace at level 390 to increase the ability's duration will eventually give you "permanent Queen Frenzy".
