Battlefield Mutations
The full mutation table: what stacks dangerously and what always pays.
The high-risk/high-reward layer. Mutation values from Sept 2 runs; the reward multipliers are community-aggregated. "Stack" notes which mutations combine dangerously.
Gildennark Fog
Vision radius -60% · stealth +1 tierThe scouting mutation. Demons don't aggro in fog — the speedrun shortcut engine.
Found: STACK: fog + blood moon means fogged enemies hit harder too; invisible buffed mobs were day one's top killer.
Eternal Choir
Undead revive after 8s · quest XP x2The XP wager. The grind build's relic: take graveyard quests and farm the respawn.
Found: Revived undead don't re-drop loot — don't get ideas.
The Hunger
Life regen -80% · executions healThe chainblade mutation: execution healing triples, gallows becomes a potion. Other weapons, beware.
Found: STACK: hunger + blood-pool boss = suicide; the community has erected a tombstone.
Partial Eclipse
Power cooldown -40% · overload damage +100%The power-build engine. Point-blank overloaded tier-three smite is the opening game's biggest single number.
Found: [RECON] Overload self-harm ignores ward mitigation — don't stack.
Moonless Night
Full dark · enemy aggro +1 tier · loot +100%The highest-stakes mutation, and the quest type that triggers the hidden Vigil's First Knight.
Found: STACK: moonless + fog = pitch black with short vision; the speedrun board's suicide special.
Always take a blood moon.
