Finally! Finally I can evolve!

I’m emotional. It hasn’t been easy, I’ve had to struggle and use my wits, but I finally made it!

Thanks for your support Gandalf!

Thanks for persevering, me.

Okokokok.

The first thing I need to do is spend my five Biomass to upgrade my acid.

[Do you wish to improve acid to +5? This will cost five Biomass]

Yes!

[At this level you may choose a mutation advancement, select from the menu]

Nice!

Once again a large list of potential options appears in my mind, so many choices! Searing acid? Concentrated acid? Freezing acid? All of these sound amazing. I have be careful with my selection, I only get one shot at this choice and I don’t want to make a mistake!

Some of the upgrades seem to have an elemental flavour, such as shock acid, for example. I’m not sure if I want to take that path. For sure they all sound powerful but I don’t want my acid to become ineffective against creatures who are resistant.

I know that the Wolf Dragon cubs are resistant to heat damage, if I were to choose searing acid then my effective combat options would be greatly reduced. There is potentially monsters out there who are straight up resistant to acid damage, which means I have one potential weakness already, I don’t like the idea of doubling that to two!

Reluctantly I put aside the awesome sounding elemental acid options and look at the remaining choices.

There’s an option to increase the aerodynamics of the spray, greatly increasing my range... I don’t really feel like I need that. I’m happy with my current range.

Another option keeps the acid burning for a longer time, basically increasing the duration that the acid will continue to do damage. More damage sounds nice, but having to wait a long time for it to work won’t help in a pinch situation...

Oh ho! This option seems interesting!

[Restrictive Acid: This upgrade will cause acid to become sticky and solidify after being fired. This effect will make the acid adhere to the target and restrict their movement].

I like this one! Not only will the acid stick to the target, which will have the effect of increasing my overall damage, it will also gum up the enemy and make it harder for them to move.

If I spray one larger enemy three times then I might have a chance to slow them down and make it harder to move, if I spray a smaller enemy once they’ll be much easier to avoid, increasing my crowd control options.

Confirm Restrictive Acid!
