⚠️ The Catch: Success & Failure Rates
Before using your hard-earned consumable, keep the RNG odds in mind:
⚡ 10% Success Rate vs. 90% Failure Rate
The Mutation Consumable only gives a 10% chance to successfully mutate your pet. This means there is a 90% chance of failure upon use, which will consume the crystal without applying the mutation effect.
💡 Pro Tip: Because of the low 10% success rate, it is highly recommended to save your Mutation Consumables for high-tier or rare eggs (such as Secret or Divine eggs) to maximize your return on investment!
