Mutations are one of the best damage upgrades available in Defend Your Base with Anime. They multiply your units' DPS, and the difference between a base unit and a fully mutated one is significant enough to change how quickly your team clears waves. So, to help you get mutations on your units, this complete guide covers every mutation, its damage multiplier, and exactly how to acquire it.
How Do You Get Mutations in Defend Your Base with Anime?
Mutations are applied to units randomly when you reroll. A unit can carry only one mutation, and it is displayed above the unit's name on the platform. Gold and Diamond mutations appear on random fighters naturally at any time during a reroll. The other four mutations, Dragonborn, Beast, Arrancar, and Admin, only appear during specific mutation events and cannot be obtained through standard rerolls.
Mutation events run on a global schedule across all servers at three fixed times every hour:
- At XX:15 : Dragonborn event
- At XX:30 : Beast event
- At XX:45 : Arrancar event
Where XX represents the current hour. Log in during these windows, reroll your units, and purchase any mutated fighters that appear on the platforms using Cash. The units do not automatically gain the mutation. They still roll randomly during the event window, so there is no guarantee a mutated version appears on any given roll.
Admin is the exception. The Admin mutation does not follow the standard event schedule. It only activates when developers deliberately trigger an Admin Abuse event. It is the rarest and most powerful mutation in the game.
What Are All the Mutations in Defend Your Base with Anime?
There are six mutations in the game. All mutated units except Admin can be duplicated using the Clone Machine and merged with duplicates of the same mutation and level. Admin-mutated units cannot be cloned.
| Mutation | Damage Multiplier | Cost Multiplier | How to Get |

1.5x | 2x more expensive | Natural on reroll. Appears randomly. |

2.5x | 5x more expensive | Natural on reroll. Appears randomly |

NOTE: A unit can hold both a mutation and a trait simultaneously. When targeting units to get traits, prioritize those with a high-tier mutation for most value.
