Xeno Mutations

Xeno mutations are straight buffs to certain aspects of a caste or hive. All of the current mutation options can be found listed below.

Each Maturation (Young | Mature | Elite | Ancient) you will gain 6 points to spend on a mutation of your choice.
When you evolve you will lose all the mutators you previously picked.
All mutations can only be bought once.
If a hive flaw is brought and you have the positive mutation of that flaw then they will cancel each other out.

How to buy and see your active mutators:

Under the Alien tab you can buy mutations for yourself with the Purchase Mutators verb, to buy mutations for the hive (as the Queen) click on the verb Purchase Hive Mutators and lastly to view the Hive and your own currently active mutations click on the List Mutators verb.
