Mutations Guide
Damage and cost multipliers from Gold through Quincy, hourly and 15-minute event windows, Nen and Titan acquisition, and what to farm at each stage.
What mutations do
Mutations add a fixed damage multiplier to a unit and raise its placement cost. Each fighter can have only one mutation; traits stack separately.
Pair them with the right trait ?traits stack on top of the mutation multiplier.
How to get mutations
Gold and Diamond can drop on any summon reroll. Dragonborn, Beast, and Arrancar need short hourly windows. Titan rolls every 15 minutes. Admin, Nen, and Quincy are event-gated 6.5x picks —details below.
Normal rerolls
Gold and Diamond can drop anytime you reroll on the summon banner —no event required.
Hourly events
Be at the banner for these short windows each hour:
- XX:15: Dragonborn
- XX:30: Beast
- XX:45: Arrancar
Titan mutation
Titan rolls every 15 minutes on its own timer —reroll while the window is live for a shot at 5x.
Admin, Nen, and Quincy
All three sit at 6.5x and sit outside the :15/:30/:45 clock. Sources and clone rules are in the table below.
Clone Machine
Everything except Admin can be cloned —copy a strong mutation instead of gambling the next window.

What to chase by stage
Spend Cash on the tier that matches your wave pressure.
- Early game: Gold / Diamond, Fine for early waves, buy if Cash allows
- Mid game: Dragonborn / Beast / Titan, Hit :15 / :30 windows; Titan every 15 minutes
- Late game: Arrancar / Admin / Nen / Quincy, Arrancar is the best hourly farm; the 6.5x trio is event-gated
Mutation FAQ
When do mutation events happen?
Hourly: :15 Dragonborn, :30 Beast, :45 Arrancar (short windows). Titan every 15 minutes. See Hourly events and Titan on this page.
Can I guarantee a mutation during an event?
No — odds go up, but rolls are still random.
Can a unit have more than one mutation?
No. One mutation per fighter; traits stack separately.
Can I merge different mutations?
No. Name and mutation both have to match — Diamond Tenpachi only merges with Diamond Tenpachi.
What is the best mutation?
Admin, Nen, and Quincy share 6.5x. Arrancar (5.5x) is the best hourly farm; Titan (5x) is the steady 15-minute chase.
Is Quincy still available?
Quincy is an Update 5 event mutation, not on the hourly clock. If the Quincy window is not live, you cannot farm it that session.
What about the Blue Lock mutation?
Update 11 shipped a Blue Lock themed window (through about August 7, 2026). Check the in-game mutation UI for the current name and multipliers.
Can mutated units be duplicated?
Yes, except Admin — everything else can use the Clone Machine.
Multipliers and event times match current in-game behavior. Balance patches or schedule changes may shift values, pair mutations with the right unit tier for the biggest gains.
