There are six mutations in Defend Your Base with Anime, each multiplying a unit's DPS by a fixed amount. Gold and Diamond appear naturally on random fighters during any reroll. Dragonborn, Beast, and Arrancar only spawn during hourly mutation events at XX:15, XX:30, and XX:45 respectively. Admin is the strongest at 6.5x damage but only activates when developers trigger an Admin Abuse event. Each unit can only hold one mutation at a time.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
 Gold | 1.5x | 2x more expensive | Natural on reroll. Appears randomly. |
 Diamond | 2.5x | 5x more expensive | Natural on reroll. Appears randomly |
 Dragonborn | 3.5x | 10x more expensive | Mutation event at XX:15 every hour |
 Beast | 4.5x | 12.5x more expensive | Mutation event at XX:30 every hour |
 Arrancar | 5.5x | 15x more expensive | Mutation event at XX:45 every hour |
| Admin | 6.5x | NA | Admin Abuse event only |
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.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Mutation events run globally across all servers three times per hour at XX:15, XX:30, and XX:45, where XX is the current hour on the clock. Dragonborn spawns at XX:15, Beast at XX:30, and Arrancar at XX:45. These times are consistent regardless of which server you are in.
No. Mutation events create a chance for rolled units to spawn with a mutation. They do not guarantee one. The mutation still applies randomly during the event window, so some rolls will produce normal units even during an active event.
Admin is the strongest mutation at 6.5x damage, but it is completely dependent on a developer-triggered event that cannot be planned for. For mutations you can reliably target, Arrancar at 5.5x is the best achievable option.
