Monster Mutations
Monsters below A-level can mutate into other creatures through sacrifice. This only works if one creature is sacrificed at a time, and appears at this time to result in a random new creature which may be of higher tier than the original. The level of the new creature is reset to 1, regardless of the existing level of the mutated creature. When a monster is being mutated, the lightning around the pillars you see in the animation, is blue instead of purple.

It is unknown at this time what variables affect mutations, or if certain creatures have a set number of other creatures they can mutate into. At this time, the in-game documentation has very little information about this process and hopefully it will be a more developed mechanic in the future.


The in-game help states that "When you Sacrifice, there is a chance a mutation may occur where the enhanced monster metamorphoses into a different monster. In this case, the level of the mutated monster will go back to Level 1. Please note that mutations will not happen when more than one monster is consumed in a single Sacrifice. It is said that mutations are more likely to occur in Rank C monsterse." This appears to imply that mutations are entirely random, affected only by the Rank of the monsters involved.

If you have experimented with this mechanic, please post your experiences in the Talk section. Please include the tier, level and type of creature that was mutated, and the same for the one that was sacrificed, then the type and tier that was created.

I have a mutation that I tried and it worked I tried to evolve my Magic Bolt Clarissa rank A but instead it mutated into Divinity Bow Clarissa A+ I found this to be highly unusual considering that all the information I've read about mutations on Dark Summoner so far says that mutations usually occur with monsters under rank A and most commonly with monsters of rank C.

Not a mutation bud... actually it always happens that way. The A+ evolved form of Clarissa is Div Bow... happens to a few other creatures as well.

does it gives good skills b monster of just like breath skill . also whats the chances of of the mutation ?

Not sure if you call this a mutation or not, but I just sacrificed a Skeleton Dragon Lvl 6 to a Skeleton Dragon Level 1, both had a + Critical skill at level 1.   After sacrifice, the skill level increased to + Critical (2) on the one remaining.

Still pretty new, but this definately made the resulting card more attractive.

Last week 2x scarlet fairy+ lvl1 (c+) to elven heroine lvl 1(b+)

Lindwyrm is a special evolve as well 

The very first time I tried it I sacrificed 2 lv 1 C monsters and got a Blood Blob A w slum breath. Since then I have I've tried to do it probably 200-300 hundred times and have had 2 more successful both level B, I think one had a skill and 1 didn't. It's probably not worth it, but I find little other use for those 1bp C monsters. They aren't worth the cost of sacrifice and don't amount to anything selling, so I figure it's worth spending 100 gold and taking a gamble on getting a skilled monster.

The + does not denote a mutation. When you sacrifice cards to each other it will say mutation in big obvious letters across the end product if you have successfully mutated. Also the mutated card will result in a completely different monster. A, A+, AA and AA+ do not mutate. When you sacrifice one identical A or AA card to another it will result in the evolution of the card to an A+/AA+ version of that same monster and some A+/AA+ evolutions look a little different and have slightly different variations of the name. This is called a special evolution and is again not a mutation.

Dent: when you sacrifice any card with an identical skill (ie: agility up) to another card with that same skill it will either result in a skill up point so you now have agility up 2 (up to a max of 20 and higher on each card that skill up is successful). When the skill up sacrifice is not successful it will simply say power up and may give you nothing although sometimes it gives you a really tiny level boost. We calling this leveling skills or skilling up but it's not mutation. It's a good idea to skill up your formation cards as everyone does and it will make you better at battling. So if you are trying for mutations do not waste your A or above cards on the thought that they will.

I find that if you need extra money it's a better idea to sell the C up to B+ cards without skills and wait till you have time and money and then try for the mutations. Sometimes I'll get 2 or three mutations out of a dozen tries and then I' ll go through a hundred tries before I get one. It's not really worth more than bragging rights for having mutations. Unless you are real short on coins and need skills to skill up with.

Thanks, again, for your advice, especially about selling. Before, I just didn't even think about selling monsters. I suppose I knew it could be done, but I never tried it. Since your post, I've been selling some of my monsters, and it's a great tactic. I appreciate your reminding me about it!

I have gotten several Mutations each day for the past few days - some of these were C Sacrifices & the others were C+. One day, I got 2 Mutations of each type. Today, two of my Mutations came in immediate succession - I was amazed! It seems that the system may be indifferent to the +, so that C & C+ may have equal chances of Mutation. I will continue tapping this source of Monster Skills & intend to actually choose a time period, record & analyze some data, and present my results here. See you later!

Homogeneous - I sacrifice +s with +s, non+s with non+s - and all of them are always lvl 1. Once they reach 2nd level, I sell them. I give no regard to species, etc. - they are lvl 1 monsters of identical rarity, and all other parameters are variable. After I finish grad school next month, I'll run a little study for, say, 2-weeks to see how many mutations come up for a certain number of sacrifices.

I've been playing since July of last year, and I have yet to get a single mutation, however I stopped trying once I realized that the best you can hope for is to get something you can get from using raid crystals. Maybe if I seen some posts of people getting A/AA cards from this it would be much more appealing to try. Otherwise your simply wasting perfectly good sacrifice fodder. As it stands now this feature is subpar and only useful to new players who haven't gotten a solid form together.
