Biocrafts

Introduction

Biocrafts are units used for combat and exploration in the Abyss. You can craft and evolve them in the Laboratory (LAB tab) and customize their mods in Biocraft Modification (MODS tab).

Crafting & Leveling

- Starter Biocrafts: Every player can click "Craft Now" in the Laboratory to receive their first 5 Biocrafts for free.

- Crafting: Create additional units by combining specific Genes.

- Gaining XP: Biocrafts gain experience by clearing tiles in the Delve. Only units that are alive in your lineup at the end of a battle receive XP.

- Level Cap: Biocrafts gain levels through XP. Every 5 levels, units hit a cap and must be Evolved to continue leveling.

Evolution

Once a Biocraft reaches level 5, you can evolve it to the next rarity tier. Legendary is the highest rarity.

Evolving increases rarity, improve stats and unlocks a new mod slot. Evolution requires Energy and the same Genes used to craft the unit.

Rarity Change	Evolution Cost (Per Gene Type + Energy)	Total Mod Slots
Common → Rare	5 Genes (Each) + 20 Energy	2 Slots
Rare → Epic	20 Genes (Each) + 80 Energy	3 Slots
Epic → Legendary	50 Genes (Each) + 150 Energy	4 Slots

Modifications (Mods)

Every Biocraft starts with 1 mod slot. You can unlock up to 4 slots through Evolution.

- Rerolling: Use Genes and Artifacts to change a unit's mods. The required Gene type matches the Genes used to craft that unit.

- Cost: Reroll costs increase with the Biocraft’s rarity.

- Warning: Rerolling randomizes all slots at once. You cannot lock individual slots.

- Mod Rarity: Mods range from Worst and Bad to Legendary. Some mods may include negative effects (e.g., reduce Max HP).

Available Mod Types

Global (Team-wide): Increase Delve Reward, Increase Experience Gain. Individual (Unit-specific): Damage, Speed, Range, Max HP, Self Heal per round, Healing Received, Chance to Evade, Cannot be Stunned, and Physical/Elemental/Dark Resistances.

Combat

Combat in the Abyss is a strategic combination of stats, damage types, resistances, abilities and mods.

You can check each Biocraft’s stats, rarity, level, and details in Laboratory.

- Resistances: Reduce incoming damage (capped at 75%).

- Abilities: Each Biocraft has unique abilities (e.g., Burn, Thorn, or Explode). See the Pilot’s Handbook in the in-game Guide for full details.

- Area Degen: Starting from Round 3, at the end of each round, an Area Degen debuff will start dealing Fixed Damage (Not affected by Resistance or Shock) to both you and your enemies. The amount received will increase after each round.

Lineup Manager

Accessible from the Abyss Home screen, the Lineup Manager lets you organize your team and save presets.

- Positioning: Arrange your 5-unit team on the grid to optimize targeting and defense.

- Presets: Save lineups to quickly load them before battle.

Attack Patterns

The area of effect (AOE) for a Biocraft attack is determined by its pattern.

- Small Cross

- Large Cross

Gene Acquisition

To craft and evolve Biocrafts, you must collect Genes. For a full list of sources, see the Pilot’s Handbook in the in-game Guide.

Other Ways to Get Genes

- Joe's Shop: Sells a Gene Bundle once per day.

- Mining Luck: Mining with Mining Assets or Radiobot-R on Planets has a small chance to find Genes. Higher Mining Luck increases the chance.

- Black Market: Purchase Genes using Credits.
