Base Species Perks

From Portals of Phereon Wiki
This article was updated for version 0.21.0.2

In Combat, teams can have multiple units sharing gene types. These can grant bonuses of up to four or five per Base Species depending on the number of shared genes. Genes are only counted from distinct unit types, but different units with the same gene combinations will count. Base Species with two of the same type will contribute two genes.

For example, two Sirens will only contribute one Mermaid and one Lymean genes to your team, but having a Siren and an Angler Fish with Mermaid/Lymean genes will each contribute, giving you two Mermaid and two Lymean genes. You can get the same with a Mermaid and a Lymean.

These are only used with Base Species genes. Impure Species and Spirit Species genes do not have team bonuses associated with them. However the Synergist perk can allow you to alter a Spirit Species with a single Base Species gene so that they can contribute.

Once the team bonus is in play, it will remain even when the contributing units are taken out. Like most mechanics in the game, the enemy will also benefit from their own team bonuses. To see these bonuses during Combat, hover over top middle "Player" or "Enemy" accordingly. To see it in Town or while exploring Portals, see the bottom, below "Battleranks".
