CH 8: PET GENUS

Pet Genus is a horizontal system that gives a lot of power. You have 5 boards - Cogni, Fera, Natura, Varian, Special. You can literally just think of this as Boards 1-5.

Screenshot-only example pool entry.

Each board will have 9 stats that they can roll called “Slots” (or “Lines” as we refer to them as). Each Line (slot) has its own respective stat pool to roll from. As you level up your “Insight” (the blue bar, commonly referred to as Genus level), you unlock more Lines (slots) and the ability to roll higher grade stats on those Lines (slots).

When you click the yellow Analyze button, you roll random stats with random grades relative to your Insight level for all open Lines. You may lock a Line by clicking on the lock icon to the left of the stat. The more stats you lock, the more expensive the next roll becomes

The goal is to get your Genus level to 10 for all the boards then fish for the best stats for each slot (9 slots, 5 boards).

Additional Notes: You can have up to 3 presets for Genus

HOW TO UPGRADE YOUR GENUS EFFICIENTLY

Step 1

  • Level your board to 10 and ignore the stats you get, do not lock any line until you do this

  • The exception to the above is:

    • If progression on global is too slow to the point where level 10 isn’t possible or practical to wait for 

    • You get a high yellow or orange BIS stat roll on Line 4 (all boards, bis stats are listed below)

  • Saving until level 10 gives you the highest chance to roll the highest grade lines

Step 2

  • After hitting level 10 on a board, “Analyze” (roll) it with no stats locked until you roll the BIS stats on Line 4 across all boards

  • Highest Prio Line 4 Boards are Special (Double Chance) and Varian (Front/Back Damage Boost) followed by Fera (Weapon Damage Boost) and Cogni (Critical Damage Boost)

  • Some people settle for lower % rolls on their Line 4 rolls for their first preset then work on higher % rolls on a second preset.

  • Keep in mind a high Yellow roll can be higher than a low Orange roll

Additional Notes: You can do this by using the Auto Analysis and selecting Unique (or Heroic) Double Chance on Lines 3 and 9. It is not possible to roll lower than a Unique on Double Chance.
