The Void itself bleeds into reality, warping the very fabric of space and time. Battlefield Conditions change at random and never stay stable for long. All bets are off, commanders. Be ready for anything.

Oh me gawd, it’s the fun wheel.
No one stepped up to continue the weekly mutation info thread?
The name of the mutator speaks for itself and you will still find some weaker players. Nova P1 and Tychus P3.

Now that was the only way I could have fun with such a mutator: making that list.
Note that the amount of possible mutators is higher than the list in OP at the time I write this, but I didn’t look into what was different/missing.

Did it on Brutal first try as Karax P3 with a Nova P3 partner.
Got pretty easy mutators:
- Aggressive Deployment (but too early, never triggered)
- Fatal Attraction (doesn’t mean much to Karax)
- Alien Infestation and Walking Infested
- Scorched Earth
- Propagators (slow and easy to snipe by Nova)
- Mineral Shields
- Purifier Beam (barely killed anything)
- Self Destruction
- Barrier (probably the only annoying one, but we had enough firepower)
Ran into EvilLing for the one game I played of it this week for giggles. Got memed on REALLY hard to the point of nearly losing twice or three times. We wound up needing to cheese the trains to win with P2 Vora and P1 Stettman.
Some of the combos we ran into:
-Speed Freaks + Outbreak + Fatal Attraction (Out the gate)
-Double-Edged + Life Leech
-Fatal Attraction + Mineral Shields
-Fatal Attraction + Microtransactions
Thankfully no majorly degenerate combos or mutators showed up, but man… What a rough game.
My first try was horrible as hell, started with Rift, infested and the one that pulls you to the center into a polarity, propagators and nukes.
Man that was a really bad luck
At least you weren’t stuck on the defensive the whole game, only for the last train to wind up with Just Die! and Poops.
The game was over immediately. Without proper kiting power, you can’t stop the poops. You just can’t.
The difficulty of this Mutation is it brings every fool that doesn’t know to play out of the wood work. Be ready to dodge or solo carry.

I played it twice. Handled it very easily until the very last trains we got terrible combos:
Just Die, Walking Infested and Difussion
Poopagators, Just Die and Concussive attacks
Lost both of them just when the trains were under 5% of health twice. I hate this mutation.
Had Just Die and Transmutation with a p3 stukov ally going mass bunker. Turns out mass bunker beats that pretty well, lol.
Yeah, once you get a critical mass. Just doesn’t work so well if you get those mutators near the beginning.
Finally beat it on my third try with my P3 Tychus and my ally P3 Stukov. Chaos Studios is no joke.
We got some easy mutators in the beginning then it got worse toward the end. We managed to destroyed both bonus train. Before the last train departed, we faced Speed Freak, Transmutation, and Evasive Maneuvers. We both lost expo bases and I faced probably about 3x enemy army size. I fought them at Northwest ramp and to my surprise, I held them off.
Unfortunately my ally couldn’t hold the South ramp so I came by and killed them all. After that, the last train just happened to be right by the south ramp. My ally couldn’t build army due to lack of production structures and his top panels was on cooldown. I’m all that left. I destroyed the last train with no trouble. Victory is our.
tried to beat it on Hard with Raynor, got paired with a normal ally, still got crushed at start, had aggressive deployment. Switched to Stukov P2, and had a Tychus normal ally as well, went pretty smooth, I went for tanks and diamondbacks. Last train had polarity, and my ally wouldn’t kill his Hybrid, even tho I kept pinging, my tanks’ infested kept buffering for me tho, lol.
Got Propagators + Fatal Attraction, FeelsGoodMan
Propagators, Polarity, Avenger the next game but still won.
Got it first try with some not-too-bad mutators. Interestingly, Polarity swapped in near the end of the game (after a train had spawned) and it individually applied Polarity to each train car like it used to (as opposed to the entire train for one player or the other).
