== Splice (combining genetics) ==

Under certain conditions (e.g. after defeating a boss) you may see the '''splice''' screen and choose '''2''' genetics to combine in the same run.

- If you '''skip''' the combination, that "chance" is '''saved''' for a future run; you don't need to defeat the boss again just to have the option again.
- The 1 vs 2 bonuses screen at the start varies with progress and unlocks.

---

== Unlocking ==

Genetics are unlocked by meeting conditions (e.g. win at a certain difficulty, defeat certain enemies X times). The game shows the '''highest difficulty beaten''' with each genetic on the selection screen.

---

== Community tips ==

- '''Spawn of Chaos + Patient''' can be risky: fewer options + random stats.
- '''Pacifist + Challenger''' is cited for "scavenger" runs: more meat on the map without having to kill.
- '''Bullseye''' lets you scale Bite (and other attacks) with AD or PD, whichever is higher.
- '''Simple''' in older versions limited Boss Evo options; that was changed in patches.
