Mutations

Mutations are special kind of persistent Buffs that can be acquired while replaying Campaign in New Game+.

## Mutation generation

Mutations are generated from Templates when the game starts. Each template defines what Group it generates for:

* All Zooids - no grouping. Generated Mutation will affect all Zooids, but will only be applied where Mutation Buff is allowed to be applied.
* Each Breed - groups by Breed.
* Each Zooid Type - groups by Zooid Type.
* Each Zooid - groups by Zooid. This is the most specific grouping.

Mutations will not be generated for groups that have no Zooids that can be affected by generated Mutation. For example:

* EF5 Twister Mutation is not generated for any other Zooid as its filtered by its Buff which is set to affect only Twister.
* Angiectatic Mutation will only be generated for Zooids that have relevant stat - Charge Capacity. For example, the Buff that Mutation applies cannot affect Zenoplate so "Angiectatic Zenoplate" will not be generated.

Mutation Grade does not affect how Mutations are generated. Instead Mutation Grade is used to determine whether certain Bosses, Alphas or other events can drop them.
