Fungal Cycle

Unlock fish: Amanita Fungifin
Trigger: Fire
Cooldown: ~1.5 sec per cycle (shorter at higher domain tier)
Research time: 20 min

Overview

Each shot cycles through four fungal projectiles: homing, toxin cloud, lightning, and explosive.

Research note

This fish represents an entire fungal ecosystem.

Mechanics

Each shot while cooldown is ready (about 1.5 seconds per cycle, shortened by domain layers) fires the current fungal form and advances to the next in the loop: homing, toxin cloud, lightning, explosive.

Explosive mushrooms: 3 shots that explode within about 6 tiles on hit or landing. Homing spores: 5 shots with a short delay, then weak tracking within about 25 tiles. Toxin mushrooms: 2 shots that leave about 5 tiles of poison damage and Poisoned on hit or landing. Lightning spores: 5 shots that chain to the next enemy within about 19 tiles, up to 3 times.

Tips

Know which cycle you are on before choosing a target: save explosive for burst, toxin for control, lightning for dense groups.
