How to get Invader

Random roll

The game's passive table puts Invader in none of its random-roll pools (AddPal, AddRarePal, AddWorldTreePal and AddMutationPal are all false), so it does not appear on a Pal by chance.

None of the 61 implants grafts Invader, and the Pal Surgery Table does not offer it for gold. The table unlocks at technology level 38.

Breeding Invader onto a Pal

If one parent carries Invader, the chance the child inherits it depends on how many different passives the two parents hold between them — a passive both carry counts once:

  • Only Invader100%
  • 2 passives in all80%
  • 3 passives in all63%
  • 4 passives in all50%

From PalCalc’s model of the game’s breeding tables (tylercamp/palcalc), which treats every passive alike: the child inherits one to four passives from the pool and may roll up to three random ones, four at most in all. Plan whole pairings in the breeding calculator.

Stacking and counterparts
