Deviants Explained
What Deviants are, how to get your first one, and how to use them well.
Deviants are supernatural creatures you collect and put to work. Some fight alongside you, others automate your base or grant passive buffs. Here’s the starter rundown.
Your first Deviant
After the tutorial you’re guided to Butterfly’s Emissary, a Combat-type Deviant. To summon it, craft and place an Independent Secure Unit in your base, interact with it, choose the Deviant, and press “Synchronize to Cradle.”
Types of Deviants
Deviants fall into roles: Combat (fight enemies), Crafting/Production (automate resources at base), and utility/gadget types that grant passive effects like health regeneration. Match the Deviant to the job you need done.
Slots and progression
You unlock your first Deviant slot around level 10 and gain more as you progress toward max level. Keep a combat Deviant for fights and a production one working back home.
Keep them happy
Deviants have needs and moods that affect their output. Check on them, keep their conditions met, and they’ll perform better, whether that’s damage in a fight or resources at base.
