Expert
- Effect: Specialisations are triggered one level earlier.
- Unlocked By: Select five different Specialisations.
This is one of the best picks you can have, simply because it unlocks the specialisations earlier for you. If you pick the same evolution multiple times, you can specialize in that evolution. However, this can take a while, as you have to pick up multiple evolutions to get there.
Expert shortens the time between each Specialisation, making your run feel smoother, by making you stronger in a shorter period.
Pacifist
- Effect: Deal -50% damage. Requires 33% less Progress to evolve.
- Unlocked By: Complete a run at any Pressure.
Pacifist works similarly to Expert in some sense, allowing you to evolve and get stronger quicker than normal. However, it comes with a massive drawback of dealing only half of your damage. This is only usually a problem early on, and once you manage a few evolutions, then you should be in the clear.
This is the best Genetic for leveling up faster and getting stronger.
Independent
- Effect: Every 12th level up is a Branching Evolution point. Bosses do not drop Boss Fruits anymore.
- Unlocked By: Unlock any seven branching Evolutions.
Although this particular Genetic takes a while to unlock, given its difficult condition, it is well worth the wait. Once you are able to use it, it shows you why the unlock condition was so steep.
Independent does stop bosses from dropping Boss Fruits. However, instead, it lets you get Branching Evolution every 12 levels, making it great for making a hybrid and versatile build. You can make some truly ferocious combinations with this Genetic.
Pioneer
- Effect: Increases the amount of Points of Interest by 50%.
- Unlocked By: Discover any seven Points of Interest.
If you are a beginner and unsure of a certain playing style, and just want a stable genetic with not many drawbacks, then Pioneer is the pick for you. It encourages exploration and traversal over anything else by increasing the number of Points of Interest on the map by 50%.
Moreover, its unlock condition is also quite lenient, making it great for a beginner to the game. This Genetic can be unlocked over multiple runs as well, making it easier to use.
Grandiose
- Effect: Evolution rarity improves based on your Size (bigger size means rarer evolutions, with no penalty for smaller sizes)
- Unlocked By: Reach 160% size or higher.
Grandiose is one of the best Genetics in Everything is Crab for a few simple reasons. Firstly, it does not have any drawbacks, unlike many other Genetics.
Secondly, it has a simple unlock condition that can be reached quite easily if you aim for it. Lastly, it gives you a significant Evolution rarity boost, which is quite rare. For context, the only other Evolution rarity Genetics are Chosen and Patient. However, Grandiose will likely give you more consistent runs in most cases.
