Evolution Power

Understanding Ship Evolution

Space Guardians has a 4-Stage evolution system which offers significant power ups and access to bonus loot drops and access to the players Ultimate Ability.

Earning Evolution Power

Players can build up the evolution meter by collecting Evolution Power, which can be gained in a variety of ways as listed below.

• Damage Evasion Player survives long periods of time in combat without sustaining significant damage

• Evolution Power Pickups Player collects power ups that randomly spawn during gameplay

• In-Play Events Completing randomly generated tasks during gameplay, examples may include:

  • RAMPAGE Kill 100 enemies in 1 minute

  • ASSASINATION Kill mini-boss 'Malevolent Anomoly" before the time elapses

  • HIT LIST Kill enemies in the following order:

    • Space Goblin x 5

    • Space Ghoul x 5

    • Cosmic Vampire x 10

  • EVASIVE MANUOEVRES Avoid all incoming damage for the next 20 seconds

  • PRIORITY ONE Locate and kill 'Borrassian Frigate' without killing anything else before the timer elapses

Evolution Power is lost when you take damage or fail to complete in-play challenges. If you sustain significant damage, the evolution bar will be fully depleted and you will have to build it up again.

Using Evolution Power

Sometimes you're gonna need some BIG DAMAGE. This is a perfect time to activate Evolution. Your ship will use the Evolution Power stored in your evolution meter which will grant you a temporary bonus to your base stats until the meter is depleted. You may also activate your Ultimate Ability at this time, which will consume between 1-3 bars of Evolution Power depending on the Ultimate Ability you have equipped.

Timing is EVERYTHING. Do not activate this too soon, as once activated, you cannot stop it, and once your meter is fully depleted, there will be a short period of time before the meter can begin to gain charge again. Any pickups collected during this period will have no effect.
