Get and calibrate a core
You can obtain a level-zero core through the Free Market or qualifying rewards such as Cryo Foundry. Free Market cores cost 150 credits. Equipped pets gain XP, and Ryan’s Pet Splicer offers training. A level-zero training step costs five Nano-Scrap and brings the core to level one.
Read the rolled traits
At level one, the core rolls one of eight Command Specials, one proc, and one distinct passive. Every species has the same command pool. Capacitor Shield, Arc-Shred, and Nano-Heal Pulse can appear in either trait slot. Defib-Savior Revival rolls only in the proc slot, with a 3.5% chance and a 90-second cooldown after revival. The level cap is 10.
Fuse at Ryan’s Pet Splicer
Bring two different pets at level five or higher. Fusion consumes both and creates a new level-one pet using one parent species. The new pet rolls its traits. Its skin is Chrome or Gold, with a 25% Gold roll. Inspect both parents before proceeding, particularly if one has a trait you rely on.
Recast, use and trade
Recast at the Splicer to swap the Command Special to one of the seven other commands with equal odds. Your proc and passive stay the same. Equip the pet that matches your build. You can list calibrated pets in the Free Market and filter listings by the exact trait you need. Pet duels use their own invitation and acceptance flow.
