Spell Evolutions
95+ spell evolutions by category, fusion pairings, Black Hole, Sword Fall, Frost Ball of Galaxy, and Codex tracking.
Spell Evolutions
Early Access includes 95+ spell evolutions across projectile, melee, AoE, orbital, and beam categories. Major additions: Black Hole (0.1.7.4), Sword Fall (0.1.8.0), Frost Ball of Galaxy rework (0.1.8.7).
The demo included 27 evolutions. Track the rest in the Hub Codex. Individual evolution names are preserved in English as in-game terms.
| Category | Count | Examples | Best Synergy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Projectile | 30 | Comet Shot, Star Lance, Black Hole, Void Needle, Interlaced Shot | Gemini, pierce relics, chain upgrades |
| Melee Arc | 18 | Celestial Slash, Solar Cleave, Rift Cut, Sword Fall | Aries / Libra, attack speed, lifesteal relics |
| AoE Burst | 22 | Nova Blast, Meteor Rain, Shockwave, Firestorm, Cluster Grenades | Leo, area relics, burn evolutions |
| Orbital / Summon | 15 | Orbital Wisp, Twin Moons, Spirit Guard, Storm Orb | Cancer, duration relics, duplicate effects |
| Beam / Channel | 12 | Solar Ray, Void Beam, Storm Orb of Beam, Cleansing Fire | Virgo, pierce, damage-over-time stacks |
Fusion Evolutions
Fusion evolutions combine a level-10 base spell with a specific constellation patron upgrade. These are the highest-impact build-defining choices in Trials Survivors.
How Fusion Works
Level a base spell to 10, then select the evolution option when it appears. Align your patron early. When the spell bar is full, constellation re-rolls can still offer patrons you do not currently have (0.1.8.7). Hoard Fate Dice for secret paths.
Secret Fusion Evolutions
Hidden fusions such as Storm Orb Galaxy, Whirling Knives of Thunder, Chakram of Shuriken, and Crescendo Wave variants do not appear reliably. Keep the secondary patron available, hoard Fate Dice, use Constellation Ban early, and track finds in the Hub Codex on Unfair+ and Incremental.
