Prime Specimen

Prime Specimens are tougher variants of everyday mutants, that can only be lured out with the help of a Prime Specimen Attracting Station. They currently come in four variants:

• Strong: 50% DamageBuff, 16 Attack, 10 KnockdownResist
• Fast: 10 Charge, 50 Haste, 25 Recharge, 25 Defense, 50 DebuffResist
• Hardy: 5 DamageResist (level scaled), 50% MaxHP
• Prickly: 12 EnergyDamageReturn, 25 PhysicalDamageReturn, 1 KnockdownResist

In order to summon one, you must obtain 12 (reduced by Legends Proficiency) infection vials of the target creature and a Prime Specimen Primer from the requisition/reward shop. A Prime Specimen Attracting Station must also be set up in the creature's area, though the stations are permanent and reusable. Using the primer will bring up a series of prompts that will lead to the appearance of a Prime.

Prime Specimens will appear at the higher of the area's maximum level or the summoner's level. When defeated, they provide a badge, as well as a boss infection vial.

Note: Possessing multiple summons (I.E: pets/minions or other such entities) will increase the difficulty of battles with prime specimens.

Boss Infection Vials

Boss infection vials can be used to fully infect the user in one go, or give a large boost to an item's XP (30*(level+1), 31*(level+1) for Nanite Controllers). They're also needed to upgrade a power to epic level, and to level up past level 30.
