However, what Prion does have is a special ability, Neural Atrophy, that can help slow down cure research, which is a huge plus. Prion is a stealthy disease like Parasite, but it doesn’t have a special ability that can reduce its severity. With Parasite, it’s best not to do anything to drastically affect severity until most have fallen victim to your disease. On the other hand, devolving it can increase its severity, which is especially dangerous in the beginning of the game. Parasite’s special ability is Symbiosis, which makes it harder to find and cure, and evolving it can increase the disease’s infectivity. To combat this and to make the most out of your Parasite experience, it is essential to spread your plague quickly so that it has infected most before it’s been noticed. Parasite:Īlthough the nature of Parasite makes it difficult to detect, it starts with especially high severity. As a side note, whenever you evolve a spore burst, make sure to click the red bubble before you evolve again to prevent the next spore hitting the same country. Rather than using a Spore Burst or a Spore Eruption as soon as you can, it’s better to wait until most countries are infected so the odds of the special ability infecting a difficult country, like an island, increases. However, to make up for this fungus has three special abilities that are quite handy in a pinch: Spore Burst, Spore Eruption, and Spore Hardening. This is because out of all the diseases, fungus is one of the slowest, if not the slowest, to spread because it spreads through spore release. Evolving Viral Instability, Virus’s special skill, toward the later middle half or the end of the game is a great way to throw humanity into chaos. It unfortunately costs DNA to devolve a symptom that has mutated, so try to avoid doing so.
When playing Virus, use mutations to your advantage, but only keep them around in the beginning of the game if they’re not lethal. Virus actually moves very fast thanks to it’s trait of mutating often. players because unlike some of the other diseases (especially fungus), it doesn’t take Saturn’s orbit around the sun to complete. Virus is the favorite disease of many Plague Inc. Once you’ve infected everyone, do you really still need extreme bioaerosol? Bacteria is a great way (and the only way) to get started on Plague Inc., and when playing remember to infect them all before you wreck them all. Another hack when playing bacteria is devolving transmissions to get back some DNA. When playing Bacteria, it’s best to start in a warm country, think Saudi Arabia, and then to evolve Cold Resistance rather than to evolve Bacterial Resistance, Bacteria’s special skill. There are many different ways to reach success with each type of plague, and this guide will help you with just that! Bacteria:īacteria is the traditional root of a plague, and also the first disease you must use to bring humanity to extinction. takes plagues a step forward and gives you the option to have your plague be bacterial, viral, or fungal, among other options. diseases so you can strategize your victory!Īlthough a plague is technically a bacterial disease, Plague Inc.
