Windstruck analysis
Windstruck is a minimal multiplier on its own but feeds the Tempestuous fusion. Worth keeping around as a component rather than treating as a payoff in itself.
Overall ranking
#45 of 45Windstruck is the 45th-strongest mutation in the game and 14th of 14 in the Weather category. That is 15.0× below the median mutation multiplier of ×30.
Bracket contribution
+1Because the bracket is 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, each mutation really adds its multiplier minus one. Windstruck therefore contributes +1 to the bracket, not ×2 on top of everything else — a common misreading when pricing trades.
Marginal gain when stacked
+0.5%Added to a Shocked + Celestial stack (a ×219 bracket), Windstruck raises it to ×220 — a 0.5% increase. On its own Windstruck is marginal — ×2 adds just 0.5% to a stack. Its real worth is as fusion material for Tempestuous.
How to obtain
WeatherSource: Windy event. Windy event occurs often, so Windstruck accumulates without effort — treat it as background value rather than a target.
Used as fusion material
1 comboWindstruck is a component of Tempestuous (×12). Check the fusion maths before combining — the bracket formula subtracts one per mutation, so merging is not automatically an upgrade.
Where Windstruck sits in the ranking
The next mutation up is Moonlit (×2), worth 0 more to the bracket. It is the weakest mutation in the game, so almost anything else is an upgrade.

Windstruck FAQ
How much does the Windstruck mutation multiply crop value?
Windstruck carries a ×2 multiplier, but inside the bracket formula 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N it actually contributes +1. On its own it gives a ×2 bracket; added to a Shocked + Celestial stack it takes you from ×219 to ×220.
How do you get the Windstruck mutation?
Windstruck comes from: Windy event. It is a Weather mutation, ranked #45 of 45 overall and 14th within its category.
Is Windstruck worth farming?
Windstruck sits at #45 of 45 with a ×2 multiplier, contributing +1 to the bracket. Rather than judging it alone, note that it feeds Tempestuous (×12) — so holding it can be worth more than the multiplier suggests.
Can Windstruck stack with other mutations?
Yes. Windstruck stacks additively with other environmental mutations using 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, but only one growth tier (Silver, Gold or Rainbow) can apply at a time. Note that Windstruck can also be fused into Tempestuous.
