BUILD ARCHETYPE — CONCEPT REFERENCE

ENDURANCE — MARATHONER

Long-distance grinder, built for stamina races.

This page is an archetype concept page. The actual genome you'd use to chase this build comes from /tools/dna-database (real GCAT editor) and verified community submissions on /discoveries.

The Marathoner

How to actually assemble this archetype

The archetype on this page describes what a endurance — marathoner is for — not a recipe. To actually build one, the verified workflow is:

Run the Opening Speedrun to get a stable of ace genomes from the 5 farms (~45 minutes).
Use the DNA Databaseto splice cross-species alleles toward this archetype's body shape — F1 cross or per-helix splice from any of the 18 community presets.
Take the resulting GCAT genome to the in-game DNA Lab (workflow guide), inject, race.
Verified-record genomes for this archetype, when community-submitted, get listed on /discoveries with original-poster credit.
