  2. Lv 3: Fires 35% faster
  3. Lv 4: +1 at a time
  4. Lv 5: +50% duration and +40% damage

Evolution: Substitute → Double Team

When Substitute reaches max level (Lv 6… actually max level 5), take the Armor stat upgrade and the golden card appears — pick it to evolve into Double Team. Effect: ×1.8 damage, +1 at a time and fires faster. See the full evolution chains or use the evolution checker if the golden card is not showing.
