featureless face even worth it?

[Much Monkey Business]

just got it on my possessed hero luckily its my first mutation on him , I feel like it would be alright on a range mutant but other then that the perception mutation really isnt needed

my mutant that I started with this warband got claw feet as his first and thousand eyes second , one away from maybe making him a range hero although I like the globadier for range better then the muntant

thoughts?

Useless IMHO. I"ve fired a couple of different Cultist warriors for gaining this mutation.

I've never used Augurs in my SoS WB's, either, for the same reason.

Perception is just so specialized a tool, even when I'm using my Augur, it's a chore to remember to turn it on. And even then, it's rare to use it for anything other than stepping around traps.

I suppose it'd be more useful in PvP, but still...

yea depending on your playstyle its situational to scout if enemies are in a building or around the corner where you have no line of sight on the map which happens sometimes with the AI

proabably better in PVP but still no need for perception if you got range backing you up with a decent melee line and the traps majority of the time if I am paying attention I can tell where they are or might be

So many better mutations too so I guess I will play him as a reserve or fire him luckily its his first mutation on the possesed

plus 1

and one could argue the other mutations available would be better for PVP aswell

The fun thing is, the Devs asked why none suggested changing the Mutation during Beta when there was production time if it is so useless.
The thing is, there was unlimited attempts to use Perception, instead of until success like now, meaning that with free Perception one could nudge oneself through the whole map in one turn.
Blocking that however, not doing of which was not an option, screwed this Mutation and Augur, and hard.

That's sad because it's one of the most cool-looking mutation. It goes particularly well with the Possessed hero.

It has a bit more use when doing a deadly challenge with a "no overhead map" rule. :)

I still think that there should have been a Veteran Skill with a quite immense effect, but with penalty that, at Basic, reduces Backtracking to 1, and, at Mastery, removes access to Overhead Map. I just had trouble coming up with a suitable compensation.
Thought about +1/M+2 Experience per Mission.

They should make it so featurless face where immune to eye damages. Much like the augur.. Perception is very useful but not worth the slot as it is.. immunity to certain annoying damages might be the little bit that would have made it acceptable.. But as it stands its mainly a for looks kinda mutation..

[Castor]

Nearly useless except maybe for a looter to determine which floor of a building the loot point is on.

Yup the possesed hero with it looks like the creature in Pans labrynth with the eyes on the hands , but is defitnetily not worth it especialy on posessed where his first mutation should be an arm as he starts with armbands already

I might consider taking it on a range mutant but even then as I said I like Globadiers for range they are more accurate , they get posions for debuffs aswell can heal

[Reaver79]

I actually like it on my ranged mutants.. But then again struggeling just to avoid the arm mutations so ill pretty much take anything when trying to make an archer..

yea I lucked out with my first mutant on this warband , he has claw foot and thousand eyes , one off from possiblely making him range although I am running a globadier that I just think has more utility them him with what he could do with range

so I may just make him an MR tank I hope he gets an arm mutation in his main hand so I can use a shield

I'd hope that his 3rd mutation enables him to weild a great sword tbh..
Getting them is hard,they do do great dps with right sword etc.
I run with a glob,basically for his shooting.
He only heals occasionly,with is a massive bonus
