What are your ideal mutations

[Bloodscape]

For a Mutant (ranged), Mutant (melee), Maraurder, Possessed and Chaos Spawn?

I need feedback because I am making a possessed warband with warriors already leveled without any points distributed.

What mutations would you like to see?

[Bloodscape]

I Bought a Chaos Spawn with Ripper at Rank 1 and his second mutation is Extra Arm - Blade. I leveled him to Rank 6 (5 point to rank 7) and think that is a good place to leave him at since a little bit of Chaos goes a long way. I did give him basic Sidestep as the only thing distributed.

[Reaver79]

Mutant ranged : The eye, clawed feet, featureless face.
Mutant tank : Demon soul, thousand eyes, clawed feet.
Marauder damage dealer : Clawed feet, either crusher+smasher, or the eye and wich ever one is the offhand one of the 2.
Possessed : Crusher, smasher, third arm (blade or mace).
Spawn : pretty much the same as possessed. (Ripper works for main hand on both as well).

[PantLessKing]

marauder: claw feet/or crown of bones, crusher and smasher. this creates a crit monster. get master fatality, master blood offering, and master vital strike. and with purple armbands enchanted with master mark of havoc that adds up to 64% crit not counting accuracy on the second hit.

[Bloodscape]

Ok, just to let everyone know there will be as many as the warband allows: i.e. 2 possessed, 2 mutants, 2 marauders and an extra (2 total) chaos spawn.

Mine are PvP based.

Mutant Archer: 1) must have Claw Feet, 2) my preference Demon Soul for Magic Resist and Crown of Bones for Stun Resist and Morale. 3) The Eye, Wyrdstone Horns, 1k Eyes, 4) rather useless Double Head and Featureless Face

This is fun!

Mutant Melee:

Well, they suck at Melee, but I suppose an MR build is their niche so: 1k eyes, Wyrdstone Horns, Claw Feet

Possessed can be a fun unit for sure. I like using him as a mini-impressive and an Order Magister so.... again, these are for PvP.

Slicer for +Hit and Melee Resist debuff. Parry can help for some defense too.
Extra Limb - Mace for dodge bypass and Hit Chance
Claw Feet (like every unit needs Claw Feet) OR 3rd Arm Mutation, Piercer or Executioner.

So 3 arm mutations, emphasizing hit chance and armor bypass or 1 arm with 1 extra arm and claw feet. I prefer mobility and clawed Feet.

This guy has been pure ecstasy in combat:

He gets to 80+ Crit chance, near 100 on a stunned unit

[Kittenpaw]

Chaos Spawn can be a crit monster or Daredevil type build.

Spawn with Ripper, Extra Arm Blade and Smasher for Crits.

Slicer, Piercer, Extra Mace (or swap in an Axe mutation) for a Daredevil Spawn.

Building Possessed, Spawns or really any Chaos unit defensively is a losing strategy. So I like the offensive and mobility mutations more than any others. Besides the exception on the Ranged and Melee Resist builds (only need one of each really).

gotta ask why the crown of bones ?.

Thanks kittenpaw for the builds. Those may well help me to level characters against the AI.

For the reasons I posted this, check out the Tournament Files Challenge thread I posted. Crossing fingers for participants.

because most of the time when one of my guys gets taken down is because they get crit stunned on thier turn then the ai gets a free round to hitt him so thats why i try to get my stun defence up. and why also i dont attack enemys that have op left i just engage them then take a stance.

[Bloodscape]

critters getting crit huh? sounds chaotic

That was why i want The eye, 10% crit is a good bonus add resilience and your at some 30+% for both marauders and possessed (unless you put absolutely nothing in toughness ofc.) i'd rather not be critted and avoid the -10 to hit than i'd resist a stun after.
