Metamorphosis change
It should work just like it works when you first unlock it, randomly has a chance to change your character every stage, or every X stage. Just being random character on start is not that big of a deal, as you start with no items so it can't mess you up, but if you're getting items for a melee character and started with ranged, it can help you if it turns you into a melee character. Just my thoughts, had me turn from Acrid into Merc on stage 10, so I was already built for melee. lol

This just feels lazy, we would be better off without 1 artifact and just having a button to randomly pick a character.

Gotta agree with that. It'd be a lot more fun if it changed your character every loop or stage. This artifact is a massive disappointement, a random character button shouldn't be an unlockable, it should be there by default.

It's the random start option for people that wanted it.

You really think that needs to be an artifact? They're supposed to change the gameplay, this does absolutely nothing apart from throw dice at the start to choose a character for you, could've been a simple "random" button just like artifacts have, wasted a spot this way.

Does it really matter if we think it should be or not? Players asked for a randomize option and we got one.

Is randomly choosing your survivor a normal option? No? So I guess it changes the base gameplay when you use it.

The only good thing it does is that it actually changes your character when you go and unlock said artifact, which actually affects you somehow, or revisit that area(not sure if it's possible to play for the same artifact twice, but you get the point).

You're implying that you can only grab one Artifact a run. Cycle back around and can grab all 16 in a single run if you really wanted too.

Besides, it was a requested feature and now we have it. If you'd rather use a RNG on a different website to decide what to random, have at it.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.
