Quasimorph 1.0 - Giving every clone their best class - Tips for early game clone class matches

Storyline (as described)

• The game’s late-game setup is compared to a TV show where contestants must craft melee weapons (blades/knives/axes) and then test whether they can kill successfully.
• The underlying idea is that by endgame, upgrades are so powerful that all clone/class combinations can become lethal.
• The video focuses mostly on clone “best class” pairings, rather than an ongoing narrative plot.

Gameplay highlights & early-game clone class matches

• The creator assigns a class to each clone to demonstrate how each clone’s unique perk synergizes with class mechanics.
• The emphasis is on helping new players understand which clone/class options “feel good” early, so they can pick playstyles they enjoy.
• While many notes mention endgame power scaling (especially upgrades), the tips are framed as:
  • early-game viable match-ups
  • and “what to build around.”

General strategy / class-purpose tips

Pair tanky clones with tanky jobs

• If a clone is designed to take punishment, pair it with tank-oriented classes like:
  • Tunnel Rat
  • Martian Infantry

Wounds and panic are high-value mechanics

• Wounds reduce enemy effectiveness (e.g., less shooting accuracy, reduced movement).
• Panic can swing fights by disrupting enemy behavior.

Melee is riskier in midgame

• The creator generally doesn’t like melee early because enemies scale up with:
  • grenades
  • aggressive midgame pressure
• Some classes can be shut down by ranged threats more easily.

Specific clone + class synergy picks

Percy — Tunnel Rat / Martian Infantry style

• Invincible perk concept: provides heavy resistance to everything (noted as “12 resistance to everything”).
• Because his melee damage-per-weight is described as not great, he’s recommended more for tank/soak-damage roles rather than classic melee.
• Works well as a “punishment receiver” clone slot.

Francis — Phoenix Brigade (energy-weapon synergy)

• Unique mechanics:
  • increased weapon durability
  • reduced weapon weight
  • increased wound chance (numbers described, but the key idea is the combination)
• Main takeaway:
  • Energy weapons are fragile in general, but Francis’s bonuses make them viable and powerful.
  • Phoenix Brigade’s battery-related effect is described as consuming little/no battery while firing, letting Francis shoot “almost forever” if durability holds.
• Additional utility:
  • increased elemental resistance (survivability)
  • can detect enemies while firing
  • mentions immunity to fire and regeneration-like benefits

Victoria Putika — Angel of Spades (sniper/marksman wound + panic)

• Core perk:
  • weapon range +2
  • high wound infliction chance
• Wounds are treated as central:
  • wounded enemies become less dangerous (reduced ability to hit and maneuver)
• Angel of Spades also scales damage against wounded targets.
• Panic-focused option:
  • panic radius described as 3
  • “pretty big chance” to panic
  • limited to marksman rifle usage
• Also mentions accuracy and range improvements.

“Martian Make” / Martian Infantry (anti-infection + sustained low-HP play)

• The class described includes:
  • ignoring infection
  • dealing damage tied to missing HP (rewarding staying lower)
• Suggested play pattern:
  • best when you can increase HP via implants/augments, since you’ll intentionally take hits
  • wounds help trigger implant cooldown and improve injury healing
  • “Never get infections” is highlighted as a major payoff
• Fit:
  • “Martian Make” is treated as a class that can keep firing, especially with ammo/sustain interactions (including explosive ammo/exploitable sustain).

Maximilian — Eclipse Blade (melee/crit resistance + pain-related kit)

• Described as melee-adjacent, with key defensive and pain-related traits:
  • “Cannot feel pain”
  • heavy protection vs crit shots (exact % unclear)
  • dodge, regeneration, and pain regeneration
• Also mentions a mechanic where “human meat” activates (implied kill/cannibal synergy), granting action points back for killing/targeting.
• Mentions strong melee weapon examples featuring cleave/amputate-style effects on fresh targets.

Miasma — medicine-based defenses (defensive, not preferred by creator)

• Perk highlights:
  • medicine-related survivability improvements
  • consumption/addiction immunity “aren’t great” (per creator)
• Medicine grants:
  • resistances to certain threats
  • better wound stabilization and faster healing
  • regeneration and improved effectiveness of status effects
• Creator impression:
  • feels overly defensive
  • less appealing because late-game is described as already “everything works.”

“Shaman” — assassin archetype (armor-ignore on first shot)

• Perk includes:
  • ignore armor until detected
  • detection radius increase (interpretation partially uncertain)
  • better chance to wound with .42 / 9mm-ish ammo types (described as pistol/sniper-like)
• Emphasizes role flexibility:
  • can function like a makeshift sniper at long range
  • or a close specialist depending on weapons
• Notes on ammo/armor interactions:
  • .42/variants strongly interact with enemy armor profiles (including described cyro-type armor interactions).

“Edward” — Martian Make + ranged/vision disruption angle

• Notes:
  • “minus one enemy vision range”
  • paired with Martian Make because it synergizes with enemies being harder to notice
  • reduces “Quasimorphosis” impact (helpful survival vs mech/exotic damage issues)
• Result:
  • a “weapon platform” that kills at higher ranges.

Lakshar — summoning (creator dislikes perk)

• Unique perks:
  • healing when stabilizing wounds
  • implant extraction chance
• Creator view:
  • summoning is not strong compared to other options.

Anna Rai / Hong — runner/fire/utility support

• Perk framed as top-tier utility:
  • interacts while running (healing/repair/grenades while moving)
  • running and dodging increase dodge
• Mentions “fresh wound” but suggests it’s not as strong; highlights Pyromaniac:
  • can throw grenades while running
  • creates a large fire zone behind
• Notes on weapon compatibility:
  • pierce/weapon fit (SMGs/assault rifles; energy versions also mentioned)
• Creator rating:
  • potentially top-tier endgame utility
  • possibly best utility overall and rivals top characters.

“Marinka” — tunnel rats loot/timeline tip

• Early recommendation:
  • play Marinka early if you “know what you’re doing”
• Tunnel Rats synergy:
  • extra loot and strong performance even before Tunnel Rats comes online.

Jack Kennett — “Space Born Ghost” (stealth + pistol burst)

• Perk effects:
  • extra projectile
  • fast reload (about 1 action point reload)
  • reduced equipment weight
  • “no sound chance” when killing
  • increased pistol range/accuracy
  • can hit in stealth, granting action points and stunning on kills
• Playstyle:
  • ambush/sneak patterns similar to other stealth/armor-ignore concepts.

Nico Medici — unit 317 (pistol accuracy + crit/wound monster)

• Creator opinion: class is too strong.
• Core claim:
  • extreme accuracy lets even multi-shot weapons (example: a 4-bullet SMG) land all shots
  • converts into massive damage through crit and wounds
• Said to work “vanilla” without needing changes.

Kenji — “Cobra Unit” (dodge + throwable melee reach)

• Perk effects:
  • increased dodge
  • ability to throw lethals, then quickly engage melee range
  • HP/extraction mechanic around ~40% HP mentioned (mechanic unclear)
• Main downside:
  • food consumption is highlighted as problematic.

Oberon Lucas — explosive platform (extra weapon slot + reduced explosion damage)

• Perk:
  • extra weapon slot
  • reduced explosion damage
• Build logic:
  • can carry a big gun + pistol + explosive launcher
  • because many guns/ammo cause explosions, it supports a high-explosion loadout.

“Unchained Pirates” & other ranged explosive gunners

• Notes on an explosive/pierce/bipod gun concept:
  • creator warns it may be esoteric
  • unclear how damage stacking works (explosion + pierce interaction)
• If it doesn’t work as expected:
  • substitute grenades/grenade launchers.
• Another class (“Bob”) described as:
  • permanent regeneration
  • perk cooldown
  • fits implant-heavy synergy.

“Golem Group” (turret/drone stacking support) — expensive novelty

• Claim:
  • only that character can stack five turrets into a single slot
  • can also stack drones
• Big team impact:
  • allies gain action points
  • deployed units get bonuses to damage/health/range
  • “life channel” transfers damage to allies
  • reloading triggers ally regeneration
• Creator caveat:
  • very expensive, ends with a joke to not use it.

Level/rank-up notes (endgame progression mechanics)

Rank “Commander” changes

• More frequent health heals (heal faster)
• Carry regeneration decreases
• Energy generation becomes important
• Chance to receive a wound is lowered
• “Second chance” described unclearly:
  • if the character dies, they may not be permanently dead
  • they may return with rank set to 1 or regain HP after mission failure
• Uncertainty is explicitly mentioned.
