Quasimorph 1.0 - Tips and overview of the 14 clone classes - Best perks to use for builds and fun

Storyline / Context

• The video frames Quasimorph 1.0 as a game where you travel on missions for many days.
• You recruit/level clones and fight enemies that vary heavily in damage types, including:
  • Physical
  • Energy / battery
  • Explosive / fire
  • Melee
• Enemies often include high-damage “one-shot” ranged units (e.g., shotguns, SMGs, snipers).
• A recurring theme is human suffering (“quasimorphosis”), which can increase when certain damage types—especially fire—are used.

Gameplay Overview (What the Classes Are Used For)

• There are 14 clone classes (the creator notes “if I remember correctly”).
• Each class includes:
  • Passive perks
    • Recommended because they don’t cost resources every time you use them.
  • Active perks
    • Cost satiety when activated.
    • The creator warns this can drain “hundreds of satiety” during a fight.
• The creator emphasizes mix-and-match:
  • Understand how classes’ strengths combine.
  • Plan around damage types and defenses.

Key Systems & Universal Strategies / Tips

Passive Perks vs. Active Perks

• Passive perks > active perks
• Actives reduce satiety performance significantly, so passive sustain/efficiency is prioritized.

Satiety Management Matters

• Each active trigger costs roughly ~80 satiety per use (as shown in subtitles).
• This can severely impact performance mid-fight or while moving.

Training Module (Clone Leveling While Traveling)

• You can train clones up to tier 4.
• Over a long travel period (example: “20 days”), a trained clone can gain 4 levels randomly across what you have available.
• This can make some classes viable earlier than combat pressure would normally allow.

Sprinting Synergy

• Sprinting enables “rubberized legs,” giving:
  • 4 action points while running
• This boosts:
  • Dodge
  • Accuracy while running
  • Overall damage by enabling more shooting opportunities

Explosives & Battlefield Control

• Explosives aren’t only damage tools; they can also provide utility:
  • Break doors/walls
  • Push enemies into hazards (lava/space)
  • Disable enemies via stun

Melee Is Harder to Pilot

• The creator repeatedly states melee classes/perks are difficult unless you tailor your build and playstyle carefully.

Class-by-Class Highlights Mentioned

Names are taken as they appear in subtitles; some may be mis-autoscripted.

Scouts of Hades (Starter-Defense-Focused)

Strengths

• More physical resistance (many early/mid enemies deal physical damage)
• Works with durability (physical armor implies durability is relevant)
• Satiety training consumes fewer calories—helpful with heavy armor
• Accuracy improves combat output, especially with multi-bullet weapons (SMGs/shotguns/ARs)

Notes on Actives

• One active/damage-deploy style is described as situational and hard to manage due to slowness/turn loss
• Large cooldowns are mentioned (example: 9-turn cooldown)

Utility Value

• Includes a mechanic: if enemies miss you, you gain an “extraction point”
• Long cooldown, niche use—but it may enable actions like bandaging, running, or closing doors

General “Keep” Takeaways from Early-Class Analysis

• Most players likely prioritize:
  • Calorie consumption + accuracy
  • Accuracy synergy with SMG / shotguns / assault rifles
• Some options are less appealing long-term because:
  • Passive perks are usually stronger
  • Late-game may depend more on dodge than armor

Eclipse Blade (Generic Best-in-Slot Passive Dodge)

• Presented as:
  • One of the best passive perks in the game
• Likely used by many builds as a survivability baseline.

Sprinting / Regenerative-Style Triggers (Across Classes)

• Pain regeneration / wound healing triggers are framed as extremely important.
• They help when damaging wounds keep ticking over time.

Melee-Focused Classes (Only If Specialized)

• Melee is very hard early
• Even if “fun,” it may lack the smoothness of ranged classes
• Some melee-adjacent abilities can still be used with ranged weapons if they don’t require melee-specific wounds/mechanics

Grenadier (Explosion Bombardment / Grenade-Centered)

Core strengths

• Explosive damage per grenade
• Burn chance in a radius
• Grenade launcher can hold up to ~6 grenades

Grenade effects

• Stun chance / stun duration
• Push enemies into bad zones
• Lacerating / entropy/radiation-like effects

Tactical tip

• Often recommended to fight in the center of the encounter to increase damage/pierce/accuracy.

Limitation

• Requires producing grenades and access to heavy/explosive tools early.
• More of a mid-game fun class than an early-game effortless one.

Tunnel Rats (Loot + Shotgun / Field Clear Emphasis)

• Main perk: extra loot from corpses/containers
• Combat:
  • More damage with shotgun ammo
  • Creator clarifies energy-shotgun ammo doesn’t count the same way

Phoenix Brigade (Energy/Battery Damage Class; High Offense)

Strengths

• Battery / battery-damage amplification
• Some energy weapons can:
  • Ignite enemies
  • Increase detection radius
• Burning immunity and regeneration
• Potentially the highest damage among classes (creator’s claim)

Catch

• Enemies often deal physical damage, so defenses may be weaker versus common threats.
• There’s redundancy with an implant that already grants fire immunity.

Space / Sneak Pistol-Class Vibe (“Space One Ghost”-Type)

Core identity

• Stealth/surprise pistols
• Enemies remain unaware longer after kills
• Improves:
  • Pistol accuracy
  • Pistol range
• A stealth trigger grants extra crit chance
• Synergy with dodge/light builds: sneaking becomes survivability + offense

Angel of Space (Sniper-Heavy Crit + Wound Setup)

Strengths

• Setup trigger for:
  • Critical shot range
  • Crit reliability
• Physical wounds deal more damage
• Optics/sight range + accuracy
• Long-range shots can induce panic

Strategic note

• Snipers aren’t just “one bullet”; the creator suggests setups that increase projectile count via implants or weapon rules.

Bane (Quasimorphosis-Enabled Melee Challenge Class)

Core mechanics (as described)

• Uses pain / pain management to gain action points and manipulate perk cooldowns
• Quasimorphosis can be used advantageously at certain levels

Limitation

• Presented as niche, harder, and needing specific support/conditions.

Therapist (Med-XP + Status Application)

Strengths

• Dealing damage that applies an effect grants 5 XP
• Suggested weapon synergy:
  • Lasers (burning/bleeding and other effects)

Pressure Points (Pain-Stacking Pistol/SMG/Shotgun Stun Tank Role)

Strengths

• More pain damage
• Faster stun buildup
• Designed for pistol, SMG, shotguns

Role

• “Tank” style: mitigate and disable rather than pursue raw damage.

Martial Artist / “French” (Tanky Implant Cooldown + Augment Resistance)

Strengths

• Lower implant cooldown
• Robotic wounds heal faster (for wounds not handled by bandages)
• Augments improve:
  • Resistance to debuffs
  • Certain resist values significantly

Creator stance

• Considered one of the best classes; described as “busted”/very strong

Devastation Tactic (Heavy Ammo / Explosive Ammo)

Strengths

• Heavy ammo (.12.7 mm) has a chance to explode
• Intended to destroy groups quickly

Other perks

• Reload faster after kills
• Less scatter / more shooting accuracy with heavier weapons

Role

• Can “work on its own,” but is harder to obtain.

Funk Kong (Fire-Focused Survivability / Offense)

Strengths

• Pain threshold + pain regeneration (slow, but “you won’t feel pain”)
• Fire duration/burn chance and ignition synergy with energy weapons
• Piercing chance scaling with sniper energy pierce behavior
• Dodge bonuses from being attacked (cooldown issues mentioned)

Limitation

• Some enemies resist or are immune to fire, reducing universal value.

Cobra (Throwing / Melee Hybrid Critique)

Strengths

• Uses throwing weapons (daggers/tomahawks implied)
• Grants extra strikes and mentions stun/turn/health components

Critique

• Labeled as likely skipped; requires many precise consumables/items.

“Captain Krav Maga” (Meme “Bare Hands” / Assist Golem Support)

• Described as mostly meme/unserious
• Mentions golems/robots that:
  • Heal allies
  • Transfer damage to robots/turrets
• Lots of weird conditional mechanics; creator says it’s unlikely to work practically

Notable Gameplay References / Lore-Like Mentions

• “Warhammer 40K” (used to describe a perk concept)
• A Sylvester Stallone “Cobra” movie reference (mentioned as a meme)
