<div class="IPBDescription">basically gives you immortality</div>If you combine hypermutation and feign death, you can become essentially immortal. Especially if you have an Onos evolved.
Once you start taking too much damage just hypermutate into a lower class (all while taking fire on the egg) with feign death and quickly get away. Since feign death triggers inside the hypermutation egg and you pop out with full health, you basically can't die doing this.
Even if you do manage to take too much fire, feign death will just trigger again and save you... you could even just re-evolve in the middle of battle into an Onos complete with full health / full energy / reset feign death timer.
Here's a video to better demonstrate what I'm talking about:

As best I can tell the problem is that feign death triggers inside the egg and once the evolution is complete the timer for feign death is also reset. Surely this can't be the way it's supposed to work?

both removed in 224
224 Truly is the 2nd coming of christ
Good to hear.
I have still managed to die doing this - even as an egg, which I found odd (i think there was so much gl spam that even with the quick evolve, and feign death on the egg, my egg still died before it finished evolving). And you really are a sitting duck if you don't evolve in time before feign death kicks in (if you're onos anyway, as you'll get shot the second you unfeign, and if you're in the middle of their base, you'll get shot quicker than you can press b, click skulk, and click evolve). Although 99.9% of the time, even if you evolve right in the middle of their base, you can survive it (as long as you egg before feign death kicks in on the higher lifeform). Wait until 224 comes out though. I'm fairly sure it won't be possible after the changes. If it is though, it definitely needs to be changed.
