OMG what happened to...

other mutants have better effects/are in the missions so yeh..

Really now...

Smoke is a joke

Maiden has double jump abilty and cloaking
Assassin has Knockback grenades
Dread has more HP and double speed boost
Hulk has normal speed boost

But smoke...

only a useless cloud of smoke
The only use I can find is that it can cover mutants

He's still available in the item mall, so he hasn't disappeared, people just like the maiden (op as she is) and the assassin for obvious reasons why people use shovels in knife matches and gm. lol

Personally though, a good Smoke could devastate a human team, if they can't see, they can't aim properly, thus easier to snatch.

Maiden was nerfed to death

Jump is a lot worse than before

Only the Maiden Titan can be able to jump higher than normal mutants.

The other day I bought the Smoke character for a week, and I absolutely love using him. I get to go around as a big daddy! He's got kind of a slow attack, and he can't attack for a few seconds after he gets mutated, but it makes playing as mutant a lot more tactical. And the smoke is actually very useful if you know how to use it, especially at the beginning of the round when there's more humans than mutants.

Example: Port HM/HM. You get chosen as a mutant, along with some random 10 year old trainee hiding in a corner, probably going negative. Everyone is up at A site. What do?

1. Sneak around the side where no one looks, along the wall and close to the corner.
2. Jump and smoke. Everyone up on the platform has an absolutely black screen for 20 seconds or so. (It's much thicker than the regular grey)
3. Couch jump on the ramp from the side, and jump-run up. Only 1-2 people on the top of the ramp will be able to even hit you, and even they can only spray at your red name.
4. ?????
5. Profit. And by profit I mean 4+ mutations, and the main camping site cleared out by the 2 minute mark. Your new minions can hunt down and swarm any remaining survivors, while you sneak around and attack them from the side.


EDIT: On the topic of the Maiden, her jump in the first evolution in hero mode is the same as normal mutants. Berserker and titans will get the increased jump as a passive bonus. In regular mutation mode, however, all Maidens still have the ninja leap.
