Dazzle cheeks are a high-tier mask most commonly found very deep underground. When worn and booted up, it increases its wearer's ○DV by 3, but reduces their MA by 1. This stat shift requires 5 units of charge per turn, which must be fulfilled by its built-in zero-point energy collector under normal conditions due to its inability to use energy cells. The bonus stacks with the dazzle cheek's inherent ○DV of 1, meaning that it provides a total of 4 ○DV when worn.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • The ○DV bonus provided by dazzle cheeks is not be averaged across multiple parts, meaning that each one provides nearly its full ○DV value regardless of how many face slots you have. This allows them to combine exceptionally well with two-faced helmets and the Two-headed mutation, potentially providing a massive ○DV boost if several are worn together.
  • The ZPEC's vulnerability to normality can be negated with the fitted with suspensors mod (which adds an energy cell socket that can be used instead) or the jacked mod (which allows the dazzle cheek to draw power from its wearer directly.)
  • Overloading a dazzle cheek will increase its ○DV bonus to +4 while negating its MA penalty entirely, but will also cause it to periodically break unless it is also sturdy.
