* Because the [[Mutating]] effect rerolls your genome repeatedly immediately before its effects are determined, it is possible to use [[Precognition]] to reroll the effects of a Gamma Moth's mutation; however, doing so ''safely'' is extremely difficult. | * Because the [[Mutating]] effect rerolls your genome repeatedly immediately before its effects are determined, it is possible to use [[Precognition]] to reroll the effects of a Gamma Moth's mutation; however, doing so ''safely'' is extremely difficult. | ||
** Mutating lasts 100 turns, so to be able to revert back to before you started mutating and reroll as many times as you want you will need a [[Precognition]] of at level 23, plus a method (like [[Teleportation]]) to reliably escape after ending your vision without being hit again. | ** Mutating lasts 100 turns, so to be able to revert back to before you started mutating and reroll as many times as you want you will need a [[Precognition]] of at level 23, plus a method (like [[Teleportation]]) to reliably escape after ending your vision without being hit again. | ||

** When using weaker levels of Precognition to reroll the result, it is extremely important that you time your activation so that it covers the actual moment when the mutating effect ends and you see your result - if you activate Precognition too soon, it will wear off before that and you'll lose your chance to reroll. When you start getting messages that say that "you feel increasingly unstable", you are halfway through the 100-turn duration. | ** When using weaker levels of Precognition to reroll the result, it is extremely important that you time your activation so that it covers the actual moment when the mutating effect ends and you see your result - if you activate Precognition too soon, it will wear off before that and you'll lose your chance to reroll.

** [[True Kin]] can use {{favilink|Sphynx salt injector|plural}} to reroll repeatedly, provided they use them with proper timing. Remember, you will need one injector for each reroll that proves necessary, so bring as many as you can. | ** [[True Kin]] can use {{favilink|Sphynx salt injector|plural}} to reroll repeatedly, provided they use them with proper timing.

* Another option to exploit Gamma Moths is simply to accept gaining ''every single'' defect; once you have them all, there's no longer any further risk to being mutated by a Gamma Moth. In exchange, you can eventually use gamma moths to learn every single positive mutation and raise them all to level 10. While accepting every defect in the game may seem crippling, the advantages of every positive mutation more than outweigh them (with the possible exception of [[Evil Twin]], since your twin will be likewise freakishly powerful and will have to be handled carefully.) Note that unless you are a [[Chimera]], doing this will raise your [[Psychic Glimmer]] extremely high (and the fact that you are accepting [[Irritable Genome]] means you won't be able to avoid this.) If you intend to do this, you may want to learn [[Psychometry]], [[Horns]], and [[Photosynthetic Skin]] in advance, which will let you avoid [[Albino]], [[Carnivorous]], [[Dystechnia]], and [[Psionic Migraines]]. | |||
