What Not to Pair with Mad Scientist

Bad augment synergies and pairings to avoid

Avoid

Avoid Mad Scientist + Glass Cannon

Glass Cannon sets your health threshold to 70% of maximum health, which severely conflicts with Mad Scientist's 20% bonus health option. If you roll the health variant, a large portion of the bonus becomes functionally useless since you cannot exceed the threshold. This creates a 50% chance of significant stat waste on every respawn.

Avoid Mad Scientist + Recursion

Mad Scientist already provides either 70 ability haste or 30% adaptive force on respawn. Taking Recursion for a flat 60 ability haste creates massive diminishing returns when you roll the haste variant, offering 130 total ability haste. The stat overlap is inefficient, and you sacrifice potential damage or utility for redundant cooldown reduction.

Avoid Mad Scientist + Goliath

Goliath grants 35% bonus health, 15% adaptive force, and 50% increased size. This heavily overlaps with Mad Scientist's health and force variant, which provides 20% bonus health, 30% adaptive force, and 40% increased size. When you roll this variant, the combined size increase is excessive and the stat stacking is less impactful than diverse augments.

Avoid Mad Scientist + Giant Slayer

Giant Slayer grants 20% bonus movement speed and reduces size by 75%. This anti-synergizes with Mad Scientist's health variant, which grants 40% increased size. The size changes conflict thematically, and if you roll the movement speed variant, you have redundant speed bonuses while wasting the unique Mad Scientist roll opportunity.
