Was wanting to know which slots should I put these in? which slots do I have to put samples in that can give me special attacks? I am a newbie to critter making

OK standard blurb. All 5 slots contribute to final armor and resist values. However the amount they contribute varies. Physical is 40%, prowess and agression are 25 % each and mental and psychological are 5% a piece. The most important stat for armor and effective resist is fortitude. So your highest armor/resist/fortitude should go into physical. The next two into prowess and aggression. Watch out though because special and effective armor do NOT mix on damage type. Only special armor will come through if you try and mix them. This means that any slots with effective resist to a damage type will contribute 0 to that damage type. This means that you will end up with lower than expected armor. Especially bad if you the effective if physical, prowess and aggression. This would mean that only 10% of the spceial armor would get through. (10% of 65 giving you 6.)

Sorry about the double submit. Working on formatting and I somehow submitted twice. grr. Anyway the general opinion seems to be that mental determines ranged attack. Its a chance thing. The better the quality of ranged attack DNA you put into the mental slot the better you chance of getting ranged attack. Specials seem to be linked to psychology, metal and aggression. I think there may also be some chance involved because I have put the same DNA specials in all 5 slots and had no special come through on one of the slots. The general opinion seems to be that psychology determines special1 most of the time and aggression controls special 2 but there seem to be a few exceptions to this.

thats a great tip, never knew special and effective dont swap, will save me alot of work blending in higher resists , on first combine and generations, thank you so much
