PX/Perfect X

A set of mutations deemed to be the "Perfect" setup for the purposes of maximizing score and longevity.

The Perfect 7 is Strong Spirit, Trigger Fingers, Long Arms, Rhino Skin, Scarier Face, Plutonium Hunger and Stress.
Steroids and Skeleton have Eagle Eyes and Extra Feet as part of their P7, usually replacing Stress.

A Perfect 8, less reliable to achieve is the same but with Laser Brain or Bloodlust added.
Rabbit Paw is sometimes considered another P8, but this is not widely believed.

A Perfect 9, achieved by taking Crown of Destiny or Redemption adds the other Mutation from the Perfect 8.

As Melting is not considered an optimal character for top scoring, their potential for up to P13 is not often considered important, alongside how some Mutations are worse on Melting than other Mutants.

Starving

A number of strategies, typically used to optimize a Daily or Weekly run.

Rad Starving is the most unique and refers to intentionally avoiding leveling up by not picking up Radiation/using Horror's Active. This is usually done to avoid the drawback of Crown of Destiny after getting the free Mutation or to exploit the Mutation order on Dailies/Weeklies.

Rat Starving refers to allowing Big Rats to spawn as many Green Rats as possible for more kills/Pickups.
Similar strategies exist for other Enemies with spawn limits, such as Hunter Starving for Lil' Hunter's I.D.P.D. spawns and Fly Starving for Jungle Fly's Maggot spawns.
