Analysis
Mind-numb serums are best used to keep critical pawns like doctors and psycasters from mental breaking when you can least afford it. The immunity to mental break effect can also be used to offset the mood penalty from using the juggernaut and metalblood serums. Notably, pawns on mind-numb serums will not trigger the fleeing fire mental break from the pyrophobia gene,
so have your sanguophages dose themselves when you plan to use incendiary weapons around them or when facing fire wielding enemies such as mechanoids or Impids.
When a pawn takes Mind-Numb Serum, their Mood bar becomes "locked" at the level it was at. All Thoughts are nullified. This means that pawns with the Psychic harmonizer implant can take Mind-Numb Serum when their mood is at its highest to keep their mood bar set to its maximum for the duration of the Serum. This guarantees that the Harmonizer will always be outputting its maximum benefit until the Serum expires. Mind-Numb only lasts for two days, so it would not be feasible to keep a pawn with a Psychic harmonizer always on the Serum due to the cost, but this strategy still can be used to prevent a psychic harmonizer from making a difficult situation worse.
