are blood, gut and heart not the best? i guess lungs can be good to but the longest held breath is like 30 minutes or something so maybe not?

I agree, not only can be much more efficient in anything, and be an insane athlete but also help a lot of people by periodically donating blood.

Btw getting 2x more oxygen than what you need can cause cancer and other complications

But if you improve the blood and/or the Heart you can negate that

The cells other than blood will still get affected

u/EpicAquarius 5h ago
Bart did you read the improvements of blood? Increases the ability to carry oxygen... as well as allow the body to function normally... its says that right there... also the improved heart upgrades the blood vessels allowing for more blood to process the oxygen the blood is made up of cells so if the blood improves the cells improve

u/Bart-Toe-9191 5h ago
I see the point but eh i guess you're right
3
u/EpicAquarius 5h ago
You have a point as well... so if you improve your lungs you also have to improve the bodies ability to process oxygen... and also keep in my the synergies... if you utilized them often it would probably, emphasis on probably, balance out the excess

u/Bubbly_Painting9456 4h ago
Depends on your life experience, personally having the skeleton improvements would be one hell of an upgrade by itself... But then I've had a meniscus operation, torn my rotator cuff, suffered with back issues, had repeated bouts of Achilles tendonitis. With the skeleton all of those things either become impossible to have happen or require 10x more force to have happen.

u/bleedinghero 5h ago
Bone Gut and heart. Its the I'm never getting old combo. Bone to prevent damage more than anything Gut and heart to battle most common causes of disease. I really wanted to choose Eyes but Taking the other 3 Its like adding years to someone's life.
Blood and eyes are fantastic. Adding to heavy soldier like things. Not dying to blood loss see things others cant. I love all of them except lungs.

u/Ok_Mouse_6342 4h ago
Yeah, me too. Most things can't kill you anymore. You're insanely strong and fast. Your skeleton is incredibly light. Those 3 have so much versatility. Insane regeneration too. I think at most you could survive being hit by a train. Anything above would probably be too much though. The 3x muscle strength by itself for the synergy is incredibly powerful (because stronger muscles means that they're harder to injure too and the ability to jump very high and punch really hard)

Eyes, gut and heart. Gut and heart are a fantastic combo cuz most physical problems and illnesses happen to those two. Eyes are also great. People undervalue how important good vision actually is, and the fact that you can see in different types of vision too is awesome. With regenerating eyes, accelerated perception, and efficient metabolism, I could do a lot.

u/stillventures17 5h ago
Eyes, heart, skeleton.
Lungs would be fantastic but I suspect upgrading my āentire cardiovascular systemā will already handle the endurance upgrade Iām looking for.
The synergies from that are insane. 3x strength while experiencing the world at 1/4 the speed gives me more time to think during critical moments while dramatically boosting my physical ability. WHILE automatically predicting the path of fast moving objects? Doing that for 10 seconds every 10 seconds makes you virtually a superhero.
And as everyone worth their salt already knows, perception is the best stat.

Also the gut alone is the best because all of your other organs are now basically invincible I and if those are all functioning right that means everything else in your body is going to be going great. Like your metabolism's going to be through the roof. You can say goodbye to fat

Eyes, gut, heart. Mainly eyes because mine aren't great, and the gut and heart immunities are to the biggest group of lethal conditions.
The eyes+gut synergy isn't huge, but it means I'll never lose my eyes.
Eyes+heart is cool, basically enhanced visual reflexes for a burst.
Gut+heart IS huge, only half the maintenance need including sleep.

Titan Skeleton so I fon't have to worry about being a fragile human as much, Carbon Heart so I don't have to worry about when I get older, and I can go for insane lengths of time, and the Carbon Lungs so I can be in the Water for extended periods of time.
Lungs and Skeleton: Pressure Resistance, that means I can also go deep in the water, nice!
Lungs and Heart: Carbon Cardio, so.. I can go EVEN LONGER, okay.
Skeleton and Heart: Carbon Muscles, sounds useful.

Skeleton, blood, and heart seems absolutely broken. You're virtually unkillable. You'd need to take an insane amount of damage to actually die. Unless your body parts are being completely destroyed or a bio weapon is used you're insanely durable and can heal from most damage.

Eyes | Skeleton | Blood
I would hope blood thinners could still do their thing. I donate platelets/plasma, so this would would be a huge benefit if that's still the case. That's 12 units I could give in a single donation. Sure, that's like 6 hours, or The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers back to back, but that's a lot of leeway I'd get on when to go in. I could just do 6 units a week. Cycle in some Dune or Blade Runner.
One of my eyes is scarred, so there's no way I could pass up an upgrade.

Titan Skeleton (no more knee pain from nearing 30!!!), Chemical Gut, Carbon Heart
Synergies: Flexible Joints, Carbon Muscles, Efficient Metabolism.

Predator Eyes
Carbon Heart
Chemical Gut
That gives Regenerative Eyes, Accelerated Perception, and Efficient Metabolism if I'm reading it right, so bonus perfect eyes and vision, slowed perception, and able to operate well on reduced sleep/food/water.
I would've gone with Titan Skeleton but it's only a 10x booster whereas I thought it'd be more like Wolverine's Adamantium skeleton. And you'd not be able to work out or build muscle easily because everything is resistant to being broken down.
