The regenerating effect only occurs if Delta's astral form is standing in water no EVE is gained if Delta's body is standing in water while his astral form is on dry land. Fountain of Youth will allow the player to gain health and EVE by standing in water, even while in Scout mode, thus allowing the player to cast Plasmids literally ad infinitum.Fire Storm, Electrical Storm, Ice Storm and Elemental Storm will all give any Splicers that discover the player's body a nasty surprise.The EVE Saver line of Tonics will slightly reduce the EVE cost when casting this Plasmid, allowing the user to fire more of them in the long run.Since weapons are unusable in Scout form anyway, the resulting limitations from this Gene Tonic are irrelevant to the use of this Plasmid. Drill Specialist will limit the player's offensive weapon selection to the Drill, but will also greatly decrease the casting cost for all Plasmids.It's still recommended to stay away from exposed areas, as the player will still be vulnerable to stray fire and Splicers bumping into their body. Natural Camouflage is an extremely useful Tonic when using Scout, as it completely hides the player character's body, thus preventing any Splicers from discovering it.If Delta opens the doors but does not exit a Vita-Chamber, then begins using Scout, he can scout outside the Vita Chamber, however the doors will close again, leaving the actual Delta in safety.Be aware that it is common for the appearance of enemies to be triggered only by the appearance of Delta's body, so just because a room is empty when entered in Scout form does not mean it will be that way when Delta enters it in corporeal form.Buying EVE Upgrades at the Gatherer's Garden and researching Big Sisters will extend the amount of Plasmids one can fire before being forced back into Delta's body. It is best to note how much EVE each Plasmid consumes before planning a Plasmid attack, so as to avoid running short at the wrong moment.This strategy works especially well in crowded rooms or against powerful enemies such as Brute Splicers and Big Daddies. Repeated use of Electro Bolt, Incinerate!, Telekinesis or Insect Swarm can potentially kill an enemy without ever running the risk of retribution.If correctly orchestrated, this will cause the enemies in the room to run into the Traps. Set several Cyclone Traps in a room while in Scout form, return to the user's body, and then enter the room to attract attention.Using Scout at level 2, hack the Turrets and Security Cameras (starting with the latter) in the area, and let them attack the Splicers inside.If there are only two or three enemies, use Hypnotize to befriend one of them, end Scout, and come back to finish them off. Use Hypnotize while in a crowded room in Scout form to get all the enemies to fight amongst themselves.If done correctly, the enemy will run to the Station and die from the subsequent poisoning the latter will inflict on them. Then, the player should focus their Plasmid attacks on a single enemy for maximum effect. When Scouting (with Scout 2) a room that has both enemies and a Health Station, it is suggested that the player hack the station first.This will take care of any unwanted Splicers, should they appear.

Before going into Scout form, lay traps around the player character's body.The best way to deploy Scout form is to find a secluded and/or hard to reach area for the user's body to stay. Never use Scout in the middle of a fight or if the user's body is easily visible, since being attacked will interrupt the Plasmid.
