In order to avoid having a huge amount of events, I'm using the ReplaceSolidColor effect to create different type of enemies. Will the ReplaceSolidColor have a huge impact on the performance of my game? I would rather have one object and modify the instance variables for NPC_A, NPC_B, etc. and not duplicate all the events for each type of enemy.

Effects > Performance: 'Using too many effects can cause poor performance, especially on mobile devices.'

Thank you!

The only way to tell for sure is to test it. Some effects impact the performance more than others, especially on mobile devices. If you have many objects with this effect, it may be better to place them all on a separate layer and apply the effect to the layer.
