I’m fine with continuing in whatever capacity you’d like. Blue vs Vandy is undoubtedly terrible, but I don’t generally win against anyone so they all kinda blend together.
Interesting mixture of specs. Geiger can flicker things, very nasty if a Crashbarrow survives an attack. Setsuki can add stealth, and can deal with Blue’s mass weenies using Shuriken Hail. Drakk has Bloodlust, to make up for White usually struggling against non-patrolling illusions early on. Fuzz Cuddles can heal the big Present II units, so Hyperion has more chance to make itself useful. Drakk + Bugblatter also work nicely with Fox Den Students.

Inverse Power Ninja can be copied with Manufactured Truth, but given how many units Blue likes to have it might be more trouble for flagrant than it’s worth. I think Crash Bombers are better for efficiency here, though.

Okay, I think we let charnel_mouse work through this Patrol Zone. I think I’m losing Bigby, but with the way thinks are orchestrated, they don’t have a choice but to either leave me be, kill Bigby and either harm themselves extra OR give me resources, OR just kill the Newsman. I think that’s okay.

Um, Morningstar Flagbearer in Elite to stop Onimaru, I suppose? That’s actually a good trade for him, though, since I don’t get free levels. I’ll try Geiger in Elite behind Smoker instead, since he’s my only hero that starts with 2 attack.
