Thoughts
green starter is soo weak in a multitude of situations. but as P1 with a guaranteed MP in the opener it’s just plainly awesome!
I choose to offer cal for a suboptimal kill for him. I assume he’ll take it with skipping tech1. I’m not entirely sure whether my calculations until t4 are 100% correct, but this line ended up better in most worst case scenarios compared to lines without playing a hero now, hence my willingness to make that sacrifice.
