Once one is created and well defended it is incredibly difficult to kill it and usually results in the Scallywags player winning just through attrition. I think limiting its ability to shell (my second idea) would keep it pretty much the same while making it riskier to use like the other specials. At high levels I see not much changing. At lower levels I see S players screwing up their defenses more allowing their opponents to kill their helpless Bombshell.

I based my BS decision the BS is OP on the Bramble changes actually. Bramble V1 vs Scallywags = favores S, Bramble V2 vs Scallywags = favors S even more due to +1 wit for killing thorns, Bramble V3 vs Scallywags = S still at least breaks even. That makes the bombshell the only special that didn't totally roll over to Bramble V3 which I think most of us will agree was an incredibly OP special.

Mobi I still see as pretty balanced, even if Adorables are the best team out there at high levels. To me that just means the other teams are underpowered, especially Feedback (and maybe Veggies, we shall see).

Scrambler does need a buff. I think it should be something that increases its survivability by at least 1 turn, as most of the time you only get 1 use out of the thing before it ides. I think giving it even 1 more HP, though, would be OP. It needs to be frail so it's riskier to use it, but that's why I think letting it scramble at range would be a good buff.

either way, I would prefer to think in terms of lower level play for the balance of special units because there are simply more players at lower levels. What a Super Titan or even a Master can do doesn't really matter when there are 5 times as many players in Gifted and Clever who can't figure out how to beat a single Bombshell

Replay with example of "unbeatable bombshell", please.
