Crisis at half mu does EQUAL of that of booster's max. Since the beginning steps are cheapers, use that surplus of crystals you have left to buy extra supplies for yourself.
Defender used for attacking/defending isn't the point. It's that it allows defender's ability to match that of crisis.
Point towards camping... what's good for camping.. a drone that uses 5x the boost supply and giving 20% extra, or a drone that uses 3x the supply whilst giving 60% extra. Afterall you're not gonna need to switch many supplies as a camper, maybe few mines here and there and repairs, but Crisis using damage boost with magnum hiding behind buildings is FAR more useful than the same combo on booster.
Again, justifying it on the priciple of camping is just not gonna work, that argument already favors crisis users while camping.
More supplies used per 30 seconds, I agree it does. But it gives much higher benefit for that. You see on the one hand I'm spending 5 supply for 20% increase vs 3 supply for 60,90,70% increase that too in a single drone. The versatality aswell as the price you pay for the enhanced effect is well balanced. Except in the case of booster.
You've never faced me you don't know anything about my playstyle. I'm not a camper and if I was I'd be cheering for crisis anyway. Booster has been previously the single most used drone. Everyone bought it given it's value at that time, now you suddenly decide to create a more versatile drone, that costs the same to upgrade, that has more boosted % than your single focused drone whilst being cheaper to operate in certain cases then obviously that's gonna get people mad.
Again, that's not the point I'm making. On the one hand you have a drone that's 'master of all' that can do all that booster, trickster and defender can do whilst doing it cheaper. Only down side is it does those things one at a time. Cool. But on the other hand the single supply focused drones are pointless. Who wants to spend same amount of crystals on a drone that's not gonna give you the same level of playing advantage as the 'master of all' drone that also uses less supplies. Given the pricing of the drones being same and the supply useage, there is no debate. Crisis reigns over all.
