in the end nearly any phobie can profit (Even zombies will heal more)
but ranged units or guys like sheeping gas are more threatening.
But i can understand the dissapointment. he’s not a fight guy and especially at the start the options are very limited so a beefy strong guy might fit better.
but yes, Cupcake is a menace. together with Bonzo Gonzo, heavo plaid, le shovell and fantome it’s like nuking spaces wherever i want. Ash would be neat as well for the playstyle the game is giving me phobies for ^^ (moving 5 hexes and attacking buff twiced, a dream)
noxious is also a good target because of his no -50% area damage.
even Bo Mangles just like one shooting Erratic with the damage buff of cupcake and stabby especially kinda hard counters him as well. many good choices avaiable
