" On a related note, the patton in general has limited shelf life. Once you are playing with the big boys it seems like a 4 aphid setup would be killer right!? I mean, Andrian has a video where he and his clan is cleaning house with them, but in that same video you see a pot head warrior (leo + ancil + 3 aphids) that lasts nearly the whole game....that guy has 25% less fire power, but 2.5x more hp + ancil, and costs 250 more gold and some silver (which is basically monopoly money)...that is a way more effective bot for that type of game play. That is why my Pattons are collecting dust.'

The problem with the ancile-aphid Leo is that it is also very, VERY slow. It takes twice as long to get where it's going as a Patton and can't duck behind cover as quickly. This is offset by the extra health and shield, but you are sacrificing a lot of speed for that in a game where speed is becoming increasingly more important, people without Haechi's are stockpiling energy weapons, and anything with an aphid is an immediate target.
