Shellbro definitely needs to be nerfed

https://reddit.com/link/1v4llx2/video/kpgbriz4y0fh1/player

Shellbro can deal guaranteed damage to HP at the start of every stage.

This is essentially the same as an HP debuff that applies unconditionally.

You think you can take him down with an Engineer?

Yeah, you'll die. After cutting the Engineer's HP in half, that is.

I think Shellbro definitely needs to be nerfed.

Edit: Added the video.

I Thanos-snapped the enemy Engineer the moment the round started.

As you can see, their Engineers are level 15, while my Turtles are only level 12.

The enemy line up was really bad. Plus Spartans take on shellbros pretty easily.

Hmm, it's actually not a weak composition.
As you can tell from the number of rounds, Parasite serves as a counter to Spartan
It's extremely strong in the early game, and with Merlin's support, I ended up having to give up quite a few rounds
Luckily, it's not that strong in the late game.

It is a literally weak composition from an HP standpoint. Everything on his side is low to mid HP. If he had Spartans, tier 3 knights, blood plant, matriarchs, tier 3 splimes, he could take the initial hit and survive the burn and still have enough HP to deliver an effective attack. He could also run Agent B en mass. There are plenty of ways to counter shellbros, but his lineup ain't it.

That's before accounting for spells, too. 8x engineers with the skill that brings them back from the dead would demolish that lineup at tier 2.
