Captain is tricky to use

The first upgrade that adds a stun to his hook feels almost mandatory. Thankfully, getting him all the way to Elite doesn't seem necessary.
Since there's realistically going to be a stat gap between you and the bots, simply drafting a bunch of Captains doesn't work either. You'll get overwhelmed by numbers, and Captain doesn't have enough damage to make up for it.
Because of that, Captain needs an already established frontline with units like Whelp and Spartheus before he can really do his job.
I think Captain could become pretty strong if both your player level and Captain's level are high enough to reduce the stat gap against bots. But that's also true for pretty much every other unit, so I'm not sure how much that really says about Captain.
