For the lower percentage squads, sometimes it’s tough to know whether to go with a pair from the same squad or EG and whatever is in the squad. Just did four runs with Instruments of Destruction, two with EG and Soundwave and two with Soundwave and Soundblaster.
The first EG/SW node was Pig City. I used SW mostly and then EG to take out the one WMT. The second was Desert and had nine WMTs so I used EG exclusively and took them all out.
For SB/SW, the first was a River node with nine WMTs and didn’t take a single one out. The second was Forest (plains) and had one WMT that I left alone. In both, I flip-flopped, but probably used SW a bit more since he was more effective against the flying pigs.
My results:
Pig City, 1 WMT, EG/SB – 262 pre-bonus, 294 post-bonus. With SB/SW, it would have been 257 pre, 321 post. SB/SW winner
River, 9 WMTs, SB/SW – 226 pre, 282 post. With EG/SB, it would have been 271 pre, 304 post. EG/SB winner
Forest (plains), 1 WMT, SB/SW – 404 pre, 505 post. With EG/SB, it would have been 409 pre, 460 post. SB/SW winner
Desert, 9 WMTs, EG/SB – 188 pre, 211 post. With SB/SW, it would have been 143 pre, 178 post. EG/SB winner
My total score, after bonus, was 1,292. If I would have gone EG/SW for all four it would have been 1,269 and 1,286 if I used SB/SW for all four. So, I did better than if I went one way or the other, but the second two runs were just dumb luck getting them correct. It could have been 1,214 if I would have gone the other way on the last two, or 1,341 if I picked correctly for the first two.
So, in the end, with a range of 1,214 to 1,341 (for the runs I had), it may not matter too much what’s used.
Of course, as @geli said, YMMV.
Maybe it’s time to add more to my log to see if there is a pattern to the nodes. It might give a bit of an edge in a more competitive competition.
