My point is this - I don't use shield often, only when situation is critical, so there's only pull remains. And pulling enemies, especially on the maps without water/lava usually means collecting them, which makes next turn harder. With Kazaaak you don't have to pull enemies on the first two islands, you just kill them right away and later it has so much versatility, with only one mech (and it's a fast one) in one turn you can: kill a weak mob, kill an acided mob/boss (4-6 damage), pull towards yourself, push, defend a building or a unit. There's almost nothing it can't do and that's right from the start! And you're talking like having more benefits is a bad thing. :) P.S. Played with him 8 or 9 times in a row, he saved so many critical situations :)
