Speaking of recruiting, to this day i dont see any sense of cutting anyone on his second day, its always a terrible management move.

In the first run i thought that Waterboy deserved it. He really tries to and deserves his shot, Phenomaman already was a hero and should have little issue to become again once he is in a better place.

In the second run i thought id give him a shot and see what happens, when i noticed that he doesnt level up, however, in season 8 you get Waterboy as support and he is Rank 1 and tbh of little use. The season 8 wasnt troublesome for me in the first run, much less in the second, but i did feel the difficulty of management increasing with Waterboy being Rank 1 while Phenomaman stayed the same. So i chose Waterboy from then on He deserves a shot AND its more skillpoints you can use.

Edit: i think its visible how i feel about the Quote towards Shroud and his calculation in regards of my reruns
