I can agree with this. Mobi feels like the hardest Special unit to guard, since he's only a utility unit and doesn't add to your power. Bombshell is difficult to take down if you just buff and shell it, and provides an immediate threat, and Scrambler is dangerous just by floating around in the shadows, which keeps opponents away until they can scout his location, whereas I feel Mobi needs his team's defenses up before he can effectively come into play. Early Mobis, besides the silly FTA Turn 3 Mobi shenanigans that I can get away with on the ladder, often end with Mobi dying once my opponent figures out that I used 9+ Wits to spawn a Mobi and that I'm actually at a power disadvantage.
