Just played a game in which I focused mostly on AVOIDING the enemy scrambler. Unfortunately, that cost most of my wits. I feel like if I had a Mobi, I could have easily destroyed it.

I used to think this as well, but I think the best response to a special is often not one of your own. The best defense against a scrambler seems to be a mass of soldiers/runners. This way you have the best opportunity to remove it and whatever it converted from the field. It's easy to spread your units with a mobi, which is exactly the perfect target for a scrambler.

Against a bombshell, it can be better to use those wits to just move your units to attack a less defended area.

A mobi is probably best defended by pushing wherever the mobi is not. The mobi can deliver units to the battle, but if you fight away from it, you completely negate it.
