During this discussion, you have to keep in mind that the Scramblers ability (independent of every other factor) is definitely the most powerful of all Specials.

• Bombshell: 3 Damage plus 0-6 splash damage, usually 4 damage on average. That's painful.
• Mobi: Teleporting slow units saves you turns and Wits. Okay, that's nice.
• Scrambler: brainwashing an enemy unit not only reduces your opponents presence on the field but it simultaneously increases yours. Your enemy just lost a unit and you gained one - without using your Spawn Space.
  

During beta, the scrambled unit kept its health - if you saw a Scrambler it was basically over for you, it just steamrolled through your defenses like a snowball gathering mass on the way.
Increasing the Scrambler's resilience may cause this style of play to re-emerge.
