I have done all of them and am fine with anyone of these strategies, but want to know why so many would choose 8-8? I understand the first set of 8, this makes there be no mortars and only shade. But why not just do 4-4 after? The way I see it is, running from mortars is easy, but I can see why people avoid it. But why stack bombs when your going to shade anyways? The bombs are like an erase button bungie gave us, detonate and all adds die. This saves time and leaves no adds on the field for the shade. Once again I like all of them, but I don't see why 8-8 is better than 8-4-4. Edit 1: Thanks for all of the feed back. I will include a 16 orb option, if someone can tell me how to add it?
