Still interested in your # of attempts with 2S and # of attempts with 8B + success rate with 8B so we can actually compare them. If you're going to say one is better citing a single ability that does good damage doesn't say anything about actual win rates, which is what people are going to care about long term.
I'm not willing to say that 8B is better because he can use an AoE to attack Jawas hidden under stealth, nor am I willing to say that 2S is better because her first special does a lot of damage.
What I'm interested in is comparing as many runs with 2S as possible vs. as many runs with 8B as possible and seeing what the data says -- then once we find an advantage or disadvantage, reverse engineering what those might be by watching runs of failed missions and trying to figure out where those missions went wrong. Sometimes it might be that there's an optimal strategy to recover from that situation and the failures are just that some people don't know it -- but if they did the toon with the lesser win rate would see their win rate climb just as high. But sometimes you can find something in the kit that explains what's going on and verify that the data is reflecting a weakness of one toon or an advantage of another toon that just can't be compensated for.
I would love it if you could add to that conversation, but I'm afraid I already knew that 2S has a heavy hitting attack.
So I ask again, what was your success rate with 8B? How did you actually compare the successes and failures, and did you have enough runs to make valid statistical conclusions? Or are you just impressed with big hits and never bothered to compare success rates before declaring one toon better than the other?
