Strong start, the ideal play with elite is sell the 200 cost unit to spawn 2 lv2 units, when available. Maintaining level advantage is your win condition many times, the moment their units match yours at lv2 you've lost your only advantage. Also, though costly at 600 per unit plus 200 unlock cost, adding some lv 2 giants is huge to your overall power since elite is paying for free xp and giants take the most to level/ gain the most from leveling. Lv5 crawler flank was the play the round you drew it because it has the HP of 5 crawlers and can overrun its counter easily, arcs cant oneshot them unless they are lv4 or higher.
I don't think I'm understanding what's bad about elite spec? It doesn't give less money, does it raise costs? I thought everything cost the same just gets higher levels for free. How is that bad?
That should have been Hackers on round 4 and 5. You underestimate how much tanking lvl 2 Hackers bring to the board vs Balls and Rhinos. And you had enough both chaff and clear already to protect them and keep them on important targets.
