Data & Methodology (How scores are calculated) Season 10

Efficiency: Efficiency Score is a normalized "space ROI" metric: (estimated effect value ÷ size slots). It is NOT raw DPS.

ROI: ROI estimates assume standard round pacing and compare this item against same-tier peers by cost and slot usage.

Percentile: Percentiles are computed within the same category/tier bucket (e.g., Tech items at similar cost).

Meta Strategic Position

The Busy Bee is best classified as Filler. At 0g and 1 slot(s), it’s a placement-safe (global) item where timing matters.

Low-to-mid cost means it can be used as a tempo stabilizer if it fits your board plan. Low footprint makes it easy to slot in without breaking your grid.

Quick Conclusions

Verdict: Situational — free filler, take only if you can spare 1 slot(s) or you need its tags.
Trigger: global — placement-safe (won’t usually break).
Best synergy: Angry Balloon Bot (score 3 • shared tags: Friend, Weapon, Damage).
0g note: evaluate by slot pressure (1) + tag fit (ROI rounds don’t apply).


### Efficiency & ROI Analysis
Your efficiency score (2.5) is a *space ROI* signal, not raw DPS. This usually means it needs support pieces and correct timing to justify the slots. Since this is 0g, prioritize whether it preserves your grid plan without blocking higher-impact pieces.

Board Flexibility

Because it is Small, you can pivot into it with minimal disruption. This is ideal when you need to keep options open while scouting opponents.
