Short answer: Pick one premium ($4-$5) player + 4-5 budget ($1-$2) players. The 'star + role players' approach beats spread-thin strategies.
The math: $5 GOAT + 5 × $1 budget players = $10 exact for a 6-player core. Or $4 Legend + 6 × $1 players = $10. Spreading evenly ($2 average × 5 players) gives you 5 picks instead of 6 — fewer picks, lower battle win rates.
