I am so sorry guys, for some reason I could not access the forums until now. I really apologize. But I am back (well.. I was never gone...)
For my matchup, any solid immo rush could out do the Bbloods before I get enough for a good couple of SS's.
I just tested this, and sadly true.
The shield is left unprotected from deflags too.
And any sanctuary+deflag combo can mess up the damage. The candle deck fire uses has deflags and can also sacrifice a bolt to remove any arsenic (flying or not). Decking you out, or gaining enough time to fire the bolts.
