This is at least not requiring Psi to get to Level 14, which they conveniently get AFTER the ZOMG duo is finished, but GOD does Psi have trouble with blimps, which are the biggest threat of the early 80s to begin with. Seriously, how do you have problems with Round 80. Just....oh right, Psi can barely use Psychic Blast to effectiveness on that Round, barely edging out victory, but meanwhile....I'm sorry, but what are Ceramics? You mean those spaced jokes in Round 83 that were competing with the MOAB flood to be Round 83's threat?

Bomber path SLIGHTLY helps Psi compared to Spectre. Psi already hits Camos, but Spectre doesn't even go for the blimps reliably and costs more than Ground Zero. The whole mess is still an exercise in inane balancing where I guess because Psi just wrecks Round 100's BAD that they can't even attack directly, they have to be unable to do anything worthwhile to MOABs until after ZOMGs are coming out. Less inexpensive PMFC is the only reason this is possible, but even then, the ZOMGs were a nightmare and it's not like the BFB floods of Rounds 82 and 84 were easy either.

The most glaring issue by and far is how useless Psionic Scream is during these key Rounds. At any given moment, there are only a few Ceramics at a time, so the blasted thing may as well just sit there looking pretty. The only other Hero whose second activation doesn't help here either is Striker Jones, who is FAR more capable of damaging blimps with his passive attack and has Concussive Shell for...get this....slowdown, the concept that Psi is supposed to be good with. Just what is this?

Here's a buff suggestion to Psi with this in mind: for Psionic Scream to actually hit blimps other than the BAD, but with the ones that Psi can't hit yet to unconditionally take the knockback effect, at a reduced amount as well. This would give reason to use Psionic Scream to make sure that Psi would feel more complete, while not giving them a free buff and also being less relevant over Levels with Level 20 being unchanged. The degree of effectiveness could even be an idea for adding to Level 13 as well, just so it does more than allow for damaging Purples.

NinjaKiwi should fix Psi's balance. It's just comically bad.
