why?

in my opinion and generally speaking: eHB is a 4 major dot, vs. other returner archetypes (5 major dots) which gives higher ALGs, and has the generally desired majors (speed, agility, carrying, vision) as well as more applicable favored SAs. Stamina is not a major or a minor on an eHB. This is if you want to blow 300 flex on a KR/PR.

Not to say that other, cheaper dots cannot be successful. Seen a lot of good CB returners of the 200 flex variety...

not having cost as a factor.........wanting what major skills they have and more on those lines. I have made all of them at one point in time... I loved the CB but they are not the best choice (IM0)

so now I find myself debating the EHB VS the FB ....

why fb

200-cost vs 300, I assume. But anything an FB can do, an HB can do better, I would think. And CB returners are 200 and do great, so I'd be skeptical of an FB doing returns, regardless of Archeype.

Though KP said cost is not a factor, so... just go HB, not FB then. There's a reason FBs are cheaper: they don't perform as well.

FB:
powerthrough and cover up for SAs. ok sweet SA tree.
i assume youd use the rusher archtype. agility carrying conf strength as main...
blocking, speed, stam and vis as minors.

all of that is terrible

CB
agi, speed, carry, stam, vis.
conf jumping, strength.
better than the FB? yes.
return spec, first step, change direction. good SAs. for real this time, no sarcasm.

HB
agi, carry, speed, vis.
catch, stam, conf, str
the whole top SA tree is solid.

idk how anyone could make much of an argument against HB if flex isnt an issue. 4 mains vs 5 for CB with an entire SA tree that is useful and can just make the additional SA return spec.

i hate myself for even wasting my time typing that out when youre just going to use a FB anyway.
