Team-Up analysis
Strengths, tradeoffs, and ideal situations for each option.
Deadpool (Strategist) is not simply choosing between two bonuses: Gumbo Chimichangas and Hell Yeah Honey push the kit toward different priorities. The better choice depends on map geometry, team composition, fight tempo, and whether the anchor partner already provides value on their own. The analysis below weighs both the base effect and Enhanced ceiling without treating a situational advantage as a universal answer.
OPTION 1
Gumbo Chimichangas
ANCHOR · Gambit
Gumbo Chimichangas, anchored by Gambit, gives Deadpool (Strategist) a very specific tactical route: Leaps forward to scatter a ring of kinetically charged chimichangas dealing damage to enemies and additionally providing a burst of healing to allies. As a Strategist, its real value depends as much on team utility and survival as on any extra damage. Its sustain component has value in extended fights, but loses impact when allies cannot survive the initial burst. Extra mobility changes positioning and escape routes, making the option strongest when used proactively rather than as a late panic button. In practice, this option is best when the composition can play around that condition and reproduce it reliably. Its weakness appears when the fight forces Deadpool (Strategist) to react outside that plan, because part of the value is tied to a particular window, position, or interaction. With the Enhanced effect active, the explosion radius from the landing chimichangas inflicts a direct crowd control stun effect to all caught enemies. That raises the option's ceiling, but it also means the composition with Gambit has to justify the team slot.
OPTION 2
Hell Yeah Honey
ANCHOR · Hela
Hell Yeah Honey, anchored by Hela, gives Deadpool (Strategist) a very specific tactical route: Allows weapons to level up one extra time. Level 3 Desert Eagles pierce and create homing death rattle bubbles that explode to heal allies. Level 3 Katanas inject undead energy for extra personal healing on detonation. As a Strategist, its real value depends as much on team utility and survival as on any extra damage. Its sustain component has value in extended fights, but loses impact when allies cannot survive the initial burst. Area pressure makes it especially useful around objectives, doorways, and clustered teams; spread-out fights reduce that advantage. In practice, this option is best when the composition can play around that condition and reproduce it reliably. Its weakness appears when the fight forces Deadpool (Strategist) to react outside that plan, because part of the value is tied to a particular window, position, or interaction. With the Enhanced effect active, if Hela is actively on your team, you can simultaneously upgrade BOTH the Desert Eagles and the Katanas instead of choosing just one weapon upgrade. That raises the option's ceiling, but it also means the composition with Hela has to justify the team slot.
