There is a big disagreement on how good knockback is. Some say its awful, some say its a lifesaver.

Of course, both sides have good arguments.

Some say it’s bad because of backlines. For example, if you knock back the Shy Boys in Red Alert, you’ll enter the Nyandam’s range and everything dies. Also, hitbox glitching becomes a problem when an enemy gets pinned to their base by knockbacks. And finally, you risk your units missing attacks.

However, knockback is a lifesaver sometimes. A few levels have a Bore or Bun Bun that spawn right away, and you need something cheap to keep them off your base - like knockback units. Knockback can also interrupt attacks of units like Nyandam or Junfish. Its good for cheesing too, for example, its basically the only way to beat Last Gang. Its also the main driving force for Cyclone stages.

So, considering all this, how good in general do you think knockback is? Is it worth having White Rabbit’s TF on my team for COTC, or should I use her first form instead? I want to know your thoughts about this.
