I'm saying that Ambush is of limited utility in this event (it's even worse since I'm also running Blade). I use it when there's a pretty good chance that I can immediately match it, but usually that's a one-shot at best since the respawn will be somewhere unreachable, and that's when the goons overwrite it. I would imagine it's incredibly powerful in PvP, but not when my goal is to stun Gorgon every time he appears.

As you can see I have a bunch of Trap tiles that I can't match for damage but I have Cyclops' Yellow ready to go and you can believe me that many traps will explode and will kill the entire wave.

Those fire off on each character or obliterate one? Also, the #of traps would lead me to believe this isn't a node with goons writing on red.
