What Does the Clamp Breaker Badge Do?

Before we dive into the testing, let's first discuss what the Clamp Breaker badge does. It's a counter badge to the clamps badge, which adds an extra level of defense to your team. Essentially, the badge helps you break through the defense of the opposing team's ball handler, making it easier for you to steal the ball or force a turnover.

 

Testing the Effectiveness of the Badge

To test the effectiveness of the Clamp Breaker badge, a sequence of repetitions was done to see how the level of the badge affected the defense. The results showed that the badge only starts to make a difference at the gold level. There was a small boost when the badge was taken to the hall of fame level as well.

The main takeaway from this test is that if you're only putting the badge at the bronze or silver level, it's not worth it, as the boost is minimal. The badge is only worth it if you're pushing it to the gold level or higher.

 

Recommendation

Based on the test results, our recommendation is that if you're going to invest in the Clamp Breaker badge, you should push it to the gold level or higher. Doing so will give you a noticeable boost in defense and make it easier for you to steal the ball or force turnovers. However, if you're only planning on putting the badge at the bronze or silver level, it's not worth it, as the boost is minimal.

 

Conclusion:

The Clamp Breaker badge is a valuable defensive asset if used correctly. By pushing it to the gold level or higher, you can effectively defend against ball handlers and make it easier to steal the ball or force turnovers. However, if you're only putting the badge at the bronze or silver level, it's not worth it, as the boost is minimal.
