Hi fire, i can only speak about the crews i have played with and against, with just the totem they are really balanced, i am talking about... Zoraida, Pandora, Lady justice, Marcus and Rasputina, the only box that i have that would recommend a extra blister besides the totem is Ramos (buy extra spyders) hope this help, oh and also, do not worry to match exactly the number of SS of 2 crews, if you are playing a 30SS game and a crew have 24ss and the other 29ss there is no advantage in low difference, sometimes is better to have bigger ss pool than another mini.
