What hero perks are completely redundant like ED-EE’s

So the Sci-Fi llamas are available in the shop and I see I can get ED-EE. But other than looking cool he has no value like AT ALL.

His Perk

Critical hits with MELEE WEAPONS ENERGY DAMAGE adds 22%/66% of CURRENT shield to damage

So if your going into melee combat you have 1 shot to use his perk and if you DON'T CRIT you can't use his perk until his shields recharge.

I don't know about you but for the majority of every game even without entering into melee range my shields are either low or depleted. like I'm being pelted by the Storm, Blasters, Zappers, Pitchers, Lobbers, Takers, Sploders, Hive husks trails and that not including the veritable pack of animal chasing me down all while ignoring the melee husks.

His Perk is pointless it's not even usable in niche cases since he was nerfed from 96% to 66% as the main hero
