You would think right? Or just making them less powerful. But no, people always go for the sideways attempts to balance them. Make them mad, make GoR more expensive, make the equipment they use more expensive, make death boosters more expensive.

I think people inherently enjoy tarts being stupidly cost effective. Even as troops they're a bargain.
Because Tarts are the way to ultimate magic diversity, having the chance to have lots of tarts is cool. It makes the endgame include the puzzle of "I have x random magic paths, what can I do with this?" Also, there are already rare, powerful SCs--the existence of common SCs with other drawbacks is a fairly cool thing.

Perhaps there could be more types of Tart to rebalance them and make them more closely resemble what a cast of defeated gods would be. Take most of the magic paths away from the Titan and Titaness, and have the tart chassis that gets 3-2-2 randoms be a Great Sage. Ultimate magic diversity, totally not a SC.
