Strategy
Boulder Bundle gives you 3 Pebbles, giving you quite a bit of flexibility for how to formulate a plan to block incoming shots. Its immediate problem is that it wants you to use all 3 Pebbles it gives you on the turn you play it - if you don't, you'll need to spend a draw on them before you play them again, so it's vastly preferable if you find a way to play them immediately. It does give you 1 Droneshift to help you with that, but you'll need additional help from either Evade or additional Droneshift to play all 3 Pebbles well, and meanwhile it doesn't tend to progress the fight very much.
Its A upgrade helps you with this problem by adding more Droneshift to its package, allowing you to fairly reliably set up the 3 Pebbles in the way you want to.
Its B upgrade actually takes away the Droneshift the original gave you, in exchange for giving the 3 Asteroids Bubble Shields, increasing their defensive utility. So if you have the Droneshift/Evade on your own this can cover you for more than 1 turn.
