I seed the level 8s with one cube, because the most efficient points are one cube + a snipe for MVP. The second most efficient points are one-cube without MVP, and those are by far the majority of the situations I run into. 2 cubes for MVP is worse points per cube than one cube for the bosses points value, so despite the damage per cube benefit from opening with 2 cubes, I don't think it's worth it overall.

On the other hand, I also never let a boss out of my queue alive. It takes me 1+3+2 cubes to solo a bumblebee 8 - net 5 cubes for 100k points is still 20k/cube, it's reasonable, if less than I'd prefer. So, yeah, I'll spend a bunch of cubes if a boss isn't dying with a couple of minutes left on the timer. But I'd rather let other people help.
