Allow us to use normal colour AP for Team-Ups

Pylgrim

I like Team Ups. I really do, even acknowledging the MANY little issues in the execution that have been discussed in other threads. I think it's a neat idea that suffers from being tied to exclusive tiles. This is because their match damage is really low and honestly speaking, more often that not, the T-U's you have are inferior to the skills of your characters, so it is almost always a better proposition to make coloured matches. (There are only a handful of abilities strong enough to encourage anyone to purposefully collect T-U AP). In the end, you didn't accumulate enough T-U and then have to be told about missing your chance, and then you have to re-equip the T-Us the next game. Annoyance all over for very little satisfaction. I believe that T-U tiles rank nowadays pretty much on the relevance of the old environmental tiles at the lab. i.e. you are not going to go out of your way to match them, but you may get a nice bonus from time to time when you get enough for one reason or other. And that would be fine, if it wasn't because there's a whole new system that affects the game in many different ways (defence, for example) and that system exists to ultimately provide only the same satisfaction of old lab environmental tiles, which is not really remarkable to say the least.

I believe that T-Us would greatly benefit from allowing us to cast them using the corresponding colour (in addition to the possibility of casting them with T-U AP). That way, T-U's would be not something that you equip on the off-chance that you get enough T-U AP, but a way of complementing a strong match colour in your team that has only passive skills for it. Think, for example, how nice would be to fire off an Aggressive Reckon in a team whose only purple user is Spidey. A one-time A. Reckon is something that perhaps you wouldn't go out of your way to obtain if there are better powers/higher damage to deal in your turn, but a very welcome bonus when you are already matching purple.

Considering it'd let the AI use normal colour AP for Team-ups I'm against it. It would add too many colours to be simultaneously deny at once => Less strategic play.

Also, this should be in the suggestions forum.

Well, to be honest, I believe that the whole thing of giving free, random T-U's to the defending team is one of the biggest mistakes of the whole feature, so in a perfect scheme we would have what I suggest and not the defending T-U's.
