Most useless AI teamup

This just happened to me.
The AI used Electras Double double cross with no strike tiles on the board. Giving me three strike tiles. Anyone think of a more useless Teamup for the AI to have?

    I've been relieved when I see the AI has enough to ruin me after their last cascade but they start their turn off with Invisible Woman's a Force Field Crush, ending their turn... sometimes with a nice 5 match available on the board for good measure.

    Thunderstrike/deceptive tactics when enemy team has no active green abilities. Polarity shift when enemy team has no active blue abilities

    Love seeing force field crush as their team-up: free turn for me!

    Haven't seen a strategic command for awhile, does AI still have that one? Sure it can make matches and shift the board I suppose - but it's using their TU ap and only TU ability to make more TU tiles.

    Electra's double criss-cross annoyed me a couple times during Doom PVP: I wanted my traps, and it over-wrote them into strike tiles.

    LOL, OMG, yes! Can't tell you how many times I've seen the AI snarky remark allied goon count down tiles. I love snarky remark icon_e_biggrin.gif.

    Any of bag mans. I'm always really happy when I see his powers pop up from a team up window, because it means the AI just wasted several turns building up a useless power.

    Especially if your Daken is a bit low on health, but that enemy Polarity Shift is sprucing him up fine :3

    I enjoy when the AI uses an under-leveled Onslaught TU. One of two things happens--

    1. The enemy hits me for less than 100 damage because they only had one or two green AP.
    2. The enemy hits me for a few hundred damage but in the process gives me lots of free green AP which I use to hit back 10x harder.

    Now that the AI is limited to only 1 Team-Up, I'm always amused when the AI uses TU AP to cast Mistress of the Elements so that it can generate some more Team-Up AP. Sure it does damage so it's not completely useless, but it's still funny.

    Snarky Remark can also be a pain. When LCap was my only 166 the AI always seemed to pull out a Snarky Remark and keep me from getting my AP back.

    I guess I'm the only one that things pretty much all the enemy Team-Ups are useless? Barring the obviously OP powers, like Call of the Storm, Rage of the Panther, et al.

    They've been much worse for me lately in PVP. I had one match with 270/270 XF/GT where they also decided to throw in a Demolition TU for good measure. I've also been getting hit with more AOE abilities, particularly Wind Storm. I still pull out the win, but it does leave me in worse shape.

    Not just OP powers. The moderately useful ones are still moderately useful. Godlike Power and Symbiote Snare are two fairly annoying ones to come out of nowhere.

    Yeah, that's true. Those stuns are pretty aggravating (Black Widow, Venom, Storm, specifically come to mind). Any AoE is usually a pain (Wind Storm, Call of the Storm, Rage of the Panther, etc). Outside of those though, it's usually stupid and pointless. It's not like the good ole days of World Rupture, Supernova, etc icon_lol.gif
