E-2 to E-3, dropping a critical tile into spot E-5

F,7 to F,8 will give you a good cascade and usage of all crit tiles

Purple e2 down to e3 makes extra move...can I plz get some rep points for this haha

C3 to D3 sets up a purple L match5 and extra move.
F7 to F8 for series of 3 cascades with crit tiles.

final yield 12 purple, 3 blue, 2 TU, 1 yellow, 1 green and 3 crits used.
but unfortunately sets up a match4 for AI

Surgical strike.

C5 to C4 to match the blues

This drops the crit and purple into a line match which then matches the triple black gems in H-row which then matches triple purple again in H-Row.

If another purple gem drops down H you might just trigger a second crit match to boot.

No AP, and it also probably hits

Of all the solutions, I prefer the C3-D3 move because it does create the purple critical and leaves it usable, opening up the best possibility of continuing the chain and if not, ensuring you have at least 9 purple AP to start the chain again next turn. (eg possibly F7-F8 afterwards)

While E2-E3 creates a critical, it's used up by the team-up tiles and there's only a 1/7 chance or so it becomes a column clear if a team-up drops in. More immediate damage, but not quite as good chances.

It's a joke.

Thanks for the negative, Simonsez. Really?

Didn't seem funny at all, and was hardly worth a +1

So skip it. It wasn't like I was being mean or rude or anything.
