Can we please get clarification about how the new Polarity Shift will work? Here is my specific concern. What if the board does not provide the opportunity to create a match-3 by placing three tiles, but can allow you to set up a match-5 by moving one of the tiles you place. Will the reds that get generated replace any of the existing blues? For example:

enemystrike.pngbluetile.pngbluetile.pngtutile.pngbluetile.pngbluetile.pngprotect.png

since you only get three blues with the new PS. I would put a blue above or below the TU tile so that I could use my turn to create the match-5. With the new capability is that a safe move or would I end up wasting the placements?

A similar scenario to this would be having to use your turn after placement in order to create a match-4 that allows you to eliminate an enemy CD tile. I know PS is used primarily for AP generation, but I have often used it to remove pesky tiles that are otherwise impossible to get.

Further, will the reds that are spawned replace only standard tiles?

Thanks
