Lots of abilities use that same wording, I wouldn't read into it. Patch says "creates", Punisher says "converts", and Spider-Man even says "adds a new tile" even though they all behave exactly the same way, by converting a basic tile to a different type of tile.

Probably */*/5. 5 in black looks pretty good ,6 blk ap makes it supremely spamable not to mention "bleed" tile. Her Black seems ridiculously well costed. Consider: At level 15, her strong match strengths are black 8, blue 10, red 11. She will deal 48 damage making matching 3 black twice to get the AP needed for this skill. At Rank 1 it deals 59 damage, so not too different from the match damage. At Rank 2 it jumps to 94. That's huge, it's behaving more like a Red power than a Black power. Similarly, her Red acts more like a Green - it's a "combo" attack rather than a "finisher". It's also ridiculously well costed. Consider: At 8 AP it's equal in cost to Punisher's Green and both generate a strength 12 Strike tile. Psylocke will deal consistent damage, whereas Punisher is variable on his tile strength (and random firing location could mean you don't hit 9 tiles). At Rank 2 the difference between the two powers is Punisher's Strike tile becomes strength 14, Psylocke's becomes 19. (For further comparison, level 15 Patch's Green drops 2x strength 24 strike tiles for 9 AP with the drawback of 2x strike tiles for your enemy). I am very interested to see what additional ranks do for both of these powers. Right now I think I would agree that 5 in Black is a given - Pyslocke is likely to be the only person on your team using Black AP and it's cheap. I think Red's strength will be in spamming it at 5 AP rather than using it for Strike tiles; it's actually got good synergy with Punisher's Green (after I've spent this time contrasting them) - at rank 5 he he can create the 3 strike tiles needed to drive the cost down to minimum for 9 Green. If you rely on re-casting Red, it'll take 21 AP before you get a chance to cast your first 5 cost. I assume Blue will have some kind of "twist" for ranks 4 and 5. It's a big jump from 9 to 12 AP stolen between ranks 1 and 2. It would be tempting if she also stuns (maybe 1 target for 1 turn only).

Mawtful wrote: NorthernPolarity wrote: I think Psylockes red only takes into account RED strike tiles Ah, you are correct. That does mean you have to spam Red (which makes it even more like a Green power - devs, you really need to hire a designer).
