Ever find yourself mentally searching for a good character that could convert AP from color X to Y so you can fuel another character's nuke power?

This spreadsheet should help:

    Feedback & corrections are welcome. Once the data seems complete, I'll convert it to table form here.

    Thanks to AstroCAR, aesthetocyst and others from the Discord channel for helping to gather & organize this data.

      Heh, yeah that's a net negative (like Steve's yellow) so figured I'd leave it out. B^)

      Yeah, that's an interesting case, as you get green and they lose it.

      I classified it as "gains" vs "steals" since he'll get green AP even if the enemy didn't have any? *shrug*

      Starlord? Gains random 2 ap from his yellow passive countdowns.

      Good point. In the spreadsheet I've added Star Lord and also Loki.

      Mordo for steal. Possibly black AP generation.

      4 cyke is more complicated than uses red for yellow. He can be used as a battery for other colours if someone else is boosted or with a five star.

      Thanks! Spreadsheet updated for both of those.

      2* Mags definitely collects AP when Magnetic Flux goes off. "Reportedly" is pretty conservative language considering it does happen icon_e_wink.gif

      Oh, and Quicksilver, Mr Fantastic, (and Coulson, who is missing anyways) can all collect AP using their swap powers. I'd say it's at least as reliable as the random AP gains since you're more in control of which color(s) you get, although you won't always be able to make the match you want. Also Bag Man, for whatever that's worth.

      Only at 5 red. It's the main reason that 3/5/5 his best build.

      3 and 4 should do it as well, although admittedly much less. I don't actually use him with anything other than 5 Red so I guess I haven't personally tested the other ranks.

      Update: For science! I tested this just now at rank 4, and I have confirmed that rank 4 does indeed also generate AP, although not nearly as much since it only destroys (at most) 9 tiles. Interestingly you do seem to get the 1 Red AP for the CD tile itself (mine was on an edge, destroyed 5 tiles plus the CD, no cascades, and generated 6 AP; 1 Red, 1 Blue, 1 Purple, 2 Black, and 1 TU).

      Updated spreasheet with Coulson, QS & MrF.

      I mainly used "reportedly" because that power's description (like icon_squirrelgirl.pnggreenflag.png ) fails to specify whether destroyed tiles are collected. Hopefully those descriptions will get clarified at some point. icon_mrgreen.gif
