3* Iron May ascended to 5* worth it??

Jash735

If I ascend 3* Iron May to a 5*, is she worth it or does she lose that nice bonus damage she receives when ascended to 4*?

Phumade

While your welcome to do your own research on if its worth it, the general consensus is

NO! Don't ascend 3* May to 5*.

you loose a lot more punch on the powers for a meaningless amount of health (consider that the avg asc May match last 1-3 turns)

Thanks, that’s what I figured.

Most leave her parked at 370 after ascending to 4* because her passive yellow power gets worse when ascended to 5* land.

There is a defensive world where you might want to have her ascended, however, I would agree with leaving her at 4star since all of her value is based off of her overpowered yella. I believe the drop is from 150% match damage to 70%, 200% ability to 75% and 25% max health to 12% (the half health boost is also reduced).

Your best bet is likely to ascend her when you have a backup 3 or 4star version, you can have both the 4 and 5 star. In the meantime, focus on a 3star that makes more sense to ascend, Namor etc.

WhiteBomber

Have you seen what happens with a 4star May, 3star Namor and Ascended MBaku? It is absolutely disgusting. You can get your 50 Sim wins in like 10 mins and no health packs using two 3 or 4 stars.

I only need about 20 shards and I can ascend her to 4* and I’ll let her level to 370 naturally and just leave her there.

I will ascend her!

Because I will never use a 4* for anything (non essential, anyway) and I want all the characters at 550.

In general if you're asking "should I ascend X," the answer is "no," though. The fact that you're asking the question at all basically answers it for you.

That’s just dumb and completely wrong! Had I not asked the question I would not have known whether or not she loses her bonus damage that she gains upon ascending her to a 4*, which was the whole point of the question.

Had she retained the bonus damage, then the answer would’ve been YES instead of no.

Okay, but imagine if the answer was yes.

Now, no.

Now, yes, again.

I just thought that might be fun for a while.

I'm settling on a strong maybe.

I have no strong feelings one way or another

Uh, sorry! I didn't see that you were unaware of the change (I thought that was common knowledge at this point!).

I thought you knew she changed and were asking if you should ascend her despite that.
