    Breaker costs 11.

    At 3 covers: Destroys a random column and 4 random tiles

    At 4 covers: Destroys a random column and 10 random tiles

    At 5 covers: Destroys a CHOSEN column and 10 random tiles.

    I've tried many times to create a crazy board shake team built around his blue. It's fun when it works, but obviously not as reliable as the meta uses.

    The blue is a thing?

    Yes but it only works when he blues himself

    I always enjoy references to the world's first Analyst/Therapist....(If you know, you know).

    Crazy board shake only occurs when the AI uses it, or any similar powers/ characters for that matter...

    I use my ascended juggernaut (5* power stone) with ascended rocket (pizza dog support) and ascended Polaris (low level ai) for easy mode clearing all of SC10 PVE. He is one of the most ascendable characters if you’re on the fence about it.

    If you had to ascend one single 4 and couldn’t ascend any other one, Juggs would be the one. Especially now with Sam but even without him you can blast through most pve pick 3 content using 3-4 may, Jugg and 3 Namor faster than most other teams most weeks.

    3a5 Nova (Richard Rider) lv450

    RED: 6 AP
    3 covers: 9795 damage. If Worldmind tile exists, 6053 enemy team damage & create 2 x 267 Attack tiles
    4 covers: 10680 damage. If Worldmind tile exists, 6766 enemy team damage & create 2 x 445 Attack tiles
    5 covers: 14242 damage. If Worldmind tile exists, 8902 enemy team damage & create 2 x 490 Attack tiles

    YELLOW: 5 AP
    3 covers: Create 3 x 401 Protect tiles. If Worldmind tile exists, increase Protect tiles by 20% & heal team for 5698
    4 covers: Create 3 x 446 Protect tiles. If Worldmind tile exists, increase Protect tiles by 25% & heal team for 6052
    5 covers: Create 4 x 490 Protect tiles. If Worldmind tile exists, increase Protect tiles by 40% & heal team for 6411

    BLACK: 4 AP
    3 covers: 3-turn Worldmind tile that increases Nova's damage by 60%. When tile expires or is destroyed, Nova gains a burst of 3560 health
    4 covers: 4-turn Worldmind tile that increases Nova's damage by 70%. When tile expires or is destroyed, Nova gains a burst of 3918 health
    5 covers: 4-turn Worldmind tile that increases Nova's damage by 90%. When tile expires or is destroyed, Nova gains a burst of 4274 health

    Same as the base 3* : you need 4 Black AP in addition to Red and Yellow to get the most out of him. If his Worldmind tile generated Black AP upon expiry or destruction he'd be much better; as it is, 5* Nova is overall still better as he can proc his Nova Corps countdowns passively, has useful passives, and has much more synergy with the usual Countdown people like Hawkeye, Coulson, Kang, Hobgoblin

    I 550d 4* Carol and found a really fun team. I'm not sure it'll work for anyone else, but it's worth putting out there! I used this all the way through on Shield Sim last season.

    It's Carol/Coulson/5* Riri. You need to put either Battleworld Map or Low Level AI on Carol, Refreshment Cart on Coulson, and Atlantis/Yaro Root on Riri. Cast Riri stun on your first turn and watch your strike tile get buffed to insanity, while you build AP for another stun! You can use Carol's yellow to get rid of the Riri cool down CD, and generate even more CD tiles, for more buffs.

    I was able to beat everything I saw unless they cascaded me before I got a turn. I also got a few wipes!

    That's brutal. I love it!

    I am looking for whom to ascend next. I have all the obvious ones ascended. Does anyone have a player's roster they use as a resource? Please PM me the alliance and name if you can, thanks.

    One of the last ones I was waiting to see. He's of my favorite 3's and a monster with damage buffers like HoneyB:

    I didn't use him when he was boosted. I tried. My understanding is that others had more success than I did.

    He's pretty good but I don't know if he's good enough to use unboosted. It really depends what the rest of your roster looks like/what you're fighting.

    5* match damage would get him through crashes with ease ... when he's in them once every 5yrs or whatever it is. Even a 370 flails pretty badly vs Parker.

    Mine is near max 4*, so got his **** handed to him once a while in crash...

    It’s over now for at least 179 weeks or whatever the cycle ends up being, but the answer to lousy crashes because your character has poor offense is usually TM sword or Stormbreaker.

    And those +% damage match boosts.

    Morbius' Crash seemed difficult until I redistributed covers to 3/5/5 and he was healing faster than Peter Parker could do damage. Cakewalk from there.

    My Morbius is at 284, for reference.

    Right, so maybe I'm answering the wrong question. If someone asks "should I ascend x guy ever?" then the answer is yes like 99% of the time -- there are exceptions but most of us probably know all of them by now.

    I tend to assume people aren't asking that anymore because most of us know the exceptions, so I tend to assume they're asking "should I prioritize x guy to ascend them over others?" That question is a little harder to answer because it depends who the others are, and what they've already got on their roster.
