Multiman4 ascended to 5
Due to my recently witnessed lack of love and understanding for ascended Multiman, I have wasted too much time making this for you.

I believe him to be Top Tier (PVP offense), not because he is the fastest (though he can definitely win fast), but because he refuses to lose (regardless of who he fights) and is crazy versatile (he can carry a lot of characters).

I will try to showcase this below. I hope you get some value, or at least entertainment out of it.

(Multi)Laymans Terms

Black (5):

Passive: Get hit, create dupe tiles. Dupes overwrite enemy SAPs plus increase his match damage and defense. 48 or more dupes = Conditional Win.

Yellow (3):

Active: Select a color, drain your AP in that color and make dupes on it.
Passive: Each color dupe does a different thing, but you only care about:

• Blue = protect tiles
• Green = strike tiles
• Black = countdowns that damage the entire enemy team, and YOU

Green (5):

Active: Drain your green AP to destroy dupes at 2 AP per dupe. This heals you and gives some of the AP back.

Conditional Win

Example: https://youtube.com/shorts/I4Odq1-LYJY?si=mDm_HJ9gJT7lqN5w
Overview:

• Probably his main use-case currently (as you know). Start with as much AP as possible, spam his yellow on every color until you win (requires good generators).

Teammates: Coulson4-5, Rir5, Kang5, Hawkeye5, Chasm5
Supports: Krakoa, any starting AP, Refreshment Cart, Cuckoos

Hard Counter Starting AP / Permanent AP Steal / Rainbow Spam

Example: https://youtube.com/shorts/Wl5_IMbJ73A (pulled from my PVP guide)
Overview:

• Able to cast an active ability for any color at 2AP, MM is the most ability spam character in the game. Due to this, when he is equipped with the Cuckoos support, as long as you start the match with 2 AP in any color, you can drain their AP whenever you'd like. The enemy team can basically NEVER cast an active ability (as long as MM is alive).
• There are also plenty of characters who trigger their abilities based off teammates casting active abilities, this can be very useful and make for fun teams.

Teammates: Any mutant is guaranteed to start you with AP thanks to Krakoa support, Coulson4-5, Riri5, Magic4, Beast4-5, DareDevil4
Supports: Stepford Cuckoos, Krakoa, any starting AP, Refreshment Cart

SAP Specialist AND! Anti-Special Tile Specialist

Example: https://youtube.com/shorts/Tn_zQjfT_1w?si=xdpR1Ze6TjWMZRaE
Overview:

• MM creates his own SAPs everytime he creates a dupe on Blue, Green or Red (he creates A LOT of dupes). Your teammates also see these tils and can buff them (when they are buffed they get converted to proper SAP tiles).
• Characters like Beast4 and Blob4 also still count them towards their passives.
• A regular match 3 can't destroy them, it must be a match 4 or higher, making them more resilient. Converting them will expose them, and they dupe version can still be destroyed (Mthor, Juggy1 etc.).
• Per his Yella, every time Polaris, JuggerSam etc. hit you, you overwrite SAPs they create. Every time dupes are created by you, they also have a chance to overwrite ANY special tile on the board. This is big for shutting down any spam, charge tiles included. Note you also overwrite your own tiles, so pay attention!

Teammates: Blob4, Beast4, Betsy4, Magic4, HoneyBadger3, Spidermay5, Nico4, Kity5, Hotpool5… anyone who likes SAPs.
Supports: Cuckoos (always?), Lucky, Low Level AI, Krakoa, Refreshment Cart, starting AP for blue or green

Tank / Healer

Example: https://youtube.com/shorts/FDZmEfc0xf0?si=2bjSfBoU0COlYiVO
Overview:

• MM gets tankier with every dupe, blue dupes are protect tiles and he is a high tier self-healer.
• On top of all of that, dupe tiles don't count when they are part of a match 3, so enemy match damage is regularly reduced. AAAAND your dupes slow their AP gain (or you steal it), reducing any active ability risk.

Teammates: Blob4, Beast4, Agatha5, Agatha3, Magic4, anyone with Green as their strongest color wearing RefreshCart (big time green battery for healing)
Supports: Cuckoos, Refreshment Cart, Lucky, any healing buffs
