Red generates AP; purple generates blue, obviously, and causes potential cascades. While blue can cause cascades as well, it's usually not worth the AP, since blue doesn't generate AP from tiles destroyed and it's expensive/random chance.

I had mine at 4/5/4 for a while (and actually had five blue covers until the fifth purple showed up) and the only time I used Iron Hammer was when no one else could use the blue. Three or four turn countdown timers aren't a huge issue but they do need to be looked after, which often means giving up on potentially helpful matches. While it's incredibly cool watching the entire board disappear (and doing about 1300 damage on average) the payoff isn't worth the hassle.

This arguably strengthens the case for a 2-5-5 build (and only leveling him to 75 instead of 77) depending on how you intend to use him.
