OTOH the color coverage is better and has better one-shot and/or one-turn damage potential.

Red--Drop to 10AP get rid of AP drain Blue--Drop to 12-14AP get rid of AP drain Yellow--a little more work Recharge - 9 AP Recharges weapon systems. Creates 3 Countdown tiles that activate after 2 turns, restoring 3 Red AP each. Iron Man is then stunned for 2 turns as systems reinitialize. Level 2: Each Countdown tile also restores 3 Blue AP Level 3: Each Countdown tile also restores 2 Green AP Level 4: Each Countdown tile also restores 2 Purple AP Level 5: Each Countdown tile also restores 2 Black AP. Iron Man is stunned for 1 turn The key of yellow, is in order to truly give it a back lash is to have level 4 red and blue covers suck, so if you do go all in yellow, you will have a price to pay in that blue or red will suck for you at 3 covers.

So I'll simply respec my champed version as desired and go ahead and sell my duplicate once the sell price increase happens (I don't think I've spent enough to get the special break down a character deal).
