In this comp I say 5/4/4 IM40 is better, but is giving up stunning current target 2 turns worth increasing yellow cost and allowing a good combo with BWGS? That I don't know. What's the community's thought on 5/5/3 vs 5/4/4????

There's plenty of characters that need/use Red/Blue/Green .. but very few that have a powerful purple that needs fed. Even though 10 & 12 AP is ostensibly about the same in this game, you can still feasibly get 10 AP in three matches (4+3+3). His blue stun comes in handy when you are running with a mega-buffed IM40 and you are trying to wipe out the team with his blue power and you need to stun the opponent with the highest HP. But it's a pretty infrequent scenario.

The only reason to go im40 is if he is buffed in a pve event (which is probably going to happen given how theyre handing out his covers like candy). Dont expect him to be used besides that i think. I would just pump the iso into your patch.

Cheaper yellow cost, blue can stun 5/4/4. Yellow cost 2AP more, but you get purple which is nice, no blue stun, but probably overkill if you ever get 20 blue AP. I guess, is going from 10AP to 12AP worth it to get purple at the cost of not stunning on blue?

I guess, is going from 10AP to 12AP worth it to get purple at the cost of not stunning on blue? I'm in the same exact spot. I guess I have 6 days to decide but I'm still not sure as of right now. I agree with the above recent discussion that it is difficult to decide whether or not the purple is worth the 2ap tradeoff. Right now, I'm leaning toward no, but perhaps in the long run (as more characters with varied colors are released), having a purple generator will be more valuable. So maybe I just talked myself into 4 yellow. Either way I'm not leveling him beyond the 53 he is right now. Do we know for sure that there isn't a stealth damage increase for IM40's blue when going from 4 to 5 covers?

Have they ever mentioned anything about buffing him? His red ability does nowhere near enough damage to cost what it does. You lose 2 AP in other colors to fire off a somewhat weak single target nuke. Ballistic Salvo seems like it needs to either cost less or do more for the cost. It's really expensive to do a mediocre aoe, blow up a few tiles and suck down your AP in other colors. To have both of those cost so much of your AP it seems like they need make recharge cost less and give you more AP back or those 2 abilities need a serious buff.
