( w Okoye / Apoc) Was it your Polaris? Or could you have done more or less the same with 2099 or gamora or another good third wheel paired with the two best damager boosters in the game?Polaris is particularly strong against tile spammers like carnage and BRB, but mostly she is good because she has a combo of frequent passive damage ticks and a good stun. But 2099 has that exact same combo. I’ve used both and a 9/13 Polaris was much faster . I think it was about 10 turns doing 400K damage

HoundofShadow said: That looks like a bug to me because Kitty's repeater replaces tiles, instead of destroying or matching them. If not, opponent BRB or your BRB will be getting free blue and green ap every time Kitty does this.
JSP869 said: Did the Devs identify Polaris' order of priority for tile creation when special tiles are matched/destroyed?Because I've noticed she appears to generate Protect tiles first before Strikes and Attacks. This is great when you're running her with BRB for the AP generation, but if you're matching away your Strikes and/or Attacks, and if a Protect tile is part of the match, the new tiles are more likely to become Protects tiles*, which can greatly hamper your damage output.* edit I am aware that Polaris creates tiles the same as those which were matched/destroyed. I am specifically concerned about the situation where the board is full, literally, of special tiles, and you're forced to match away your Strike and/or Attack tiles. IF your move included a Protect tile (or two), the new tiles that drop in will become Protect tiles, first, and will only be converted to Attack or Strike tiles IF there are still basic tiles left after the Protect tiles are generated.

I feel like BRB is the better partner (over Kitty) as the objective is destroying the spammed protects, while destroying buffed tiles seems counter-productive.
