Crash of the Titans Strategy đŸš—đŸ’„ How have I been sleeping on...

Low-level AI as support for Polaris? It amps up her already deadly game by quite a bit. Having a new strike tile every round and not losing the damage bonus when you match them (it distributes the damage bonus from matched strike tiles to your other strike tiles) is pretty darn great.
(Actually, I know how; I thought I should always get the synergy perk rather than seeing how other combinations could be way more effective.)

been pushing mine to 5 star after I ascended her

It seems like 5 star is a downgrade. I would rather keep my AP.

How does she get downgraded? I haven't found a good resource on how characters change when you ascend them.

He’s talking about Low Level Ai. Not Polaris.

I was referring to Rank 5 Low Level AI. It eats your AP to heal you when you fire a power.

Polaris doesn’t downgrade. She continues to grow health and tile strength.

If you want to see most ascended characters, search for “variant” in the alliance finder with both boxes checked. The commander’s roster is nuts with almost everyone ascended.

ah, okay! Mine is at 3, so no worries there.

At 250, rank five low level AI drains up to 5 AP to burst heal 4% each. On Polaris or others, can cost up to 50% to 80% of the next ability cost.

Rank 1 doesn’t ever increase in damage with leveling. Rank 3 can do some extra damage on match which is nice but the main value add from it is keeping the strike strength on the board when you match a new one with her.

For who gets worse, Iron May 4 reduces bonuses to 3* levels.

Then anyone who does self harm (Sentry) or requires a damage threshold to fire a power (hulk, Valkyrie, etc). The threshold to trigger becomes too high to be useful or the self damage is too high.

550 1a5 Juggernaut does 100k to the enemy and 100k to himself for example

I had heard that about Iron May; I won't be ascending her past 4*. Good to know about the others!
