Thanos Infinite Power (purple)

Marvel Puzzle Quest MPQ General Discussion
1

I have the 5* Thanos and if I put out his purple and try to use a power that puts out tiles or countdowns it will just do nothing. The AI however will just hold on to there powers until the countdown is gone. Normally for abilities like this the AI just uses powers as they get them so you can use some strategy to use powers to mitigate this.

This only seems to happen with countdown tiles though. Is the AI programmed to avoid using powers if Thanos has his purple out? I want to make sure this is intended then I will just use it to stop enemies from putting out a countdown tile.

Certain power aren’t allowed to fire (SS Black for example) and I suppose AI CD powers fall under that category. If a power has a damage component and a tile component the AI will still fire for damage and miss out on the tiles (Patch fired his green several times last event to do damage without creating tiles.)

You will find if you try to fire certain powers when Infinite Power is out and Thanos is not stunned that many powers will not fire.

The AI is not holding back. They cannot fire it, and so will wait it out, or fire if Thanos gets stunned.

Other powers will fire, but have no effect or just the non-board effect will happen.

For example, Sentry’s Sacrifice is a pretty bad deal when Infinite Power is out. (actually I haven’t tested that. seems hilarious though)

This works against Ultron.

Thought you’d like to know. When 5* Thanos purple cd is out, Ultron cannot destroy the bottom row. Gives you a few free turns.

Running IM40 + iceman against thano5 purple is my own little pleasure. When IMs recharge goes off i usually have around 18 blue. Normally that means stun-punch-stun. But! If I have already stunned anyone and thanos brings out his purple then it’s just punch punch punch from there icon_e_smile.gif

Thanks for replies all. And for the Ultron Tip I will be using Thanos for ultron now

I noticed this as well, however shouldn’t Ultron not be able to make bombs either? Isn’t that a change to the board?

Seems to me that he shouldn’t be able to make bombs, but he did. They just piled up at the top of the board.

Here’s a post I started about what powers can fire during the Infinite Power CD being on the board, and which powers have to wait:

I haven’t updated it for Ultron, or for the last couple of weeks of character releases.
