Ability | Fandom

Can anyone tell me statistically whether there is any advantage to having a SELF ability over a TEAM ability.

When I checked out the table here it appears there is a 40% Upgrade for a "Significant" ability for SELF.

Compared to a 12% Upgrade for a "Significant" ability for TEAM.

Is this 12% applied to each card within the TEAM individually? Is it 12% of the source cards ability applied to each TEAM card? Or is it 12% of the total TEAM? I'm thinking it's the last option I stated, but I thought someone here would know for certain right off the bat.

I'm guessing the type of deck I would have would depend on whether the SELF or TEAM ability was more valuable. And the numbers would have to be calculated from that point on, to see which would be better for the particular deck.

Can someone please confirm? Thanks for any info!

The Team Boost is to all cards in your team, so total all 5 up, multiply by 1.12 to get the new total.

The Self is exactly what you said, 40% of that cards' stat + all 5 cards total.

Whichever is higher, go with that!

So unless my deck is not very good. It almost would always behoove me to use the TEAM abilities as opposed to the SELF abilities. My deck of all UR+ cards ends up being a 3,000 point difference from TEAM to SELF. I can't imagine SSR+ would be all that different. Doesn't appear there would be many cases that it would make sense to use a SELF ability over a TEAM ability (of a card of the same rarity)...IF the option is available.

That sound about right?

It does. Typically, it runs from worst to best:

Self > Team > Alignment (Bruiser/Tactic/Speed) > Faction (Hero/Villain)

Obviously, an Alignment boost isn't as good as a Team boost if you're not all one Alignment, and a Faction Boost isn't as good as an Alignment boost if you're not all one Faction

The % increase is applied to the values at the time it goes off, not just the base stats. The increases go

Adapter -> Scrapper -> Attack Abilities 1, 2, 3 -> Def Abilites 1, 2, 3 -> (Atk Support Ability -> def support ability) -> Special Combo
