Meet Ambrozia, a Controller!

Sadly, we have another half written post. Ambrozia was a Plant & Rad Controller. Normally, I would shy away from Controllers, but the Rad Emissions secondary was what kept me playing her. I enjoyed it so much with my Corruptor, Thermonuclea, that I went ahead and created Ambrozia after TNuke had leveled up to 50.

In a similar vein to Theophelia (my Grav/Kin), I was only able to keep playing Ambrozia, because I liked the secondary powers so much.

In retrospect (though I had already known it at the time), Controllers do not really fit my play-style. It's generally too slow for me. Certain secondary sets are what saves it for me.

At any rate, I was able to level Ambrozia up to a surprising 35 (based on her CIT profile) before the sunset. At least the plant set had more damage than the Gravity set, so Ambrozia was solo-able sometimes (without wanting to gouge my eyes out due to the usual slow solo-Controller pace). I do recall playing with her in teams quite a bit. Radiation Emissions is just so darn useful.

As for her backstory... I don't remember. I'm not sure if she even had one. Her CIT profile has her with a Science background, so something with that? It's more like the Plant Control was a new set, there were some costume pieces I wanted to try out, and Radiation Emissions was fun and green, so why not? Sometimes characters don't really need a concept to be born.



Much like in Annzebub's post, it looked like I was supposed to post her intended build, which was not uploaded when I started the draft.

However, I just went ahead and built one for tickles and giggles (always fun to fire up Mid's, even though I can't even test it out after building it). Had Ambrozia reached level 50, she would have been shelved and taken out sparsely when needed. With that in mind, her build would have been on the functional, but cheaper side. There are like two purple IOs.. but it's for Confusion, in which I would have operated under the assumption that Confusion purples most likely would be cheap since it is not as widely demanded.

Not bad for cheap IOs.

If given the chance, would I roll her as she is again? Probably. She would be low on my priority list, however. Basically, my mains are Tanks and sometimes Brutes that I would have multiple alts that I would switch around based on the level needed. Solo projects would be MMs or Scrappers which I would alternate between a high level solo alt and low level solo alt, just to have a little variety in playstyle when soloing. Team projects would be either Defenders, Corruptors, Controllers, or Blasters which I may have 2-3 that I would play, depending on the needs of the team. Dominators, WS, PB, Soldiers, and Widows are played with here and there, just to check it out. I've never really stuck it out with any of these so who knows how I would have categorized them. So basically, Ambrozia would have a lot of competition for my attention. I'd get to her eventually, but not too soon.
