Does Intelligence have any real purpose?

I see a lot of people not building up the intelligence stat. Is it pointless right now?

I believe it is for the repair tactic.But I could be very wrong.
When I look back at the posts I made all those years ago, my grammar makes me want to hurl.

It's mostly used to repair, with more intelligence the bot will restore more damage then normal. On the other side of the coin people who don't have the repair tactic would use it to target people with "high strength, high courage, high firepower and low endurance", most people choose to ignore the stat in favor of more beneficial stats like courage, speed, endurance and pretty much every other stat available.

Here is the what the official saying of what Intelligence does;

"Intelligence: Learn certain tactics. Choose targets in combat who have high strength, high courage, high firepower, low endurance, (to a smaller extent) high skill, rank and intelligence, and (to an even smaller extent) low speed."

So in short it can be useful but not nearly compared to the other upgrades at this point in time.

It "unlocks" the "super-secret" autobot "ultimate mode of totally destructive pretenses", or so i "hear"?

there are "arguments" on its "effectiveness" on overall play. It does work as a "feeder stat" to repair.

it also works to get into higher level missions "earlier" by buffing a "superfluous" stat and hoping your build does "better".

(hey, "_Any_", wanna run some "numbers" :P )

P.S. Why did i use "so many"("quotation marks")?

hey, when i "de-leveled" "some" of my "cons" i "hoped" you would "appreciate" what "I" "accomplished"...?

"my" "bait and lure" tactic "worked" and now "more" "xp" is "potentially" "available" for "others" because of "higher level" opponents...?

I'm sure somewhere in the rules it says I can issue a warning for excessive quotation marks. :P
