Intelek: Every 5 combos in a stack, the blast combo bonus is multiplied by -1.

My personal thoughts on Intelek: While the creator of this avatar is pretty pessimistic about it, I personally think this one is a pretty tough brainiac. The ability kind of reminds me of the physics for the Meteos planet Jeljel while not being exact. Basically, every 5 combos in your multiplier will will cause the stack to speed up or slow down (combo bonus * -1). So it starts relatively fast, then goes really slow, then back to fast again. What makes this particularly useful in this case is that Intelek is a floater, which physics similar to Jeukert, Hypocrasus, and #99 in that regard. This makes Intelek *really* powerful, as a good way to utilize this ability is when the stack is combo bonus 5-9, just make matches as fast as you can to rack up the score and potentially screen clear. If you don't screen clear, then matches 10-14, you can shield for a little bit before needing to screen clear, as matches 15-19 will actually make the stack move DOWN, which could potentially lead to disastrous results. However, the combo bonus will almost screen clear by this point anyway, so it's hardly worth worrying about. Intelek's creator is probably going to laugh at me for this, but I honestly do believe Intelek is a really good avatar that's worth using if shielding is your preferred playstyle.
