Tripler is an alien that changes the value of its attack cards. Whenever it plays a 10 or less, the card is tripled. If the card played is higher than 10, the card is divided by 3, rounded up.

Tripler premiered online. Here, Tripler's power is used before pods are revealed, creating a double-guessing situation for those who are holding a Cosmic Zap. With the ability to multiply negative pods (making them even smaller), it is a bigger threat to Anti-Matter and Loser than other aliens.

As a main player, after your opponent reveals an attack card of 15 or higher, you may divide that attack card's value by 3 (rounding up) before any other effects are applied.
Super
When you use your power, you may triple the value of any attack cards that are 13 or less instead of 10 or less.

Tripler is one of two aliens (the other being Mite) to originate online before appearing in a print version of the game. Here, Tripler's power is moved to after cards are revealed, which makes more sense in some ways by matching the timing of similar aliens such as Virus.

FFG You have the power of Thrice. As a main player, after you reveal an attack card, use this power to adjust its value. If the card's value is 10 or less, triple its value. If the card's value is more than 10, divide its value by three (rounded up). Millennia of obsessive racing and betting has given the the Triples a knack for making something out of nothing. The unfortunate downside of such flimflammery is that they have become equally prone to making nothing out of something. The Triplers now wish to redefine the Universe as an opportunity for their final race, forcing all other beings to bet everything they have on one final mad dash across the Cosmos.
