Unfortunately I only have one cover of him, but after some reading I think a 5-5-3 or a 5-4-4 would be the builds to go, and I would explain why  below.

5-5-3.

Starlords key ability is his yellow, so for maximization he will need 5 covers.

His purple is just that good that it deserves 5 covers. 4973  + 1451 = 6424 to the target, and 1451 to the other 2 enemies for a 2 turn CD. In contrast his max red would be a 6998 damage to the target for a 3 turn CD. I think game wise his purple is better, because a 2 turn CD tile has less chance to be matched away by the enemy than the 3 turn CD. I mean what's the point of having power if you can't use it? But of course game style and personal preferences dictate here.

5-4-4

Would be a "compromise" build for me. It will mean that I would lose the 2 AP reduction for purple, but I would also have a decent Red damage in case I don't have a better red ability with me.

I see lots of 5-3-5 builds on the forums, but I just don't know. I think the 2 AP reductions is a bigger difference than the lose of some damage. I think he would usually be paired with an ally with a stronger Red with an immediate effect, rather than waiting 3 turns for a damage that has potential to never come.
