I used to always pair my 2* Wolverine with Daken, it was a very effective combination (and I assume OBW would be a fine complement). However, with the changes to Wolverine’s regen ability it may not be so great anymore, because Wolverine’s regen now requires destroying yellow tiles, which can lead to Daken’s ‘heat’ kicking in.
As a thought, maybe Daken’s third ability should be a passive that’s a mix between Moonstone and OBW skills.
Yellow (passive):
Daken’s rage sometimes gets the better of him at the risk of his own life. Any time yellow tiles are matched, it deals x damage per Red tile on the board.
Rank 1: Only base red tiles are counted.
Rank 2: Damage is increased by 15%
Rank 3: Damage is increased by 15%
Rank 4: Counts all red tiles.
Rank 5: Damage on tiles with a strike symbol is doubled.
Is there something special about having a level 69 Over 85 Daken, every roster I’ve randomly gone through or fight I’ve had with Daken in a PvP event has a 69 Daken, it’s been like a 8:1 ratio of 69 to 85 Dakens? I’m genuinely curious as someone oh wants to build a Daken to compliment my Ares.
I haven’t seen much opinion on how Daken and 2* Wolverine compare, after W’s nerf. As a player with a maxed Daken and a nearly maxed W, I find Daken’s heal superior now, and his green ability tolerable / superior(!).
My thought on green might depend on my strategy with him and W, though. Everyone knows a Dak attack is about half a W. But with W, I would match 6 green, then meticulously match every red I could, and then use claws. With Dak, it was fire and forget. Damage ramped up as fast as I could match green; no red matching required.
With yellow being automatic heals, rather than having to spend a move matching, I was getting consistently good performance out of Daken in tournaments.
In other news, Daken’s absolutely insane when Hulk is present - on either side. Every hit on Hulk seems to trigger Anger, which converts to green tiles, often matching, leading to red attacks… I see Phaserhawk mentioned this in the Hulk thread. …It’s kinda fun.
Considering there is no other 2* with 2 skills for me to compare him to other than Bullseye, which I haven’t seen anyone bother to level, I didn’t know this. I did know it for the 3* characters though. No need to be so hostile.
You guys take things so personally. There was no hostility in any if my statements. Simply seemed like a question that could have been answered a billion times over by taking 10 minutes in the character discussion forum.
Daken is good despite being capped at 69. It’s typical to get +200 damage from tile matches. I use him very frequently. He’s zero maintenance. I should prolly track total damage he does for me one of these days.
I usually take advantage of powered up characters running a solo show. Rather than use characters to share/steal the spotlight, I run characters like Daken or Hood to amplify them.
What’s the matter, you can give it but not take it? Treat people with respect and you’ll get the same. Not everyone knows as much about the game as a lot of us here do, so how about just being helpful instead of calling people noobs or trolls.
