I'm sure it's wonderful but I can only imagine. Worse case scenario where there's barely any greens or reds, I can at least chase purple with Daken with no fear and maybe get off a 1-2 strike kyec. Without Daken, he just loses health.

He takes away from his stronger strikes and forces you to go after green instead of purple, or blue instead of black. Don't get me wrong, you can team them up for success, it isn't 'trash', but the synergy is just tanking. If doing goon nodes Falcon/Blade/Rogers or CMags will beat pretty much anything. - Unreall

You never seen a powered up blade in PVP then Apparently heroics and pvp are the same thing to you. Limited roster, against Juggernaut, Blade does not do any work. Maybe you're pairing him with Cyc, but I can't and I don't know what that's like. All I implied was that he is not a good stand-alone hero and if you want to argue that then I have no words for you. In the very first sentence I said that I loved using him. Also he was featured very recently @Lerysh - I saw you mention this twice so I want to ask you: when you run Blade/Daken, do you chase blue and spam CR regardless of how many blues are on the board? Is your Daken in heat all the time and you just prologue heal him?

Took too much dmg and no board shake-up, but it was 'fun'. Who else can spit out a high volume of non-red strike tiles? I didn't like Blade being just a strike generator as the focus was on Blue/Black/Yellow, so I never got enough purple, and BP used the black. - Unreall
