    This probably needs an "all of the above" option to be strictly accurate, but then you wouldn't get any kind of spread of answers, I suppose.

    I went with Ares, because all three of his powers are cheap and nasty. My usual method with DA is to use Peggy to slow them down, but that actually makes his green worse. Thank demi for Strange and C4ge, that's all I can say.

    Daken for me.

    match green: his purple banner flashes and strike tiles appear

    practically every turn: his black banner flashes

    whenever he uses blue: his slashing animation, blue tiles turning to green (which inevitably result in cascades leading to his purple being triggered), you take damage, and then he gets rid of his own strike tiles and you take extra damage

    Daken, Bullseye and any of the high-health DAs with cheap, annoying abilities (Onslaught, Symbiote Snare, Headbutt/Unstoppable Crush) are just a snooze to play against. The game loses all sense of speed. Gravity Warp is bad, too, but at least it's an expensive ability for Moonstone to use.

    After some consideration, I went for Daken.

    My personal most hated DA ranking, with explanations:
    1. Daken - Because of his self heal, you will almost always target him last (or until you can one shot him), but in the meantime his strike tiles hurt and his @%#$@ cheap blue power means you will lose health. Also, animations.
    2. Juggs - Everyone knows why we hate an overscaled juggernaut. :mrgreen:
    3. Ares - Because he will hurt you with his cheap green. If the match drags on, his other powers dish out a lot of damage as well.
    4. Yelena - She's like the girl passed out on the couch in 'Lock, stock, and two smoking barrels'. Most of the time you won't notice her, but suddenly she wakes up and you're hit with a Payback Mission out of nowhere for a lot of HP and you're down one or two special tiles.
    5. Bullseye - Flooding the board with those tinykitty protect tiles fills me with mild annoyance! 
    6. Rags - Hm, his cheap read can be a pain but it's not as bad as Juggs's.
    7. Moonstone - While she can be a tough cookie (dat HP!), there's nothing really standing out about her for me to gripe about. Maybe that she always seems to be swimming in black AP to steal my tiles.
    8. Venom - Historically, I hate Venom most of all because of his awful cheapskate team stun with annoying sound effect. But ever since he was nerfed, he's just a minor inconvenience. His black sometimes hurts, but is usually manageable.

    On the plus side, we get a Join Forces with Devil Dinosaur. That always makes my day when this one finally rolls around to the third sub :)

    I hate them all. Let's please never need to fight them again! That would be the best.

    That's why I strongly prefer PVE Sim, Gauntlet, Prodigal Sun and other ones where you fight the good guys and not the DAs all over again.

    I chose Rags because he heals and does an annoying aoe plus board shake. Also I don't like Venom, since he stuns my OML and makes me use my glass cannons who are hiding behind him. But they're all super annoying!

    My Top 3 Worst!

    No 3 - Daken. Auto healing and those darn strike tiles of his. And then there's his blue special. Attack > Lose damage > Strike tiles vanish > Lose damage > Repeat.

    No 2 - Bullseye. Purple. Protect. Tiles. I remember having trouble taking him out because of these after playing this game for a month. At least when I fight Daken, I don't feel like I'm fighting a Metapod spamming Harden (Pokemon reference!).

    No 1 - Juggernaut. He can easily spam his green special since the AP cost is short. And then there's his red special. I always get chills down my spine the moment he has enough red AP to use Headbutt. It's even worse when you're low on health and you're fighting him at a higher level than before.

    I think it depends on who is accompanying the DA i.e., Bullseye + Muscle is super annoying, hey what's up "Freeze Buddy" node. 

    Tie for first: Daken + Juggernaut 
    Bullseye / Ares
    Moonstone, especially when it's 4* Jean Crash of The Titans node.

    Definitely no longer mind facing Venom now, with 5* Black Panther. You actually want him to get stunned. Not to mention, if his Devour is unavoidable, BP may be able to deflect some of it. Bring Strange along, and Venoms stuns are even more of a good thing.

    For the worst though, gonna have to stick with Ares on this one.
    He always finds some dang way to get his cheap green power going. And I'm continually surprised how easily he gets 10 yellow.

    Bullseye and the protect tiles slow the game down so much.  I generally try to use true healers to tank for my other team member; My Patch and 3-star Daken are both high enough to tank for 3-star Iron Fist.  Othertimes, I use a couple of people to tank for Hood so they don't get that many AP in the first place.
