With 0 in H+H, Daken won't regen, but he also wont suffer from Heat. If he doesn't suffer from Heat, then outside of sacrificing strike tiles, wouldn't that negate the down side to Chemical Reaction? And with only being 115, wouldn't Daken be able to hide behind other characters to tank for him, negating the need for regeneration? Odd logic, but it would seem that gimping Daken by not covering Black is potentially more beneficial than harmful?

Then I'm guessing you really like 5/3/5 but don't want to lose out on the healing. However, while you may play blue to be a finisher, the AI will not, so defensively you may want to reevaluate your choice, but 5/4/4 is fine

Daken springs a trap, but his addiction to "Heat" threatens to push him over the edge. Damages the target for 99, converts two blue tiles to green, and converts up to 2 friendly strike tiles to basic tiles doing 50 damage per strike tile converted.
