Captain Marvel + Daken Rebalance Discussion

I use A.wolvie and tiny-daken a lot to chew through easier matches. Under-leveled early seed teams or groups. cstorm and mnmags teams still early on when I'm not leaving such an easy team to beat on def.

After reading through the thread, the most pertinent part to me regarding the strike tiles is that very often during these matches, the board's red are completely saturated. I see a lot of possibly created strike tiles go to waste as a green matches and p.r. doesn't go off due to lack of available red. Then there is the same problem with wolvie's strike tiles going out. Many a Feral claws has gone off without a single strike tile being created, which makes me a sad panda. That's missing 1-4 str 45 strike tiles because there are str 28 strike strike tiles as far as the eye can see. Sure, having 10-12 little swords on the board is really cool. Still, I'd much rather they be all 45-46 str tiles once once I got to that point in a match... If they match would even be going at that point, since I think the overall match and power damage will be higher from the 5 to 6 turns in period all the way to the end.

It seems to me that lazy daken is the one taking the nerf, but tiny daken is just all around getting a buff.

-Full bump up to 3920 health (I assume he sits in the same health zone as a.wolvie)
-Scaled regen ability. Small bump, but adds up
-Tanks more colors for more characters. After all the health from regen, I bet his health would be closer to tank levels
-Third active power
-Strike tiles become more effective (see above)

Just being able to tank green for a.wolvie will be a nice buff to that duo. Generally I'm not making matches on dakens colors unless green/red don't exist and wolvie doesn't need healing on yellow. I think that will make for more matches before wolvie even needs to heal, and also take the pressure off getting him that heal on Offense, as often its a waiting game to get that yellow match to come along again.

Daken and HT might be nice now as mentioned.

I wonder if it will help the daken/tinycap combo? Probably not.

I think the reduction to a single strike per green match will help with his psylocke synergy also. too often you end up with 6 reds but the board is already flooded with little strikes and she wont put down any of her angry strike tiles. If daken is throwing out a more modest number of claws psy should hurt that much more

Are you referring to 2* Daken because that's the only one getting the cap to a single strike tile. 3* Daken has been a single tile until you get 5 purple but is also decreasing in tile strength. The synergy between Psylocke and 3* Daken won't change but I find that she is much better paired with Patch since you can blitz with enough AP.
