If he pairs with an RGY tank, they are basically tanking 5 colors. As the 3rd, OBW/Torch would tank black and MNMags would tank blue. OBW seems the best 3rd here. If he pairs with Daken (assuming additional ability buff), then D can tank green, black, purple blue, while an RGY tanks red and yellow. Kinda sucks to not have black or purple actives though. Nice regen for longer plays. Doesn't seem versatile enough for Hawkeye teams to de-throne the top-tier 2* team comps, but seems very playable. He'd no longer be an auto-trash, especially for 1* --> 2* transitioners.
