My reasoning is this: Daken's usefulness increases the more he can regen tank for guys on your team. However, look at the current 2* roster: only good purple user is OBW (who Daken can't tank for), only good black user is Torch (who Daken CAN tank for), and only good blue user that Daken can tank for is Daken. This means that in order for Daken to be doing any MEANINGFUL tanking (aka tanking that gets you ap that you actually want), then you want to be matching blue for chemical reaction and casting that whenever. If you're matching blue for chemical reaction, then purple gets less effective since the tiles aren't going to be around for long, and that you want to have as much regen as possible so that you don't kill yourself. TLDR: 3/5/5 if you want Daken to have a more active role on your team so that you aren't afraid of matching blue for chemical reaction. 5/3/5 if you want Daken to be super passive and only care about him for his strike tiles.
