Flame jets also gives you more strike tile triggers for good measure. Hes obviously not ideal since you want more colors than 4, but eh. Cmags probably works well with blade since cmags red can help replenish red tiles on the board after youve matched them away and the two cover 5 colors. Thor thor thor thor THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR. Powerful red/yellow/green user but has a mediocre red so you won't be matching it much anyway. Blade and Daken both have 6800 health. You're going to want to add a tank. Torch and cMags do not fit the bill. Hell, Panther could practically wipe out that entire team with one swipe.

I mean, you'll likely end up matching away the attack tile you created to create another one... Aw, who am i kidding. It's still an active purple and that's a good thing

If you're at the point where you can launch Thunder Strike into Call the Storm then the game's over. You don't need the attack/strike tiles any more.

Phaserhawk wrote: Well I was spot on about the cost of the passive. I think Blade is a straight up 5/5/3 build, unless the threshold gets lower at higher levels for Thirst or possibly creates 2 strike tiles, I just can't see you being able to constantly rely on it to create strike tiles. 11 is a lot and giving that it is also red...a color you don't really want to leave hanging around, I think maxing out his black and purple are the way to go.

Yes I know overkill ..I said that lol not enough colors spread out but whatever .

Yes I know overkill ..I said that lol not enough colors spread out but whatever . X-Force & Hulk both have a tendency to destroy special tiles, so I don't think they'd pair well with Blade. Daken & Falcon would work well with him. Human Torch could be awesome with him especially if Blades countdown tiles steal Red or Green from the enemy team. I'm hoping he'll pair well with Patch too since collecting and using purple might convert enough of the remaining purple tiles into attack tiles that using berserker rage won't give the enemy fewer strike tiles.
