At Max Level: HP: 3920 Tile damage: 09/10/43/49/11/55/4.0
(PASSIVE) Daken’s healing factor allows him to recover 3% of his health every turn. If there are fewer than 9 Blue tiles, the terrible drug “Heat” kicks in, and he loses 3% of his health instead.
(PASSIVE) Daken releases a scent that sets his enemies on edge, using their anger to his advantage. Whenever anyone makes a Green match, add a Red Strike tile to the board of strength 5.
Daken springs a trap, but his addiction to "Heat" threatens to push him over the edge. Damages the target for 100, converts two 2 Blue tiles to Green, and converts up to 2 friendly Strike tiles to basic tiles, doing 50 damage per Strike tile converted.
Here's an older version.

I've been running Thor - Daken - Grey Suit Black Widow, and find that the combo is pretty synergistic. Daken tanks for Black Widow and generates red strike tiles on a match of green. Thor uses red (sometimes okay to wipe out a strike tile if red is scarce on the board) to power up his yellow, which then generates green. Incidental purple matches can fuel the generation of yet more green.
Sadly Daken's level cap is 69 rather than 85, but even so, his healing makes him relatively sturdy. He can soak a level-85 Thor thunder strike, for instance, and yet it doesn't take long to heal him up. As long as I can keep him alive, he's one less character that I need to use heals on.
As is the human player always places strike tiles first. Sometimes this isn't a big deal but there are plenty of instances where there are only 2 or fewer red tiles remaining.
Much obliged.
He's a poor man's Wolverine, especially in that trio. OBW is a great partner for him (but negates any tiles match synergy) but a third member is hard to come up with.
Someone who generates green, who can trigger Daken's awesome and totally non-annoying purple passive
How does OBW work well with Daken btw? Will OBW/Daken/Thor be somewhat nice? I realize this isn't the best combo, but I would like to use him as a backup team of sorts.
If you have her at 5 black she will deal out extra damage on any blue, black and purple match that she makes. So the match will be augmented by Daken's strike tiles and so will the extra damage from her black passive. Daken is nice for her because despite having a purple and black ability his damage is lower than hers on tile matches so she will make the matches for those colors. The downside is you lose some of the color rainbow (for tile matches).
Thor would be a great third (green, red, yellow match strength so no interference with OBW).
But again, this team is nothing compared to Wolvie,OBW,Thor
Strike Tiles: Advantage Wolverine
Healing: Wolverine
Health: Wolverine
Power Damage: Wolverine
Tile Damage: Wolverine
More Annoying Passive: Daken
But the only reason it seems so strange is because they are so similar so we can make the direct comparison. This happens a lot at each * level.
If Daken had 3 powers and could be leveled up to 85 instead of only 69 then maybe he could be comparable. But otherwise? Yes, Wolverine should be better in every possible way.
Really? A sociopath with daddy issues? What's not to like
Patch, Original Black Widow, Daken
or
Wolverine (**), Original Black Widow, Daken
Opinions?
