However, Furry Friends seems to be a bit too good at cascading so that it ends up destroying itself a lot of the time before the CD is over. In this sense its usage is more like Lightning Strike than a damage dealing move.

Yeah, but that makes it hard to compute its value. You basically lose out on this ability if it was awesome enough to destroy itself via cascades, so what you want is cascades but not so good that you end up destroying the CDs themselves and that's just very hard for me picture how good this ability works on average conceptually. After all, sometimes it will be good enough to get a cascade that wiped itself out from the AP it gets, but how do you even model that? Getting 15 AP while losing your own tiles is probably not a great deal (Lightning Strike gets you 14), but what if it's 25? How would you even model this stuff?

You'd never be able to model also because you can increase it's efficiency by waiting to cast it until the green tiles are in a favorable position. Just like how you bast Berserker Rage when there's no green matches but at least one purple match, you cast Furry when there's no green matches available.

She just doesn't fit in with the rest of the fellas. i feel exactly the same, instead of the art showing a fun character i.e. loki or dino, she looks like a creepy witch, must be her eyes. It's the mouth. I was in a round with her and Patch was in front, her in the middle...and she actually looked kinda cute. The mouth was covered up and she looked more cartoonishly fun. Kinda cute and cheeky. Then you see her full face and that mouth is just overly sized. Thing is, the artist (from what I can tell) seems more comfortable with realistic styles. Drawing a cartoon realistically activates the uncanny valley sensor in your brain. So she needed to be either drawn as a real person, or drawn as a cartoon. The half-and-half is what makes her creepy. That and her GIGANTIC SCARY MOUTH.

Daken/Squirrel Girl/Falcon was fantastic for me against goons and easy non-goons. Green charges Furry Friends and produces strike tiles, Yellow charges The Bigger They Are and inspires strike tiles, Daken tanks purple to get Nuts From Above ready, and blue for Red Wing and Chemical Reaction. Substitute Daken for Blade for variety.

There's a few red dumpers, but there's not a ton of purple killers, and she can stand alone as a green user pretty well to boot. I think I'd level her before Mystique too, but it's close. Mystique doesn't need levels as much as she needs 5 blue for the mMags combo.
