Falcon, Lazy Daken, and Blade make for an awesome team that can get rolling quite quickly. With proper positioning Lazy Daken tanks for Blade's purple and black. In the current Kamala tournament loaner Kamala + Lazy Daken + Blade has been a blast to use. I think I will try Patch + Lazy Daken + Blade in the sim - I think with Blade on the far right that could make for some fun battles.

Hell, it's hard for blade NOT to be playable - I remember playing him powered up at 1/2 covers during his initial events I am also 4/5/4, and am unsure if I want to go 3/5/5. I get the allure, but one less red requirement, especially when no one on the team wants red, means he and Daken generate strike tiles just fine.

His purple is so juicy, but in the time I get one off, I usually have fired off black SEVERAL times...and that AP drain at 5 is ridiculous. I dunno. I can't say 355 is a best build out right. AP denial is worth more when fighting 'up' in PvE and when trying to limit hard hitters in PvE. Team him with Cage to kill match dmg and its a damn nasty team. - Unreall

I use Lcap/Blade/Falcon for the last survival node in DDQ every day and when I have 2 fully powered purple attack tiles out it feels like I am cheating because everyone goes down so easily. You can also just use his black twice to have double the ap drain.
Unreallystic wrote: I don't feel 535 is just PvE though. It's actually amplified in PvP, right now the 'in' colors are red and black,..so defensively I often find myself plucking black matches instead of purple, so I literally get to black first and way more often, AND reds are dangerous to leave floating around with all the red generators and people who do stuff WITH red now.. With purple at 5 the dmg is ridiculous, if you've set the board so it doesn't get whipped away on the next couple of turns, and have enough strike tiles to get the full effect. It's WORK to make purple effective, while black is pretty much a "No Soup For You!" button @ 5. I'm not fronting though, I'm at 355, and my DP team is CMag/Falcon/Blade, I KNOW what dat purp do so to speak, but I also know that I'm stuck waiting for 'wave' nodes to enjoy Blade's purple, while I get to fire off his black multiple times in a regular match. - Unreall
