How to Play Daken
Daken’s strategy is similar to that ofHuman Torch:Buff him on the board, then double his Power. One example of achieving this is by combining Daken with Forge and Silver Surfer, which can provide him with a +4 boost. After that, players can abolish Daken’s Muramasa Shard with Killmonger, turning him into a 16-Power card.
How to Counter Daken
As an On Reveal card, Daken can be countered with Cosmo. However,the ultimate counterplay against him is Shadow King.Shadow King can revert Daken’s stats backto the base form, removing all the buffs he has gained. Other answers include Alioth, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Shang-Chi (if Daken has +10 Power).
Is Daken Worth It?
Yes, Daken is worth the price, especially for players who specialize indiscard or destroy archetypes. He can be easily integrated into both decks, maximizing the board’s Power for a reasonable Cost. Daken’s biggest downside is his high readability. The opponent can read his next moves and counter him before—or after—the buffs.
