Best Of

Depends on what your current goal is, if you want someone for bgs then Cull is a no-brainer but I'd pick Anti-venom for literally anything else. Cull is pure damage with little utility while Anti-venom is a lot more balanced, leaning towards utility.

For Anti-venom; having stagger as a science champion is insane, his healing is absurd and the heal reversal is great. He counters unstoppable and evade as well but its chance based and I feel like most of the time you'd prefer someone that "prevents" evade rather than reduce the chance of it happening. Matchups like duped Nightcrawler and Bullseye for example require abilities like panic and ensnare as their ability accuracy of evade can't be reduced. Anti-venom also has a disorient but its not strong enough for a 100% reduction. Petrify can help with controlling power gain and perhaps even reverse it if I'm understanding the interaction with sig ability correctly? He also can deal great damage, those passive furies are some of the strongest in the game but honestly you'll never use him just for his damage. There will almost always be better damage dealers, what makes him special is how he can deal high damage while bringing a lot of utility to the table. I personally wouldn't recommend using him unless his utility is required, he is mainly a utility champion who can also do damage.

For Cull; I honestly don't have an as in-depth understanding or knowledge of his kit but from all I've seen his value comes mostly from his nuke potential in bgs. He is also a great quester but so is Sabretooth and well... Anyways, so in the right matchup Cull is one of the fastest nukes ever in the entire game undoubtedly. I've seen a r4 unduped Cull nuke my r3 duped Red Skull in 23 seconds this victory track meta and that includes the loading time and stuff. (I had nuked my fight in 30 seconds as well but my opponent clearly knew something I did not) That's actually one of my main concerns with his bgs performance, he doesn't have as much utility that is easily compensated with damage. I won't count every meta relevant defender he can't take but his "great" matchups seem too limited and people will eventually realise, you wouldn't wanna use him against Onslaught for example even though he can theoretically work. With all that being said; having true accuracy allowing him to ignore evade and auto-block just for existing is really nice, up to 3 armor breaks per heavy attack turns all those armor up reliant defenders into vanilla fights. His fury is massive but one of the best pieces of utility he has is being able to parry non-contact attacks. With all those annoying defenders utilizing non-contact basic attacks that is such an invaluabe ability and makes you question why he should have such a low block proficiency if his utility consists of his ability to block...

Overall I personally prefer Anti-venom though it solely depends on what gamemode you want to focus on. Cull is inarguably the better bgs attacker and quester whereas Anti-venom is the overall better champion for most other game modes with a lot more versatility in his kit. I'd advise messing around with their 6 star versions if possible and see how they feel, perform and try to estimate what a 7 star rank X would do given the increased stats. It may at least give you a rough idea about them even though results can be misleading since its impossible to replicate a bgs scenario in a different mode especially with so many variables like stat focus, challenger rating etc.

Fun fact: Anti-venom can heavy counter Zola.

That's cool. My duped 7* saberman will likely stay r1 l1 forever. Why? Because screw RNG for giving me the worst champ in the crystal not once, but twice.

same **** different year, how do you not learn from your past mistakes? It’s getting hard justifying spending on this game with the same old issues over and over

Damn folks.

Let the man enjoy his Sabretooth.

Yeah he sucks, but like, you don't need to say it.

he is not the worst, you forgot about Night Thrasher

We need to support indie companies like Kabam who are clearly desperate for some money to run their business and intend to give the best experience possible for us players. Every game has bugs, connection issues, AI issues, communication issues and whatnot. Best we can do is to be patient, knowing that Kabam is working very hard and surely doing the best they could to keep us entertained.

What we need is not a boycott but an act of appreciation for our beloved game and its makers. I'm pretty sure that if every player today decided to spend just a tiny amount of $5 on a daily deal, we would have all our problems fixed by tomorrow. Kabam is like an old friend of 10+ years at this point and I personally can't boycott a friend, don't think you guys could be so heartless either. If I ever had a problem with someone I share a deep emotional bond with, my initial response would be to show some love and compassion by reminding them how much I care. I advise you to do the same and what better way to do so in this situation than pulling that credit card and going on a spending spree on those juicy deals as an expression of our sincere gratitude? Even a dimensional arcade ticket bundle would suffice, its the intent that matters after all.

Believe me when I say that nothing can stop us if we unite as one and most importantly, spend as one...

Ok I'm actually done now. May this remain as my final comment, just as worthless as any other. I'm actually so tired and drained that I'll quit forums once I post this garbage and never look back. I'll quit the game as well in a few days at most, 10 years was more than enough to get the best out of it. Wish everyone the best, been an exhausting few days and frankly wasn't worth it. Got nothing positive to say honestly (nothing personal) so I'll just end it here.

Who cares anyway? I surely don't.

I thought this was about the class based units

Damn. I thought this layout was all a horrible mistake. I can’t believe it’s intended to look this way. It’s truly awful.

Loading time is ridiculous right now.

I got the wifi symbol of death multiple times in arenas yesterday, saved 1 round, 2 rounds lost. No biggie on that.

BGs i came to a 5 second ban timer or auto bans...

Doing AQ was extra painful hoping that the fight registered and didn't lose 50% HP...

I honestly wonder if they cut cost in bandwith or something at this point 🤣

nope!! This game also has ROL. Guess we can use him there.
