I can’t make up my mind, maybe everyone here can help.

Who to take to R4: IMIW or Darkhawk?

Both awakened 5-stars. Better questing synergies with IMIW, but Darkhawk would be more likely to be used on AWD. Limited resources and roster management concerns means it that only one gets the call up to the show.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I would say darkhawk has more utility in future content with his immunity and long heal block

Darkhawk. Seems to have more abilities/utility while IMIW is just a semi-annoying defender now that people are getting used to him.

Who did you did finally and why?

Darkhawk. And, since then, I’ve obtained, duped, and R4’d starky, who is way more useful. IMIW is still on my R4 list, but down at position 2 or 3. (Kinda thinking that new cap marvel could be fun — she just wrecks champs when she goes into binary)

After playing him for a few months, Darkhawk feels just OK as an R4. I’m not particularly skilled with the newer, more complicated characters, so I only really like DH’s L3 phase (huge damage), but that L3 doesn’t come around often. Also, his synergies aren’t with champs I want to R4, so I rarely make use of some of this better features (like the synergy with that skateboard guy).

All that said, sitting here today, the only reason I’d consider R4ing IMIW before DH is to have a more serviceable evade-depressor for that one ultramarines drone in that one chapter in variant where you use tech champs (so I could have two R4 champs to burn when playing the Starky/IMIW synergy). Overall, DH is still double immune and has some nice survivability. He’s a pretty close second to Vision(og) for that all-arounder for AQ poison/bleed flexibility and biohazard lanes.
