Interesting! Mr. Sinister is a direct counter to Ghost and Corvus

Do you think kabam had this in mind when designing mr. sinister's abilities? I just think it is curious that as a mutant champion, mr. sinister can directly counter ghost (unblockable, critical hits), or even sparky, but not skill champions like crossbone. Is there a comic reference? What's the connection between mr. sinister and ghost, sparky, and corvus?
love to hear the story behind as well as your thoughts. Thanks for sharing!

wow, intriguing! that's exactly what i'm asking. it makes sense for magneto, because of his abilities in comics.
Is there a comic reference for mr. sinister? What's the connection between mr. sinister and ghost, sparky, and corvus? Does he affect tech the same way magneto does in the comics?
Kabam probably just wanted to devise a means to counter ghost and Stark or corvus on defense
Omega Red is the hard counter to Korg
Symbiote Supreme is the hard counter to Corvus
Corvus is the hard counter to Sentinels
Yet they have no relationship outside of this game. I wouldn't look too much into it. It's just a game-balancing decision.
I dealt over 500k damage, he healed back to around 525k hahaha yea definitely counter to ghost n corvus and sparky too. Crossbones and Quake shine here
Havok doesnt do poop lol
will we start seeing mr. sinister being placed on aw boss node? if so, which champion do you think will be the new boss killer ? previously, we have starky, corvus, ghost being the most common boss killer.
i feel like with mr. sinister and the thing being introduced, we might start seeing void more often in boss fight. do you think the meta is slightly shifting?
my corvus actually cut through havok fairly easily, but i had to switch to using void for mr. sinister
Wouldn't say those are the most common boss killers at all. Far more magik, MS, and now sym sup killers now as Medusa and Champion are 2 of the most common bosses
corvus and ghost are still commonly used for medusa
Once his charges run out he’s the perfect sinister counter!
Me so smart😂
I doubt we will ever see sinister boss. Sure he regens but quake or R4 crossbones can counter him. If your champs dont crit or have DoTs like Omega, sinister isnt hard at all. Morningstar with 5 souls SP1 deals a good chunk of damage and even if her SP1 crits, it crits for what 2k damage but her energy damage goes up to 15k per crit....We might see him at times as boss just to test the waters but he will be best on ambush nodes
Right i forgot that
Nah it isn't a screw up. Kabam is fully aware of how powerful a champ is before release, they aren't stupid. It's just how they make money for the game, getting whales to buy FGMCs, first for the powerful attackers and then their counters, and a powerful defender, then their counter, etcetera. I'm not talking out of bitterness, that's seriously just how the game is designed.
You can use ghost but they will be long fights. They are designed to punish and deter the use of high crit champions.
