Who to R5 5* Corvus Glaive or Medusa?

All unduped but can be awakened and have about 40 sigs.

Comments

That's actually a tough decision. I have both at R4 myself, Medusa awakened, Corvus unawakened. Medusa needs the awakening more so than Corvus. Corvus has great damage, essentially bleed immune while glaive charges are active. But Medusa with Karnak and BB is pretty damn good as well, plus being able to shut down robots completely, able to cause bleeds, and poison immune.

Honestly I'd say its almost a coin flip.

I'd also say it depends on what need you're filling. For AW offense, CG is a monster. For defense, Medusa still does pretty good, even with all the counters out there. For general questing, I favor CG over Medusa, but for things like labs, I feel Medusa has a little better flexibility. I have them both r5 and use them both regularly.

Im going to be in the minority but to tell you the truth in my personal experience Corvus Glaive is:
-He's very powerful but becomes the worst Champ when you're Charges end.
-He isn't reliable for long continuous fights and as Act 6.3 gets released the health pools may be more than what he can reach.
-He needs to be charged up to get his big DMG. Which depends on opponents available.
Now im not saying that Corvus is the worst champ but at the end of the day it's your choice and if you enjoy using him then go for it.
But I would recommend that you don't awaken him but instead Medusa or a better option in the future as he doesn't need his awakening ability.

Astounds

I think it's very dependent on what you need and if medusa is awakened ect but corvus is corvus so.

I had the same choice, r4 sig 200 medusa or r4 unduped corvus, went with medusa and shes been amazing. Corvus is in the 6 star pool, also, i just really love medusa and corvus hasnt failed me yet at r4. Hoping for a 6 star to take to r2 in the future.

Corvus Glaive hands down.

i took him to r5 unduped and he doesnt really need the dupe.

Glaive is the most overrated champ bar none. Hate watching people gripe about who gets to get which charges in AQ. And forget AW with Bulwark. He's a good champ but damn if Kabam isn't doing everything possible to nerf him through nodes these days. And forget LoL, he's useless if they release another comparable quest.

Medusa is one of the most underrated champs on the other hand. Poison immune, hits like a truck without synergies and is an absolute monster with the Inhuman synergies (my go-to for poison line in Map 6). Living strands can save your butt if you get hit and she's the queen against robots like Darkhawk and Sentinel.

Be another Corvus drone or be bold and actually rank an awesome no-strings attached champ who can do anything. Plus Corvus is a 6* champ and they won't even release Medusa at that rarity so there's that

I see your point. Actually both of them are R3 at the moment but I got a 4-5 gem so just need to R4 one of them. I don't know about R5 CG but I do like using Medusa more and at least at R3 I practically never use CG.
Extra info I actually have 2 cosmic gems but was hoping to save 1 for Cap Marvel MCU or Cull Obsidian or VTD if I ever get any of them. Already have Hype duped at R5 who is my hardest hitter. Also I don't use suicides if that makes any difference.

Anyone who said Medusa should be ignored

Explain please. Cause he at least provided his reasoning which does makes sense. Why do you thing Corvus is better?

-Dude Medusa has consistent DMG while Corvus has to charge up in is a complete Nightmare when there aren't charges/ opponents in the path and yes, Medusa may be an older Champ but her value still shows like i have her at 4/55 with no regrets.
-If you watch Seatin's Channel he's first F2P account had a 5/65 Medusa and SHE CARRIED even through Labyrinth Of Legends (LOL).
I'll be honest i was very skeptical at first but when awakened and you have the Royal trinity she can begin to hit pretty hard.

Medusa is a great champ but comparing Corvus with Medusa is like comparing flying broom with toilet brush

Like the toilet brush Glaive swings around when you hit a line in AW with no charges or when you're in LoL or 6.3 or 6.4 coming soon with insane health pools? Also, take him against a metal champ in AW with Bulwark and let us know how fun that is.

Corvus you need the right conditions for him to shine, Medusa does it right out of the box in any situation.

Rank up corvus but use the gem on medusa

BlackJ4zz

Listen man if you leave it up to people they'll say you rank up Corvus cause he's the trend right now but trust me if you don't have a 6* Corvus you'll rally suffer in the future Corvus is good just like SS, When they WORK and in certain conditions but trust me you'll quickly find out that he's reach is very limited and since Kabam are trying to counter him every single patch, he wont be as viable in long term future content.

Corvus is so damn overrated. Not saying he’s bad, because he’s awesome, but Medusa and Hyperion are definitely better. They’re way more reliable and versatile in the amount of content they can clear. So my seemingly unpopular vote goes to Medusa.

AlexAvalon

https://youtu.be/f-q6xbdduz4 this is a quick rol WS fight i recorded right after i ranked her to r5. She was my first and i was and am really proud of her! Can ALWAYS count on her.

Are you running suicides?
IF..

No: Medusa
Yes: Corvus

Also.. everyone who is saying Corvus is overrated clearly just doesn't have a Rank 5 Corvus.
He's a better champ at max potential.
