Use for Sabretooth for act 5?

I recently got 5 star Sabretooth as a 5 star from a featured 5 star crystal. I saw Seatin’s Sabretooth video and I think that with synergies he has nice damage. The problem is that I already have 5 star domino at rank 2 and I’m not sure if I even have Omega Red at any rarity yet. Is Sabretooth useful for act 5?

I just learned that with KM synergy, ultron last boss of act 5 is easy, shouldve use him before, might saved a lot of units

I’m still at act 5.1 lol but I’ll keep that in mind.

As above, he is the only reason I got uncollected. It's not just killmonger it's also black panther that can activate the synergy. Rank him up and learn how to use him!

The omega red synergy is good for extra bleed damage.

I just watched Seatin's video on that too, and he didn't understand the character super well, so I felt like it wasn't the best guide. I would recommend Sabretooth though and checking out a guide on how to utilize him properly. He helped me do my first clear of Act 5, and is still in my main lineup most of time.

As @MorbidAngle mentioned. Sabertooth with Killmonger synergy completely shuts down the Masochism node. And believe me when I say this, 5.2.4 (Lines in the sand - Masochism) quest is a big, BIG pain in the backside.

First time ever fighting him. I used the KM synergy. Yes, I know... evade the specials. I was nervous and didn't want to do anything to #### it up. As you can tell, he shuts him down.

I always look for this. I need to save it already lol

Thanks for the advice everyone! I could actually take Sabretooth to rank 2 but I’m not sure if I should since I already have Domino.

Also is the omega red synergy necessary? It does give him more damage.

No. It's not. It won't help against bleed immune.

So should I rank 2 him or wait for someone else?

@SkyBlueGaming

Personally, I earn my 5 furies by doing 4 of the 10 hit combos and ending the fight with an SP3. If you are lucky and have 5th fury from a 10 hit combo going on just before you hit an SP3, it can carry over to the next fight as a 6th fury.

Add a Magneto to the team and use that method and you can build up to 18 furies in just 3 fights.

You have to fight a mutant for the synergy to activate.

In a perfect situation the passive furies would be:
8, 8, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1 and an active fury for a total of 30.

Adding Domino increases fury attack by 12%.

I r5ed mine with 0 regrets. He and Void are my best use of resources ever.

Ok thanks! I’m waiting for my next five star (i’m 3k shards away). If I don’t get someone good, I’ll rank up Sabretooth. (or maybe I could rank him up now idk)

Make sure to check out the breakdown I linked early. It'll help you understand how to effectively play him.
