First 5-star Rank-5 => Hyperion or Omega Red?

souma

Both are awakened and have 100 sigs
I don't use suicide masteries.

Omega Red

Depends on what content you're working on. It would be an easy decision on Omega if you ran Suicides.

Sorry for stupid question but I saw this few times already.. what means ‘To run suicides’?

No plans for running suicides. Omega works best with suicides. Hyperion works great even without any synergies.

Omega Red

Certain masteries that inflict damage to your own champs in return for more damage output from your champs

Running suicides = Using suicides masteries. check out some YouTube videos on suicide masteries.

If u dont use suicides do not rank omega. I have both and hype is the guy for u if u don't run suicides. If u plan on getting them in the future then maybe do omega but without suicides hes just not the same, i have both and have turn suicides on and off depending, usually off, its a huge difference for him

Capatom

I don't have omega so I didnt vote on who is better ,but Hyperion is an absolute beast at r5 helps me a ton in war against korgs and imiw and act 6.. will help you in variants as well but if labrynth is next on your list may be omega is better . every one rates omega very high the only thing I have against him is suicides ..you will have to build your team around suicides.

Agree. I have no plans for running suicides in near future.
Thanks

Hyperion

Hyperion is a great champ. Can do massive damage quickly, doesn't need synergies, suicides, or mission, no ramp up. He just destroys. I use mine all the time.

Omega Red

Both are beasts but Omega has more going for him.

Hyperion

I think Omega is good with or without the Suicides but without suicides Hyperion is probably the best choice.

Omega Red

Omega does benefit a ton from suicides though.

Me and 27 other people are fully serious Omega is one of my Favorites and I use him without suicides but I think Hyperion is the better choice.

Omega Red

Easy poll
Omega Red: Perfect for Suicide Mastery
Hyperion: Bad for Suicide Mastery
No suicide mastery go hyp

Hyperion

Pros:
- not reliant on synergies
- massive damage output
- regen on command
- near perpetual power gain
- safe for half suicides (LC and spam SP3)

Cons:
- tricky on stun immune opponents and rage nodes
- isnt bleed immune
- buff nullify effects or spite nodes will be troublesome

Omega Red

Pros:
- Literally melts opponents through
proximity
- Life and power steal (more than 50% health on full 30 spores from SP3)
- 90% damage reduction on bleeds and triggers Death Field
- spore degen immune to AAR
- unblockable tentacle attacks (hi Japan!)
- safe to use for spite nodes, and just lovely to place on a close encounters node

Cons:
- suicides needed for FULL potential
- partially relies on synergies (Void, Sabretooth)

Thanks for comment and I agree with your points. I don't use hence hyperion it is.
