Is Corvus Better Than Everyone?

I may not be the most experienced player or be a whale enough to have a strong arsenal of 5 and 6 stars, but I've got a decent amount of awesome champs, such as Stark Spidey, SS, GR (my only God tier 5 Star), X23 (incredible bleeder), Void (amazing for boss fights), Quake, AEgon (just got him) and more. But in all my playing, none of them are holding a candle to how Corvus and how well he can just clean up in matches.

Is there any other champion that you all have found that is similarly useful?

I think you haven't seen Ghost fight then 😅

@FF10 Not really. I only have a 3 star of her. But that's why I asked the question. To see who else out there is amazing.

Without any special conditions to apply (suicides, certain nodes) or synergy teams, Corvus IMO is the best champion in the game for 90% of the available content.

When certain conditions apply, there are a few other champs that can question him (Quake, Ghost, Omega, Domino). These conditions can be certain nodes, very long fights, full synergy teams, full sig level required, etc.

But generally speaking, if you have him, at any rarity level, max him out without second thoughts.

@Hector_1475 Great points! I do have Quake but she takes a lot of skill to play. I've also found Void amazing for the long fights.

But as I grind through most content, Corvus has been my go-to.

I disagree. Ghost requires at least 1 of the below 3 things to shine:
1. Suicides
2. Full synergy team
3. Nodes that inflict debuffs, which she can convert to Precision buffs.

Corvus needs nothing, although he is benefited by suicides.

Quake is terribly unreliable and depended on AI reactions. If they use heavy, good luck dodging that.

I have an awakened Quake at 5/50 and haven't seen her do what Corvus can do. Granted, I'm not the most skilled with stacking the aftershocks. I don't have a good Ghost so I have no idea.

Honestly i only use ghost with wasp and thats all she needs imo. While her other synergys are useful i dont see them as important as wasp synergy as i want my other 3 spots for other champs. as for suicides i cant say as i dont have them unlocked and i have no plans to unlock them anytime soon.

He is good for short fight.. One those 20 Claive charges ends.. He hit like a baby... Domino looks better if I compare him..

Hector_1475

You do know that if you manage to stay alive long enough, these 20 charges return, right...? Without even awakening him...

This "short fight" thing is the most common misconception about him.

Corvus is great. When you get used to him, you know so well what he can do and what he can't do, for what he can do he is the best, so good that you can play with no fear because he is so reliable.

theMercenary

Idk your current progression in game but You’ll face with anti Corvus nodes and champs in further levels which makes him arguably useless. He is dependent to his charges, if they removed for some reason he’s becoming weak.

His potential strongly decreases in nodes like fisticuffs, pilfer, tranquility etc. if you don’t play smart you’ll be dead in the half of the match in longer fights.

Duke_Silver

Corvus isn’t even the best cosmic champion in the game. I love the guy, but he’s wayyyy overrated. I consider Captain Marvel to be the best cosmic in the game. I’d say that Hype and Medusa can even be better in lots of scenarios. And Ghost reigns supreme no question.

Octoberstack

Firstly it's very difficult to state that any one champion is 'better than everyone'.

For what he is as a standalone champ, Corvus is arguably one of the best. He definitively does have his counters which render him ineffective, but then again so does everyone else (to varying degrees). He's by no means the answer to everything, but he is usually the most effective and convenient choice when he is.

One of the most common arguments against Corvus is that he's only effective in shorter fights, but this particular argument fails to acknowledge Corvus' capacity to reliably turn longer fights into short fights that he can handle (given he has enough charges). Of course, this is true only to a certain extent, as health pools only start to grow larger throughout endgame content.

One of his best assets is arguably his very reliable armour break on parry, which also triggers an additional armour break per armour up buff on the opponent. This effectively dispatches of annoying defender mechanics such as KM's reverberation, Emma's diamond form, Red Skull's armour up stacks, Mysterio's helmet, Iceman's Ice armour, BPCW's stun reflection - the list goes on. It also has interesting interactions with armour-based nodes like Explosive Personality, which is fun.

His awakened ability is also very handy, allowing Corvus to cheat death fight after fight, with careful play. This combined with his unique set of Glaive immunities (Bleed, Coldsnap, Shock) and the fact that he great benefits (and heals) from suicides, means you have a very well-rounded, high-potential champ that you can always rely on to dish out significant damage before going down.

Blade used to be the go to Top champ, now its Corvus.

Hector_1475

@Octoberstack 's description on his abilities is absolutely perfect. Spot-on.

-sixate-

Take Corvus into LOL for exploration. He's not even a top 20 candidate for that. He's great and easily one of the top champs in the game, but all champs have a weakness. It's all about what champ suits your play style the best. I prefer Ghost, but not everyone does. She has a unique play style and requires synergies. But she sucks against certain champs, Sinister and Maw in particular, and there are a few others as well.

I'm a Ghost Player myself and Ghost needs none of those with just skill. I dont have suicides. I dont hace any synergy champion. No nodes to damaging debuffs are needed and they are converted to passive fury not precision. All you need is to get the opponent in the corner, 3 heavys and straight into sp2.

Arham1

I used to be a corvus fan and still use him. But since i got Ghost and Namor. He's now the 3rd best Champion. But that's my opinion.

I’m kind disagree with she doesn’t need sucide for me she does it all who your are and I’m find one she need the most is hood if you using sucide many said wasp is the most need but with skil you can play arund that as you said but can’t play around if vs a medusa with 3 furv if you mis time your sp. but Agerd with anything els

You are absolutely, positively, definitely wrong about everything you just said. First of all, I have a 4* R4 Ghost that I use all the time with no suicides and no synergies for all content. If you want, I will post some gameplay of her destroying this month's Uncollected EQ. R4 4*...
from someone that just beat the Collector for the first time... YESTERDAY!!! I also have a R5 Corvus and R5 Quake. I love Corvus, he's great. That's why I R5ed him. But take him into content with high health pools or against any champs or nodes that nullify and he automatically becomes a trash champ, and while he counters a lot, Quake and Ghost counter more. Speaking of Quake, it is 100% possible to dodge every single heavy attack in this game with her (other than maybe Masacre and M.O.D.O.K, haven't checked, someone let me know if you can). Absolutely none of her play style depends on AI, it depends on your skill, which you must be lacking in if you're hating on Ghost and Quake.

Etjama

I personally judge a champ based on how much content they can handle, how many nodes they can counter and how many champs they can counter. Because of that, I think the 2 best champs in the game atm are Ghost and Quake in the right hands. Corvus is great, don't get me wrong. He's definitely up there with the best. But as far as Cosmics go, I think CMM and Hype can counter more champions and deal with more nodes and content. That being said, everything's situation dependant and in many situations, Corvus will be the best option.

I don't think he's hating on Quake or Ghost - he's just expressing that in his opinion, Corvus ranks higher than Ghost or Quake.

Regardless of whether or not I agree, I can see where he's coming from. Fluid Ghost gameplay without at least the Wasp synergy can be difficult to master (kudos to you if you can pull it off fight after fight). On the other hand, Corvus is far less reliant on synergies.

Quake is also similarly non-reliant on synergies, and I do regard her as one of the top champs in the champs. However, there are two arguments you could feasibly make against in the Quake-Corvus debate:

- fights last longer (on average) with Quake = more time to make mistakes
- mistakes are more costly with Quake (due to CG's cheat death mechanic)
- it is easier to pull off a full path clear with Corvus than with Quake, simply due to the fact that mastering Quake and playing her perfectly fight-to-fight is very difficult

Of course, all of the above issues are completely irrelevant if you happen to be a perfect or near-perfect Quake player. But some people aren't, and Corvus is a fantastic 'pick up and go' champ who unreservedly remains one of the best options for recurring content such as EQ and Map 5/6 AQ.

As a quick side note, in regards to your comment regarding CG being a 'trash champ' against high health pools - at 5r5 (particularly with suicides), he's still effective even across Act 6, and can rip through a good 75-80% of 6.1 completion with relative ease.

Nojokejaym

Nope there is no one champ that’s better than the rest, it all depends on the situation

Etjama

Yeah, I've gotcha @Octoberstack. I'm just very defensive about Ghost and Quake 😂. I'll have to admit that Corvus is a lot more user-friendly. But if you can master Quake and Ghost, they can counter so much, some more than Corvus imo. Not trying to underestimate Corvus, glad to hear he can deal with a lot of Act 6.

Hendross

Good news everyone! You don't have to choose a single best champ. Now you can have them all in the SAME team.

Quake is dependant on AI reactions?? Thats the complete opposite my dude, her auto evade is the antiAI move and everyone I know who is a master quake player says that AI doesnt matter. Ghost doesnt need suicides to shine and def doesnt need it more than corvus. Ghost also doesnt require full synergy team although hood is amazing and wasp allows you to throw your sp2 without much timing if you didnt have her. She also doesnt require to fight an opponent in lets say biohazard to shine. I think your bias is coming in the way of objectively viewing the 3 champions.
