Next 5* R5 or 6* R2 Rank Up Decision

Octoberstack

Elder’s Bane and Cavalier, but in no hurry to explore 6.1 or complete 6.2.

Current day-to-day focus is Map 6 AQ (biohazard + caltrops or poison), chipping away at V2 completion and V3 exploration, and EQ/side quests when they’re up. Potentially starting V1 at some point after some more research.

Only one 5/65 so far (Corvus, sig 20). Running full suicides with one point in Coagulate.

You really have no need to be worrying about 6*s at all especially unduped with just 1 R5

Sentinel would help with both V2 and V3

Hedron

5* Namor to R5 (can awaken with generic AG and take up to 200)

Can help your in V1 and other endgame stuff

I see your point, but I wanted to consider all of my options that would be worthwhile investments for the future. Currently Captain Marvel is my best answer to the 6.2 Sinister should I decide to start a completion run down the line. I do see the benefits of waiting to have her duped however, whether that be as a 5* or 6*

Is Namor resistant to biohazard/caltrops?

From what I've gathered, his sig lets him directly counter a number of relatively niche matchups. I'm definitely tempted to awaken him to make him more sustainable with suicides, but can't seem to pull the trigger as his sig isn't immediately relevant or necessary for me. Admittedly, he'd be helpful in V2 as well as V1, as well as act as a pseudo Havok counter (which I am currently lacking). It's a tough one.

He's resistant in the sense that he can reflect and heal from the debuffs (via Willpower) as long as he's attacking or hitting into block. The latter isn't something I'd like to do with biohazard though. All in all, he's not the perfect champ for those particular nodes but he fares much better than non-immune champs. If I were to awaken and rank him, it wouldn't be with the purpose of running him on biohazard/caltrops.

Go Namor. He's actually a beast for V2 as, at sig 200, any of the glancing damage is put back on the opponent. While he still won't be able to crit or get high on basics, he has that insane burst damage in specials which is the source of his damage anyways. He definitely ain't bad for V3 either. While he may not be as good as Sentinel for V3, he'll help you with more content in the future.

I'll take Namor up first. He is amazing and if you don't have Havok counter, he will do great job against Havok in act 6.

If you use him awakened a lot I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on him!

From the research I've done, it looks like his SP3 passive fury often doesn't activate in V2, as the SP3 hits also seem to be subject to glancing, which is unfortunate.

But I agree, he'd be very helpful across many different types of content, but currently it doesn't feel like his sig is something I immediately need. Being completely honest though, I think my hesitation may partly be stemming from my fear of pulling OR as soon as I awaken Namor. I know I should focus on the champs I have now, and not bank on pulling a single champ sometime in the unknown future, but I'm having trouble making the jump.

@Lvernon15 could I ask why you’d pick CMM over Namor?
