Human Torch: Worth a Class Awakening Gem?

10or_Strong

I'm wondering if Human Torch is worth a science awakening gem? I understand his sig ability, and I find it useful on my main account, but I just got him as one of the first 5*s on my alt account. I have a science gem and no other 5* science champs, with 5*s still quite rare on that account. I just finished my initial pass through Act 4 and am starting to both explore Act 4 and work towards Uncollected.

Don't use a gem to awaken him; sig not worth a gem

His sig is very useful on paths where you will continuously use human torch over and over, in which case if you use his pre-fight ability in the first battle, you can subsequently get back his pre-fight ability through the next few battles. However, i think its quite likely you'll only use his pre fight ability on the final boss or something, so i dont think its worth the gem, you can afford to let him be naturally duped.

Use science gem but not stones

Use science gem and available sig stones

I’ll awake my 5* R3 Human Torch in the first opportunity. He’s one of the best champs in the game now. Probably you'll only use his pre fight ability on the final boss or in the hard fights. You can nearly use him everywhere in the game. Especially in Abyss and the variants. Use your awakening gem and few stones or you can wait for dupe from crystals. It’s definitely worth it. You won’t regret it.

Tough call. HT was my first 5* R4, and I've put a ton of mileage on him. I was lucky to dupe him a month ago and it was a huge help in finally exploring Act5. I would typically use him with flame-on early in a quest for a tough matchup, then against all mystics which would get the rekindle lit along the way for the boss fight. You can plan ahead to do the same in AQ / AW.

The upside is that he's valid for a ton of content you have in front of you on that account.

Your call of course, but there no "bad decision" either way.

Any type of Champion that has the new Build-Up Attack system always benefit greatly from Awaken plus multiple Signature Levels. He's my favorite Science-Class for his fiery modules although I only have him as 3-Star after recently pulling 4-Star Invisible Woman from the Mole Man Expedition Special Event Quest.

Thanks everyone for the additional input on this old post. I had ended up using the gem on my secondary account HT and he's now at R4. The ability to potentially use that pre-fight ability multiple times in some of the tougher quests definitely comes in handy.
