5* Warlock or Corvus to R5

harbinger77

I have been lucky with some recent 5* pulls. I almost have enough resources to R5 A champ and I’m pretty sure I want to go with either Warlock or Corvus (Both Are unduped). I don’t have much experience playing either, so I could really use some advice. I could also R5 a duped Medusa, but from what I read it looks like warlock or Corvus have more utility. I also like their immunities. I’m already Cavalier, so they will be for AW/AQ and monthly events. I do not run suicides.

That is a very tough choice, both are great for aw and aq. I'd say if you run suicides then go with corvus cause then you'll just be smashing everything with his damage, but if not Warlock is a solid option too. Warlock does also have more utility so theres that to keep in mind.

I have both awakened at r5..what I would say is that neither need the sig and I'd go with who you like more. Warlock is probably more useful in the current end game chapters like 6.2 & 6.3, but CG is useful for everything before esp if you need to go for explorations. CG s also still a boss for completing EQs each month and bypasses so much wit his glaive charges. Ive notcied a lot of EMP modification nodes lately too which punish Warlock and other robots. I also think CG is better currently in war (I'm only in gold so take that with a pinch of salt...except vs maw of course) , and equally as useful as Warlock in AQ.

Edit: also should point out that bot are good with suicides as robots don't bleed/get poisoned, and CG is immune with his charges, but from a champion perspective CG also benefits more from the r5 because of his limited number of charges at the start of a fight - the more damage you can get in the first 20+hit the better when using him and being at R5 makes it more likely you end a fight within that hit frame vs having to wait for charges to reset.

Warlock would have no such limitation and so could stay at r4 until you can carry him out.
