R5 or R2 three champs, which ones should I do first ?

Juan3sJuan3s Member Posts: 92
I can R5 or R2 three champs (iso and some t4 basics are still needed, but that won’t take long), still trying to figure out who. Options are below.(All the 6 stars are unduped)

Context: currently cavalier, but haven’t started 6.2 or explored 6.1, completed but not explored variant 4. Immediate future: looking for champs to help me explore ch6 and rest of variants, as well as aw and aq attack.

In the past, I have typically used some combo of blade (4/55), GR(4/55), SL (4/55), 4* AA, 6* sentinel, and Angela (6* R2) in attack teams (these champs made up my team for most of 6.1) Most of those options (besides blade) listed to potentially rank up I have pulled in the last 2 months so all progress was typically made with my other champs, and I am looking for a bit of a revamp to my roster. My only current R5 5* or R2 6* is Angela.

    OR if high sig, Guilly and Venom.

    All three of those cover interesting aspects that can be beneficial.

    OR is currently sig120, but he could go higher if I want to rank him up and stuff.

    What specific aspects did you have in mind when you said OR, g2099, and Venom?

    OR covers DOT effects that aren't Bleed or Poison, meaning that enemies that are immune to either of those will still take a substantial amount of damage relatively easily. He's also Poison immune and can be bleed immune with a point in Coagulate. His mediums are also non-contact in some aspects, bypassing things like Electros static shock.

    G2099 cannot Crit, meaning enemies that benefit when a Crit occurs lose that benefit, such as Mr Sinister, she also gains an armour up which is useful against Havok. She can power drain and heal reverse also. Plus ramped up her damage is great. Also has a heal, and double immune.

    Venom is great against Spidey verse, as long as he has his Klyntar buff they cannot evade. He can cause Bleeds, and his SP1 can nom some buffs. He gains true strike when enemies are low on HP. He also has a lot of buffs as well, which can benefit from nodes that require buff heavy champs, much like your Angela. Out of the three he's the one that you could replace with any of your other champs in ranking up, in which case I would suggest SS instead for nullifying lots of buffs.

    Essentially OR and G2099 are the two main ones I'd rank up, with Venom being a choice that you can take or replace with anyone else, and SS being a close 4th.

    Omega red doesn't have "noncontact" attacks, please read his abilities. Also guillotine 2099 can crit with one of her prefights active.

    OR doesn't have non contact attacks, but his tentacle attacks also don't trigger things like Static Shock or Korgs Rock Hard Thorns, hence the "non contact IN SOME ASPECTS" because they don't trigger those passive contact damage effects.

    G2099 CAN Crit with her prefight, but that does not detract that she can counter enemies that benefit from being critically hit. It doesn't make that point any less prevelant, especially when you can choose not to use it.

    I feel like you're arguing for the sake of arguing.

    Thanks for your thorough answer. Those are very good things to think about. Thank you!

    OR for sure, he covers so much ground that it’d be criminal not to have him as high as possible.

    Guilly2099 she can really wreck a lot of endgame content.

    Third slot venom or Longshot.
    I have a r2 venom and he is great. I have a r5 Longshot and he is one of my top 5 favorite champs to play. And he’s great. But SS if you dont have a good replacement for him.

    So...what would you say about omega red's interaction with magik's limbo? Variant 2 glancing? Or spiked armor?

    And y'know, it's better to at least let the OP know that critting with guilly 2099 IS possible, but under stringent scenarios.

    I'm sure that OP has a basic grasp of being able to read what G2099 is capable of, if they considered taking them to R2. Your point is moot.

    I feel like I need more info here about these interactions listed. while I am pretty familiar with all these champs (I do know g2099 can Crit if you choose to activate that ability) but most of this champs are still relatively new to me (as prev. stated, most champs were pulled in the last month) so I don’t know ins and outs of all scenarios, as I just haven’t had the time with all of them needed.

    Also, I took a break for about a year and a half, so I’m having to figure out all these “new” champs at once, which has been a chore to say the least. Also OR is probably the one I am least familiar with as I have had him the least amount of time, but have liked him so far and have heard good things so I was considering ranking him up all the way.

    @Juan3s omega red basically doesn't take damage on his tentacle Hits (in simple terms). In his abilities description it stated that his "tentacles hits reduce 100% of damage you would take when striking an opponent that would deal damage when struck" can't remember the exact way it's stated but enemy abilities that trigger when struck and make you take any of passive damage are negated. Magik's limbo deals 0 damage when you trigger it by striking her with your tentacles before she fills a bar of power, electroshock is nothing, Korg, havok's plasma detonation, spiked armor damage, thorns, psychic thorns (you'll take no damage but won't get the heal, since omega red's tentacles hits ARE NOT noncontact), variant 2 glancing, etc.I'm probably missing a few, but these are the ones I can remember. So you negate these abilities that would make you take (passive) damage when you're struck with your mediums, their heavies, and some special hits (in other words, your tentacle attacks).
    Cheers!

    Don't rank up your six stars until you have a solid roster of maxed five stars, provided that you have legit five star options. As you have one champ at that level and your five star options are great, your focus should definitely be on those five stars.

    Your goal should be to max as many good champions as possible and the extra amount of resources that ranking six stars costs are devastating at your current position in the game.

    That said, start with Omega red. He's great and your best option as far as I'm concerned. For second and third rank up, I would decide between Archangel and Blade. You don't need to rank up Guilly for V3 as you have a six star Sentinel along with a R4 Star lord. Those three at those ranks will definitely be able to explore V3.

    Omega and Archangel will help you explore V2 along with Venom and Sentinel so ranking up Omega followed by Archangel is not a bad idea.
