The skill class is full of great champs, so I wonder: with the current meta, who would make your top X skill champs?
The "X" stands for whichever number you please. If you wanna post top 3, do so. If you feel like you need longer list, post it as you like.

Awakened:
Nick
Aegon
Stealthy
Unawakened:
Stealthy
Ronin
Gwenpool, probably.
I don’t think you can pick between them, they both shine in different content. I would maybe give the edge to Nick but I understand picking AEgon
Next is either Stealthy or Hit Monkey. Hit Monkey isn’t widely available yet so it’s kind of difficult to judge, but I could see him just going above Stealthy
Then it’s definitely Killmonger. Easily one of the most underrated champions in the game
After that it’s either Night Thrasher or Blade.
Never played Fury as I haven't even pulled a 3*
2-Elsa Bloodstone - she is kinda purifying debuffs and fun champ to play with especially her gunshot is fun
3-Kill Monger- Faster power gain on suicides and his sp1 and sp2 come handy in hard times
Aegon (don't have him as a 5*,don't like him much but won't deny that he is the go to for LoL and AoL)
Elsa Bloodstone
Don’t like Elsa and not got into stealthy yet.
I have a soft spot for taskmaster so will start maxing his sig when I’ve finished NT.
Nick fury
Aegon
Blade is not as useful for endgame whereas the above 3 are especially stealthy because of his raw damage on crits.... Crits crits and more crits with sick utility to stop those annoying evade champs and those unstoppable pebbles out there.
Aegon, Nick and Stealthy.
Who I personally enjoy more playing is
Blade, NT and Gwenpool.
Stealthy
I have all 3 at 5/65
Fury is always on my team
Aegon for act 6 stuff
Stealthy when needed.
I'll only judge based on the 5* champs I have as Skill.
Aegon NF and Stealthy are the top 3 overall.
Ronin I really enjoy. Blade is still great but not as useful as he was.
Korg can be fun with Synergies but he's not great. Same with Thor Rag.
NT I've heard is good but honestly I have better options for what he can do.
Gwenpool is great when awakened for tanking SP3, but it's rare that you need someone to take SP3 hits intentionally (looking at Nameless Thanos UCEQ).
WS can be great with KM synergy (I don't have KM as a 5 or 6* though)
Everyone else is just kind of... Meh.
As for the champs I don't have as a 5*, I can't really comment since I rarely use 4* or below unless I'm forced to, or unless they've been ranked up for arena grinds only.
Also he looks sick
Aegon
Nick
Stealthy
Ronin
Blade
You’ll need to learn to quickly punish specials. By that I mean, quicker that you normally would. You’ll get a long true strike from that. That’s really the only specific thing you need to know, but knowing when to utilise his indestructible and counterpunch is key.
You can use his counterpunch charged to punish almost every special attack in the game, and indestructible really needs no explanation why it’s useful
@Lvernon15 has a great video on using his counterpunches mainly, but it has some other good tips.
You’re 50 bleed stacks off the SP3 aren’t going to be used in most fights, but it’s important to learn to judge whether it’s best to go for an SP2 or SP3 to close the match. That’s obviously matchup dependent, but use those bleeds as your ‘finishing move’. You don’t need to have 50
What I will say is that don’t be expecting huge crits or massive bleeds, especially unawakened. A lot of his damage is tied up in a high sig, but don’t let that put you off. I took my 6* to R3 unawakened and I don’t regret it.
He’s not going to be the quickest option for fights, but a lot of the time, he’s the most safe and effective option for a wide range of fights, and that’s where his true value lies.
Oh, and he’s super tanky, with one of the highest health pools, extra base armour and crit resistance, on top of his indestructible charges. And don’t be afraid to intercept, his animations make it very smooth
Enjoy!
2nd: Aegon
Explanation:(this analogy is not mine, it's KT1s) Think of it this way. Nick and Aegon are both amazing supercars. The difference between them is that nick is street legal. You can drive nick to the grocery store. You can use him to pick up your kids from school. He can do a lot of things amazingly. Aegon on the other hand, is not street legal. You can only bring him to the racetrack once every couple of months. He's slightly faster and better there, but you can't use him like you can use nick.
Every other skill champ is miles beneath them.
3rd best: stealthy. He has lots of utility and very high damage
4th best: NT with high sig
5th best: Hit-Monkey? or maybe blade
That makes a total of 130% of a life bar.
There are champs with bigger health pools definitely.
For example Ultron has 150% of a life bar.
Let alone if we count in infinite regen capable champs like Blade, Rogue, Wolverine etc.
Aegon
NF
Stealthy
Blade
