Corvus still useful in act 6?

I pulled 5 star Corvus the other day. He was a champ that had eluded me for so long so I made due without him. I didn’t even get the 4 star version until after I had became uncollected. Now that I’m cavalier how useful will he be in 6.2 and above?
Presently my top 5 star champs are R5 CMM awakened, R5 quake, R4 sig 200 aegon, R4 sig 100 Doom, R4 BWCV, R4 Sig 80 domino, R4 thing and AA
And in my 6 stars I’ve got Warlock and Havok along with a few meh 6 stars

So is it worth ranking up Corvus at this time or shall I R2 warlock and R5 Aegon first

    He’s amazing in 6.1/2, and is great in 6.3/4 if you’re running suicides or boosting up

    Corvus was my MVP for 6.1 and 6.2. Aegon took over as my MVP for 6.3 and 6.4, but I still used Corvus, especially for evade/autoblock fights with Proxima synergy.

    To follow up here, aside from about 3-4 paths, I used suicides throughout act 6 - all of it. Looking at your champs (Aegon, Corvus, BWCV, Quake) you would benefit hugely from suicides.

    As a non-suicide user I have never found him especially useful to be honest unless I’m boosted. In my roster he’s for AQ and occasionally AW. I like him for MEQ too to be fair.
    In Act 6 I never really felt that he was worth the ramp up - past 6.1 the first fight would be 2-3 rotations of his charges and even with 1-2 charges rarely would he close out the fight unless I’m being very careful with doing ML even just L combos which for me defeated the point in having a bursty champion. Now if you slap suicides on he becomes far more viable and you have a lot of suicide friendly champions ranked up so it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing, but you need to make the decision in your roster about what is more important because it essentially boils down to getting your CG to perform as a 10/10 but turning Doom into a 7/10, for example. If you’re happy with the trade offs like that then it’s something to consider.

    Thanks for the advice guys. I’ll wait till I’ve unlocked suicides before I bring him up past R3. I plan To unlock suicides after cyber Monday. I need to see how many units I have left after it
