CMM, Hype and Corvus? I’ve yet to hear a detailed comparison.
I appreciate not many people have him yet, but I’m guessing some forum regulars do.

Remember when cull was released? Everyone thought he was too broken, that he's better than corvus... Nowadays he's hardly used!
And I'm cautios since the ccp videos usually really focus on damage output, when damage is not everything!

He is pretty great. Still getting used to him, but he is a lot of fun and packs quite the punch. Trying not to dex is pretty annoying, but besides that he is great.
CMM - don’t have her as a 5 or 6* so not going to compare.
Hype - CGR is all around better than him, IMHO. Except where you need Hype’s specific utility (powergain and poison immune). CGRs buildup is more natural and has less RNG. While Hype can probably kill faster in a lot of situations, CGR will take out high health opponents much faster.
Corvus - Corvus will still reign supreme. His utility is just too important. That and a simple way to access all his damage. CGR will probably be preferable in very high health fights, but besides that Corvus is still the #1 spot.
1. Corvus
2. CGR
3. Hype
Furthermore, CMM can literally do 2 comboes into an SP 2 at the start of pretty much any fight. About 90%+ of healthpools in the game instantly get ruined. Corvus doesn't have free power.
In fights where CMM can't end with a single SP 2, she can still maintain binary and throw more specials as you want. In those healthpools, corvus will struggle and lose his charges, them you'll be dancing around for quite a fair amount of time to get them back.
So, CMM can handle basically every healthpool in the game, and has a very adaptable playstyle as well.
2. CGR and CMM
3. Hyperion
I find CGR and CMM very similar in regards to access to big damage and both have their own set of utility.
And once he's used his glaive charges he has to rest - CMM can keep going forever never slowing down. Smh.
1) CGR is the most fun to play
2) His rotation gives him quick access to damage, quicker than CMM & not RNG reliant like Hyperion
3) He has better utility than CMM & Hyperion, access to Mystic-like capabilities like Power Lock & Fate Seal
4) Hype's Power Gain & regen are really potent, & those give him excellent durability
Imo Hype = CGR > CMM
I wonder if CGR can take the title of best non-suicide Cosmic from Hype? I dont have him so I cant judge
Concerning passive degen nodes, you can play less carefully with CMM contrary to corvus. I did map 6 for the first time today, and took both degen and starburst paths. Fights were ending in like 5 seconds, and I didn't throw specials or take a single tick of damage. The only items I spent were on my quake against the Nova miniboss.
