Havok uses

So I just pulled havok as a 6* and I never even had him as a 5*. He looks super fun and I love that he counters himself, but I have heard great stuff about him since he came out. How often do end game players actually use him, should he be worthy of ranking up, and what particular uses does he have in end game content?

Right now he is useful in those side quests shock paths

I have mine at R4. I never use him, I’ve never had a reason to. Only got 4 paths of abyss to go. He’s a great champ undoubtedly, but I do believe he’s overrated, and vastly by some members of the community (Looking at you Etjama).

He’s definitely worth levelling up as a 6*. I used him for 1 cheese path in 6.4. Don’t know if he’s the best option for it but he is an option, which is a blessing in act 6.

It kind of depends on the rest of your roster and where you’re at.

i used to use him alot before. he might be one of the best against Ht due to his incinerate immunity. HT is not good against him because of energy based attacks thus increasing his smoulders charges.

Ah yes...
@Rockypantherx is to havok, as @Masterpuff is to Stealthy.

He is the best option for variant 4 electro. Medium, light, bait special, watch plasma detonations do the job for you!

Amazing champion. Took mine to R5. Severely overlooked by about... 1? Member of the community? (Looking at you Rockypantherx.)

The key difference being I’m right.

WhatElse

I'm actually also curious to know how useful Havok really is.
I've R2 my 6* (awakened) and I have actually 2 mutant t5cc (plus 60% of a 3rd one). I thought about R3 him for prestige but I still haven't seen a area where he shines more than other incinerate immune / energy damage dealers in the game.

I’m not a huge havoc fan but he is good.

Thank you for illustrating me point so beautifully

I needed to include the x. That comment was formal, not friendly. 😂

Use him on Energy Adoption nodes... Plasma Detonation after Detonation after Detonation

Havok is a really good champ. High damage from feedback and sp3. Also good for energy adoption nodes.

Magrailothos

Havok has great damage; but also really good utility - Power Gain, non-contact hits (useful on defense); Incinerate immunity; very high energy resistance; he reduces critical hit damage; and has a coping mechanism to help deal with Power Lock.

He's got two unique forms of DoT, in the form of Plasma Detonates and Plasma Feedback - both are valuable.

Havok can utilise Energy DoT effects (Shock or Coldsnap; doesn't matter if they're debuffs or passives) to rapidly generate Plasma; which lets you do this:

You can play a similar trick against Claire Voyant by baiting Heavy attacks, which inflict tiny bleeds. These also generate Feedback debuffs.

Plasma Feedback is effective against all kinds of opponents with resistances, like robots, Thing, Korg, Colossus, Emma Frost.
They deal more damage when shrugged off; so he's good against most skill shruggers except Taskmaster. He's my go-to champ to handle Korgs on defense.

I'm not an 'Endgame' player myself, but Havok is also useful and very effective against nodes like Diss Track, Polka-dot Power, Safeguard and Life Cycle.

I just pulled him as a 5-star from a Skill/Mutant crystal. He seems like he's a worthwhile champion, but the problem is that Mutant class is so stacked that using Mutant T4cc on him is not a no-brainer anymore.

I have Act 6 exploration to tackle, and although he 'could' be useful, it seems like holding onto my mutant class catalysts in the hopes of pulling Prof X, Magneto, or Apocalypse is the smarter thing to do. Magneto especially seems to be touted as a great counter for many of Act 6. I have Namor and Gambit on the backburner as well, and they seem like they could handle some good content for me.

I do have a 6-star Wasp that Havok gives a great synergy for, but I am not confident in Wasp's low health pool against Act 6, and so ranking up Havok for that doesn't seem like the right thing for me.

I have havok at r3 6* and use him a ton for war attacker . T1 wars vrs top5 alliances

MaxGaming
