I'll try to keep this as short as possible here,

Me and my mates were arguing again about who is the better champ between these 2 Mystics.

I've heard convincing arguments for both but in the end we can't come to a conclusion as a whole.

So I leave it over to the public.
Also if you could leave your reasons why, it would be much appreciated!

Also I have both and I have a 3 - 4 gem and this will help me decide who to use it on.

    Depends on what your roster needs, DM has all the advantages of being a robot so if you need that then you might want to consider him. However without any context of your roster I'd go Tigra

    I don't need an immunity champ as I have ghost.
    But I do want to use the rank up gem though

    I've been practicing with her, it's hard but I get better after each while. I can definitely see the damage with those red numbers.

    Dragon man is just easier to play though and also has good damage

    Hmm seems like the Results are clear, Tigra has a pretty health advantage

    I have both, dragon man is kindda tech champion (robot) with cosmic abilities (power gain/fury) in mystic class without nullify/stagger abilities. Tigra is mystic by excellence

    Tigra
    I have both at R5, Tigra is probably going
    To be one of the best champs in the entire game in a year or so. Tigra has excellent utility.

    The issue with dragon man is he offers immunities , but doesn’t interact with buffs like a true mystic. On my eyes this hurts his standing. I use him all
    The time but just for fun. Also he is good for slowing champs that aren’t science.

    Tigra can evade so many difficult to dex specials and is fun to play too.

    Also to be fair to each champ , you aren’t really ranking those two champs up that compete with one another.

    If you want a good mystic , you can’t go wrong. But you aren’t really comparing apples to apples.

    The most objective way I can put it.

    Dragon man sucks as a mystic character , he has no way to interact with buffs , and when he faces the tougher cosmic champs he won’t shine, and really won’t check a box for you on your roster other than immunity. Damage is there of course

    Tigra - For most people and is a crappy option because the skill required is probably something you won’t put the time into, because it’s a long road ahead. But... you don’t have to get sexy with it. If you see a cosmic champ, you can parry heavy and counter your way through a fight. The skill comes to really see that damage. Tigra will check a box for you.

    Tigra is much better, but Dragon man is more fun.

    Why do you say he has not way to interact with buffs?

    Honestly, I adore Dragon Man. I’m going to take my 5* to R5 if I don’t get the 6* from the next featured crystal. He just has so much utility.

    Double immunities, deals with delirium, access to incinerate, reduces the potency of buffs, can go unblockable and unstoppable, goes complete god mode afte SP3’s, can counter diss track and buffed up

    All that, plus his power gain. It’s basically like Hyperion’s, and that is what makes Hyperion so good. Special intercepts for days and reaching specials without hitting is massive. Not to mention with the sig ability he reduces the effectiveness of regen and power gain fairly heftily, with the potency doubling against cosmics, making him a great Hyperion counter at a decently high sig

    Oh yeah, and he can access slow. You know, what is widely considered to be the best debuff in the game.

    Such an underrated champ, and the damage isn’t half bad. Tigra’s great, and I’ve seen some stupidly impressive things with her, plus she’s only going to gain value as more projectile specials are released, but I wanted to make the case for Dragon Man here

    Don't forget the burst damage after you've stacked a bunch of incinerates. Parry heavy and watch them explode.

    Because he can’t, he deals with fury , armor ups and cruelties. He reduces the potency of those buffs , but he can’t interact with a debuff like a mystic can, nullify , stagger, rupture. Maybe interaction is the wrong choice of words. Mystics are known for controlling the fight which dragon man does not.

    His signature ability passively reduces regen potency and power gain potency, this is okay but caps at 35%.

    Tigra has probably the highest skill cap in the entire game (unless you count heavy only quake style). She will be useless for almost every player in the game. She *can* do amazing things, but almost nobody can actually do them.

    I'd say reducing buff potency is interacting with them. You mean to say he can nullify them.

    Can’t speak on Tigra but took my awakened 6s DM to rank 2. Awesome. His power gain is great. Spam specials all day. Can slow the defender. Triple immunities. Easy rotation. Gains fury. Incinerates defender. Has Cornered mechanic that deals extra damage and controls power. Super fun to play.
