Walk with me #1: 6* generic AG decision!

Decided I’ll start doing this mini series, instead of asking who to rank, I’ll take you through my entire thought process 
So first thing I’ll give my back ground
Alliance war : Silver
Alliance AQ : 5x5
Prestige : 12795
AOL: 100%
Act 6 : 100%
Act 7 : 100%
Variants: 100%
Current R3 : Domino; apoc, CGR , Spiderham, invisible woman, ghost , Elsa bloodstone, doom.
So, I have a 6* generic AG that I earned from 100% AOL.
Pulled a red goblin and also pulled a Spiderham both will be R3 in the next week.
Spiderham: So I have looked at spiderhams ability and it actually increases his spider nonsense charge by 2 seconds. That seems pretty low , but when I think about falcon with dupe and without dupe , it actually is a lot longer to get those poppers to refresh more consistently, it functions without it . Sig required 150+
Red goblin: If I use a generic AG into him, that means I am stone committed, and at signature level 1 my fury damage will only increase by 110 points. At max sig it’s closer to a 2600 increase.
All content is done , so I’m asking myself why are you in a rush to use an AG when you don’t need to. The answer really is, it allows me to make this game fun , and holding on to more resources just is not fun and causes me to get enticed by newer champs . If they are R3 I should be okay using my AG.
When I’m thinking about cav difficulty it’s not that pressing to rank a champ up for it. Any new content that comes I have the roster already. So I’m not ranking for utility or damage anymore.
I looked at my roster , and realized I don’t have a R3 champ that is just fun to play , and can do a little bit of everything. I found that I could still get the damage off with spiderham , so for defense I would have , but I’m in silver tier wars , so it won’t matter much.
Red goblin! Not the greatest , but you know what? I can , because I don’t have anything else to accomplish In game and I’m not waiting around for any particular champ. I’ll dupe them eventually, and red goblin benefits significantly more than spiderham!
Cheers ! Let me know how your process typically goes

To Jump on the other side, agree with you wanting to take up a champion you enjoy. But a 6 star awakening gem is rare, in fact it’s only available in abyss. You should really need to consider this
if not then yeah idk Red Goblin Is a nice one imo
But I guarantee you next year, another AG will be on the way. But , I’ll save . Just my thought process is all
My roster is not flashy , but we get the job done. The truth is there aren’t many more champs who is game changing for me. Also, I found the less resources you have the less attractive those cav crystals start to look.
I’m actually sitting on 3 generic 5* gems I thought I would use. I come to learn that the resources always come back.
This is just my thought process.
I have some other ones coming as well:
Why I’m taking dragonman to R3
Why I took my vision to R2
Why I dumped all my stones into apoc
Why Elsa bloodstone beat out NT and Ronin.
Just to talk everyone through my process.
Sooo I'd say just go with whoever you really want to awaken, it's not going to make any difference to what you're currently getting out of the game besides adding some more fun if you really enjoy those champs.
The only reason for 'you' to hold onto it is if there is some 6* you really want and having them awakened will be a must for you to enjoy using them.
Different needs for different people 🤷♂️
But fr I think I might take mine to r3 as well now, but still deciding since he's not the most suicide friendly....so we will see
I thought he was suicides friendly because he eats up the recoil and heals from it . I played with him all around the battle realm and it just doesn’t feel satisfying to play him. Although I did get WS down in 90 hits with the right RNG
That’s exactly where I am now. I’m now the old man that use to be pretty good at basketball, and although I can’t run like I use to, my 3 point technique is still there for these young bucks.
But I don’t play in the paint anymore, I pass and avoid physical contact.
In all seriousness, it got too demanding so I just hAve fun messing around. Definitely a good way to put it . Thanks for the encouragement
I’m sitting on my generic AG from abyss too. I should put it into my r3 Nick Fury, but I just don’t want to. I don’t find him fun to play. He’s amazing and all, but he’s not fun. All I have left in the game is some 7.1 exploration.
Anyway, like some people said if you’re going to keep popping featured 6* it may benefit you to wait so you don’t use the gem and immediately dupe him. Otherwise, go to town.
Spider-Ham I’m not that familiar with but again I don’t think it’s a must have for the champion.
Personally I would save it however, if you love playing Roblin (which I understand as I have a duped 6* R2) then once this batch of featured is over and if you haven’t duped him naturally or pulled someone who’s awakened ability is integral to their core abilities then use it on him then.
Judging by the fact that your running 5x5 I’m guessing prestige isn’t a factor so I personally say don’t rush into using something which (outside of competition prizes) is currently a unique item in the game at this stage
I took Venom to r3 over Corvus because I really like playing Venom and I really don’t like playing Corvus. I’m not going to pretend Corvus isn’t a great champ.
