Colossus, quick question?

Ksp_2099

I generally use colossus with omega red synergy.
But as present contents need more diversity.
I don't want to use omega red as my 5th member in team because I don't run suicides.
Is Collosus still great with damage without omega red?
Thank you

Dude he is definitely a great investment even without that synergy, the only thing is it might take you an extra special to get through the fight, but if you play smart he's still a beast who don't need no suicides

Yuppp. Takes a bit longer than when you have OR but still definitely has it's damage esp when that sp2 crits.

Omega synergy definitely helps a ton. Without it, the fight usually takes a bit longer. The only synergy I would personally run is a crit synergy. Colossus crit rating sucks and I have gone 5 sp2s without a single crit sometimes.

Absolutely. I actually rarely bring omega red along and colossus just barrels through so much content.

He is still great. the difference is less than comparing champs with and without suicide masteries.
Omega increases his attack bij 2% per armor up. So you`ll need 30 armors to have the equivalent in attack increase from suicides. In a lot of fights you rarely consistently have 30+ armor ups.
His crits still do a ton of damage, and so does his heavy.

Thanks guys
He will be my next rank5 after G2099

Was actually pondering something similar to this, I came to the realization that without OR Colossus is essentially a cheap knockoff of beardo (immunities/shrugging , tankiness, similar damage. Colossus has armor and good for buffed up but Beardo has so much more utility in the form of petrify/unstoppable counter/AAR on sp1 and doesnt require anyone specific for his synergy) OR is a great champ but colossus isn’t suicide friendly whereas OR needs them, so you can’t even get the most use running both with suicides or both without

If the fight is long and healthpool too high, OR is really important as more stacks of armour can get Colossus insane damage ratings and end the fight sooner. Without OR he’s good for most fights but OR really helps. Situational is what you can say.
