My opinion on Mangog.πŸ‘Ή

ValmarxValmarx Member Posts: 521 β˜…β˜…β˜…
As some of you may know, I pulled him as 6-star on those early release
bundles on Thursday.
Was hella excited, never pulled a 6-star from such deals.
And to be honest? was more interested in him than Odin since I run Suicides
and I saw his kit and couldn't resist.

Some call him already superior Variant God-Tier parallel to Sentinel as he
can Tackle Variant 6, 5 and 2 (XL).
I tested him mainly with suicides on, on Act 6.2 parts, on those Variants and took him on 2 days to AQ Map 5.
Here are my conclusions and sadly don't have youtube channel to sort and share all that info via it.

1 - Block Proficiency.
Another Fudged Up champion that needs to be pretty much 24\7 paired with Guardian because
he takes a lot block damage ( six-star rank 1/25 has 2610) - same as Cull Obsidian.

2 - Damage.
This was a hard breaking point for me because with Suicides (+60% attack +20%atk below 50%HP)
He barely kissed 4k crits on cosmic champs.
I found that 2 times heavying to 2 Armor Breaks only ramps it to 3k-4.4k crits.
I can't even imagine how much he'll do without suicides...πŸ‘Ž

3 - The hatred Ramp Up.
I managed with aggressive playstyle, right before he hits that 80% Power Bar (before SP3) to get those 10
and somehow manage to throw that SP2 and gain Enrage and Indefinite Unblockable.
Where does the problem begin?

While the opponent is stunned, you need to charge Heavy and throw it to get those 30k-50k outload damage.
BUT !
The distance that triggered by the sp2 is way to far to Charge right away that heavy and release !
means you either forced to keep charging it until stun fades away and hope you will charge it right before
the enemy intercepts you or to go and hit him and start charging since you're unblockable but you will suffer
hits as the charging takes 2-3 secs at least.

4 - Special Attack 1 immunities.
Honestly Kabam?
I feel such a useless use in this one since to get this benefits you need to get 10 Hatred which by the time
you'll get em' you will be kissing that SP3 Bar or charge SP2 to get Enrage.
SP1 Immunities won't Activate without Enrage Active.
They made such a painful mix here...

5 - Special Attack 2
As I see it for now, only because of this Beam, this champ will bench on AW Defensive and thats it.
Nearly impossible to evade the beam unless you play Tigra ( Queen πŸ‘‘ )
Yes, it does around 10 hits + the energy damage and does not a bad one and if you run suicides, you'll recoil
after it only 2.5% HP not 5%.

6 - Special Attack 3
ONLY USEFUL against high stacking buff's like Angela, Venom, Odin, Groot's, Jubilee, Colosus etc.
The Healing is not big at all as the Liquid Courage Poison shrugs it by 30%.

Synergies?
- Still don't have Odin to test them both together.
- Same with Psycho-Man (looks interesting)
- Havok looks like gaining easier power and more accuarate.

Will I take him to R2/35 ? probably not.
I start to appreciate my six-star Tigra now even more.
I even find my Man-Thing (6star) more sustainable and survivor than Mangog.

I don't know what's going on with the champs since November 2020...
It's always a mixture of abilities that in the end, leaves many champions collect dust or less useful.
For many players is the Post CGR / Apocalypse Syndrome maybe.

    So basically he is a utility version of cull obsidian . πŸ˜”. I am a bit disappointed but i wont be completely disappointed until i get to play with him. I hope he is better than wht u tell he is.

    @KRoNX1 I got Cull Obsidian as Rank2/35 duped six-star.
    Mangog is worse than him in terms of damage.
    My Cull does 20k-30k PER HIT while fully charged.
    its enough for me to to get 5 hit combo to knock out 60-80k opponents.

    I use my Cull more than my Corvus lol.
    So yes, im disappointed with Mangog...

    Do u use him without guardian? I also have him but i am a bit reluctant to rank up him becuz my friend said he wont be useful in higher contents.

    @KRoNX1 Guardian attached to Cull 24\7 + White Magneto
    All six-star of course.
    I find the the Perfect Trio - The 3 Musketeers since one support the other.
    White Mags with the Pre-Fights helps Cull to ramp up and get's guardian those charges x2 faster.
    Cull gets the Block Proficiency from Guardian who helps White Mages get extra Prowess and Extra
    Persistent Charge each fight.

    That did actually rised a eyebrow. I dont have a 5* guardian now but this means i can get something out of cull in the future. He was my second 5*.

    @KRoNX1 many sleep on him although Brian Grant and Karatemike got him as R3 duped
    and use him a lot.
    As I proceed in-game content, Corvus stays behind but Cull Rises Up.
    Once you master he's chunkiness, you'll know how to intercept and dash dex to even less
    take hits on blocks even though with Guardian he significantly suffers less damage.

    But as for now, I use these Trio Team mainly on AQ.

    Leaving me CGR, AA, Magneto, Falcon & CapIW for Questing.

    Doesnt he have to do parry heavy , for armour breaks?
  • ValmarxValmarx Member Posts: 521 β˜…β˜…β˜…
    @KRoNX1 my routine with him is:

    The fight starts, I immediately try to get 3-5 Armor Breaks.
    Post 5-6 Armor breaks I dash back, Active Rout and Proceed to stack Armor Breaks.
    You do it until you hit SP2 thats where he gets easily 80k-120k damage.

    @TrashyPanda Lol !
    And yeah...if only...

    Immortal Abomination? Hmm. He’s a beast in offense. He’s getting under the spotlight as an attacker because of how poorly iHulk was received but I’ve been using the guy since December and took him to R5. He finishes fights in under a minute in the Science Cav EQ (both the old and new), used him a lot on 7.1, V2 and V6 exploration. He doesn’t belong with those guys. Also Spider-Ham and Stryfe are useful.

    @Vendemiaire I got Ibom as 5-star and thinking myself to rank him up
    I know he's dope.

    I was more talking about IHulk, Jubilee, Skrull, PsychoMan and Now Mangog.
    Spiderham is cool but I dont see many use him :\
