Who to r5?

Have been blessed recently and have Symbiote supreme, Claire, and Nick waiting to be ranked. All unduped but have a mystic awakening. Haven't played any of them much but I know they are great. Any suggestions?

My guy feeling would be to go with Nick first, Claire second and SymSup last. SS is great in the right matches but is very situational. He requires a lot of buffs and preferably an opponent who can bleed. If not, a lot of stuff that he does kind of goes out of the window. Claire is the better mystic of the two, by far, in my opinion. She brings so much utility as well: regen, power control, burst damage, buff nullification, and access to several forms of immunities.

But Nick. Man. Wow. Such a guy. Love him.

All that said, the best advice I can give you is to play with all of them to see how they feel to you and if they fit your playstyle. The worst thing you can do is to just listen to some random dude on the internet and make decisions based on any opinion other than your own. I've done that mistake in the past, where I ranked up Stark Spidey because he was SUPPOSED to be so good and great and amazing. And he is, but he doesn't suit me or my playstyle very well. Therefore, he is a constant benchwarmer until I really, really need a champ that can reliably evade tricky special attacks.

So yeah, I would take all of them up to r3 or 4, then play around with each to see which one you like the most.

Just remember that Nick becomes significantly better when you've duped him; the other two, not so much. Their sigs are more of the nice-to-have variety.

I thought Nick's dupe is just for when you die to instantly revive to full health? Is that really necessary? Doesn't make his offense better right?

It makes his offense way better. He gets a bunch more damage and his tactical charges last permanently.

I suggest rank 5ing Claire currently. Once you get him awakened I’d take up fury but don’t take him up yet since you have other better options.

Good advice, thanks. I was leaning toward her for that regen and utility.
