They don't need it, but I'm going to wake one up anyway. Which one?

I’m going to awaken one of these champs with a generic. I know none of them need to be awakened, but all of my other r5s are already duped. I’m leaning towards Apocalypse because I love him and use him all the time (with suicides) and I think the regen will be nice. Venom is an option because I still haven’t explored all the variants and will probably use him a lot for those and having extra buffs might help. CGR actually seems like he would benefit the most from the sig ability but I don’t know because he’s a pretty recent addition (I’ll take him to r5 at the next level up). So who should I use the gem on?

can't go wrong with cossy g

CGR has incredible buff control, better than a lot of mystics, so I’d say him for sure.

Cgr cult checking in!

I think you guys convinced me. I was going to awaken Apoc, but now I will do Cossy G! (thanks for that @TheBair123)

I'm assuming that he doesn't need sigs since the main benefit is placing the fate seal/heal block with the 5 judgements right?

Fate seal all the way... the potential damage bump from low to high sig is a pittance compared to what he does in normal play.

You can just awaken and not use any sigs and he's good to go.

Awakened my 6* with the offers this weekend! Gave him the 40 cosmic stones I had to make him my top champ!

I'm fully invested in the cgr cult

CGR sig ability is better.. Fateseal, Healblock and Power lock.. His sig ability helped me against Abyss Luke Cage too.. Fate Seal loop..

I did it! I put the gem on CGR. Thanks for all of your advice, this definitely seems like the right choice.
@Qfury any tips on the best way to use him or your favorite rotation? I’m still a rookie at this guy and it appears that you are the cult leader!

Grats dude! Awesome choice. His awakened ability gets slept on so much! It's actually really useful.

So with this rotation I can take out ws in 30 hits (pb) usually 32 hits..

MLLLM
PARRY
HEAVY
MLLLL
PARRY SP2
PARRY
MLLLL
(may need to throw a few hits)
PARRY/HEAVY CANCEL/SP2

usually dead at this point..
Used this rotation on a couple of lanes in 7.2 and they'd be dead before the 2nd sp2 lol

The other rotation I would use is not throwing the heavy & just building to an sp2 then heavy canceling in to sp2 & repeat.

Let me know how you get on.
