Man, the more I watch the deep dive the more I'm interested in Knull.. Really do love what I see there. I've gotta become uncollected so I can get this dude when his basic arena comes around
Looks cool. Don’t like he’s ANOTHER cosmic ramp up champ (like come on already). Utility is seems to be okay. Damage seems…. Odd? Hard to tell. Disappointed in the synergies, lack of prefight or any meaningful benefit with other symbiotes (no the indestructible isn’t a benefit, it’s recoil without the mastery and we know how that worked out for Blackbolt in the past).
They've succeeded in making kits complicated enough that I can't sus out usability from just the deep dives. I need the numbers per rank to see how it all stacks together.
He does feel to be designed more as a defender/boss than an attacker. He also doesn't scream hype, so it feels like Odin again. Gotta capitalize on these easy-sell champions more.
Like korg was not enough, that they have gone and made one more character whose most important part , is just going to be on defence. I hope m wrong, still have to see the gameplay and all.
I was hyped as I expected him to be Apoc for symbiotes who can shred like CGR alone because of how Kabam hyped him and he is the effin’ God of Darkness. But after seeing the deep dive I felt disappointed. I was originally planning to go ham on his Cavs but might just wait him out next year.
Doesn’t look like anything very exciting. A little bit of utility with super average damage (50 hits to get RoL Rhino and Vision down to 50% health). I agree with all the people that said the synergies are disappointing and that True Accuracy should be on more of his attacks.
I'm still hyped for him because...KNULL. From reading these other reviews, I think a number of us (myself included) had unrealistic expectations for the character, but Kabam did nothing to temper our expectations. In fact, they did the opposite. They spent an entire month hyping up the release of this character. And, frankly, he does not live up to that hype.
Overall, still excited for him and reserving final judgment until I get my hands on him. Just bewildered Kabam went through the effort of hyping a champ for a month and then didn't go all out on him.
The bug where physical resistance paired with armour breaks lead to less damage is definitely present in the red hulk fight. No way a 6r4 with more armour breaks should be dealing less damage than a 5/65 with significantly less armour breaks.
Hmm. Also has 28 more armor breaks which would be an additional 6500 reduced armor. As well the what 50% increased base attack between a r5 5* and r4 6*. So the crit in the red hulk fight should be nearly 10k with everything factored in.
Red hulk gains physical resist for each heat charge medusa does not
My main issue is that he has so many Solo synergies. Like it would have been really cool if he did a bit more for the Symbiotes other than his main synergy. Like allowing Carnage to start the fight with one of each of his Buffs that do not count towards his maximum. Or something like that.
Was going post something similar. He should contributed a lot more to the symbiotes just like we have in game Apoc, Odin and War Machine or even Mags HX. They wasted such an opportunity.
Edit: Overall, he's a tricky champ to judge now. He appears to be normal nothing standouts beside being a new character. I don't forsee an area where he shines the most or joins a group that are excellent in solving a certain problem(s). But we'll know for sure we see gameplay videos.
As others have said, really wish there was a better synergy for symbiote champs. Was hoping carnage, red goblin, and venom were more relevant in the meta after adding Knull to the team.
Had better hope for the utility side of him, but I think I still may enjoy him regardless of being top-tier or mid-tier(which might be the direction he goes in)......unless kabam boosts him numbers/adds some quick utility lol, but think everything is set in stone for him. Either way I think I may actually end up wanting him more than HUNKULES(although I would loveeeee to get him, so if I can pull him from the featured 6 star tmr id focus on him instead of saving for knull)
Anti-venom tho......might just be me but Im PRETTY PUMPED for him

Sure enough, Knull is a dud

So long, old friend
