Who to R3 Next?

Blxndy

I had some units saved up for cyber weekend and it went very well! My current R3s are NF, CMM, G99, White Mags, HT, Diablo, Warlock and Apoc.

I value everyones opinion so please let me know your thoughts below! I can answer any questions

If people could explain their reasons behind their decision then this would be much appreciated! Results are currently different to what I expected.

I forgot to mention I run suicides!

Let me enlight you: the people in the forums always vote for the latest and greatest champ. That's about it.

Stryfe (awakened, currently at R1)-I have apoc to go along with him

Stryfe is the best option for diversity in the roaster

Thanks_D19

Knull (unawakened, currently at R2)-defence and offence purposes

Yeah it’s prolly knull. He has a lot of uses and unawakened ghost kinda hurts even with scuicides

I don't know much about knull other than he's supposed to be very OP. So he might be the easy answer but I just don't know enough.

The only worthy options in my opinion are mags and stryfe. I really like stryfe. He's versatile and can be valuable in lots of areas/situations in the game. Mags is OP and pretty self-explanatory.

Your other options don't make sense. You'd rather use a sig 200 r5 Ghost than an r3 unduped. And ham and overseer are not at the level of the other 3 I mentioned imo.

Who would you pick then?

I cannot seem to get into Stryfe, granted i havent tried him with apoc or since hes been awakened. Any major perks im missing?

thanks4playing

Yeah there's a lot. He can counter evade, unstoppable, thorns. He can even block unblockable attacks (not just unblockable sps). He can get easy openings with his phase (sp1+heavy), so good for e/f knockdown (and I imagine e/f intercept, but I haven't tested this and if someone knows then i'd greatly appreciate it). So the utility is certainly there.

Also he can achieve very high dmg and the ramp up is very easy with high sig.

He's also somewhat sustainable b/c he can glance too (but this uses up his charges, which takes away from his dmg and some of his utility; this is more of a nice to have than an essential part of his kit).

And lastly his synergies are great with good champs.

The only tricky part is to be careful when you use the sp1 to set up the miss/heavy move. If the opponent has a special, sometimes it can come suddenly and you get wrecked (you can only miss basics, not specials). If the AI is a bit skittish, then set up the sp1 miss/heavy move when the AI does not have enough power for specials.

Here is one of my solos against m7 OR mini. Admittedly anyone could have done it, but a nice showcase on how to setup the sp1+heavy move and his dmg:
