Daredevil Hell’s Kitchen

Spiderham14

So, I’ve just taken my Peni Parker to R5 and I was looking at her synergies and Daredevil’s really caught my eye and I’ve been playing with him for a while and this makes him a really decent champion to play as. Yes, he’s no Shang Chi or Nick Fury, but he is quite fun with this synergy. What do y’all think of him?

I think everyone knows what @Chobbly @Rookiie and myself are going to say.

We are all fans. He has a lot of hidden utility. Not suicide friendly at all.

The Field Trip synergy improves his damage output. As @FluffyPigMonster has said, he's got some utility but issues as well. There are quite a few YouTube videos on his playstyle and rotations, as well as posts from earlier this year on here.

Have a look at Mysterio too, if you've got him - although he'll be another Tech and you may want some class diversity he gets a great boost re his charges.

Lol, certainly not. Just trying to helpful to the OP @Scarcity27, hence why I mentioned that Mysterio was worth looking at too.

Lol, I meant it as a joke, after what happened with the last similarly titles thread @Chobbly , no offense intended.

Chobbly

Ha ha, certainly none taken, @Scarcity27. Your response gave me a good chuckle.

We’re like Harry, Ron and Hermione, the three of us.
OP - in my opinion he is a meta champion.
He is a direct Miss counter - this means that you will have an easy time with Maw, Darkhawk, Invisible Woman, Miles, Falter, etc.
At max sig he reduces Passive Degen and Direct Damage by 100% - this means he takes no damage from Korg, Electro, Maw, Thorns, etc. when you are attacking.
He purifies non-damaging debuffs in Murdock Boy - this includes mechanics such as Concussion, Power Sting, Armour Break, etc. which make him a good counter for Yellowjacket, Spider-Ham, Quake, etc.
He reduces opponent DAAR by 65% in Stick’s Apprentice (100% with Secret of the Hand synergy) - so basically when you’re attacking the opponent, their abilities will fail to trigger. The best example I know of is this: Wolverine doesn’t regen against DDHK, I’ve yet to test this for other powerful mechanics like Crossbones’ and Kingpin’s purify mechanics, etc. - still exploring this space. I’m sure @FluffyPigMonster and @Chobbly have a lot to add here.
Lastly - he is a semi-decent damage dealer. In fact, he is an excellent damage dealer. The downside is that it can take a long time to ramp him up. With the Peni synergy he hits like a freak and makes life easier.
In my eyes DDHK is a meta champion. It’s just that he has a really high learning curve and nobody has taken the time to learn how to use him since his peak damage also takes a while to access. In other words, people just don’t know how or where to use him.
Oh and he’s also got a major flaw: his regen rate is set to 40%. This is horrible for suicides users, for nodes like Aspect of Nightmare because it returns less health, and damaging debuffs in general. All of which have hampered his viability in the contest.
