Was my first R4 ever really in doubt?

The moment has come, I’ve been hyping him since the moment of his release, he’s my favourite champion to have ever been added to the game and it’s finally time.

The Carina Challenger’s and Mutant Abyss challenges are done and dusted, some really fun content and absolutely worth it to be able to do this.



So so happy to have a pretty unique first R4, excited to test him out in some content!

(Who wants to make the first “Negative” pun?)

    Cool! Congrats on your first r4. Hope you clear a lot of content with him.

    Nice. Thinking of taking mine to r3 once I pull s2099 if that even happens...

    What's his utility? I have one and I'm curious if he could help my roster.

    Congratz btw!

    Very nice! I wouldn’t have expected anything less. I was pretty…positive…this is who you would take up

    One of those options seems different than the other..

    But I know you're the Beast guy, and he has as a decent enough synergy with Elsa. Ultimately go with who you enjoy playing more!

    Congrats! I love my r3 Mister Negative, but I'm still waiting to awaken him.

    I have him as a 6* but haven't really got the gist of using him... Would really live some pointers

    As a short version ( @Malreck04 even if it isn’t super short ;) ) , you want to get to 20 dark energy and throw an sp2

    The way to do that is largely parry heavy. If you are facing an R3 opponent and have petrify go for 3 parry heavy, dash back and hold your heavy. The opponent will be below a bar of power and you convert your light energy into dark energy.

    If you don’t have petrify or your opponent is R4 or R5 they will have more power gain, so go for 2 parry heavies, then parry and then dash back without heavying and convert.

    Parry and heavy or do a few combos while baiting specials and building power to your sp2, get 10-12 light energy again and convert it when at your sp2 and use sp2 on close to 20 dark energy.

    There’s obviously a lot more to play him and I could write for days about it, but that’s the absolute basics.

    Here’s a guide I wrote a while back that covers most uses, it also contains a YouTube playlist where I upload a lot of gameplay with him :)

    Overrated garbage champ with plenty champs who do it better.

    that's as negative as I can get.

    Super cool rankup. Love his sword swinging thingy
    It’s called a guando, really cool weapon. I’m actually learning Kung Fu and I got to learn how to use this weapon. It’s very fun, but also ridiculously heavy to use.

    I mean...it's an empty Rank Up. (Wonder who will get that.)

    Nice rank up. Honestly I would just rank him up for the aesthetic. Everything about him is so cool, and it works awesome with the 6* border. Its an added bonus that he's an incredible champion.

    @BitterSteel just ranked up the positive to your negative charge

    Nice!! I love my R3 Shang, he’s such a great champ and him and Negative have a lovely little synergy together.

    Up until a few weeks ago he was set on being my 4th R4 (after Tigra) but now I think I want to do Killmonger instead of Shang! Tough choice, but will always have a soft spot for Shang
