Just got 5 star Luke cage thoughts?

Leave at 1/1, one of, if not the worst champ in the game imo. I would happily take a KK or she-hulk over him.

Ok thanks for opinion

Probably an admin. They delete anything that isn't "productive".

As for my thoughts, I really don't like Luke Cage and despise the fact that these poor champs are available as 5* champs.

They deleted many because they suggested someone was cheating. Not allowed to comment on that apparently.

To the OP's point tho... Luke Cage is awesome. Don't listen to the nay sayers. Most underrated champ in the game. Awesome PI on him too. Definitely take him to 4/55

I don't think he is the most under rated but he is fun! Seems to me champs like Luke get a bad rap cause they require more skill...better timing...

I play mine with an amped up critical team and when he hits he hits hard...

One of his many detractors is the fact that he is horrible for AW/AQ/Arenas because his Exhaustion will give free regen to anyone with willpower.

He may hit hard, but he needs to in order to overcome all the free health he's awarding.

Luke cage has no abilities that depend on skill or timings that would greatly enhance his gameplay, if a player played Luke Cage to absolute perfection, no slip ups and intercepting as efficiently as possible if you played as good 95% of other champions in this game they would perform better than he does. I do believe some champions undeservingly get a bad rep but Luke Cage is not one of them, back when rank down tickets were available a friend of mine and I did a lot of testing with "****" champions at 5/50(Spidergwen, Iron Patriot, She-hulk, kamala kahn, etc) and he did as bad as expected. Against ROL winter soldier I gave up after about 600 hits Luke Cage at about 80% health because Winter Soldier was no where near KOd. Stun is decent but there are much better champions that stun, has awful damage and indestructible is too situational to make the character useful. To put into perspective unduped storm and luke cage you would play exactly the same, with the stuns off specials and no other offensive abilities and 9 out of 10 times Storm will be more useful than cage.

I say a 5* is a 5* so it is good. If it can defeat other champions then it is fine for me. His Stun and Physical Resist is pretty good though.

My condolences...

As others have already said Luke Cage isn't very good right now, primarily because tanky champions have no real place in the game right now. His main feature is being able to take hits, which isn't really relevant anywhere in the game at the moment.

However, if he is one of your first 5 stars and you want to get use out of him he is "ok" for AQ particularly when duped because he doesn't take a lot of damage and can survive specials as well as being bleed immune. In AQ it doesn't matter if the fights take longer and the AI doesn't have regular player masteries anyways.

Naw... He is a beast you guys. A guy with skills like the OP (I mean, look at this profile, he is a GOD) he could make mince meat out of opponents with a Luke Cage

Took me ages to get my first 5* and it was antman. Havent ranked hin up... Almost have enough shards for my second 5*. Posts like these make me not want to open it lol. Just want something rank worthy...

Listen op, really carefully. This game does not revolve around playing solo. You have alliance war where you put defence and a decent champ for defence is luke cage. People are judging him based on offence abilities which is totally vulgar. Do you feel happy and excited when you fight a 10k luke cage with extra layer of armour or more frequent power gain? No! That’s what you’re gonna give to those opponents in war.

Now about upgrading, it’s totally up to you , if you feel comfortable investing for your alliance defence, if getting some defence kills makes you happy and makes you feel worthy in alliance, if you don’t have any offence champ upgrade priority GO WITH HIM

ELSE make him stand in queue but do not neglect him.

Sir every champ deserves place in 5* line up. Crystals definition doesn’t say it’s gonna spin only offence champs. What a stupid logic.

Sir willpower used to be pain but not anymore and if you got despair (which is acquired by most people due to assasin and deep wounds) it reduces health and power gain I guess.

Your testing was irrelevant. Defender shouldn’t be tested by with how many hits he kills but rather how many hits he can survive.

What do you mean by no place for tanks ? Do you put arc angel , Gwen pool and starlord on defence ?? Or a luke cage?
