I wanna r3 Aegon as my first r3, what do you think?

So I just completed 7.4, and I'm still Cavalier cuz I wanted Knull to be my first r3 so I waited to get him, but 3 months have passed since 6.4 and no Knull... 2 days ago I got 6* Aegon, and I think I'll r3 him, but I heard I shouldn't, why?
I haven't done Abyss yet, not even Labyrinth... he can nuke bosses, will get a 6* Generic ag from 7.4 exploration... and I really like him in the story, he is so kind and noble, always protects Carina and it's cute when she calls him Stardust, so should i or not?

Rank up who you enjoy

It's good to rank up a champion that suits you best. So as long as you use the champ well, it's an absolute god. But there are some champs that are just too good

The first r3 is just the first r3. Aber becoming TB, more r3 will come and eventually your knull as well

good luck!

Yes, rank who you like!

However... I'd wait to r3 (even r2 for that matter) until you get that AG and some sigs to pump in him.

He is very underwhelming unduled and perhaps, between now and your 7.4 exploration, another option will come up that you might want to throw a gem into or rank instead.

He will not help you with 7.4 unduped as an R3 - no combo carry over.

And outside of long fight content (abyss, labrynth, certain boss rush type of content) he can end up being bench warmer if there's not a good way of ramping him up fast enough. He shines ramped up (duped only) and if there isn't an option to ramp him up (especially unduped or at low sig where the combo isn't carried over very much), then he's pretty average.

Where he shines, he shines, of course and doesn't have much competition. But why rush it now?

Aegon is an awesome character when he’s duped, never used knull so can’t comment on him but I would go with Aegon

Go for it.
He just needs 100 combo to be effective in story content. MVP for sure

If he is awakened and you can take him to high sig, he is amazing. Unawakened he isn’t as great, but I also think if you can get Thronebreaker now you should. Daily crystals are much better than cavalier, opens up other offers for you. As others have said you will be able to R3 much more frequently as TB.

So, even if not awakened Aegon is a solid thronebreaker rankup since even if he is not awakened he probably will be at some point.

Becoming Thronebreaker will offer you better rewards and offers. If Aegon isn’t awakened he loses some of his value. But it ultimately comes down to who you want to rank up. Rank up who you enjoy using and who works best for you.

Word to the wise. Never wait for specific champs. Rank who they give you. I waited over three years for a 5 or 6* Ghost. After year one, I ranked Warlock and never thought about Ghost again until last year. Same thing happened to me with Blade and Medusa. Years long wait and when you finally get them, they're useless for your account and left the meta. Rng at it's finest.

Ok guys so I've made my decision, I'll wait till I'll be done with 7.4 exploration, I'll open the Nexuses I'll get (5... it's a lot man, and one Class selector too) and if Knull wont be there... I'll give up on the dream and r3 Stardust

TyEdge

Why are you acting like this is the only champ you’ll get to r3. Just do it. You’re losing rewards and making it harder to clear content.

In a vacuum, rank who you want to rank. I wholeheartedly agree. This isn’t an “A or B” decision, though. It’s rank someone worthy or do nothing because you’ve decided to be weirdly sentimental about your first.

@Darkraw346 this 👆🏻

Darkraw346

Yes...cuz r3... its like when u r3 someone for the first time another phase in the game starts, another age, it's not just a rank up it's the beggining of something new

Fit_Fun9329

Therefore rank as soon as possible if you have a good option

Demonzfyre

Why? If you are looking for 7.4 exploration, you get a R2-3 gem in it. You get plenty of materials for R3 throughout all of act 7. If you are already doing exploration of 7.1-3 you should have more than enough materials to r3 several champions. I don't understand why you haven't taken a single champ to r3 and where all your resources are going.

Darkraw346

Yes, I can take 7 champs to r3.
It's not about the resources, its about what I wrote above

Darkraw346

I dont wanna brag but... ok I do, I have good options such as Hercules, Kitty pryde, Human torch...

Demonzfyre

I think you're just trolling now. I'm all for ranking who you like playing but you're taking it to weird extremes. It doesn't even sound like your aegon is duped either.

Darkraw346

Not yet, but I'll explore 7.4, and then...
