Falcon worth an awakening gem?

I just pulled a 6* Falcon and I got a skill gem from 7.4 completion. I was tempted at first to use it on Crossbones or Squirrel Girl since I really enjoy the 5* versions, but decided to save it. Is Falcon a worthy candidate? 6* skill roster attached for reference

    Falcon does what he does without a gem.
    Save it for other better options, like mentioned above

    Thanks for the input guys. I will save the gem :)

    Nick is well deserving of a generic gem so if you pull them awaken for sure. Aegon is a lot of commitment and my sig 200 aegon tends to be benched in content like AQ, AW and soon to be battlegrounds but does great for questing and abyss. I'd say he's worth it if you have the sig to pump into him but if not then don't. Kingpin is probably my #1 favourite skill champ and I went as far as to even use my act 7 generic on him and sigging to 65. I can see yours isn't awakened and honestly he deserves it as well. Helps a lot with increasing the amount of damage he will be doing in the long run and reduces the ramp-up time to get a few stacks of rage which is really nice to have

    Agree on Aegon. I have the 5* at sig 200 and barely use him so he's sitting at r4. I also enjoy Kingpin a lot, although I would still prefer to not use the gem on him. I'm gonna save it for now and see how my skill roster develops in a few months. Would love to get a Night Thrasher

    Both Kingpin and Falcon are worthy, if you use them a lot. Sure you can wait. But how long?

    Save it for Nick Fury. I'd say though he's the second most worthy skill champ deserving of a SKILL GEM IF YOU DONT HAVE SIG STONES. Kingpin, Aegon or CB are perhaps more deserving than him but the the problem is that they need high sig, max if possible (specially Aegon) and considering how hard is to max 6*s then that is why he's second only to NF as a skill that gets significant benefit from just a sig at level 1. But still, NF is by far the better choice of the two.

    Falcon does better damage awakened, but it really is not that noticeable until you get full crits on a combo, which is rare. His utility is his breadbasket, and doesn’t need awakening

    Falcon is great once awakened…he hits hard and the extra crit and time are really helpful

    I have R3 duped 60 sigs

    He doesn't *need* awakening to do what he does best though.
