i really believe kitty is a game changing champ for most accounts. she can handle and bypass so many nodes and matchups. i think someone recently posted a GM solo using her recently too.
ghost is also great, and she has a nice synergy with kitty.
if you learn and rank the above two, you can handle the majority of content.

sorcerer supreme can come in clutch for those buff heavy matchups. might do well vs. 6.2.6 champion as well
medusa is still good, but she's taken a backseat to being the "robot killer" for magneto
caiw really gets his kit from being awakened and max signature, he's worth the long-term investment IMO

really depends ultimately on what your account needs, but my personal preference in rankings:
kitty
ghost
magik
venom
medusa
thing
capiw
guillotine2099

cap and guilly would only go up the priority list if you can get them awakened and a decent signature level.
each of these champs fill a niche of fights, and many can be used in the back issues variant difficulties.

Thank you for the breakdown! I haven't used Kitty and Ghost very much but seems like it's something I should practice at.
This helps me get an better idea at whom I need to invest in long term and focus my resources into.
My team definitely could use some solid cosmic help in the near future so Venom/Medusa will be good potential candidates.

between venom and medusa, theyre both solid choices, but i would give the edge to venom, personally.

sure medusa has the auto-block to save you potentially in tight situations and can shut down robots, but venom is just a monster with his bleeds, armor breaks, buffs, heavy reach, the true strike under 18%, and as an added kicker, spider-verse champs cannot evade against him.

oh and not to mention the new synergy with the yet-to-be-released Scorpion. Venom will be wild man

Right! Not to mention I've got a handful of Spider-verse champs in my lineup ready for Venom to join the team. Unless I land Knull or Herc, Venom is my next Cosmic rank.
