Woah, Cosmic is possibly the best class in the game

I know most of you guys would say mutant is the best class. But tbh cosmic has become the most op class in the game now. Here’s why.
First tier:
Hercules
Corvus
CGR
Knull
Hyperion
CMM
Hulkling
Odin

Second tier:
Angela
Medusa
Venom
Venompool
King Groot
Vision Aarkus

Cosmic is slightly better than mutant. Anyone?

It's subjective based on what you need/like/want. Every class has quite a few stars and you generally only need a couple stars in each class to have the right option for every node/defender in the game. Honestly, just go to auntmai and sort by class and it's easy to see the top 5-10 champs that are most appealing to you (each individual) and try to diversify your roster so you have champs that can handle any situation. The debate about who is best, or what class is best, is in the eye of the beholder and generally isn't going to sway anyone else that feels differently based on their own opinion.

WOW. Bold of you to put hulkling, a brand new champ that no one really has experience with, in the same category as Herc, CGR, Hyperion among others.

I can confirm as a 5* r5 (awakened) Hulkling 'owner' that he is at least good enough to be included in Cosmic top tier. Period.

Great minds think alike

World Eater

There’s a lot of great champs for sure but ….

Superior iron man
Groot
Black bolt
Black suit spider man
OG Ms marvel
OG Cap Marvel
Air walker
Phoenix
Super skrull

Do bring a cosmic crystal down.

OP still have Tech champ avatar, so I think Tech is relatively more OP.

Lol at so much of this page, but are you really saying that Gold/Platinumpool, OML, Sabertooth, and Psylocke aren’t any good?? That’s a bold claim. They may not be Magneto, but still, there is a big difference between them and someone like Beast, Cyclops, Ms Marvel, or Phoenix.

Psylocke is a fantastic champ. Sabertooth and OML are solid. Goldpool and Platinumpool aren’t in the base crystal, they’re trophy champs. Including them would be like including Thanos in the cosmic pool.

Any champ on the new release program can’t be safely ranked until the build is locked

I’d say that unless you see something wildly out of the norm, I wouldn’t be worried about seeing that champion get nerfed. Hulkling is really good, but I don’t see anything in his kit that’s truly game breaking. He’s also the reason we’re seeing more Mystics with neutralize, because his kit seems to punish nullification. He’s supposed to be a meta-definer.

This kind of "the best class" discussions seldom have good endings.

Yeah I’m not trusting it. Hope you are right but I’m not betting on common sense to win out at this point

The reason why Mutant is seen as being the best all around class isn’t just because of their number of great champions, but the breadth of content those champions can cover. There are very few challenges currently in this game, if any, that a Mutant can’t clear and clear easily enough to be considered a top option.

Cosmic, although absolutely no slouch and definitely growing to be a contender, doesn’t quite hit that nail on the head as convincingly as Mutant does. But if right now you told me that I could have 100% of the champions of a single class to clear all content in the game, but I only get that class, Mutant is probably the one I pick.

PS that actually sounds like a cool challenge that I’d love to see happen.

Beewee

Cosmic is the biggest class in the game and as a result its watered down by a ton of duds. Mutant’s ratio is much better comparatively speaking

I found them to be worthless for completing the science objective this week in SQ. Didn’t help much with tech objective last week either! Pull it together, mutants!!

Let's not over-dramatise his importance there.
They've introduced several other champions immune to Nullify, not just Hulkling.

Thing, Annihilus, Civil Warrior, Omega Sentinel, Sam Wilson (partially), Overseer and Mister Negative all precede Hulkling, and the last two are much better examples of Punishing Nullify.

It's how the game evolves: introduce an ability. Develop new champs with a counter for it. Develop new champs who counter or bypass the first counter. And so on.

Hulkling is just one of the crowd with a partial counter for Nullify. Meta-defining remains to be seen.

Annihilus isn’t nullify immune at all? His kit is shut down hard by it. I only nitpick because Hulkling is the first Cosmic champion to punish nullification. Yeah, Mr. Negative and Overseer punish it, but they’re Science champs. You aren’t going to be bringing Mystic nullifiers into those fights anyway.

Hulkling is meta-defining in that usually, when you see a Cosmic defender you can just throw Doom or Claire or Diablo at them and call it a day. Hulkling will embarrass you and maybe give you a swirly if you try that on him. He requires a different uniquely Mystic utility to shut down, being neutralize (fate seal or buff immunity might still work? Not sure). Civil Warrior can be armor broken/shattered, same with Sam Wilson and Omega Sentinel. That’s a uniquely Cosmic ability countering these Tech champs, but not a super common one. Hulkling will have a similar relationship with Mystics. Requiring non-standard responses to a defender is, by definition, meta-altering. And Kabam is rolling out more champs with the ability to neutralize as a result.

Lpoo

Tied for second best class with science imo

I think they need to show Phoenix massive love. She's suppose to be even more powerful than Magneto 😋

Maybe if I could pull a few more decent cosmic, compared to my mutant roster I could consider your point
