The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!

Is this 5 star good?

    He is decent, but his awakened ability is pretty useful. He can place a lot of debuffs and has an immunity. Not the best in the Science class but certainly not the worst.

    I hesitate to say this on the forums, because there is some weirdly fervent hate of them, but if you're new to the game and don't yet know much about all of the different champions (and how could you, there are a ton) then looking up a tier list* from a trusted source like some of the more popular Youtubers (eg. check out Karatemike415 and Vega of MCoC) is really not a terrible idea to get a picture of what champs are considered good and which might be lacking.

    I just realized that the above was all one sentence..... don't @ me.

    So I don't get roasted, I will add in an asterisk:
    *Tier lists can be helpful when learning general power levels and usefulness of champs. They compile opinions and interactions from across the game and playerbase, but often do not show the best option for any one piece of content and typically fail to take in the "I just like this character or playstyle" type of opinions. They are a helpful tool, but only that.

    Not the best, but definitely not bad at all. He relies on Exhaust and debuffs for his damage and other abilities. Unfortunately, exhaust is RNG except for sp3 (inflicts 4 Exhausts).
    Use MLLLL combo to inflict as many Exhausts as possible. If rng is not on your side then throw a sp3. Each Exhaust reduces potency of power abilities/buffs by 25%. So, if the opponent has more than four then they would get power drain. He can pack a big punch if yoy have good rng.

    Yeah, he's okay actually. Bleed Immunity is always helpful, and his Physical Resistance is good.

    His specific niche is punishing opponents who place debuffs on themselves; and he can take advantage of a few nodes which do that in the Cavalier-level quests.

    He's also very useful against quite a few Cosmic/Mystic champions who have passive Power Gain abilities; and a couple (Tigra and Sasquatch) who have a specific susceptibility to Exhaustion.

    Awakened, he's one of the free champions who can take an SP3 to the face without blinking. So that's really useful, if you can get lucky with pulling him again.

    Cage was my first 5* rank 5 many moons ago and I completed lots of act 5 with him. Along with the MLLLL combo throughout the fight his S1 can chain 3-4 stuns together if timed with 1 1/2 bars of power and followed with LLLL and MLLLL combos and when they build to an S3 he eats it with no damage
