Does Knull need to be awakened?

I just pulled Knull out of a July 4 deal 6* crystal (along with a summoner supreme and another superior IM and a blade from a featured). Super excited for Knull because I've wanted him ever since he was released. Does he need to be awakened to be useful or not? What's everyone's thoughts on him?

I enjoy mine unawakened, but he does benefit with high sig. it makes his ramp up much easier

My unawakened r3 still takes down WS in less than 90 hits

i just pulled him too, i dont think he needs the awakening unless you use him for defence(aw and battleground because he got unblockable, unstoppable and inverted control when the opponent got corrupted), and for offence, he finishes shorter fight faster when awakened

Thanks guys...pretty excited to see what this bad boy can do!

No, but it is nice to have

He is amazing, there has never been a champ that has reignited my love for mcoc more than knull. I see an abyss path in his future 👁

I’m in the middle of the Come out to play challenge rn and I’m using a R3 unawakened Knull. It would be nice, but it just speeds things up. Doesn’t really add much to his abilities or utility.

Need - No
Benefits a lot from it - Yes

This is vs. ROL Black Bolt with an r3 unawakened

Insanity without the dupe

His dupe helps to have but isn’t needed to be game changing

Moving to the correct category

Not critical but as other have stated, higher sigs mean more Living abyss charges from the get go. More living abyss charges from the get go means pizza oven-level melt.

Thanks everyone for your input. Just took him to r2. Hopefully r3 soon! Moderator, why was this post shifted? There are several posts exactly the same as this one on the main board right now.
