I recently got a karnak. I'm a fairly new player and have a rank 4 karnak was asking if he is good to take to rank 5 other than his high prestige. I also have a crossbones, quake and SL. Suggestions?

I'd rather rank up champs which would be actually useful like Xbones, Quake, and SL. LOL
OP don't Listen to such ****
Karnak is really good, sp1 and then no one can evade of active abilitys, when you are focuse you only do critical hit, which is basically during the whole fight
Thanks Meka, I'll wait for it.
That's why whe shouldn't talk about heroes here... what does XB do against an armor node ? Or red Hulk ? Nothing At all. He is great, but you guys have to open your eyes.
Just has you guys think phoenix is only good for prestige while she is the champion with the greatest strengh of the game
LMFAO.. id guess you really know much about crossbones. He stack fury buffs and with almost 6 fury stacks a rank 4 xbones hit like 600+ against a armored kang or civil warrior and pheonix ? What do you think is good about her ? Even Gamora is better.
See that's what i said... you obviously don't know the champs and how they work... if a champ works differently than only hitting it sucks...
Whith Phoenix rank4 you can have your SP3 + 10 furies and do about 35k damages in about 20 second on a fight, before your opponement has his SP2. But i let you figure out how that works with your incredible brain
Like i said phoenix has the strongest offensive potential of the game.
Karnak is, for me, the second best skill, after gwenpool, and electra when she will work correctly
He has the LOWEST armor in the game: zero armor (even lower than rocket).
His base crit rate is the LOWEST in the game. So you have to fight for 9 secs before you can get him focused and start getting crits.
His base crit damage is among the lowest in the game. So even when he starts getting crits, they are puny crits.
His signature ability is worthless.
His passive ability against mutants is worthless.
His sp1 does zero damage and makes him vulnerable to attack.
Truly he is one of the worst skills champs. I would rank him lower than bw and moon knight.
And Phoenix Rank 4 takes 5 hits. And even if here sp3 does'n'y work on gwenpool, you hit her, Phoenix rank 4 crits at 3k.
It was just 5k damage lol.. this was quite knowledgeable but she has no chance against an xbones.. He's the best skill champ and overall my top 10.
He makes RtL so damn easy, managed to clear last 4 quest just after i ranked him to 5. His L3 is not considered a debuff so you can use it on Immunity enemies and reduce by almost 100% their ability accuracy for all the fight. Awesome vs NC and Thanos bosses too.
Ps: I use LC build so he's also regaining 35 Hp per second instead of losing it
He has 0 armor like many others, but he has a base Physical resistance, making him more resistant than most champ with a base armor (obv except against energy attacks).
His crit rate reaches dim.return Cap after 9 seconds or using L1. Of course, if you get hit often you can't exploit this. You'd argue about StarLord being weak since he needs many combos to hit harder? I don't think so
Crit damage is below average but not the lowest. And since he does crit so often, on average he still inflict more damage than most champs, especially since his Base attack is above average.
His sig is useful, I run LC build and he regen more than Old Man Logan, and also reduce stuns/debuff durations by quite a chunk.
Apparently you don't know how to use his L1, if you just wait for his animation to finish it's obvious you're gonna get wasted, you have to dashback parry or mid animation, since it's allowed. And even if it does low damage, True Strike is so damn good, ignoring armor, resistances and evasion. Best counter to spiderman.
So you say it was just 5k damages cause you don't know that gwenpool doesn't take damages from super powers, otherwise she'd be dead
Forget abt. Rank 5 he isn't worth rank 4 too
I still regret using that awakening gem on him complete waste! Absolutely useless champ unless you go for prestige!
Karnak hits harder while focused. Karnak is a good champ and worth R5.
He actually doesn't 100% crit during focus anymore. Not since diminishing returns.
I think he's great. His armor rating is ****. I'd be weary about taking him to R5 though. I wouldn't call him a let down
He was amazing before diminishing returns and pure skill decline. He used to crit nine out of ten hits and his damage was really good.
Now I ranked him down to rank 3, would never take him back to rank four. Crits now five or six times out of ten when focused. Other champs do the same thing without having to be "focused " and he doesn't hit hard anyway.
True strike really isn't all that great, it can be useful but remember it only effects passive evades so cosmic spidey (and I think Miles,) can still evade on him unless he dazes them. And daze is only 80% effective. His passive against mutants isn't worthwhile.
Unfortunately the update really hurt him badly. Don't waste your rank up on him.
That video shows how overwhelmingly bad phoenix is. It doesn't matter if you can jump to a sp3 when the champ can't hit hard. That might as well be like a party trick, something that makes you go "ohh shiny" but then has a pop like a half-deflated balloon. That phoenix is a 5/50, gwenpool has little to no defense and goes down like a fly on the wall. You could've picked almost any other champ in the game at 5/50 and would've taken that gwenpool down in sub 10 hits without even using specs. You will even take her down 5ish hits with karnak if you let the timer run out so he's in focused mode.
I'm not knocking on gwenpool either shes amazing for offense, but as an AI controlled champ against a player she's a joke in her defensive section.
