CapIW - Use Generic Sig Stones or Not

i recently managed to duplicate my 6* CapIW from 8.1 completion rewards. very happy with the pull and he will be ranked highly in the future for sure. in celebration i have taken him to sig80 using my science stones. now the question arises over whether it is worth using the rest of my generic stash to get him to sig180 (with the view to sig200 in the upcoming months and worst case using the deals during cyber weekend). there are few champs like CapIW who realistically need to be sig200, so im pretty willing to use the stones: all i need is some reassurance in the form of others having the line of thought. attached below will be my 6* roster so other options if found can be suggested. many thanks all

I don't know who's voting to use them on him but cap IW is extremely outdated, not worth it

Still has tons of utility, can hit some big damage numbers and is tanky AF. Yeah terrible champ..

Use the stones to destroy the stones, they serve no purpouse other than temptation

I'll answer your question with a question lol.

Do you see yourself using cap to clear content?

If so, you'll want guaranteed and reliable utility. There exists only one way to achieve that.

If you do not see yourself using him to clear future content than what will his potential utility do for you?

Only you can really answer this question. If you see a use and will use him... go for it otherwise...why?

Love my r3 max sig cap. Worth it imo. Versatile. Great damage if you play him correctly.

I didn't say he was bad, I said he was outdated, there's alot better champs now, science sigs are worth it sure but definitely not generic

Don’t forget he is a great synergy partner to the best champion in the game, Hercules

so a quick update. i chose to use the stones. and this statement here is a big reason why. Herc is my current only R4 and so this synergy is gonna be damn amazing. i can finally run a R3 team of Herc + BP OG + CapIW.

thanks everyone for the help. choice made and no regrets

Not a terrible choice, but since sig 200 my own Cap probably a year ago I can't recall a signal time I've used him the utility.

Hope you find him more useful than I do, can't say I don't have a little regret.

I see him as a great synergy piece. He has both gained a lot of great synergies over the year as well as having his own synergies buffed as a result of Kabam buffing the synergy members in question. Four out of his six own synergies have at least one buffed champion in them nowadays, making them immensely more valuable.

I'm personally thinking about taking him to r3, awakening him with the Science gem I got from 8.1, and then pumping him full of sigs. That way, he'll be there for all of the champions in my roster that benefit from having him on the team: Sam Wilson, Punisher 2099, OG Storm (+ all other mutants with their synergy), Sersi and Venompool. Plus a bunch of champions that I don't have yet, like the above-mentioned Hercules.
