Woody_feder

Both are 5* no dupe. Who would you r3, Falcon or Winter Soldier? Put reasons in comments please.

Winter Soldier actually hits hard in comparison. Falcon is horrible

I would do WS but I would also ask whether either is worth R3 unduped, gut feel says no.

WS power drain makes him very useful in attacking bosses aggressively and not triggering sp3. Falcon is one of the worst champs and WS is 4* 5/50 worthy.

Winter Soldier's damage is far higher, and his ammo choices give him more versatility, even against bleed immune.

On the other hand, if you don't have any good Ability Accuracy reducing champs, Falcon is worth reconsidering, because he can do that fairly well, if only when Referring is locked on.

Falcon used to be useful (vs Magik his lock on blocked Limbo) however after an update it no longer worked and has never been corrected even though we were told it was being looked in to :-/ So Winter Soldier all the way his Power drain is very useful and he causes more damage.

Didn't notice the unduped part.. Personally I'd save resources and not rank either of them.. Who knows you may pull Gwenpool on the next one ;-)

Aagh. Autocorrect! Redwing, obviously.

Basically, aside from defensive ability accuracy reduction, WS does everything better; and should you dupe them, his Awakened ability is a whole new ability, whereas Falcon's is just more of the same.

I took my 5* WS to 3/45 unawakened and he’s great. His fury is almost always active which increases my attack by around 600 so he hits hard and has great damage over time between incinerate and bleed. Third special damage is brilliant with hollow point or incendiary, particularly if you have Deep Wounds. Around 780 per tic from the bleed and just under 1000 with incinerate on too. Armour piercing is really useful too against the high armour champs. Would definitely choose him over falcon.

Winter soldier likely, but falcon has some use

I won’t r3 either at this stage of the game... waste of resources... only if your items are expiring then WS - could power drain, bleed is good, sp2 hits hard
