Here’s a few more:
Black Panther.
Storm.
Aarkus.
Symbiote Supreme once was the best mystic, so it’s impossible for older players to sleep on him.
He is still considered a very good champ by experienced players, and still one of the best for buff control.😉
But karnak is
The issue sym supreme faces is doom came into the game. Doom has good damage, good power control, and most importantly, does just fine if the enemy doesn't have buffs. With newer releases, symbiote supreme got put on the backburner for many experienced summoners.
It is unfortunate, but it is what happens.
Toad is another one who gets lost in the mix because of a top heavy mutant class.....
Spiderham is also one of my favorites to use... especially on offense in battlegrounds. He is such a good counter for the tankier champs because you don't even have to hit them a ton....mediums when you can to build his poppers and let them kill themselves. Was shocked the other day how quick I beat apoc with him.
So what I see is RNG mystic who can't be relied on to get rid of dangerous buffs, with short damage bursts that solely depend on bleeds. I know that not every champ can be Doom-level good, but this Symboi just feels pretty useless.
But I am really open to new perspectives, so honestly, please tell me what is so good about him that I have overlooked.
Also my go for underrated champ is Howard the Duck. He seems average, but he actually can counter so much! Armorbreaks are useful for stuff where you need a lot of debuffs or to have a constantly debuffed enemy. He also has ton of buffs, which is also useful. Bleed immunity is handy and armor up can help him deal with nodes that require armor and also Havok. He has basically a permanent heal block option and his rotation isn't hard at all (parry, heavy). Also his many hits heavy makes it hard for the enemy to intercept, so it's relatively safe to risk throwing it against a dashing enemy, although I wouldn't rely on that too much. Point is, heavy without parry is fairly simple with Howard, which makes him viable even when you can't afford to parry.
I use mine a lot and have him at r3. And I have a r4 Doom, r4 Rintrah, and r4 Hood.
Beardo
Thor OG
In war, my brother has defeated r4 unsteady ground knull bosses with ease because sym supreme has the attack tactic with cleanse (just forgot the name lol). Against knull his damage rotation is just using sp2s, not sp3s. So his damage doesn't solely come from bleeds.
I have enjoying her a lot. My first r4 on alt and she is bonkers especially against korgs Nicks and other pesky skill champs
Sorcerer Supreme is another champ that I think is a bit underrated today. She was bananas when she first came out, then opinion turned away from her a bit. I still think she's a really good champ. She might be overshadowed by some of her mystic cousins, but that doesn't make her less valuable. She has a little bit of everything in a way few mystics do, which makes her less powerful than other mystics in any one situation, but pretty good for players who are still building up and ranking up roster.
Following his buff, he's got access to some fantastic utility.
- Permanent Armour up for Havok and various nodes
- Strips Prowess on SP1
- Special attacks can't be Evaded
- Decent DoT on SP1 which very few are immune to.
- If you run Despair, he can basically Heal Block using Despair mastery
- Very long-lasting, stacking armour break on his SP2 which you can refresh permanently with Heavy attacks, in longer fights
- Prefight abilities can be used on himself or other Tech champs to grant additional Attack, plus Cleanse charges, increased debuff duration, or insanely high Energy resistance.
- Awakened ability gives him really good Health recovery and end-of-match damage potential.
He's really good in Questing, and fantastic against Havok and Bishop. Being all about Physical damage, he's a better Bishop option than Nimrod is, since Nimrod gives Bishop Prowess every time Nimrod hits him, increasing Bishop's damage, Incinerates and giving him Unblockable if he's Awakened.Two things hold him back, both eminently fixable:
(1) he can't reform his armour if it gets broken
(2) his Prefight abilities don't actually give you as big a damage boost as they're supposed to (Bug thread here), only giving you around 5-8% Attack boost rather than the 10% you were expecting to get.
