Kingpin without his awakened ability

Thought it would never happen, but I finally gotten a six star Kingpin. Is he worth taking to r3 without his sig ability?

I just took mine to r4 unawakened, he honestly needs the hood/fixit synergy more then his awakened to be his best. The awaken just let's you get to his overpower buff a little quicker.

Mine is r4.

Thanks guys, answer seems pretty obvious

Absolutely! Back when R2s were something to write home about, he was my best skill champ. Cleared a ton of content with him leading the team. The awakening is amazing, but its an enhancement not a requirement (like Scarlet Witch or Cap Infinity War.)

My kingpin is sitting at R2. Is he really that great? He got that permanent regen, shrugs off debuffs, damage after enough rage debuffs. What're all the fans crazy about among these highlights of him? Or am i missing something else thats cool about it? Is the damage that good?

His sig is great but since you'll purify all debuffs when you hit 8 regardless, it doesn't matter too much. If you're in a fight with a ton of debuffs, you'll be laughing with or without it.

Alright! Happy to see do much positivity about the guy

I guess his debuff on sp1 wich reduces enemys attack by ALOT? and it can be stacked? I have same feeling of not understanding fully why everyone goes crazy for him but i would bet its sp1 debuf

I'm sure I'm still missing some things but to add

Fury, unstoppable, unblockable, high health pool, great attack, defensive ability accuracy reduction, good synergies.

Is also a really fun apocalypse counter, things get nutty after 15+ stacks of rage

Shrugs debuffs, heals the whole fight, massive heavy attacks. Ability accuracy reduction on sp1 degen. Higher combat power rate based on debuffs. Big sp3. If you want that. Goes unstoppable (removing the need to parry while it’s up), gets furies from overpower and heavy spamming. Has great synergies with useful champs, very tanky when you slip up, decent defender.

I’m only stopping because this is already long. Not because I ran out of things. Rank. Him. Up.

II have him rank 3 unawakened, AND I don't even have Synergy champs (Hood), and I STILL use him all the time. He's great - and a perfect investment for when I DO dupe him or pull synergy champs.

I have an awakened KP and he's too good for raw damage output. Hits like a truck.

Prefer to take him to R4 over Shang Chi in the future.

Oakenshield

Yes, but he is so good I would recommend investing an AG in him.

Mine is at rank 3 , zero regrets
