6* Omega Sentinel or 5* Nimrod?

Pulled a 5* Nimrod and a 6* Omega Sentinel back to back, I have a lot of tech iso to burn and not sure who to use it on. I know both of these champs are good but I’ve been away from the game for a while so I’m not sure on how either of them works. I’ve already completed act 8.1 and I’m thronebreaker if that helps. Really doing this for Battlegrounds as well.

Nimrod is the better champion, but I'd recommend just going full time on 6*s since you're on Act 8

MarvelNoob

Omega sent is far more well rounded for the entire game, but nimrod is more of a mutant slayer. I don't regret r4ing omega sent over my nimrod any day

HoadyOZ

You will pull a 6* Nimrod soon enough

KnightOfTheRealm

Nimrod is better than OS at everything.

ShtickRick

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Are there any fights that OS is specifically good for?

MarvelNoob

That is extremely false

MarvelNoob

OS is amazing for champions with prowess buffs, as her sp2 turns them into plasmas. She is also great for pretty much every champ

captaincush

not to mention that not only does she not take bleed or poison damage, she actually gains regen when inflicted with either

Izze_King

She good against prowess champ, regen champs and miss champs. She will heal from bleed or poison except against Ibom. That’s a no no fight. She can’t be nullified so that’s another bonus. I use to use her against either Map 8 Eternal bosses. She can melt Toad in quick time.

KnightOfTheRealm

Name one thing OS does better. Not mutants, definitely not normal fights, obviously not defense. Oh wait! Prestige! Sure, take that win.

Shock immune fights.

As well, she applies plasma and incinerate and has Nullify, Stagger and Fate Seal immunity.

KnightOfTheRealm

Ok, shock immune fights (maybe). Different utility doesn’t mean she’s better for fights, nimrod handles every fight that isn’t shock immune much better and is clearly miles above in BGs and war, a 5* nim is def better than a 6* OS

Consider this my second disagree

ThatGuyYouSaw235

I don't recall Nimrod having any solid answer towards the large amount of miss matchups in the game.

MarvelNoob

You never stop do you? Right above this message is me saying what she does better. She doesn't rely on parry at all, has higher armor rating, works better with cides, and she got me through the first 4 fights in EOP every run. Can nimrod do that?

1000% OS.

Don't rank 5* champs that you don't absolutely need.

As many have said, I would do the 6*, the two are both amazing, but you won't be using any 5* for much longer.

Omega sentinel is definitely a better defender than nimrod. She does require a little bit more skill to play than nimrod does, but she's still pretty straight forward.

I have both 6* at R4 and use both pretty frequently. But I would probably take Omega to R5 before nimrod because of the more useful 2 way play and she's an assigned defender for me in AW.

Being nullify immune is huge for MD reasons also.

I wanna say there was some really fun paths for OS in either 8.1 or 8.2 exploration (probably both tbh) she’s an amazing champ, I don’t think the huge gap between her and nimrod is what people claim it to be (I have both at R4). You don’t even need to stack that many debuffs just finish combos in lights and there’s literally no stress about the timer

MarvelNoob

It always makes me chuckle when people give advice on who to rank after the rank up is done
