Gambit 7* R2 or not?

So.. I have a duped 7* gambit and 5* gambit relic equipped.
I run suicides 24/7.
I also have R4 sig 200 omega red and R4 sig 200 namor, as well as R4 kitty, R4 cable and R4 apocalypse.
I am not in a prestige race.
I've been surprised how hard gambit hits and of course, he regens around 6% health at the start of every fight from willpower on suicides.
But I don't use him as much as omega, cable or apoc. Or namor. These others are safer (for me) and pump out more damage.
Am I missing something on gambit and should I opt for him over R5 ing one of the others? I'm close to 3 mutant t5cc and wondering if I should save for the 4th or not...

Many people forget that the og perfect block synergy was nerfed many years ago for being too op. I forget the actual percentage of it, but it was way below the 100% from Gambit and it was nerfed as too op, so that says a lot about Gambit at 100%
Gambit also does very good damage with easy ramp up but as others will say, it is crit dependent (for the very high damage) and sometimes you have to make a choice between going for high damage or taking no block damage.
Dew it. No regerts
Do you use him more than your mutant r4s, or was he mainly a prestige play?
relicArtefact or somethingI have 4 R5 champs right now and am now going to start trying to focus on 7s, simply because the next progression title will be tied to 7s, not 6s and will also likely be r3 7s
He's great for BGs because he can end the fight quickly and forces people to choose to decide to ban him or a defender instead.
Prestige is great and rotation is simple.
With the relic, he really is awesome for BGs on offense.
Going to main him in clearing cav EQ when burning energy and see what he's like.
(Have unduped 7* sunspot too... Too much choice!)
R2 mats are too scarce to waste on someone like gambit. Bishop, sunspot , and domino are leagues above him in the 7* pool
(No big crit sp2 against Nick there btw)
We play a game. Game is fun.
To anyone considering Gambit, try him out, use him and if you enjoy him rank him. If not, no harm done!
He has some really fun and relevant utility. Mainly in BGs, but when relics are added to war he’ll be very viable there. I cannot wait to try him with a mutant power booster with relics on I tell you.
He has no damage back from mediums/heavies/specials, so no Attuma or Korg, electro or Terrax damage.
He reduces opponent power gain during stuns, so you can parry and hit during stun, you’ll get more power than they do
He has an 85% concussion on sp2, which is 100% against skill champs. Been very useful against Korg’s, Nick Furies, Killmongers, just watch out for Attuma on that one.
He has 150% bleed resistance, meaning willpower healing from bleeds.
He pauses stuns during specials, so an example of that being useful recently is the VT meta where you can parry and throw an sp2 while they’re unstoppable and it’ll just hit them, the stun is paused so they can’t retaliate.
He has a similar armour rating to doom, so he’s actually damn tanky , it’s a little lower and he has less block proficiency so it’s not as tanky as doom, but he can take way more blocked hits and punishment than other champs and feel pretty good.
He’s also likely a 7* if you’re considering it. So he has extra health/attack, challenger rating, which means you crit more and harder.
And this is without including the 200k Sp2s or 80k sp1s he can get with his massively boosted crit rate via the gambit relic.
Even if he doesn’t crit, you’re looking at 60-70 second fights and if you’re using him - it’s probably against a Nick, korg or Attuma which he just shuts down making it a safe fight. If you do crit, it’s looking like 35-45 second fights.
Is he the best champ? No. Is he the objective best use of mutant cats? No probably not. But is he a waste? Absolutely not. If you enjoy using them, don’t ever let anyone tell you a champion is a waste.
And if Gambit is a waste, then I guess all the people banning him against me in BGs in C6/5 are making a huge mistake. Or they’ve seen the scores he can put out in BGs consistently. You make up your own mind on that one.
But if u love using him then go for it
