Who is more worthy of a generic awakening gem ?

Pulsefire

Ortoun

They're both cheat codes and benefit hugely from the awakening. AA kills faster, Kitty is immortal if played right once awakened.

Ortoun

Meaning AA kills faster then Kitty, his awakening is more for utility.

BeastDad

Archangel

This is the only answer

Ok thanks for your help guys I was definitely leaning towards kitty but I guess I was wrong

Kitty Pryde

Whenever people make such polls they just take the community majority and dont understand why. There is no wrong answer here.

1. If you are planning to take both champs up and you should because they are both top 10 best champs in the game, you need to go for Archangel first. Archangel needs the awakened ability because it takes him from slightly above average to top 10 champ. That neutorixin ability reducing ability accuracy is the reason people are playing him in the first place. Kitty's awakening achieved one major thing - she takes no damage when phased. It is also very useful because she can tank sp 3s when timed correctly. However, she still had access to phase and reduced (but not zero) damage without the awakening. You can easily r3 her without awakening.

2. If you are only going to rank one of the two (not recommended). Then Kitty is better. She is just an overall better champ across content. When you learn to play with her properly, she can do absolutely everything making her top 3 champ with Herc and Doom.

Kitty and it's not even close

AA can’t deal with bleed immune champs… Kitty doesn’t rely on debuffs

Kitty is more useful in more places, and taking no damage while phasing is OD best awakening in the game imo

Just a couple things to consider that haven't been mentioned yet.

Archangel shuts down a lot of Ability Accuracy once you get a couple neurotoxins out. Meaning he's fantastic for anyone that can be bled and poisoned. Do you have any other champs that are your "top"/most used champs that are heavy bleeders/Ability Accuracy reducers? The majority of these are going to be Skill (Falcon, Black Cat, BWDO, DDHK, etc) and in most cases, a Duped AA has the easiest ability accuracy reduction in any character's kit.

Kitty's dupe makes her near invincible, and if you happen to have a Tigra, the synergy allows her phased attacks to be unblock able once a certain number of prowess is hit. If you have a hard time utilizing Ghost, Kitty for many players is a much better option in their hands. Inversely, if you have and are comfortable with Ghost, then Kitty right now might not be the best option.

I still don't have a 6* Archangel or Red Magneto - but I still use my 5*s in a bunch of end-game content, because that's how good they are and how fast they shut down fights *IF THEYRE THE RIGHT MATCH UP FOR THE FIGHT*

I do see from your other post that you are working on becoming Thronebreaker. Taking into consideration everything laid out here, the question is who do YOU think will get you there? I will say, my Kitty was much more versatile and certainly bypasses a lot more nodes than Archangel does.
