Who would you guys say is a better defender between Havok and Nightcrawler?

Just doing some rank ups and have some mutant iso to use

It depends. If you don’t have an armour champ and have energy champs you’re screwed against havok. If you don’t have evade champ it’s really tough to change nightcrawlers node sometimes as he evades the blocked hits.

In general I’d say night crawler as I always try to grab an armour champ if I see a havok in their deck.

Neither are difficult, but havok requires an actual counter. Just switch nightcrawler stances & anyone can take him down

Depends on the node set, if the nodes wont let you parry then Nightcrawler, but if the nodes give extra power of eat buff then havok. In general tho Havok requires more of a counter than NC

BeastDad

Havok is better all around.

Havok for dual use

Havok. If you’re doing this for battlegrounds, you can catch people off guard where you choose Havok last or close to last and they don’t have a chance to pick a counter. Night crawler on the other hand can be countered by literally anyone when you make him switch stances

Agreed that Havok is overall the better choice. Nightcrawler can be tougher, but it's down to the AI, if he flatly refuses to allow you to switch his stance then it drags the whole fight out. Also if NC Is woke then it makes him easier to switch and thus less valud as a defender

As if he’d let you do that in a million years.

When I try to change Nightcrawler stance by making him dash back and hold? He tries to evade on repeat 😀
