Underwhelmed by OG Hulk. What am I missing?
After hearing players call him a top 7-star Science champion, I managed to pull him as a 7-star.
While he can do impressive damage with his build to 15-20 fury then SP2 then SP1 loop, I find his damage loop to easily be limited by common matchups.
Limitations I have encountered:
- Since the heavy activates Gamma Rage, in matchups where you have to heavy (ie. Rintrah, Protection nodes, etc) you can never really build to 15-20 Furies. This seems to limit his maximum output.
- Debuff shruggers limit his overall damage output.
- Matchups that affect your power bar also limit the ability to achieve the Hulk lock (even a basic G2099 encounter will prevent you from getting into your spots).
- Utility wise he has the Nick Fury thing of increased damage at low health, but the only other benefit is the relatively rare Degen resistance (compared to NF's unblockable and evade and miss countering). So ultimately that doesn't seem to be all that handy.
Yes, I get that stun locks and huge damage are great things, but as it stands, I feel like he is the worst 7-star Hulk, as there are so many restrictions to when he can be good.
Am I missing something about OG Hulk, and why players seem to want to R3 him over most other science champions, let alone the other Hulks?
