Relevance of 6*r4->r5?

With 7*s absolutely flipping the game's meta, I am feeling a bit like 6*r5 are now less prio than 7*r2. Is this feeling correct?

Especially with Valiant and 7*r3 being a thing now, there is one less reason to focus on r5ing a 6* over r2ing a 7*. Which feels a bit odd, because rn I have 1 6*r5, I think 7-8 7*s, outta which maybe 3-4 are good enough to be r2ed, so my rankup list now feels like 6*s are gonna sit back for a while.

What do you think, would it be a good choice to prioritize maxing 6*s over progressing with 7*s, or are 6*r5 a "side thing" now?

Idk why you would r5 any 6 star that exists as a 7 star already or has a high chance of coming out as one. I'd only rank 6 stars like Herc, Kitty, etc.

the main focus is definitely going to shift towards ranking up 7*s, as it should. new 7* champs are being constantly added, kabam are taking more time to balance and consider champs they make 7*s, all the while the quality of 7*s are improving.

but, a 6* R5 ascended champ still holds its own against 7* R2 and R3 champs, especially when the 6* is a CGR, Herc, Kitty, Nick Fury or any other super god tier broken OP champ.

once we see 7* R4s come through then yes, i think the game will totally shift away from 6* R5s (unless they add second tier ascension 🤫). but that happened to 5*s when 6* R4s became a thing. i think there is still use to taking 6*s to R5, just only a select few. once you have all the Hercs and Kitty’s up then totally focus on the 7* roster, but don’t be calling 6*s obsolete just yet

Sigs could be a reason. For instance, I rather a high sig 6* Korg than a 7* unduped one

I am not abandoning rank 5s but def emphasizing 7s rank ups.

The only foreseeable r5s I see myself doing is MAYBE Archangel, just since he needs to really ‘punch up’ now in BGs, and probably Photon if I can pull her from featureds during banquet event.

Her, I’d automatically take to r5, ascend, and max sig. She’s simply that useful.

I still R5 champs like nimrod, FAM, scorpion, hulkling, Herc, KP, doom, absman and some are ascended. They are more useful than my R2 sunspot imo.

partly right . What makes korg insanely good as a 7 star , even if he is at low sig (yeah , unduped korg sucks) is his stat focus increased energy resistance

I would agree with you only if the game was nice to me. I'd rank 5 sig 200 my korg and then my next 3 7 star pulls would be Korg just to rub salt in the wound
