Is Shocker Rank 3 Worthy

Finalfuryk

So I've got the resources to rank 3 Shocker (awakened) right now but I'm wondering if I should go Shuri or Hulk instead. I think of the three, I have the most fun playing Shocker. His rotation of SP1 into a parry followed into a massive heavy is so satisfying. I like Hulk and Shuri, but the guy I'm having the most fun with right now is Shocker. Having said that, I have him rank 3 on my alt account which is still at Paragon. Do I rank him here or go a different direction?

Offensively you arent getting much as you arent actually expanding the possible matchup list by much (a r2 will do 80% of the same fights in BGs with no problem). Characters like titania greatly expand their reach from 1-2 and even 2-3.

Defensively however, the stat boosts would be really annoying in any sort of setting. So, if you frequently sub him in as a defender Id say yes. If you typically are only extracting offensive value then probably not

I just r2 my shocker an hour ago, and I have to say I don’t think he needs the r3 at all. R2 already hits incredibly hard and will pretty much cover any of your needs at the r2 level. Plus you’ve already r3ed him on your alt, so if you ever want to play him at r3 just for fun you still have that option.

I think either of the other two options are better, shuri if you have some of necro to do still and hulk if you don’t. Of course if you really like shocker and don’t care about being overly-practical with rankups like myself, then r3ing shocker still wouldn’t be a bad play.

Assuming it's 7* champions.. Hulk OG might be the safest bet amongst the three.
Shocker (awaken)
Shuri (undupe)
Hulk OG (undupe)
all three are great champions.. who are your other ranked 7*.. do you have synergy team or you just team up whoever whenever in AW or quest. The most important advice Vega has in his rank up video is rank up who you like using.. a champion may be top tier but if you don't enjoy the playstyle.. would you use em often? Unless you are overflowing with rankup resources and they are expiring left and right.

Listen man I picked that cause you're having fun with the character and that's what this game is supposed to be about. It is also reasonable to understand that he doesn't really need the r3 , on the other hand Shuri and Hulk do benefit a lot from the rank ups, shuri can take on larger fights and finish shorter ones faster and even better at defence, and Hulk simply nukes everything. it's your alt so it's probably for you to make decisions that you won't normally do on your main so just go for the fun option imo

So I have a pretty killer roster. My other rank 3s are Titania at sig 60 and Knull at sig 26.

Here are the rest of my rank 2s and rank 1s.

My 7R1 unduped Shocker does a 380k heavy, idk if you need more ?!?

But, he can be a pain in the a** in BG on defence, my 7* gets a lot of kills, and he always does some serius damage.
