CGR or AA?
Now that I'm done with 8.4 I have the r5 gem to use, but I'm honestly torn between the two.
Kinda leaning AA because my cosmic roster is pretty stacked with r5a hulkling, r3 odin, r4a herc, r4a cgr.
For mutants it's mostly my r4a AA and r5a onslaught now.
I could take unduoed Domino to r2, but I'm hesitant on it given some of my other 7* options like bullseye, hulk, photon.
I would have made a poll but have no freaking clue how to.

So he do really need the rankup for various matchups. Archangel, I don't think you'll see much difference
AA melts stuff pretty fast at r4A, but I have noticed with cgr when I take him against a maestro, he always gets to glacking before I can finish him off, and with bullseye like you said, I'm baiting a minimum of 2 sp1 before I can kill him off.
I currently have my CGR and AA at r5 for now, but have considered giving them dust in the future when they might need it more.
And even if maestro glances,cgr can get him done before the pierce buff activation
AA or CGR to r5A?
I wouldn't say it's 100% necessary for everything - like, if you're just gonna use CGR for potion farming in ROL, I probably wouldn't do it, but in BGs and even questing? It's a great investment. CGR's at his prime right now.
Thanks for the tag!
That's the current mystic line up. Not too bad, but definitely could be better as well!
I didn't even think of the fate seal aspect of CGR, all I thought about was pure damage, lol
That's a good point!
Thanks for the reply, it definitely makes even more sense to make him r5 over AA at this point. One thing I hate about AA is the rng aspect of him, which when it'sgood it'sgreat but sometimes it's so terrible! Haha
Rank 5 A cgr happening now!
He's just too damn slow! 😬
Amazing champ almost everywhere, but in bg's he's just too slow most times.
Gone are the days where doom ruled the contest.
Plus, there's the added benefit that he's NOT a Mystic, so any Nodes that stop Fate Seal for Mystic champs specifically don't actually effect CGR, like Mystic Ward for example.
Especially in this meta, whenever I place him on defense, opponent loses a lot of health against him. Yes they nuke him, but still lose a lot of health due to huge crit on block.
On offense he certainly has his good matchups. I wish his sp3 didn’t take 10 years to finish though
