Does ultron have use elsewhere if I rank him for the superior kang fight cheese. I want to get through his phases in one go. I was going to rank torch but I don’t have him awakened and I’m probably giving the generic gem we get to Hercules

    Is there a better option that I’m forgetting? He was who I saw most people using for the cheese

    He does for his pre fight to get the damage to make it through the phases quickly

    Ultron is worth it. I also used angela and she did great, but ultron in general is a decent war champion with a load of utility.

    Venom is good for Superior Kang.

    I used Ultron in my initial run back in the day and Venom in my crucible run.

    Gorr is very good for superior Kang, I would argue better then ultron

    Yeah gorr is really good. I'll just use herc tho. His indestructible allow you to get 2-3 extea charges before you die.

    Gorr, Venom, Herc all easy to take him down with. Ultron is still good enough to rank also.

    wait, doesn’t Superior Kang throw debuffs that you have used on him (current and prior during that run) back at you? IIRC I decided to soften him him up w/ Nick, then my roster got +20%, and I was wondering why he kept dropping BLEEDS on me???? one of many “learning experiences… o_0

    Ultron shrugs fire and shock at high sig, is double immune, absorbs energy damage, and can’t have his Fuctions AAR’d. he’s not as flashy, but he’s a workhorse still.

    I’ve seen this bc he regens from all the dexes. I just wanna push those phases. I don’t have the 7 star. I have a 6 star unduped unranked. I’m out of dang gold

    If I had 7 star venom I’d def consider. I have the 6 star duped maybe I think but he’s not ranked. I’ve already got ultron r2

    So is herc still worth the generic gem these days? I’m about to get one but idk if I should use it on torch, fantman, bullseye, or herc

    I did it with Herc yesterday on Kang
    Just herc it

    Herc will forever be worth of using rankup items before everyone else.
    He's top #1 hero of the game.

    In my opinion, Ultron is the way to go if you stink at dexing his sp1 beam, which I am. He regens most of the damage back so you can just block it.

    Just for an overview, I used Ultron max sig r4 on legendary and used three revives and heal to 51% (he may have been boosted. I don't remember).

    I just finished normal kang (because I want that 100% banner on the special events screen) with a 7r3 Venom (I had suicides on this time and revives that I thought I would have needed for legendary crucible just sitting) boosted because I heard people say he's great. He had over 122,000 hp, and I still had to revive 13 times. I didn't heal each time like I did with Ultron, but that beam just kills me.

    I used vox for the superior kang in crucible and got each of his health bars down in 1 sp1 to sp2 rotation, he's absolutely absurd for that fight

    Never even thought abt this option. Might rank him up. I know he’s good for incursions right? I was kinda hoping for the 7 star soon. I rlly don’t want to rank these champs up to r3, r4, or r5 when I can pull them as a 7 star. It def takes some thought if I do that for a champ that’s not in the 7 star pool

    Ultron is good all over. Great for Questing or Incursions. Even useable in BGs, in the right meta; particularly against opponents with Energy damage.
