Silk or Hulk

Silk can handle photon and Onslaught really well compared to hulk. So I'll go with her. She is also better in crit me meta imo

R4 7*?

A single hulk clap in crit me would nuke pretty much everything. Silk would be good too but I think Hulk would be faster easily, and he’s good for man-thing.

What makes Silk good for Photon?

She doesn't benefit from dex so she can dodge photon's specials, and also the safety net evade if you miss her dodge timing.

She can also dodge serpent's specials as well.

The rotation is just 5 hit combos into sp2 i assume since heavies trigger miss

Silk has that sunder on sp2 though, that will definitely come in handy for the crit me meta cause most people will be running defenders with crit resistance. Keep in mind neither of them will have extra burst damage.

Also Hulk is slow for Man-Thing for the most part, if you don't get bonus crit damage then the bursts of damage aren't that big, and even then you won't deal any burst damage cause if the meta. You can stun lock for sure but unless he's higher rank it's a 50 sec fight easily.

Yeah you don't wanna heavy into photon, so you'll lose some damage (Or you could manually trigger her miss via parry and launch your heavy into sp2 when the cooldown is up), but that's not really necessary, she can still do good damage without heavies.

What if you play it like Red Goat and purposely trigger untouchable before your sp2 so it goes on cooldown?

Guys keep in mind, besides being a great attacker, Hulk can also be a viable defender, especially if he’s duped. Silk is mostly an attacker

Yeah that's what I mean, that'll work, but if you stack multiple physical vulnerabilites, you will do great damage even without furies.

Hulk is not going be a good defender next meta he'll get nuked by anyone before he can even trigger unstoppable and Inequity, and he has nothing to counter crit resistance. If we're talking strictly next meta, Silk is better purely because of the sunder.

That's good to know then, I had no idea Silk could fully dex her specials which is absolutely embarrassing since I have a r3.

I'm aware now yes, never knew that.

Trigger miss by missing one light attack, while its in cooldown, heavy, relic, heavy sp2

He does photon well?

Red Guardian? Yes really good for Photon, just have to purposely miss before you drop sp2.

Both great, but you can sometimes stun lock with hulk.

For the two disagree spamming bots:

Lmao

We call him the Red Goat for a reason. Will he be a 7*?

Don't know bout y'all but mastering silks sp3-sp2 rotation was one of the greatest accomplishments I ever made in the game. She carried me even when she was r4 during war and story because it could nuke literally EVERY MATCHUP she could work for. Could take out onslaughts even tho I couldn't dex the specials. It was literally a guaranteed kill even with limber nodes.
Silk also happens to be THE FASTEST science champion in BG's in my opinion at least. Mine is just r5 asc
I'm surprised how she's slowly becoming underrated in the science class by a large chunk of the community as if she doesn't easily outspeed and outdamage champs like Titania and spider ham and she can take a LARGE chunk of matchups as well. At r3 silk can most likely finish the fight without letting your opponent throw a single special attack.
Personally I'd go with silk but hulk is pretty Great too
I'd go with silk PERSONALLY because I don't know how I'd play hulk when the stun lock is not "GUARANTEED" to kill the opponent. I've heard good things from hulk players tho and you will be winning either way.
Also silk is better for enchantress lol who is saying hulk is better?. Hulk is not the best for knockdown nodes or champions where you have to knockdown the champion (you literally knock down enchantress every sp1 she throws so no hulk would not work well for enchantress because it triggers your gamma).

Could've been faster if I didn't play it so safe too, goat nonetheless.

As for 7* I doubt it, I feel like him and Sinister would be incredibly strong if they were released as 7* right now, probably too strong. Red Goat (and I know I'm going to get dogged on for this one lol) would dethrone both Hulk and Titania in the science class if he was a 7*, same thing for Sinister. They'll be released eventually but I don't see that happening for at least another year.
