Onslaught-R3 worth it after a 6r5a?

As the title, I feel my mutant class 7* is lacking. Is taking onslaught to R3 worth it even with a max sig 6*? Will I notice the difference or am I better off with storm, sunspot or bishop? I never use him but I said the same about silk and pig and now they’re my go to for everything.
I do ok in BG and as an alliance we’re plat4/5

Help a fella out if you can.

Definitely take the 7 star up and slap a block pen on him

100% tank the 7*

The 6* is kinda mid on defense nowadays. So many champs nuke him so incredibly fast. The 7* r3 has a ton of additional health, slap BP on him and they’ll lose even more health trying to bait heavies, and some champs that cook him incredibly fast as 6* (Hulkling, FAM) get slowed down longer and take a little more damage. R3 onslaught is still a great defender but honestly, I don’t think the 6*A is all that tbh

Take bishop up, 6* onslaught does the trick most of the time.

Ultimately an R3 Onslaught is going to be more useful on defence because of the greater stats and stat focus, plus future-proofing. I'm not sure you really have a better option, Bishop isn't such a threat these days. Sunspot could still be a great offensive alternative.

R3 Onslaught will be the better long term rank up.

I have both 6r5a and 7r3, both duped. There is a noticeable difference offensively and unquestionably noticeable on defense. If you use him, rank him asap!

An r3 Onslaught will go higher than r3 one day…

Use the 6* on offense, and the 7* for defense
