Will Serpent still have his uses when Isophyne comes out?

I currently have an unduped r2 Serpent (7*) and I also have a r2 sinister and r2 red skull.

Now with Isophyne soon to be released, a video surfaced online with her completely shutting down Serpents immortality, she will also be free for everyone.

My question is, aside his offensive uses, will he be any use on defence anymore? And should I r3 sinister or red skull instead? (this will be for valiant btw)

Not sure how he stands vs Isophyne.. there are some mystic hard counter to Serpent but even so I think he still a very solid defender..

If you can hold off ranking up a 7* until she comes out then you have strong determination and patience.

One single Champion countering him ain't a big deal when 200+ other ones don't, you know?
He will still be relevant for a long time.

Damn spiral already cancels out Serpent immortality easily, getting Isophyne as well will be great but I don't think Kabam will give free serpent hard counter to everyone, they won't shame their golden boy like this.

Do sinister but I have 7r3 Redskull myself and he's perfect dual threat.
So you can rank up anything but personally Redskull is better defender, one heal block and sinister defence just disappears.

But we are getting isophyene for free lol in the 10 supply drop so yes they are giving us a hard counter to serpent possibly for free

Thanks, yeah I just don’t want to mess it up and be regretful of who I chose.

Thanks for your help! I do like red skull to be honest, he’s quite fun to play.

In my eyes if she’s cancelling Serpents immortality she’s already up there with Spiral tbh.

Add Shathra to the list aswell, she may not cancel out his death immunity but I believe she is the fastest counter to him also

What I meant was Isophyne won't counter serpent immortality in 1 second like spiral

From the vid he doesnt activate it so who knows but it seems shes gonna by pass death immunity

All those other champion you listed have counters as well. Whether someone brings in a Robot to take on Sinister, an autoblock counter to take on Red Skull, or someone takes in Isophyne to take on Serpent, all champions have a counter.

Serpent is not gonna be the same automatic win he was as more counters pop up, but he still is a mighty good defender.

Holding onto serpent can be useful in the sense that your opponent can't use their serpent counter for other fights. For example, if they got Chavez as their only mystic champion in their draft and you have serpent and hype, then you can place hype and the opponent will have to decide whether they want to win vs hype and lose vs serpent guaranteed, or lose vs hype and potentially mess up once and lose vs serpent too. Alternatively, you could just win the first 2 rounds. It is all part of the strategy of inflicting emotional damage on your opponent.

If you really want, you can ban every serpent counter they have since if they got 3 counters to serpent, odds are they wont ban your serpent.
