Medusa or Sentinel - who deserves Glorious Awakening Gem

Hi,

I pulled Medusa and Sentinel from the Keys. Sentinel is a good defender and mutant killer. Medusa works both as defender and attacker...

On which champ should I use my Glorious AG?

They gave the "mutant killer" incinerates. More of a mutant nuisance tbh

I would probably give it to Medusa. I think it's relevant for a bigger part of the fight than Sentinel's, which is geared more towards helping you survive when you're at low health. Sentinel does get a nice boost to his debuff durations which is active no matter how much health he has, but Medusa's activates whenever she activates an armor shatter or gets a fervor buff, and the chance to autoblock attacks is always active.

Additionally, my thinking is this: the cosmic class has a ton of fantastic champions, so if you were to pull a cosmic awakening gem in the future, you'll have a lot of other champions vying for it alongside Medusa. In the Tech class, there aren't as many bangers that scream to you to awaken them, so it'll be easier to justify giving Sentinel a future Tech gem than it'll be to give a Cosmic one to Medusa.

He counters the mutants who don't need countering,

Didn’t pull Medusa but was lucky enough to grab Sentinel on my 3rd final key. He is cracked. Don’t fall for the “can’t incinerate or shock most mutants” hive mind. Sp1 armor break spam and gg. My rank 1 was hitting 27k mediums easy with no synergies. Going to awaken, rank 3 and put all the sigs on him soon. He is also an absolute tank on defense now( CGR and Magneto cry in the corner)

Some of y'all underestimate how good of a defender sentinel is going to be. Most top cosmics can't counter, He straight up makes CGR ass, lol.

@FeydRautha did you use sentinel in defense? How did it go?

Thank you the indepth information.

U used him in BG. He is a good defender.

@captain_rogers my recent fight with rank 3 against a rank 2. Thought I would just stun chain and win. Literally got zero crits,ate an sp3 and he healed to full health lol. Can’t wait to rank mine up, he is going to be a menace.

Mine is only r1 I'm hesitant to rank him up for now.

Sentinel when CGR goes to sp3 instead :
but yeah gonna be slower and he's gonna be a epic defender nonetheless

Yo even a unduped is a menace it seems. Dupe sentinel is going to throw sp3 4/5 times it seems.
