Archangel or Apoc?

Just a bg's champ? 🤣🤣🤣
That's funny. I was using AA to wreck content LONG before bg's was ever in existence.

Apoc is a killer as well, but to say AA is just a bg's champ and fell off is the most ridiculous thing I've read on these forums in awhile, and that's saying something.

AA is better in BGs, Apocalypse is better everywhere else

I used my (r5 and eventually ascended but til act 8) AA so much to stomp through initial completion of Act 7&8. Obs not every fight/path but since you're TB if that helps your decision, he was almost always on my team.
Ultimately I'd go for whoever you enjoy playing the most, AA is my favourite champion

AA is better than apoc when duped, but since they're both unduped and apoc doesn't need the dupe to be good, I'd say apoc is the priority until u can dupe AA

It depends on your roster, the modes you enjoy and which champ you like playing most. In the fun-to-play category, I think the edge goes slightly to Archangel. Nevertheless, although Apoc isn't getting the love he once did, I think he's still a beast. Personally, I use Onslaught more these days, but I still like Archangel and Apoc.

AA realy get's flying awakened.
With Apoc Horsemen effects really nasty!

But unawakened Apoc. More immunitys, more damage, good prefight for other mutants.
The heal from awakening is nice but not needed.

Aa needs awaken for full effect but neither are wrong choice. Both are animals not available as a 7* either. They are worth all the way up. I have both at r5 ascension and still use both regularly over some of my 7*.

@Norman_Oro Only do SQ EQ AQ and AW don't do BGs atm. Apart from AA and apoc most of these available at 7 star I believe

My two cents: As you pointed out, Archangel is a monster against basically any champ that isn't bleed or poison immune and even more so as a horseman. I'd prioritize him for ranking and leveling up. It'd be better if he were awakened, but he's still solid unawakened. For questing, I agree that Apoc is still effective. I don't know how much more he'd add to your questing if you were to rank/level him up versus using those resources on Archangel (especially considering it appears you haven't leveled or ranked Archangel up at all). If you like Apoc's playstyle (not everyone does) and are into building questing teams of horsemen around him, you have a solid roster for doing that. The only caveat would be that, if you pull a lot of 7*s, you might want to wait for 7* versions.

I think AA and get the awakening.
He shuts down so many nodes and melts champs,..(and yes a lot of champs bleed and take poison damage).
Because of this i could see Apoc becoming a 7 star long before AA does.
Could be wrong,..but that’s my take.
