Is Okoye worth a generic awakening gem?

Friendly001

She already melts everything in her path but this looks really good. Honestly wishing I held onto my R4 gem.

I was fortunate enough to have a Skill and generic. I used my Skill AG, reasoning that I should only use a generic on that specially unique or hard to awaken champ (examples might include Sinister, Maestro) who could benefit a good deal from awakening.

That might be Okoye for you—I don’t know, and I do think her shock DoT is very useful. That’s probably not as helpful as you’d like, but that is my thinking.

I did and have no regrets

I pulled her yesterday from a nexus. First impression is that she’s incredible and easily worthy of a class gem. If I had a skill she’d have been awakened after the first two or three test fights. Still thinking about whether I want to use a generic on her, and waiting to see what the Ordeal rewards are going to be.

(My only issue with Okoye is that my ten years of muscle memory for inputting a MLLLM combo do not seem to fit with her double-hit light attacks. Something for me to practice, I suppose.)

There is supposed to be awakening gem shards in the Ordeal, forgot about that.

From what I’ve heard, yes. There’s a YouTuber with her at r3 and I think he was taking her to r4 so maybe look into that

Yeah, I've thrown so many SP2s into the block because I don't have the timing down for her combos.

My questions is if she's worth awakening if i already have 5/5 deep wounds.

But her dupe makes it apply to shocks as well.

I wish we had a skill relic that enhanced bleeds/shocks. Would be perfect for cheelith, sable, fury, and okoye

Winter Soldier works well for anyone inflicting Shock damage: just select the Energy Resistance Down Rune; plus there's Energy Vulnerability on the Striker as well.

TotemCorruption

I would wait and dupe her from the titan pool or at least use a class AG.
But if you can't wait, I think it's okoye to use a generic on her...

TheShinyDome

Run her on a team with Shuri and she'll get the benefits of sig 1 in questing, war, etc.

It’s ok oye to use it but it’s better to use a skill gem

Crossbones duh more utility and higher potential damage depending on if you can play her. I guess Okoye is easier to use but keep in mind she could get rebalanced as well while crossbones can’t
