Just pulled a 7* Ironheart. Is she worth investing?

TheLegionMaster

Ignore the low ISO. I wish I got ISO as much as I got gold. 😅

Short answer: yes

Long answer: yes

I’d trade you some iso for some gold…

She’s bugged right her mediums keep whiffing and you’ll die a lot cause if it

Avnish

She can counter so many nodes. Counter for most the annoying mutant. Great bullseye counter specially on 49 node in AW. I have her R3 level and she is doing great no regrets.

It is a bug and will be resolved soon. Also it happening with some other champions too.

Yes, she is really good

RevHeresy

Invest and win

Great defender on BG

ItsClobberinTime

VERY good after the fix, I'm aware she's bugged but once that's fixed she'll be back to being really good again. You can actually use her for Onslaught and Dust reliably now sp1 sp2 fight's over.

Damn, y'all really gonna have to drop to Bronze 3 if you want to see that r4 VtD.

Magrailothos

She's incredibly versatile.

Try her out on Emma Frost in this week's side quest - she's immune to reverse controls, blocks Unblockable specials, and has DoT that Emma isn't immune to.

She's 100% worth investing in.

Oh absolutely. Absolutely bonkers utility and really good damage

@ItsClobberinTime do you mean the whiffing issue?

Yes that's the main reason I stopped using mine at the moment but once they finally fix that I am considering taking her to r3 and potentially r4 even, the sp1 thing that was increasing resistances instead of lowering them was a huge deal, most don't realize how much of a difference it really made pre-fix.

Agreed. I was previously annoyed with how tight the debuff-SP1 pause-SP2 cashout rotation was since the damage didn't seem that great if you didn't exclusively focus on maximizing the debuffs. But that has been resolved with her SP1 vulnerability bug fix. Now that SP1 spam is a viable option, it makes her feel so much more flexible.

The one thing that is lackluster about her is her Regen from her dupe. Compared to the other Ironman characters whose regen can easily outpace the damage received, its pretty easy for Ironheart's regen to be ignored since it tics at a much slower rate.

She's best tech champ in game, imo. If I pull a tech gem from epoch, she immediately goes to r4 without hesitation

Sbkrueb

Ill let you guess my thoughts 🤔

Yes yes and yes. She's been an mvp through every piece of recent end game content. Including ordeal. The buff to the sp1 along with sentinel relic allows her incinerate to go up to 50 stacks, its insane and mines not even duped. If she was, I would have r4'd her for sure

Yeah I remember I kept complaining about how inconsistent her damage was with the cashout, if you didn't crit you were pretty much screwed cause it would usually require another sp2 or sp1 sp2 if you were punching a rank above, now she can punch a whole rank above easily and still kill with the sp2 cashout. I haven't tried the sp1 spam yet tho but I probably should, I'd assume it's almost just as good as the cashout especially at high sig.

Yeah I wish the regen was better, they probably kept it this way though because of how much increased debuff potency you get at sig 200, can't have it all.

Terminatrix

Abso-F'n-lutely.

And here's why:

1. Multiple Immunities
2. Pre-fight for Rupture debuff.
3. Gains armor ups.
4. Regens (though not that great, but can still be helpful).
5. Blocks unblockable specials from Mutants when they have 5 debuffs.
6. Counters Miss.
7. Sp 2 with stacked debuffs can wreck defender.
8. Power drain on Sp 3.
9. Prowess removal on heavy
10. Counter mutants really well.
11. Can be a sneaky defender too lol.

And she has some pretty dope animations! If I get a r4 Tech gem, she's getting it. It was between her and Shuri, but going with Miss RiRi.

Aar on block is underrated. She can parry Photon freely and it won't cause the invisible

Yeah, it's not enormous regen, but 'lackluster' is a bit harsh. It's more than enough to be helpful when questing; since it can activate every quest (unlike Classic Iron Man)

But yes, she is at the lower end of Regeneration capability amongst Tech's with a similar 'regen at low health' mechanic:
- Classic Iron Man 12-56% health (only once per quest)
- Iron Patriot 20-50% health
- War Machine 13-48% (can get stripped away if you take hits)
- Hulkbuster 16-45% health
- Guillotine-2099 35% health (if you haven't used prefights)
- Ironheart 15-35% health
- Infamous Iron Man 5-35% (also Special Locks opponent during Regeneration)

She's definitely worth a rank3
