Best science champ now ?

Just a general opinion and on the basis of damage, utility and overall usefulness

Comments

Luke cage alone tops all of them. The concussion on the sp2 alone is so powerful. He can tank sp3s (not alot of indestructible buffs can do that.) His damage is very strong too. He counters every mystic quite happily, as well as being a monster for over 80% of nodes.

If all of them had equal rarity it would still be Scorpion

Hulk that's cos I'm bias. Not THE best but overall package he's up there. Damage, good defender, synergies suicide friendly. I like him more than the rest of those

Luke Cage can completely shut down any mystic He is overall the best science attacker. He also got great damage and makes a entire class a punching bag, Not shut down by any masteries and can even tank sp3s. Y'all should continue sleeping on him while I nuke everything with Luke.

My boi void and LC

Incomplete list without big pappa luke there 🥲, shuts down every mystic and pre much every other class and nodes, damage is up there as top 4 for science damage wise plus the indestructible tanks specials and can help save you from debuffs

Nefaria or Luke

Honestly don’t know why Luke is so low in most people’s lists. He takes down more fights than any other science champ

Does overall usefulness include defensive value? If so…

Ragnaruk5178

Yeah definetly but photon does admittedly have a LOT of counters nowadays . She is still a good defender regardless but I just find nefaria more useful in general. I don’t have Luke yet but he does so so much

Herbal_Taxman

So — a handful of champs counter Photon now. All champs counter Nefaria, Luke, Silk, etc.

If this question is about overall value, Spam is the only one who can even see Photon.

The point is is that they’re not meant to be defenders. I know what you mean though so fair enough. But in overall usefulness I don’t see why anybody would NOT use Luke sure he’s not a defender but he takes most fights exceptionally well

Silk for me rn, Spider-Woman looks absolutely amazing though so we might have a new contender

Jack2634

she is just well rounded

PT_99

Silk's sp3 into sp2 rotation is one of the safest, satisfying thing to ever do in war with no risk,

If you mess up? Just slap indestructible boost 🫱

BeastDad

Or Luke.

For defense it is still Photon

Toproller89

I’m surprised Deathless She Hulk isn’t on the list, she’s the best for long form.

Otherwise it’s Silk for me

Ragnaruk5178

I’d say quicksilver is arguably the best for long term content I’ve seen him do wild bursts that remind me of bill

Oakenshield

Here to say I think SpiderHam is also underrated as Nuke Cage is. So much he can do. As much as I love Silk, if it is an unknown situation I’m much more likely to bring either him or Luke.

Joe…

Where is my man Joe?

JK. I know he is not the best of the best in science class. But he is so much fun to use and has a lot in his kit!
