From the 2025 champs, I only have Lumatrix, Zola, and Dark Phoenix. Out of those, Dark Phoenix is definitely the most fun to play — and she’s also a busted defender. So she’s easily my favorite.

Okoye

Okoye is so much simple and fun. Look at all the attacker released in last 2 years, most are quite complex, but okoye feels like those OG champs like Hyperion and Venom who are very easy to use and doesn't require a Phd to understand their abilities.

Jean, mutants are my favourite and her mechanics are super interesting, great dual threat and fun champ

It’s crazy how much mutants have improved. I remember in 2023 when mutants were basically the worst class, till Onslaught was added and afterwards, the class became great again

I am having a lot of fun with Lumatrix, Okoye, Gentle, Bastion. I've maxed out my 5 star Bastion to make sure I pull him when the new featured 6 star drops. lol

Except for Okoye's double-hit attacks.
Throws your timing off when trying to end a combo with medium.

Probably won’t regret ranking her up, but just frustrating.
(and no, I never use Quicksilver or whoever that other champ is that does that).

Either between Zola or Cyclops since I have them both at r4 but I'll go with Zola

No unlike quicksilver and northstar, okoye don't do 2 hit combo quickly. So once you practice it, it just takes a few tries on poor bucky, you'll start loving her more.

Okoye, Jean, and Spider Woman are my favorites

This year has been amazing for attackers, glad they went all in after last year. If they keep this momentum going I think it could end up better than the 2023 batch of champs which imo is still the best year of champs

Very unpopular opinion but I really like Torres, although understandably not out of a titan. I also really like Zola and bastion. Hoping to get either of these three from the titan change on Tuesday

I think Deathless Thanos takes the win as best champion of 2025, and it will probably stay that way for the remainder of this year.

Zola hands down, very underrated attacker

I’ve seen a lot of Zola users and he was wrecking long form stuff, are you able to get him to work consistently in PVP stuff? I saw Bero use him and the AI would stand back and never play into the heavy lol

He works very well for me in BGs yeah one of my favorite Domino and Enchantress counters whenever he's not banned (which is only about 10% of the time unfortunately lol). The key is saving that relic to push them back because yeah AI can absolutely ruin his rotation, and defenders with specials that push you back a lot are also annoying. Using your relic properly is the key with Zola, I'd say it's even more important than the heavy spamming and stand your ground highly unlikely they block your full heavy tho it can happen every once in a while.

The only 2025 champs that I have (excluding the buffed older ones) are the new Falcon and Okoye. Out of those two, I've only really tried Okoye. I like her but since her attack pattern is different, none of my usual muscle memory works for her. I'm waiting for an awakening of her before truly trying to learn how to play her. Meanwhile, I haven't even touched Nü-Falcon. Maybe I will once he's awakened, but I'm also waiting for his rebalancing info.

As for the buffs, I'm not sure exactly which one have come out this year. OG Phoenix, Blue Cyclops, anyone else? I have both of them and they're both fun, but nothing game breaking so I'm not sure if I'll rank either of them up further than I already have (r2). But I also don't regret taking them there.

Jessica Drew because it’s the closest I will ever get to a champion being similar to my username.

Tell us more about Torres. I expect to pull and dupe him several times next Tuesday, so any positive reviews are welcome.

He has slow, special midigation and regeneration, trauma, does not trigger the precision buff from dex, passive fury, etc. His main problem is primarily his dps
