Peak NL reference

Cull is that good!

Giantwalrus56

Just wait a few. He'll be yesterday's news soon. Just like every other overhyped champion. It's ever-going trend

JhonST33

He is overhyped due current meta, it will pass.

So i should pick Viv over Cull when i get the last token??

Bruh just pick Cull or regret later, I mean Viv isn't bad if you can get her to sig 200 she really needs that. Cull needs just sig 1 btw :)

Those who're still yapping that he's just meta and will fade away in some time, watch this and just wonder about the impact he will have on bgs in coming days :)

I thought this was going to be a long "I quit" post. Thanks for the pleasant surprise, and laughs.

And NL is northernlion from twitch

Thanks.

Dun care about twitch, so didn't know.

But knew this.

anti venom is better imo raw damage is cool but when the current meta passes he’ll just be another niche pick

Surely this is the original and everyone after is copying

I went with viv because shes the only one I feel will bring value to my roster. She surprisingly can take alot of fights which includes yelena, Jean and zola etc. I do not have a yelena counter and i have only a r2 phoenix for zola (waiting for karolina). Also vivs parry phase mechanic means no block damage which is very useful.

Unfortunately she needs s200 which luckily we were given during the event. I wouldn't have invested in her otherwise but once you're willing to go all the way shes a very great champ.

I don't need cull because I don't need another nuke. Other than zola there's no fight your other generalist attackers can't do.

Ah ah ah fair point, but you got to admit that does look like a young Brian Grant, especially with the headphone 🤣

Threads like these just show how successful of an event the rebirth event was, especially when compared to last year. There’s basically 3 (I’d say 4 but I’m not seeing as much about Voodoo) strong contenders for champs that people want. Debates on 4 champs being the best or strong and all with a wide variety of abilities are great. I still don’t really know who’s the best but I’m just glad we got 4 strong champs that people are happy about instead of just P2099 from last year.

P.S. I’m a bit disappointed I won’t get Sabretooth, because I would enjoy using him as just a silly damage option in story content.

Anotherconcernplayer

So an honest seek of advice here:-

I don't really have to luxury if ranking up similar champs (I.e those that counter similar Def/challenges). I don't have any knowledge of these champs before and after buffs, so looking for a bit more comparable insight.

Cull: - Does he have anything unique (or counter anyone) that D Thanos and Angela doesn't do?

Viv Visio:- I understand she have her phase mechanism, but overall does she do/cover/counter anything thing that Ironheart, Jack and Red Skull?

Anti-Venom:- I really don't know much about his, again anything unique that Photon, Silk, Spiderwoman and Count Nef can't do?

Many thanks in advance for any tips and advise. 😊

II've Invested in viv and wouldn't reccomend investing unless you're going all the way which is to s200. If you choose viv, you have to be willing to use all ur rebirth mats on her which is her only drawback as I assume alot of players wouldn't want to commit.

But from the experience I've gotten with her so far im very satisfied. As for your question yes. She does offer things the other techs do not. While Ironheart is better everywhere else, she isn't a good bgs champion, viv is. Viv is also a good option against Jean and the other mutants while not as good as Jack in that department id say Jack is better against mutants in battlegrounds but I have never been satisfied with his performance outside the mutant class whereas viv is a better generalist. I don't know alot about red skull but I've only seen him used against domino which viv is as good at if not better.

Viv is also a good option against random threats like arnim zola and yelena thus adding to her attack value. She is also a sneaky defender because of that power drain making it nearly impossible for you to gain power against her.

NONYABIZZ

While I still wish viv had gotten a slight tune up or a damage bump (her damage is enough for battlegrounds thank God) or at least a change to her rotation so that it took 10 seconds to return not just ONE but ALL her armors after her rotation. She didn't need a buff, just needed to be rreleased as a 7star.

Even if she barely got anything, im glad she was in the rebirth pool simply for the fact that all the resources needed for her were provided. I wouldn't see her getting used AT ALL if she were added to the titan because no one would want to invest that much in her as there's an obvious scarcity in resources. Thankfully all the necessary mats were provided, you just have to decide who you want to give it to.

Thank you so much for your insight in Viv Vision, exactly the information I'm looking for.

May I ask what is Viv Vision, does the phase mechanic apart from her ramp up. I really know nothing about Viv Vision.

Many thanks again

NONYABIZZ

ThThats the best part. The phase mechanic is within her rotation. Id suggest watching simulas video he made 2 years ago on how to use her. Unfortunately she doesn't really have lots of videos on YouTube but that one was a great vid on her in depth abilities.

I don't want to confuse you with her kit terminologies so i won't go in depth Basically 5 hit combos consume something that she generates over time (they generate quickly). Its called solar charge. Ending with a medium consume a solar charge and inflicts a passive heal block (utility) and as you consume solar charges, you gain a phase passive that activates when you parry.

So 5 hit combo, instead of stunning for an opening you phase meaning you take NO DAMAGE and gain a free opening. With this free opening she can knock down zola.

This phase also enables her to miss special attacks for example she can miss the entire of winter soldiers sp2 if you save you parry phase for a special. Now you can use this mechanic to punish harder to punish specials such as dust and domino.

5 hit combos building up to sp2, tap on the block on each hit to build up her solar energy similar to dazzler but she slows down time and he has a wider room for failure as you can miss up to 2 hits and still be sorted, then sp1 spam while they're below a bar of power.

There's alot more going on but thats her playstyle simplified.

I picked Viv too. I've used her as a 6*, so was eager to get her as a 7*. Plus I wanted another Tech at the top of my Tech roster. Will likely r4 her. Wow..I didn't know she could counter Yelena.

So with this post original discussing between Cull and Anti-Venom.

I have decided to go with...Viv Vision 😂.

I took them all out for a 1 to 1 date with ROL Winter Soldier, I think all three are great, which mean it is a win win for us players, it is all down to what we enjoy and the content we focus on.

I pick Viv Vision because I find her fun to play, so I have put the AG and 199 sig into her, will put AG and sig into AV and Cull later when possible. I have not ranked anyone up yet, as I have to prioritise other champs first.

However hope sometime soon I can take at least 2 or 3 up,

Anyway just want to thanks @NONYABIZZ , for taking the time and share his insight on Viv, I definitely have more fun using her after reading your post and watch Simula video.

Hope all have a good day 😊

Pretty much every champ we see these days come to the game/get buffed specialize in something. It's rare that we find do everything champs and that'll be the case for as long as this game stays alive. Need a champ that can get easy access to openings, go Viv. Need a science nuke with a lot of debuffs, go AV. Cosmic glass cannon…Cull is your guy. We already have champs that can do these things, but at least they help expand your roster. More tools in your toolbox.
