When will he be available as a 7*? Is he good on defense

He doesn't appear to be available as a 7* champion just yet. I hope he does get added to the pool though!

He is trash. Beyond trash. Abysmal trash. 0 utility, 0 damage, 0 uses. Took away his ability to crit and gave him negative damage to compensate. There are 0 reasons to ever choose this guy in any mode.

@GilbertoJunior was right.

His a Unstoppable focused defender with high physical resistence,kind new and partially counter for his own class because majority of slow characters are physical, but i don't see him much of issue because he still vulnerable to energy and Intercepting him remove 5 of his physical resistence

Slow ignore Unstoppable effects and Chee'lth will easily deal with him, think about it she's not a fast counter because he reduces the bleed ability accuracy

I dont like it after testing the fury duration mainly is what i dislike and max traumas at 8 is bad when she hulk deathless can stack and stack red guardians is insane

it wans't hard to see It coming and somehow even i din't expect to be this bad

I overreacted to the lack of crit byt my Toaa it's making too much of a difference

just took the 6* to r4 for fun, 6 minute long RoL WS fight… he’s definitely a character that exists in the game, that’s for sure. I honestly think groot might be better

Mysterio

After some testing here are some first thoughts about the Rhino buff:

Damage is horrendous, at 20 fury stacks and max traumas he is still hitting like his skin is made of marshmellow.
His playstyle is beyond frustating. The duration of the fury effects is so short you cannot use relics because the fury passives are not paused during it so you lose all ramp up.
He will be a bit more annoying as a defender but not too bad, energy damage should melt this guy away.

I won't say it is the worst buff ever cause I am sure there has been worse, but this buff almost feels like an insult. I truly hope Kabam realizes their error here and fixes this "buff".

NoahSansman

Its embarrassing. Lets hope they don't add him to the titan down the line.

i wish they buffed Moon Knight instead

After extensive testing, I can confirm this is indeed a buff. Just like Kabam said. Technically. Statistically. Barely. Rhino has been rebalanced into... slightly less disappointment. Truly, the rebalancing program is working wonders, took one of the worst champs in game and made him.... still one of the worst champs in game but now with more unstoppable and more trauma -- it was mostly for us, not his abilities.
