Anyone R4 their Yondu yet?

Oakenshield

Curious to know what you think. Mine’s at R3 but am not going to really put him through his paces until I get him awakened and get his sig up a bit in a few days.

Also, are you seeing him primarily as an attacker or does he have any defensive value?

I did the same day I got him and he's been a lot of fun, he definitely can be a very good defender because he does require a counter who can either purify the stiffles and weaknesses, or has power gain, or deals a ton of damage from basic attacks and doesn't require specials, or you just straight up time out against him. However, overall I think a lot of his value comes from what he can do on attack because of a few reasons.

First, the weaknesses allow you to do matchups like this one

Blocked multiple sp1s from her and lost no hp still.

Second, he ramps up faster the more specials the defender throws, makes him great for matchups like these two

Third, most of his damage is dot so he can do defenders who have a lot of crit resistance like this one with no issues

Fourth, he can very easily cook just by hitting on block as well because of the arrow hits which can crit through block and apply the ruptures

Fifth, he only has to bait one or two sp1s the whole fight and after that it's over unless there's a lot of power gain or energize

I played like **** though cause I forgot about the prowess buffs from the meta if you throw the same basic attack twice in a row at the beginning so I got like five poisons on me but if you play properly that buff immunity is down by the time she reaches sp1, after that she's just dead cause she's never going to get to a sp2 again.

So, he is more of an attacker but can work on defense too. Definitely worth the investment, way more reach than Mid Skrull.
