I Have 5 R4s Yet Zero Tech Attackers, Mainly for BGs. Who Should I Take To R4.

Correction, zero tech attackers that DON'T get banned. Poor Jack doesn't see the light of day in BGs. Just this month I managed to pull a few good techs, so my options now are..

-Shuri
-Guardian
-Red Skull
-NIMROD (lucky me)
-infamous Iron Man

I Have a tech gem, and a 3-4 gem. I'm mainly looking for an attacker for Battlegrounds. I got Arcade and Zola for defense. Who would you guys take up?

I just took Shuri to R4, if that helps.

Red skull is a dual purpose champ even if people say he's a defender and pretty annoying and stable defender

Red Skull, then Guardian

Red skull is pretty useful for A and D.

red skull is best among the options. But I would do bastion n jack for attack if u can find them. Next would be Fantman n sentinel

Red Skull, like THING, is a really good example of a fair and well made defender. If you have the right counter he’s a breeze and it’s a quick BGs win as long as you’re careful and have mastered the basic set of skills.

If you don’t have the right counter almost any champ can take him you, just aren’t going to do it quickly or anywhere nearly as easily. A bit of knowledge about his kit and what not to do goes a long way.

Try opening titans and get bastion. He is enough, he can handle every muties. Easily one of the most versatile champ made in a while.

Jack is enough meanwhile

I’ve opened about a dozen titans over the last week or so including 4 nexus titans. Not a Bastian in sight yet.

People still run red skull? I took mine out because he hasn't been useful to me and I mean for attack and defense

Everyone seems to love Bastion and recommend him over Jack, but if I don't have Bastion duped is he still the better offer?

Any champ you rank up has an excellent chance of getting banned. It's just the name of the game.

I really like Infamous Iron Man, but if someone is shock immune your screwed.

Shuri is great, but she's kinds slow in BGs, just my two cents.

I have a rank 3 Jack and a rank 4 baston both awakened. Baston is more flexible, Jack is great at what he does but baston can take almost anyone.

this is all correct. I run an R4 jack and R3 bastion. Like OP, my Jack usually gets banned. When he doesn’t, he’s amazing for several matchups you see often - onslaught and sinister (he’s really the best counter here).

If one that you have currently needs to go up, I’d go Red Skull. I still have an R2 in my deck and he’s good on defense.

What do you think about Bastion unawakened? Still worth an R4?
