Who is the most underrated champion in the game?

we all know the "meta relevant" new champs everyone is ranking up, but what are some hidden gems?
Who are the most slept on attackers and defenders no one would expect you to have?

Mantis is definitively the most slept on character in the game. Literally.

I see what you did there,

I really like Shang Chi and it looks like his stocks are falling for some reason

Vulture continues to get slept on hardcore. I know he was in the rework pool but he literally only needs 7 star and stat focus to become relevant imo

Mint9aer0

Groot

T1M3_M4ST3R

Civil warrior or Mr Fantastic. I can understand why people may not like CW’s playstyle, but Mr Fantastic has too much going for him to not be more mainstream.

I actually really like Mr fantastic , he has utility for days

Herbal_Taxman

definitely dDHK

that guy is awesome

Rayven5220

Odin. To this day people sleep on him.

summerdeer

Black widow deadly origin and Cap Marvel movie for sure

Wicket329

My man’s not getting the respect he deserves yet (still very new though, I get it).

Sbk

VTD

HHands Down one of the best champs in the game now.

El_Professor

Ebony Maw

Magrailothos

Bishop.

Still hits hard enough to be used anywhere outside top-tier BGs; solid on defense and has incredible utility - huge Energy Resistance; can melt opponents if they apply Incinerate or Shock; Purifies bleeds, Regenerates, Incinerates, goes Unblockable, has a persistent power meter, and is an astonishingly good counter for all shrug-off champions (even if they're not Skill champs, and are immune to AAR).

He's one of the five Mutant champions who's going to be Ascendable, and he's one of only two who aren't receiving a Tune-Up: there's a reason for that...

That's a really good point. Completely forgot about him. I have him r3 duped I might just take him up now

he is also sleeping in his Odin sleep

I like him, I maxed out the 6* and used him in necropolis

TheUglyone123

Yondu. He is so simple and yet so effective. I have yet to find a game mode he is bad in, and he is virtually impossible to kill with high sig. He’s able to take serpent feasibly, that is already a compelling argument for him being great , but I could talk about him all day.

Funny joke but the amount of people I’ve seen who have a R4 Mantis isn’t a little. I wouldn’t say she’s underrated at all.

More people would use him if he wasn't paywalled.

I didn’t get the 7*, but I maxed out the 6* instantly, love using him, I’m a yondu glazer

EdisonLaw

I’ll go class by class

Skill: Mr Knight or Franken Castle

Mutant: Cassandra Nova or Havok

Tech: Cap Sam Wilson (he’s getting buffed next month)

Cosmic: Odin

Mystic: Ebony Maw

Science: Joe Fixit or Spider Punk

I think luke cage is underrated, don't see many people ranking him up, but his utility and damage are both fantastic.

this is so true, i used 6* R1 level 1 Chee'ilth in realm of legends, took every fight in 80 hits or less.. that is insane, faster than R4 7* dracula. let me know if anyone wants me to upload a video on it

Blue_Eyed_Thing

I feel like people sleep on attuma. He's a legit beast with high sig. Crazy good damage and a passable dual threat.

Respectfully, he’s not slept on, he’s not even close to being slept on. He’s one of the best reworked champs to come out of 2025.
