Red hulk. Vs Green hulk

Fluffydragon2

Ok. I did plenty of testing on the two hulks. I feel red hulk is now the better hulk. Easy to use, no gimmicks, just get to 10 heat charges and absolutely destroy everyone in his path. What people dont realize is not one champ is immune to heat charges, so bonus damage is guarenteed. The block damage they take from 10 heat charges is insane. The green hulk is good but having to wait unti his health is low for max damage is not fun.

What are your thoughts?

Hulk got me through act 5 including collector and ultron and still continues to help through aq and aw and event quests. They are both amazing but until I pull a red hulk I can't really say anything more about him.

Unduped, Rulk is definitely the better of the two. Duped, it’s a bit harder to tell, but I personally like using Rulk more

awakened, not sure. I might still give the edge to an awakened green hulk simply for his ability to consistently chain stun. for later harder game content, he can just demolish a large portion of paths just by chaining together stuns. I actually like having that confidence in a champion the more health lost... let's get real, in end game content, there no avoiding losing a lot of damage even through blocked damage, so having a champ that can clear several tiles with under 20% health left and pretty much perform a boss kill on his own is awesome.however, rulk is very solid. I don't find people crazy who compare the two... close battle, Green hulk is just a personal preference

All of this. I use mine with HE and Quake synergy so the stuns are 15% more likely. Against people with stupid mechanics or node buffs (unblockable under 25%), the ability to just keep them immobile forever is invaluable. Even if one does fail and you eat an s3, you can revive and come back with low health for more attack power and try again without wasting health pots.

Rulk is nice though, especially against mystics. If facing stun immune or limber nodes, then Rulk has more of a claim.

Thoroughly tested a comparison of these champs so here is an idea on how good Rulk is.

The hits of a sig 50 green hulk + 1 fury (non-hulksmash one) + 10% hp remaining + both fury masteries maxed = Rulk at 10 heat charges.

Green hulk does have chain stun but if Rulk is duped, at 10 heat charges he becomes immune to any incinerate damage + has better block prof than the Cap Americas against physical hits (takes less block damage) and he regens a decent amount. When you get to 10 heat charges the block damage is so low that he will easily outheal any damage.

Fluffydragon2

Yes indeed. The higher the sig level, the better the block prof gets. Hes a super tank that hits hard.

Rhulk's buff made it so that the Rhulk at the start of map 3 is actually dangerous now.

Since heat stacks don't overheat anymore, you're quickly fighting him with 10 stacks for almost the entirety of the match, and that extra +180% dmg will destroy you if you get careless and miss a block.

The 6* one is pretty sweet.

I like Red Hulk more. He has more utility & seems to hit harder at 10 Heat Charges. He is also higher in Prestige than Green Hulk & is Semi-Immune to Incinerate. The buff did him well for sure.

Green Hulk only serves one main purpose in the game anymore. Hard content you can use free baby revives and do massive dmg in fights you don't expect to live very long (Collector). For most other purposes, especially war, RULK is vastly superior in every way. You really only fight mystics with them when you can and 10 charges that don't expire is ridiculously powerful. You don't have to be 2 hits from dead to get this damage. Just cleared ROL for fun with him just to test Juggs - my 5/50 RULK takes less hits than 4/55 duped X23 which is a very high damage champ. He is insanely durable once you get those stacks up too. ROL champs hit you like arena champs almost, not that their attack was that high to begin with but still higher than arena champs. I screwed up and ate 16 hits including a special and still had plenty of health left to easily 1 shot him, not sure of any other champ that can take this much dmg as a 5/50. (not including regen champs that take a couple shots at a time farly spread out to regen in between).

BDLH

also another point with his durability, just finished a tier 1 map war with the opponent using 2 RULK's on lane 7 heavy armor and HP nodes. His AI is very easy for people who have used him as target practice in LOL a hundred times, but between the armor and his massive physical resist with the heat charges, he takes much longer to kill on those nodes than people think. If you are attacking with a champ with a multi-hit energy sp1, he will get 10 stacks very quickly cuz he starts with 2 and gains as he loses health plus when you special him. He's still very easy and generally bad placement scheme since most Tier 1 fighters have fought him a bunch of times in LOL, but if you're attacking with a champ with multi-hit energy specials might be worth just holding the specials to delay how fast he gets 10 stacks and you have huge resists and the heavy armor to deal with. (yes i know u could just try using an armor break champ on these nodes, but with hidden defenders, can never tell where Abom's and electros are hiding).

but after comparing the two for a while for war, it's not even close to me how much better RULK is than Hulk. He gets Hulk damage very fast after just a handul of blocks and is at full health compared to Hulk duamage at 20% health. It's nice that you can do so much dmg and may possibly get through a few nodes at low health, but it's more of a novelty than practicality. Especially in tier 1, unless you're a super ninja you're not gonna be clearing whole lanes with Hulk at 20% health. And you'd have a bunch of 4/55's to choose from as well. 4-star RULK is actually competitive against many 4/55 champs because he matches their damge and durablity against mystics after just a handul of blocks.

Depends on the situation. Rulk is a mystic/energy champ killer. But Big Green is still a stun machine. Depends on what you need in the match.

green hulk is a good collector option, Red hulk is a better overall option for every day use. That said, they are both underwhelming when compared to other champs in different classes so I find myself never using ether of them. Who is better? Purely situational.

I mostly agree with you but I wouldn't say underwhelming. If you need a character to just do raw damage, no one out there beats either Hulk or Rulk IMO

TheHoodedDormammu

just a question: how hard is it for rulk to get 10 heat charges if he isnt fighting a mystic?

Kil63

@TheHoodedDormammu pretry easy. Spam special 1 and you gain 2 every time. Also, blocking any energy attack gives you at least one charge

Jac094

100% agree, i'm hoping to dupe my 5s version and take him to 4/55

I've replaced Hulk with Rulk in my AQ team after he was updated.
The additional damage he deals with every hit is great and the 971 hp he regens from every s2 helps to get back some of the block damage he occasionally takes

Mannysmoker

For me, using my 4/55 redhulk is been a blast, that dude will eat you alive, Last night I was messing around in RoL and every boss went down in less than 300 hits, Juggs and SW went down in less than 200 hits tho...

Zeronaut81

I love my duped Rulk. Damage that ramps up very quickly (especially against mystic or energy champs), useful immunities & utilities (regen on sp2, but the incinerate/block prof reduction/perf block on sp3 are all clutch!), fun gameplay.
He's one of the few champs I've found that have critical resistance built into his base stats. His synergies are pretty good. High crit increases, perf block teams, etc. Plus, he helps make abomination somewhat more useful (perfect synergy, with both champs getting big crit boosts).
My science roster is pretty weak, so I am glad Rulk is a beast.

It's a good article, but why did you post it on this thread? It has absolutely nothing to do with Rulk Vs Hulk.

I have an R4 Red hulk unawakened (my 1st r4 5 star no less) and love him, I was unsure of how i felt about him but as ive used him more hes become a beast i lean on quite a bit. I only reacently got green finally and am trying to awaken him this arena.

Had to R4 my Rulk due to expiring T2a a while back and must say I don’t regret it at all, the damage is so high

ShadPrince

Took my 4/40 Rulk into power shield in AW against dormammu, I have to say after building up to 10 charges and unleashing the sp1, his health dropped like mad it was so amazing I just wanted to bask in those numbers forever
Oh it was glorious

Newbie756

after reading the comments i am so proud to get 5* rulk
