Ronan is incredibly average most of the time but God tier at others. He can be very situational but worth r3 if duped. I think he's an underrated champ and like using him. That's just my opinion though.. good luck.
Is he duplicated? If so I would say yes. An awakened Ronan has possibly the most valuable niche as the ultimate destroyer when coupled with end game nodes such as Explosive Personality, various permenant node buffs, passifying Vulture permanently, easing Medusa, annihilating the likes of Proxima and Corvus and even showing up Ultron Prime as well as the goddess of death Hela in 5.3.
Not to mention any true strike buffs or the like instantly allow Ronan to decimate those who’d seek more than their own strength to fight him. Especially good on Resistor and Adaptive if you’re looking for a cleaner fight than with a Mystic class or you use those for other fights or just have them tied up. Always good to have a free Ronan in my opinion. My 4/40 4*, who I used my act4 gem on years ago, (now on his way to 5/50) was an especially good tool to have against the uncollected Venompool and is always a treat when Carnage and Venom are present in general. You’ll find there are many other fights where Ronan is just fun and effective
How bout if he isn't unawakened. Is he any use still.
Unfortunately not really. He needs his dupe. He still has a decent stun and if I remember correctly his L1 still does direct damage but you won't get the long stuns and big damage.
He needs to be duped and has done wonders for me. As mentioned by @Epsilon3 he’s good on buffs and buff nodes. Understand if duped you can chain stun a resistor node champ to death after an SP1. Huge in act 5.
Unfortunately Kascam has the new “passive effects” that lowers his value considerably due to his armor break ability working on “buffs only” and not passive armor. He’s be killer on iw Ironman if so.
Clarification: I meant the Hela in 5.4.3 as she periodically gets a fury-unstoppable combo that can be negated and easily double combo stun chained for a solid 20 hits plus the special attacks
But I think for R4, you should consider much better candidates, like Groot, Kamala Khan, oh no, silly auto-complete (must have been infected by Kabam-bug)
I mean, for R4, you should consider much better candidates, like Hyperion, Medusa, Hela, Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight and Angela.

Save your resources for a better cosmic. As soon as you dump them into Ronan, you’re likely to get a Medusa and then will be kicking yourself.

He is very useful in some situations when duped. Big impact on iron men.
