I just pulled him as a 5* and I have a few questions. What makes him so great? I have a 5* generic awakening gem, is he worth it? I've seen the videos with his insane critical damage. I don't really understand why he has such high critical damage on some specials (his stats have his crit damage at about 175%, which is not insanely high). His kinetic charges do not stack, so can someone explain this?

Stack them , parry, charge an heavy and use a special 2 while you have the fury from the heavy attack. That's how he does all that damage with his special 2.
Other than that, he has good block proficiency, and some utility. His sig ability gives him a bonus for each different class on his team
Sorry I should have clarified. He does stack kinetic charges, but not the passive abilities that go with each charge. The developers have explained that he gets the same abilities no matter how many charges he has, as long as he has at least one.
He does stack debuffs each time you parry the opponent. Not sure what you are calling passive abilities.
I have been using him in aq because he is my new toy. He does great damage and very high block proficiency
Parry is perfect block every time. Beyond that he is a tank and can handle getting hit a lot, because of glancing I assume.
Hard to say if I am going to regret using the genric on him, but right now I do not.
And I still can finish LOL to get another generic when I need one.
Not to mention Act 6 sounds like its coming soon, so there is sure to be more gems in it.
By passive, I just meant his increased attack and resistance ratings
So his awakened ability is if he has a certain class on his team? For some reason, I thought it was what class he was fighting.
he stacks the abilities that go with his charges.
ie with a cosmic on his team he can stack armorbreak
with a tech he can stack petrify.
his sig is wat really makes him god.
+skill = clear debuss
+cosmic = armor break
+tech = petrify
(and other abilities)
and these abilities that work on a wll timed block work on stun immune. they dont need a parry stun to work.
he was by far MVP v emma frost this month.
you break her diamond form with a simple parry.
his sp2 is awesome insane damage.
but dont shirk away from his sp3. with a few kinetic charges the damage from this bad boy go through the roof. have cut 30-40% of UC EQ defenders with a nice timed sp3 often.
his Block Pro is simply amazing. you can block/parry all day long and hardly take damage. and if you do slip up there is a good chance his glancing saves you from alot of damage.
i have him as 1 4* sig 79 and he has been my MVP by far in the last 2 months UC EQ.
EDIT:
Well at least it does with his L2.
"Special 2: Kinetic Discharge – Smashing together his vambraces Cap unleashes a wave of kinetic energy.
•100% chance to Stun for 1 second.
•Each Kinetic Potential charge grants +574 Attack and +0.50 second(s) Stun Duration."
And then you pair that with the passive fury from his heavy and it adds up real quick.
Signature Ability: Leadership – An excellent leader, Captain America learns from his teammates gaining a unique effect, while Kinetically Charged, for each class represented on his team, excluding himself.
•Mutant: 100% chance on triggering a Special Attack to gain +1 Kinetic Potential.
•Skill: 100% chance whenever a Debuff is gained, consume 1 Kinetic Potential to Purify it.
•Science: 100% chance on a Well-Timed Block to place a 10% Weakness Debuff of the Opponent for 10 seconds.
•Mystic: 100% chance to gain 1 Kinetic Potential each time a Buff Expires or is Nullified on the Opponent.
•Cosmic: 100% chance on a Well Timed Block to place an Armor Break Debuff on the Opponent, reducing their Armor by 222 for 10 seconds.
•Tech: 100% chance on a Well Timed Block to place a 25% Petrify Debuff on the Opponent for 10 seconds.
Nice, I apparently didn't read it well enough. That's an awesome signature ability!
So, do you think I should use my generic on him?
I wish it was easy to answer that question. Is he worth it? Absolutely Especially if you need a good attacker for war or clearing difficult content. He is one of the best imo.
It completely depends on what you want and where your roster is right now.
I would say yes without knowing anything about your roster, but don't blame me if you pull someone you really want and don't have the gem anymore. lol
For example I don't have Spark yet, but I have a tech gem if I happen to pull him. If I didn't have that tech gem, I might have held out longer.
My main mission is cleaning LoL at the moment. I've finished Act 5. I have Sparky, 6* Angela, and a couple other contenders for LoL, but I don't have Blade/Void/Corvus etc.
Do you know what the % chance was on his signature ability when you first awakened him?
Sorry, I didn't look. I used the gem and immediately put the stones in him.
If you are looking for someone to 100% LOL, I don't believe Cap is a contender for that.
Unless you are talking first path, but sparky would still be better.
Thanks for sending that picture. I asked because I don't have any sig stones, just the generic awakening gem. His signature would only be at L1 lol
