Rank up whoever you like. Eventually it won’t matter much.
To the OP, congratulations. Gulk is reliable, and his “niche” is still unique to him - seeing how he has been in the game for almost 2 years now. He is a fun champ to play, especially if you like to play aggressively. Poison immunity as well.
I still prefer him, to Blade, in the matchups they are commonly selected to counter (Dormammu, Magik, Mephisto). And any node that inflicts Passive DOT is yours for the taking. Enjoy your first 5/65.
P.S. Bring Gulk (+ Hela synergy to make easy (not so quick though) work of the Variant 4 Electro boss.
Niche rankups absolutely have their place in this game. Them being your first R5 is typically unwise. If that's what someone wants to do anyway, more power to them that still doesn't make it the smart play.
Again though, everyone has to play their own account so do what you want but if you do something that's generally considered unwise don't be so sensitive about it when someone tells you it wasn't a good move. Just say it's who I like and move on
Don't let the grouch here make you doubt your decision, he will help you out in progression in almost every game area you're wanting to tackle. It may not be every single path but there's some fights and modes where he is one of the ONLY counters out there.
You will enjoy your first 5/65 bcuz you picked the champion you use the most. Well done! ☻👍
First he gains Face Me from Electro's passive degen meaning taking less damage overall for 99% of the fight which at one point saved me from after getting hit by a SP2 as his health kept bouncing back up when getting hit. Not to mention his damage is also higher. PLUS the taunt face me has meant it was a fight of motions vs Electro. Hit a few times, back off, Electro uses a SP1 (or 2 but I prefer evade the SP1) and repeat. I didn't bring any synergies to this fight but as someone said above, the Hela, She Hulk or Annihulis one makes the fight faster.
Second with DPX, Hulk is one of the champs in game that can do the heavy corner trap vs DPX so it's an easy fight. Like The video below shows how easy it is, I used no boost or anything, just Hulk and the fight was a breeze. Cuz it's really silly easy. Also this may just be me but Hulk Rags has one of the most satisfying Heavy's in game. Not that it does alot of damage but it LOOKS like it does alot of damage. I mean it's the HULK smashing your face with two big ass axes, how does it look like it doesn't hurt?
Since you have a 5 star R5 version this makes it even easier for both bosses.
If I had to add anything to what you originally said though, I'd also mention that Gulk is great for V1 Chapter 3 too, especially for the final Ultron boss in quest 3 with EMP modification, if you lack a suitably option. Although perhaps not the absolute best counter to the V4 Electro, as you said - I think max sig Namor takes that spot, but I understand that fewer people have access to him at a suitably high sig.
Overall Gulk is fantastic champ for what he does, congrats on the rankup OP, I have him as a 6* myself and enjoy using him.
Before people lose their minds: Not nerfs. Ghost and Corvus and Nick Fury and other elite characters don't need to change
What needs to change is the fact that these characters are so far ahead of the pack, people view it as wasteful to rank up other characters based on overall performance
Not all characters have to have DPS that outputs exactly the same. I am not saying that
What I am saying is that if you have a R5 GHulk and an R5 Corvus, after 100 hits, that DPS output needs to be roughly the same. Comparable. You can get there differently, but you need to get there in roughly the same amount of time and hits
Then people can choose characters based on utility, like Phasing or Guaranteed Crits or Face Me, instead of ridiculous discrepancies in DPS making the decision so common that the same characters get ranked up over and over
I understand how message boards work, so I don't care about the disagree function
What I do care about is why some people want the game to be "Ghost is so much better than 90 percent of the characters in the game, if you don't rank up Ghost, you made a mistake"
Why do people want the game to be like this? I like this game a lot. But it could be one of the all-time gaming experiences if there wasn't such a gap between the best characters in the game and the rest of the character base
It just baffles me that so many players are OK with it in the regard that shouldn't we all want more options for our gaming experience to be efficient and effective? They can't all be Ghost, etc. But my personal opinion is that way too many characters are way too below that standard
I am a decent enough Ghost player. Not the best, but far from the worst. I took a 3/30 four-star and got more production BY FAR than multiple other characters, including a 4/55
That's good for Ghost, but IMO, that isn't great for balance
