Who to focus on for rank-up?

I've been very lucky with my pulls lately but I'm very limited with gold and rankup materials - this has left me struggling to prioritise my next rankup(s)

I've achieved Cavalier and only do low tier War & AQ so my focus is purely on Variant content at this time. Variant 3 (Polar Opposites) is 100% but haven't touched any of the others, so I'm looking at who would be good rank-up options to help completing those Variants and looking ahead to tackling Act 6 when I work up the courage :smile:

Awakening-wise I have Tech, Mutant, Skill, & Generic gems and enough sig stones to get to at least sig 100 but 200 might be a stretch. Skill Gems are ideally being saved for Aegon/Blade/Nick.

Current R5 5* are Ghost*, Doom & Corvus.

    @PantherusNZ Do you have 1-Star Hulk and Black Panther?

    Hyperion should serve you well against the Deadpool boss in V4, as well as some paths in V2. Void will work against the Electro boss in V4. If you're skilled with Thing and rank him up, he should prove useful in V2, alongside The Champion and Heimdall.

    Yes, both ranked up.

    DPX is the one you can just heavy-scum isn't he? Would Hyp at R4 be sufficient? I haven't used Hyp much in a long time as Ghost & Corvus just seem to do the work so much better.

    Thing I've only just pulled recently so still figuring him out.

    Hype can intercept his attacks with his Specials, chaining the S2 back to back is a good time. You can do it with an R4, but with an R5 you'll have an easier time. Same goes for him in V2.

    Voids, a super useful character, however I've found two champs your still lacking. IMO Omega is one that you should wait for he in the right situation it the strongest mutant. On the other hand Voids not really a bad option but an awakened high sig omega really is something else.

    Yeah OR is pretty high on my wanted list, especially since I already have suicides unlocked so switching them on again would be pretty easy. That said, I can't afford to just wait for a specific champ, especially such a desired one, so I need to work with what I've got.

    Thing with Champion/Heimdall/Angela/Hela synergy team did 100% Variant 2 for me. You even take opponents down on poison paths before the posion have time get you.

    Oooh, thanks! I have that whole synergy team in 5* :smile:

    Does Thing need to be woke? I burned all my Science stones on Void a few weeks ago

    Thing does not need to be Awakened

    I would R2 Venom personally. He utterly shreds V2, you already have him awakened and he’s so satisfying to play. A lot of the nodes on V2 are tailored to him - 200% bleeds, 3.3? Has a global giving him 2x buffs etc.
