I have Namor as a 6 star and finds him VERY useful. I even think he may deserve the Beyong God Tier Title

    i classify him beyond god tier only for his niche fantastic signature ability (and prestige as well). Probably would fit better into god tier, but all this classifying is personal and depends on your criteria.
    i have him 5* and waiting for a mutant ag or natural dupe and then i'll max him out

    Personally I feel that namor is quite useful
  • Devsagar2608Devsagar2608 Member Posts: 144 ★

    namor is a beast , u would be unsatisfied by him damage until u use a sp3 for 300% damage , my r4 sig 130 namor gives 3k non crits and 12k crit at 1 fury

    Yes of course

    I am thinking which to take to r4 first.
    All 3 awakened.
    Namor, CMM or Sentinel?

    Prior to nurf yes. Since nerf to me build up is too long and he sits on my bench. Maybe in future will take him in on a "fun and interactive damage path but hasn't happened yet even with act 6 exploration.

    Does anyone with a pretty stacked roster who has done end game content still really use him? For your question cmm, sentinel (if still need to do the tech variant), and then namor
  • QfuryQfury Member Posts: 1,860 ★★★★★
    Yes of course
    He's still a champ I'm really wanting have resources saved to take him straight to r5 sig 200. No luck yet though lmao

    Depends. Most of the time cmm. If doing variant 3 or 2 then sentinel. If your good with namor and have his sig at max, then he could be used for variant 2. All are great but I would say cmm if you are not doing variant 2 or 3.

    Absolutely. He's incredibly niche though. He always was as well, people just forced him into their teams bc he could out up some crazy numbers.

    When you need his sig ability, there aren't really many or in some instances any replacements. You just have to realize he's not going to be one of those champs you'll want to use all the time or even all that regularly.

    Ive always questioned his status of beyond god tier, but his sig utility is pretty unique, maybe even prestige, so I guess that places him there. One of things I actually love about him is that he’s suicide friendly so there’s that too, but if Kabam releases more champions that can do what he does I can easily see him falling to just god tier. My biggest complaint about him is that he’s too slow since the nerf so basically boring. Colossus has definitely lapped him by now though.

    Compare to Colossus, Omega Red and Domino. He can't carry on. His damage ramp up against champions that can bleed is very slow. But his awakening abilitiy is still very useful in act 6 in so many scenarios.

    Right now most of people use him because of his utility not damage.

    His still one of my fav champ to play and his sig ability is very very useful. It got me through variant 2 and i will always use him against korg and electro.

    Seatin still has him as beyond god tier. Legacy ranks him as the number 1, 6* mutant that he would rank 3. KT1 still has him as his top 5 mutants.

    When you need him, you need him. But I cannot stand using him.

    Namor at sig 200 has a unique ability and is an absolute game changer for some fights. Definitely beyond god tier...but only in the right situation.

    Quake can basically do what Namor does because of the fact that she can ignore most BS damage. The ones that she can't ignore, immune champs exist. And as mentioned by @UmbertoDelRio, even CMM can ignore that damage while indestructible. And with her high damage output, you can pretty much finish most fights having been indestructible the whole time if she has a high sig.

    unawakened he's god tier, but with the damage reflection at max sig he becomes a counter for so many annoying nodes

    At sig 200 for sure, if not 200 he is not Beyond Got tier imo

    I find his ramp up is not too bad. I generally get to SP3 & bait out the special and by that time, you'll get 20+ outrage. Activate imperius rex, then do SP3, SP2, SP2 & SP1. They usually are gone by the 2nd SP2.

    Here i go against 6.4.1 220K HP deadpool.

    I redid the same fight against deadpool with Domino (no synergy because we need to compare just the champ itself) as a comparison.

    Domino - 82 hits, 1m 28sec
    Namor - 81 hits, 1m 31sec

    Domino will suffer against bleed immune fights.

    No. I have mine at r4 sig200 and I keep meaning to r5 him for both prestige and the larger health pool, but I don't particularly like Namor. I hate him actually. He's boring to use and his ramp up takes too long. Not to mention that his regen is useless. The nerf to Namor made me realize that Namor isn't a Beyond God-Tier or even God-Tier champ. If we have to use tier lists, I'd place him in Occasionally Useful. Namor is only useful for his sig ability and his sig ability only is necessary for a few specific champions and fights. Now, where you need Namor, he's hands down the best champ for the job 9 times out of 10, but when you don't need his sig ability, you're better off using Sunspot if you're looking for big yellow numbers.

    Hits the same, minus the utility.

    Personally i would rank champs for their utility. So maybe hold out unless you can get him to sig 200 & and if his utility is what you need.
