Now he isn't the best cosmic, that goes to hype or corvus depending on what you like or even CMM, but this guy...
Aarkus is by far my favorite evade counter. One combo and stop evasion, it's just too easy, like seriously. His ramp-up is difficult, but once executed, he just hits so hard. My favorite thing to do with him is to use his oml synergy and spam 10K special ones constantly. I learned a while after that he had a fury from an armor shattered special 3, and it changed so much for me. Mans was hitting 5K mediums like it was absolutely nothing and did a 20K special ones at r5 4*. Also, he is one of the best robot counters, considering he can shut them down and their power gain, which means champs like awakened OG vision are in the bin. Not to mention that his animations are just so much fun, and sometimes laggy, but when it isn't laggy, he's a blast to play. I know he isn't the best cosmic and did not do as well as claire voyant who came (got released) with him, but he is still damn good
@SpideyFunko lucky dude
Thanks for reading, Mcdonalds
P.S. before automatically clicking the disagree button, I said he isn't the best cosmic in the game

Dudes great. Not like Hyperion, but still amazing.
Great counter for Emma Frost, and is just fun to play.
8/10, he just lacks immunities.
Like I said. Sp3 helps to really stack those armor breaks, then sp2 for the shatter
6* R2 hits 11k medium crits and 6.7k lights after ramp up without suicides
Easily counters evade
80% power drain resistance
Passive power gain
Shuts down robots (tech champs as well with synergy)
Shrugs off non-damaging debuffs so void and encroaching stun counter
Easily accessible armour breaks
Actually usable in Abyss
I'd take him over venom,medusa, vtd and the rest of the God tier cosmics
He wrecked those lanes.
Okay, that theoretically could happen, but is basically impossible. Sentinel has biohazard which makes it almost impossible you will get to an s2 before you die. Darkhawk Warlock seems doable but would be a bit annoying. Lastly, you can't shut down ultron in 6.1.2 because spite + emp mod with Vision Aarkus's power gain will melt you alive. He's a decent robot counter and I used to use him for evade counters.
It's helpful for 6.3 Mysterio and a couple tricky IMIWs but it's quite niche
Was a controversial rankup to my alliance mates when I did mine, but he handles buffed up, diss track paths pretty well.
Tada! Out of sig stones though.
