Thanks to my son, I got him from the skill mutant one... have been trying for him at any rarity for a long time... have been buying skill mutant 4 stars as well but to no avail... now have him as a 5 star. Does he need awakening?? If yes, I'd he worthy of a generic??

I would say he is generic worthy, but factor in other options where the sig is crucial. So at the end of the day it's really up to you to decide.
Like I said, he can be left at sig 1 which gives him 25% AAR per neuro. It's pretty easy to keep up 4+ neuros for the complete shutdown, and there's also the heal block that is associated.
I've got this dude at rank 5, my most used character at the moment, and I wouldn't be where I am without him!

He does not need high sig. Sig 80 is considered his optimal bc its 100% at 3 neuros. I don't know why bc neuros aren't very hard to stack. If you want a bit of a read, the first thread on my profile is my rambly write up on him, it might give you an idea of what his sig can do. And just some general info.
I'd give him a generic in a heartbeat but I'm biased. Depends where you are in the game I guess. Its hard to tell from level now since no-one seems to do act 4 100% anymore lol.
You're probably right. I need to check auntm.ai again on how his sig scales, seems I've forgotten haha.
I took mine to sig 200, I know thats 40%.
Thanks for keeping me right👍
@Fluffy_paws here's mine's description. I recall sig 111 providing 33.25% per neuro, which, when multiplied by 3, yields 99.75% as the resultant AAR for having 3 of the effects active at once (I believe the scaling is linear from sig 1 to 200 similar to how Ghost's sig functions). I decided to put in an extra stone because that 0.25% ability accuracy trigger that a normal opponent with typical "base ability accuracy" of 100% can still access can mean bad news.
At this particular sig of level 112, 3 neuros lead to 100.2% AAR which is above the mark, and is truly enough to "shut down" just about any and all opponents to which it can take effect. and it is also achievable with a minimum of 2 heavies, which is pretty much the ideal condition one would be looking for.
Already trying to prepare myself, because anyone but AA will lead to immediate disappointment.
The whole "system" needs to be considered, and now you're comparing 75% to 74.8% and it doesn't create a threshold signature level.
I have a very detailed post on reddit going into the math of how there's no sig level threshold for Archangel, it's simply an inflection point in the curve.
People like to be given straight forward answers to questions, but the realities are much more complicated. The questions being asked are usually simplifications as well, since the idea behind the question is to help determine an action - should you put more sig stones in Archangel, it's not about getting to a sweet spot, it's about what else you would do with those sig stones and weighing the value (or potential value if it's "save them"). All of that is also predicated on how much you use him.
The abyss of approval strikes again!
In a real fight in the game there is a gradient of benefit to AA's sig that rises as it reaches 112 and continues to rise beyond 112, there's no threshold. There might be a fuzzy blanket feeling to reaching 112 sig, but it's not real, there's an inflection point where the slope of the benefit changes, but it shouldn't change your behavior when it comes to putting sig stones in AA.
As for trying to come off as insightful ... yes, why would that be an insult? Are you trying to come off as intentionally ignoring the realities?
And saying you're trying to sound Insightful wasn't an insult, just an observation. You already confirmed that I was correct.
