I don’t think many great techs are left aside from ghost, warlock and g2099. I have 2 AG and a r5 gem from v6(only class I didn’t want). Thoughts on gem usage and rank ups. I’m in 6.3 trying to get TB soon.

    R5 Guardian for sure, use the AG on Starky or Sentinel imo.

    R5 that Guardian man! And if you have sigs then sig him up as much as you can!!!!

    Highest block proficiency in the entire game. Highest energy resistance in the entire game. Awesome Synergy that raises block proficiency of the entire team ( he alone can turn Cull Obsidian into an actually viable champ). Arguably the single best Havok counter in the entire game. Infinite damage ramp up potential, as his force fields can be charged ad infinitum and then turn them into a pretty mean beyond godlike sp2! His damage potential is right up there in the same category as Red Mags against metal champs.

    Second choice would be a toss up for me between Hulkbuster and Sentinel. I prefer Sentinel and he has the advantage that you can awaken him and he only needs one single sig. You can't go wrong with Hulkbuster either though, but he does benefit of hig sig, more so than Sentinel.

    But defo dont sleep on that Guardian man.

    Rank 5 guardian. He’s definitely worth it.

    I agree with a lot of what you'd said and Guardian's incredible, but he's definitely not the best Havok counter imo. He can parry projectiles and has an armor up which is awesome, but he also loses a ton of his damage because of Havok's energy resistance and your not being able to throw a Sp2 with 3 or more force field charges without taking damage from plasma detonation. I'd definitely rather bring in a Warlock to keep his power under control, or a Colossus for crumbling armor, or Ghost with Hood for some sort of nullify node, etc.

    Ok, I stand corrected then.

    Still, OP, Guardian is definitely R5 worthy.

    For sure. Still trying to pull one above a 3* myself. The dude's awesome.

    You all were correct. Guardian at rank five is unstoppable

    @Etjama Guardian had a temporary armor buff on his heavy attack. You can throw his heavy before the SP 2 and the permanent one will remain. Its a portion of his abilities that a lot of people seem to overlook. He's my new favorite counter to Havok, plus he can also parry his specials and get free perfect block and power gain. Compared to warlock and G99, he actually gets health from willpower.

    My top 3 there would be starky, sentinel and guardian. Probably guardian. And also, if you don't want them, Og Vision is a good awaken and rank up option 😁

    Ah, forgot about that heavy attack armor. He still loses a ton of damage due to Havok's energy resistance. Not a huge fan of Guardian vs. Havok.

    He doesn't lose a "ton" of damage, but either way he's the safest option against him cuz he counters all his abilities.
