I just got Omega Red and I aw alarmed him. I will try to raise his sig level as much as I can. I’ve been hearing mixed opinions on whether he’s still great without suicides. I’m not gonna put on suicides any time soon since I’m very short on units and don’t have time to grind arena nowadays. What do yo guys think of Omega Red without suicides

    He does fine for the most part. Just slower getting started. I have him 4/55 high sig

    I mean I prob wouldn't bring him in at all without suicides. He's an entirely different charcter

    He is ok. But if you have other op mutants like colossus,magneto, archangel you should upgrade them first.

    He still has all his utility. His damage is still great without suicides albeit it's less than with suicides. He is still worth ranking up IMO. Play with him and see if you like him first though.

    Pretty simple. You can use him maximally anywhere if you run suicides. Without them he will only work maximally if you do a bleed heavy path. If you do map 5 take the bleed lane in section 2 and he is great. Biohazard is amazing with him. Like others have said. He is just slower without them. But if fights are longer he works just about the same. But if it are <30sec fights, there is a world of difference in speed.

    IMO he needs ST synergy more than suicides...yes suicides make him a completely different champ but he is still a top mutant without them(with ST synergy)...he still bypasses so much passive damage,still has his most unique dot which only a handful champs can avoid,still has his immunities and still has his regen...I have used him in 6.3 and 7.1 exploration without suicides and he slays the defenders...but the thing to note is that his playstyle is not suited to many as he has a relatively poor block proficiency and that shows when used by a non experienced omega user without suicides

    Agreed, ST makes him still a top tier mutant without suicides

    Took mine to r4 sig 100 and it is my greatest regret. But he did well in cav eq, so there he might be helpful. But else I would advise you against ranking him. But it is my personal opinion, I may be wrong

    He doesn't need Sabretooth to be a top tier mutant though. I quit suicides a long time ago and Omega is still as dominant of a champ on my roster. Though I do tend to use him with red guardian to get the purify immunity quicker.

    He is good rankup champion, atleast go for r4, you will find uses out of him, even without suicides.
    His utility is already there.
    Just suicides makes him even more better.

    I maxed mine out. Use him without suicides i like him. Very useful for cav monthly eq mutant quest.

    All omega needs is a high sig. I ran suicides for all of act 6 100%, and he was my second most used champ behind Ghost. Was using him all the time in AW, AQ, EQ, SQ.

    I haven’t used him more since I got suicides since he was already so dominant everywhere. Well worth the rank up, investing in him was definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my account

    I haven't really got the opportunity to fully test him out yet, but I have him at 5 star rank 5, approximately sig 150, and he does some great work in tough matchups against Korg, Electro, and some pesky node combinations. He's also a blast in the Cav EQ, but I slightly regret it because I don't know to what extent he'll really help my roster, but I'm waiting to see, since I'm still on 6.2. After reading these comments, I'm hopeful that he'll do good work for me in act 6 and beyond so we'll have to see.

    Omega Red is way better than a lot of mutant even unduped took my 6* to r3 was my first and i can't describe how much stuff i did with him (unduped) was a huge help in clearing all bleed/biohazard/... nodes
    i only awakened him after exploring abyss and that was the last thing i did on mcoc ( used him against gm he's tanky)

    He’s ok without suicides at high sig, 10 spores locked in still does good damage you just don’t have the easy access to the massive burst at the start and the healing.

    So how many of you that run OR bring Sabretooth alongside as well? For story mode
