Because of his insane DoT, AAR, Heal Block, and AAR Immunity, AA is pretty much the best possible option in any possible non-poison/bleed immune matchups. Which there are a ton of.
Poco has the best Purify counter in the game, immunities, lots of debuffs, lots of AAR, his burst damage on his specials bypass damage cap nodes, and he makes half the Mutant class insane.
There's no contest.
Stun immune doesn’t stop Magneto or other champions from being effective, but it does cripple them. It all depends on how many matchups each mutant is viable with.
Since there are a lot of bleed and/or poison-immune champs, Archangel suffers more. Colossus has more immunities to debuffs than Apocalypse, but to get the best out of him you need Omega Red synergy.
In terms of how useful each mutant is at their very best in endgame content, I would rank them as such:
1) Magneto
2) Omega Red
3) Colossus
4) Apocalypse
5) Archangel
Magneto and Omega Red have very wide useability and they are especially good against some of the harder and annoying stuff out there. Apoc is a bit harder to place, as so much of his value comes from his effect on the rest of the team as much as his own abilities, but he's either with them or just below them depending on how you want to value his useability. I think Colossus and AA are jockeying for fourth on that list. Where AA is good, he's better than Colossus. But Colossus has a lower downside across all matchups. So if you're looking for something great in a bunch of match ups and pretty good everywhere else, Colossus wins. If you're looking for something extremely powerful in a few match ups and you don't care about any other match ups, AA wins.
So Omega thus doesnt work for 10 of 194 champs in the game. Colossus is also heavily gimped by anythinf antibuff. There arent that many bleed and poison, and many of them are terrible defenders.
Also, Act 5 isnt endgame content 😉.
In regards to the top mutants: It’s fun hearing about who would make the top 3 or 5, but I am more interested in everyone’s opinion about who is the best mutant overall. I think Magneto is the best overall. What do you think, Masterpuff?
- Magneto is so hard to rank, no one is clamoring to bring in Mags unless the opponent is metal or you need prowess.
- OR sucks to play without suicides, maybe he's still functional but I hate doing it because it's a drag.
- Colossus has great utility, because you know, immunities are utility, especially when you're talking incinerate/coldsnap immune.
- Endgame players ain't a monolith, don't use what they would or wouldn't do to justify stuff. I've done everything, and I stopped using colossus only because I have 10 R3 6*, and sadly lack a 6* colossus.
- Tiers are a way WAY better option to rank champs. Top 5 mutants are all within the same tier imo, and I don't think I can really fault anyone for believing that Apoc is better than OR, or AA is the best mutant.
OP - pick guilly or colossus, it's really whoever you prefer.
They’re all great and have different uses. Why argue?
Omega
Mags
AA
And then everything Else is disputable. But my personally opinion is that Prof X is on the level of Colossus. He can solo so many abyss fights and has some good utility.
R3 6* Apoc, r2 6* Namor(sig 75), r5 sig 200 Platpool, r5 sig 200 Omega, r2 6* Sig 40 Cable, r5 Domino, r5 sig 50 AA, r5 Mags, r5 sig 180 Colossus, r5 sig 100 Wolvie, r5 Prof X, r5/r1 Sunspot, and a r1 Emma. Also a r1 6* Havok.
So id say i have a good amount of experience with the mutant class. The only ones who i havent tested as horsemen are emma, Prof X, and Havok.
Having used them all, i can confidently stand by my top 3.
