Strategies:
1) Fight against ROL Winter Soldier, gain power until almost reaching SP2 bar then spam SP1. Repeat.
2) Stop at 111 successful hits.
3) No synergy team
Contenders: Angela - unduped (will not affect the test); Drax - sig 20.
Results:
1) Angela did a total damage of 93,677
2) Drax did a total damage of 68,428
My final opinion for rank up suggestion:
ANGELA. Plus, she will do inflict more damage when against a non-bleeder champ compared to Drax.
PS: If AW doesn't show the champion class beforehand, I will definitely suggest Drax because Angela's buff will trigger Mystic Dispersion when fighting against Mystic champs - if you so choose to bring them in AW attack.
Thank you for reading this till the end.
Synergy - Mutants
Drax 117 Hits - 142.107 Damage
Angela 117 - 141.763 Damage
Synergy - None
Drax 117 Hits - 99.118 Damage
Angela 117 Hits - 110.413 Damage
So I agree with @bloodyCain and I have to add the Angela was basically at full health at the end of the fight
Drax benefits from crit teams greatly, therefore if teams do not have beefed up crits, angela pulls ahead more
UPDATE!
Kinda the same challenge but with synergy this time.
Synergy: Mutant crit rate team (two Storm, Red Magneto, Wolvie, Red Cyclops) - a total of +620 Crit Rate and +115 Crit Damage.
Strategies:
The same except I stopped at 112 hits this time and did one SP2 (didn't manage to stop at 111 and overestimated the power gained from striking when using Drax in the first place lol)
Masteries: Doesn't matter. Don't wanna make the test more complicated.
Results:
1) Angela - 110,516 damage
2) Drax - 104,257 damage
My suggestion to rank up:
Still Angela
There you go @_ASDF_ . It was a very fascinating test. Thank you for coming up with the question that gave me the chance to do the test.
Angela takes a while to build up dmg. Up to you if you have deep wounds max do drax.
Angela doesn't need to be awaken to be good. Her sig ability doesn't affect her damage output at all EXCEPT when against a duped DS and duped SW that can nullify her buffs which resulting to her damage to be average.
So save your awakening stone for now.
Edit: did 5 or so solid test runs, drax was ahead once cause he stacked something like 8 furies at one point (i personally have stacked 10+ before)
But numerically angela was on average 5-10% ahead dps-wise
If we are still talking about rank up; I would rank up Ms.Marvel if she is duped.
Keeping her power full at 3 bar will increase her attack exponentially.
Sure, Angela will finish the fight faster (haven't been tested so it could be small or big time differences) BUT if you are running suicide masteries, Angela will hurt you.
If suicides masteries is ON, and you don't wanna turn it off anytime soon, MM is more reliable.
Reason:
1) Angela relies on her specials to keep refreshing the buffs and to keep getting those buffs that help her attack damage.
2) MM is the opposite of Angela. She gains attack rate boost based on her sig ability. So keeping the 3 bar of power full will increase her damage output at its peak.
If suicide masteries is OFF, Angela is better cause the value of her Fury buff is the highest by far in the game (if I'm wrong, please let me know).
Overall, this is all just my opinion for these 2 champs. You can figure it out yourself if you choose to not accept my opinions. It's all cool.
Strategies
1) Fight against ROL Winter Soldier, gain power until almost reaching SP2 bar then spam SP1. Repeat.
2) Stop after 2 minutes.
3) No synergy team.
Masteries: Doesn't matter. Don't wanna make the test more complicated. HOWEVER, I do have 2 points in Deep Wounds. It's the same masteries in the previous 2 tests.
Results:
1) Angela - 80,449 damage
2) Drax - 94,472 damage
My suggestion to rank up:
Still Angela
Reason:
Her damage output will not affect so much when against non-bleeders champs.
PS:
1) Just what @CammonRo mentioned, Drax is great against Mordo and those 'evaders' champs because his dash medium can counter the evasion, however, I personally don't see a lot of situation where you need to use Drax to fight them. If you REALLY HAVE to fight them in any content of the game AND you don't have other great champs that can counter Evasion, for example AA, Crossbones, Quake; then I would consider to rank up Drax.
2) When against a bleeder champ, Drax will definitely inflict more total damage ESPECIALLY when you have maxed Deep Wounds masteries. However, I'm not really concern about bleed in the game hence I only put 2 points in there. So, that could be my biased.
PPS:
1) I didn't do Mutant crit rate team this time. I'm a bit busy so maybe next time.
2) Pardon my English if there's any grammatical error or misspelled words.
Hopefully that help @SmokinSurfer @_ASDF_
Angela is the best champ to use with suicides. You're forgetting her regen. It's just barely enough to cover for both suicides and recoil. She can run suicides all day long, spamming all her specials and she'll still have all her hp
