I don’t want to overstate because there’s a lot of testing to be done, but right now, as of this moment, I am considering taking my what was already pre-buff 4/55 Civil Warrior to R5.
I said in another thread that I recognize that the DPS isn’t game breaking, but I like this buff enough, along with the utility the kit still has, to strongly consider it because I already liked playing the kit, but just couldn’t get anything down fast enough to want to play it more
In theory, you could spam sp1 without ever converting them to fury until you have 50+ armor ups and then convert them so as to just launch straight to the maximum damage, but that’ll be extremely tedious. If you try it let me know though!
Oh wait also Sinister has Prey on the Weak there. You’re gonna be giving him a ton of power with your conversions from armor to fury (but awakened CW can handle that, in theory)
The only caveat for me, is that if you used the heimdall synergy for the fury and spammed your sp1 to refresh armours, you’d be able to do it. But he’d have low damage and there’d be better options.
What I will do, is test it later though!
I'll be uploading the Solo sometime tomorrow to youtube
According to his strengths, he should excel in long fights but his Fury refresh mechanic needed more love or thoughts. I THINK HIS FURY SHOULD ALSO HAVE REFRESHED WHEN THE OPPONENT USE A SPECIAL IN ADDITION WHAT HE HAD JUST LIKE SHE-HULK'S. And this would have also given him the opportunity to keep Armor and Fury at the same time for a decent amount of time. C'mon he was meant for a long time.
I said in a comment how the champion buffs are healthy for the game, one of the best decisions Kabam ever made but I'm having a feeling Kabam is being overly stingy or have been with some of these buffs.
- CW, a better fury buff length or additional refresh wont break him
- Hood, his utility could have been kept with his damage and he'll fine and not OP
- Angela, armor break 7secs is too short given it activates upon start of special
The idea with some of these reworks are awesome but needs just a lil touch to make them really fun and good to use. The game is getting more and more champs and ONE WAY to keep players interested is the ability to use several champs and enjoy them not having to stick just a handful of champs.
Just a thought
Edit:
- DDHK, he would have been a decent champ without his lowered regen rate, he wouldn't have been OP smh
But the problem is with the playstyle itself. Dashing back and holding block is a terrible way to manage a fight, since it eventually gets you cornered with your back against the wall. And that's a recipe for failure. No thank you. At this moment, I have no interest in ranking him up.
Then I guess, this is what I'm saying. I don't enjoy playing him. And despite his occasionally useful utilities, he does not bring anything unique to the table, in comparison to the Tech champs I have already ranked up / plan to rank up further, so he will remain an arena champ for me.
Unfortunately while he’s meant for long fights, I don’t think he’s meant for abyss. He can’t take tech fights cause no armour break, can’t take cosmic cause no nullify, can’t take skill due to the AAR on basic attacks, I’m pretty sure he couldn’t take mystics because the fate seal would get rid of buffs when he refreshed.
He could take science since he has a debuff on his heavy, and can take mutant as well. But 2/6 classes isn’t really great for an abyss champ.
The good thing is, his ramp up is not too much effort so that you feel fine taking him into act 6 and act 7, it’s all about finding the space to refresh.
While not unique, when one other champion has it, I’d say it’s pretty nice. Match ups aren’t always favourable with Thing. And CW hits harder than him, and doesn’t need a full team synergy.
With regards to getting backed up against the wall, I’ve found refreshing during specials best, it means you don’t lose any space and can carry on normally. Either that, or dash back so they run at you, then parry and hold block. The timer starts when you do that, so it’s a free refresh.
I get that his playstyle isn’t for everyone though, it’s tough to get hold of. I definitely think he’ll be a champ that some people hate, I’m glad I’m someone who loves using him.
