Not sure why 18 voted yes, but nobody ever uses him unless they are fans of the character, isn't even good on defense anymore.
I mean when you ask "how good" and only give options for "is he good", you won't get the most helpful results. He is not a BAD pull and I think that is what most of us are saying.
He is really good for the cavalier nodes in monthly EQ. You can spam heavies (which armour break), build a ton of furies and he then hits like a truck. Not too much else he is that good for as without that extra fury damage hes a bit of a noodle but definitely great for Cav difficulty
He’s good for evade, buffet, non contact, spite, stuff like mixmaster, hugely underrated power control, easy access to AB and heal block etc etc. You can take him into fights with bleed nodes and he shrugs it. Was one of my MVPs for variant 1 and 3 plus a chunk of act 6. Slow fights mostly but super versatile and dependable.
Behind Warlock, he is my favorite Tech champion. Sig 200 and he never leaves my AQ team.
I would go as far as to say that an awakened IMIW is harder to kill and more sustainable than an awakened Corvus. Who also never leaves my AQ team. He is THAT good.
Ive grown to really want him, an ally member of mine had a naturally sig 100 one, who he r3ed, he looks really impressive and fun. I would debate using an ag.
He is not the best tech out there, but he is a pretty solid champ who can bring a lot to the table. He has a pretty unique method of power control, good heal block, useful immunity in bleed and coldsnap (though they are circumstantial), and even a soft check to evaders. He is really good for the tech cavalier EQ as he has easy armour breaks off heavy and l2, as well as his own easy heal block. His damage takes awhile to ramp up but if you can stack plasmas it's surprising how much damage he can actually do. The stealth suit Spidey synergy makes it easier to do so. And he has a solid synergy with cap IW that increases his own block proficiency, while also increasing the duration of petrify, weakness and bleed debuffs for beardo. Useful for both champions.
All in all he's not a bad pull, but it's up to you if he's your style of champ that you want to invest in.
It’s a good pull but not an amazing pull, he’s got a nice variety of utility, and solid ramp up, though he doesn’t do anything the best, and his ramp up requires somewhat impractical levels of aggression, and if you want any reasonable chance to not lose the ramp you need the stealthy synergy

And I’m dead serious.
