For those of you lucky enough to have a 5 Star Wolverine

So... I pulled a 5 Star Wolverine and awakened him with 167 signature stones and took him to Rank 5. When he’s a Horseman of Apocalypse he’s just SO good. He can easily clear an entire path with his regeneration (I don’t even have him maxed) and his critical bleeds are just unbelievable. He doesn’t rely on parry, doesn’t need to use specials, and even if he’s facing a bleed immune opponent, he can still do decent damage (and have a chance to regenerate).

Overall, I think he’s a top 5 mutant with the synergy. Am I off base here? I DON’T run suicides but based on my mastery build, here’s my top 5 mutants (in no particular order).

Red Magneto
Archangel
Omega Red
Colossus
Wolverine

He's good by his own but not top 5. I have a deep mutie roster and he's so fun to play (mine is sig 170). Although with synergies he's top 5, and as a horseman he's even better. But mags, OR, colossus, AA, apoc and PX are better imho.

Apocalypse is better than Horseman Wolverine.

After clearing the entire path by himself first boss v7

Top 5 is tough, but he’s definitely up there. I would say he’s even better with suicides because he can regen back all the damage taken from specials or bleed/poison.

He is freakin powerhouse, but mutant home is too stacked imo. He has really strong abilities as Horseman, you can even make argument to bypassing DoTs, but that's the case only if rng is on your side.
Top 5 would be Apoc, AA, Magneto, OR, Colossus, I dont know much about Prof X

Top 5 Mutants as a horseman, maybe 6th or 7th as he is pretty one dimensional as a champion. But for raw damage, on a fight he can be used in, top 5 easy. Comes out of fights at 100% in seconds

I tested him with LOL Red Hulk and he did it in 152 hits. As a comparison, i re-did the fight with 6*R2 CGR and he took 147 hits.

That's impressive, but hit counts don't mean much. CGR has big multi-hit combos and a lot of Wolverines damage is from DoT. Apples and oranges. I love my wolverine and have him 5/65/40... but there's a little of mutants that crush as horseman.

Probs not top 5, but excellent for sure, even without Horseman

Yeah and also CGR being 6*R2 gave him a slight advantage. Would be interesting if Wolverine was available as a 6*.

Reference

Logically incorrect. The whole description is about Wolverine becomes horseman, which means you must bring Apocolypse together. Then you have tired them up already. Top 5 are supposingly to work well on standalone basis. Play him on standalone basis for a month and comment again. I’m not saying Wolverine is not a good champ, yet there are many good standalone choice in mutant class.

Regen and big damage is great but there are so many Mutants that have much more utility. No way he's top 5.

Shadowstrike

Top 10, absolutely.
Top 5, that's where it gets muddy but agreed that not even Max sig does soooo much more for survivability.

I love having 5 star Wolverine but they need to bump his health. It's that same situation I have with Moon Knight where he's clearly the best choice for the fight but because his health pool is so low, the game would automatically choose anybody else to fight that fight even if they have class disadvantage and are three hits from being dead, LOL
