OR - Bleed resistance, Poison immune, No damage back
Red Magneto - All metal champs.
Colossus - Havok, Incinerate immune, Coldsnap immune
Emma frost - Immunity, nuff said.
Apoc - Horseman, Tenacity, Disorient immune.

Had a really tough time between Emma and AA, but shock immunity won it for Emma since there are no mutants that are shock immune. Only Storm x is resistant to shock.

I love how almost every comment has omega red as an option
He still many uses in the meta

Not really. You can look at it that way. But this is a scenario where your choices can interact with each other via synergies, among other considerations.

AA, Magneto, Omega/Sabre, Colossus would cover a whole lot of things. That's essentially 5 immunities, a damage reflect counter (including limbo), with AAR and heal block against anyone who bleeds/poisons or is metal.

One reason is because there are very few mutants with poison immunity. Only cable somewhat, iceman and Emma frost in diamond form come to. Mind other than Omega red. Other than that he can easily tackle bleed, poison, damage back and has a very potent regen not to mention nothing is really immune to his degen.

Good team. Mags is at least resistant to shock debuffs. It's something. AA could have provided you with a non-metal heal block/AAR though?

All of you say Red Mags... Who says theres metal champs?

There generally are atleast 2 metal champs per path.

Personally, if it's a blind quest, I try not to take AA. There are so many bleed immune and poison immune champs in the game that I feel it is too risky. Another reason for taking Emma is she is only champ immune to passive shock from EMP in the mutant class. Red mags is only immune to shock debuff. She has synergy with both Red Mags and colossus which make them both better.

Red mags is also good against Non-metal champs since he applies a good bleed from sp3. There are only 9 champs that are bleed immune non-metal champs in the game for which you can use other champs.(Colossus, Groot, King groot, Iceman, GR, White mags, Man thing, Terrax, Thing)

I think mutant is very stacked that you can almost do any content with a single class. You have stryfe now who is good for long content so almost everything is covered. People will struggle a little bit to do it for every class.

Still worth looking into. We'll just have to work with what's available. 🤷‍♂️

Omega - Poison, Bleed, Thorns, Purify, and his passive damage can get past a whole lot of annoying mechanics

Emma - Has every immunity I could possibly want and more, plus is an excellent evade counter, has tanky qualities, plus a few other niche things I might need

Magneto - Pretty Obvious, but will be the best option for any metal, who tend to be the most annoying defenders

Archangel - Can shut down anyone that bleeds and poisons. Covering the gaps Mags doesn’t, and he can pretty much do any matchup where he can bleed and poison

For my final pick, I was a bit undecided. Omega can take Havok if I meet one, but I was concerned about the lack of buff and power control. So it was either Psylocke or Rogue.

But because a lot of buffs can be countered by other champs, I’m going with Psylocke for power control. Really the only major weakness I foresee this team having is Vision Aarkus, but I’m sure I could Omega that down

Of course, always love a challenge.

@will-o-wisp can you at least unmark this thread as Abuse so it gets bumped up once I update the class for which the question is? Seriously.
