He still hits like a truck without OR synergy, I do not run OR synergy and still Colossus has great damage + utility.
His immunity make him good for so many nodes combination.
He was my one of the MVP for becoming Cavalier.
Don't remember any path where I'd have brought Colossus over him.
As for rotations, nothing special. You can wing it however you like. Parry heavy for furies, maybe go for one SP 3 then cycle SP 1 and 2 afterwards. Overall, he's a very flexible character. Probably has the most flexible playstyle in the game.
How is Colossus is more useful for becoming Cav than Hype because the most difficult fights I recall are the 6.1.2 Sentinel with biohazard which I guess Colossus could work for, the EMP mod ultron which neither I guess would be ideal for?
Then the Crossbones which Hype is definitely better for now since he's poison immune and Colossus isn't, you'd definitely need willpower and then you'd still probably die to parry chip damage
The final Sentinel boss, which isn't particularly hard just looooooong, stun immune, no fury for Colossus but Hype is much easier with his power gain so special intercepts as long as you watch the plagued mind, heavy countering if possible and his access to DoT. His dupe is great but he can still do these fights without them. Colossus would also be playing with class disadvantage and then the other penalty he faces from the nodes, I forgot what
The other 3 bosses, even a Cyclops could do.
Maybe Cyclops can't do the Sabretooth. I'd take Hype over Colossus tho.
I can confidently say if I had to pick one to have over the other, it would be hype. I used him more in 6.1 and beyond.
Tbh unduped hype I lean a little more towards duped col in general but duped I def like Hype better, and for Cav he is better
You want to bait sp1 so also ideally someone who doesn't rely on specials. So..Hype good.
The final Sentinel boss, he has nodes that give him advantage over every class but cosmic. Additionally, he will gain analysis charges twice as fast with Colossus, on top of the 20% class disadvantage.
With Hype, being a cosmic champ, instead Sentinel gains those analysis charges slower and Hype has the class advantage.
He's already pretty tanky, at 100 analysis he's even tankier.
There's also Plagued Mind, so Hype has additonal power gain which works in his favour. I wish I had him when I did this fight but also I've never played with an unduped Hype.
Regardless, he doesn't need a specific counter. It's just a tanky Sentinel with stun immunity and power drain. Archangel could do that fight if one was patient enough to play for 5 years. I don't know your other options but again, Hype good.
For biohazard Sentinel, Colossus would work better since he's bleed immune. Neither would be great for that EMP mod Ultron, someone shock immune or strong AAR to shut it down. I used Nebula for both these and built up to 10 electroshock charges and just intercepted. It took a few revives though but I don't remember much.
Vision arkhus or medusa? They would also be good for final Sentinel and Medusa for XBones.
