**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

I know I’m gonna get so many disagrees. But that’s ok. I still think Corvus is the best cosmic champ who covers so many scenarios in the game.
Since 6 star version of hype and Medusa have been added. My cosmic rank is:
1 corvus
2 Hercules
3 Hyperion
4 CGR
5 CMM
6 medusa
7 Angela
8 Odin
9 venom
10 pending

Top 4: Corvus, Hercules, CGR, Hyperion (Not in any specific order, don't want to get into ranking them, my mind changes all the time)
5) Angela
6) Venom
7) Venompool
8) CMM
9) Medusa
10) Odin
“Oh I have to put suicides on for this path”
Or “oh I have to take off suicides for this path” ?
Suicides are less versatile, and in a game with hundreds of thousands of combinations of champions, nodes, bosses and paths you need versatility.
Nothing against suicides, but it’s never a case that you *have* to put suicides on. I don’t run suicides and I’ve completed every single piece of content in the game, there’s never been a fight I have been unable to do because of suicides. But you hear a lot people saying, damn, I need to take suicides off.
But, the next 2/3 are tougher. Could easily see an argument for Angela, Odin and venom over CGR and CMM *if you already had Corvus and Hercules at 3/45 and possibly Hyperion*.
Never been an arena grinder though. That's the only place that suicides are really worth having imo
Corvus: guaranteed crits, armor breaks, unblockable sp2, power control with sp2 (if opponent is at 3 bars of power), and glaive charges that can minimize bleed/coldanap/shock damage. Passive immortality when awakened, lasting as long as you have glaive charges.
Hyperion: poison immunity, regen, incinerates, armor break, insane power gain, passive cosmic potential, furies. Extended buffs with sig, increasing his damage output substantially.
Cosmic ghost rider: great power control, heal block, fate seal, bleed/incinerate immune, incinerates, armor breaks, cruelty/precision, vigilance, aptitude, power gain, fury, and every buff and debuff being very potent.
Angela: regen, armor up, fury, precision, armor break, aptitude. Sig grants her opponent less nullify, auto block ability accuracy, and damaging debuff duration for each buff on angela.
Imo the list goes:
Hercules
Corvus
Hyperion
Angela (ready for the disagrees)
CGR
But i find it better to compare the last 5 cosmics since it’s clear who the top 5 are anyway.

Venom

There are countless more examples. It also makes certain champions bad, like Doom, Professor X, Apoc, Spider-Gwen, where if you use them with suicides, they lose all their health, or you can't get their utility. (Also makes DDNF downright impossible, but I don't know if I want to open that particular can of worms). But if you don't run suicides, there is no champion that is unplayable. There are champions who clearly wouldn't get the benefit from suicides like Omega, Diablo, Ghost etc, but can anyone tell me that those champions need suicides? I've used all 3 and (not to brag) but I've used them to good effect.
Apart from increased attack, there is one pro I'd give to suicides you don't get without suicides which is when champions are resistant to bleed/poison, as you can heal with them. Sometimes for those like Omega Red and Corvus it is to offset the suicides damage, as you'll heal about 10% at the start of the fight, so enough for 2 specials to cancel out that heal. (please correct me if I'm wrong I've just looked at a few YouTube vids of it). But then champs like Diablo (and Kitty Pryde to some extent) just heal the whole time, which is a crazy benefit, and pulling him last week has made me regret not having suicides, literally only for that reason.
The last point I'd make is champs like Ghost, I-Hulk, and again Kitty Pryde and Diablo, who remove the recoil aspect. Ghost and Kitty can phase the damage, I-Hulk takes it as gamma which is crazy good, and Diablo reduces it while poisoned. Those are the few champs that ignore suicides cons, and amplify the pros.
So yeah, that ended up longer than I thought, but that's my take on suicides, I tried to make it as balanced as I can, since it's easy for me to say suicides bad. I just think the cons of versatility and utility in terms of playstyle and champion use being lost far outweighs a few champs (easily usable without suicides as well) being better.
Though without suicides, arena is even more painful than it already is lol
My list is:
1) Venom
2) CGR
3) Hype
4) Venompool
5) idk yet
Just like yours it is highly subjective and easy to disagree with. But as ancient romans used to say, De Gustas non es disputandum.
Still pissed it took them a month of us playing against him in EQ and buying his crystals before saying 'Whoops, that ability was a bug' without even a word of warning.
Gripe aside, not gonna bother listing mine. The top 10 are roughly the same top 10 for everybody, it's just the order that's different. Top Cosmics play a variety of roles, so it depends on what you're doing at the time.
Like, my favorite cosmic is still CGR. He can get neutered by many nodes, but I put a really high value on how much time he saves me in straightforward content.
Not even a single mention of him on the bottom 5, when an argument can be made to put him above angela.
But I know that I won't get him even when he comes in the featured. My luck is just mostly trash.🥲
2. Herc
3. Corvus
4. Hype
5. Angela
6. CMM
7. Venom
8. Surfer
9.Odin
10. Terrax
Honorable mentions: Medusa, venompool
I don’t use suicides, and I don’t have herc at all, but I have seen and heard great things about him. Hype and Corvus can be pretty interchangeable for me. I really like Corvus, but his immortality just dosn’t work for me as well as I think Herc’s does. He also has a limit/timer on his main damage which can get annoying some times.
