Hi all, not going to make this a poll as I just want some feedback / thoughts on who would be the better option for my current roster and future progression. I'm sure everyone has their favorite overall, but personal bias aside, who would you R3 and why? Here's some background:
- Prestige doesn't matter for me - my ally is for fun only.
- Nebula is at sig 40 and Ultron is unduped
- I have synergies to consider with 6* R3 G2099 unduped, 6* R3 Warlock unduped, 6* R2 Hulkbuster unduped and 6* R1 Proxima unduped but I doubt I'd bring Proxima in most scenarios or bother to rank her unless she ends up making Nebula even crazier, which, with the faster ramp up now, probably won't be anytime soon.
- I think Ultron has an easy play style, that armor up buff is great and reliable heal
- Nebula was my first 6* and her shock damage is crazy good, but missing that armor up buff and there is still a lot of block holding to really maximize that damage.
- I'm not running suicides. Even though I have a team that supports them, I like throwing those specials. I literally put them on yesterday for 30 minutes and immediately took them off after remembering how gimped they make most of my other favorite champs to play.
Ultimately, it will come down to my own personal decision, but any blaring thoughts about what you would do and why?

I've got Ultron at R3 and he hits like a truck, has some nice utility, and he is extremely sustainable. The only thing I don't like about him is the evade mechanic. I really, really, really wish it didn't activate when a perfectly timed block would activate - it's killed the rotation and flow of the fight quite a few times.
So many champs... so little resources
- robot counter, simple 5 amp charges. However, holding on to it may mean you don't parry for reasonable period during the fight (eg. until your sp3 where you can reliably gain some charge to reduce robot ability). You can offload amp charges for damage but can mess up with your AAR on these robots. In general you have to be cautious when you trade this utility for damage.
- (no adjective) regen, I guess "if you make a mistake" regen works. Would have been better if it was ultron style regen. In cases where you want to hold block when it's needed, having a reliable regen can help mitigate some the damage from blocking
- post-buff gives her an alternate playstyle with fewer holding of block via her sp3 + sig ability. However, you need a responsive AI to benefit from her sp3 Weapon Overcharge abilities. Having to bait specials and/or managing nodes can prevent you from fully benefiting from it by expiring too early. I wished they made it such that it is paused at least during the opponent's specials attacks. That way you're not punished for an unresponsive AI given the efforts it took to get to an sp3.
[ To linger a little on this point, another example is Gamora...something as small as combo into heavy to refresh her buffs even with a timer could have lift her up but of course they didn't think of it ]
I just get disappointed with some of these little things that could go a long way to helping some of these champs but for some reason they miss them. I wonder if they test them enough or not at all, I doubt the latter but who knows.
In general, I like her, her immunity combination is nice and can be valuable in some cases. Also she can dish out some massive damage. I'd say r2 Nebula is good for now unless you have abundant resources and will say the same for Ultron especially cos he's unduped. My 2cents.
