Help me choose my first Tech R3

Hi all -

Recently managed to form my first Tech R3. My 5* Tech roster is pretty stacked, but as much as possible want to bring some new capability with my first R3.

While I do have Guilly 2099, and I know in the hands of a great player she is the strongest option, I’m at best a mediocre player so maintaining her at a high hit count is a challenge, and frankly I find the mechanic of needing to end her fights with a S3 really annoying. I will R2 her for her utility when I can get some additional mats together, but don’t see taking her to R3 until I’m a better player.

Given this, I’m leaning pretty heavily towards Ultron or maybe Nimrod. Both are good options, but feel like Ultron has a bit of an edge as he hits a bit harder against non mutants as long as they bleed.

I also have a tech AG I could use on whoever I rank. Tempted to use it - particularly on Ultron - but will probably hold off until at least Friday in case Kabam does a AG upgrade option in the upgrade store.

For reference, here is my ranked 6* roster (Cable and up are ranked, and Aegon and AA are going to R3 at the next level up event) as well as my Tech roster:

    I would Guil 99, ultron is nice to but I think g99 would be a stronger option.

    I wish I had a 6* nimrod to r3. The role he fills (obliterating mutantkind) he's second to none at. I just maxed my 5* over taking another 6* to r3 and he was a monster for me exploring cav eq as my mutant destroyer. Being your first tech r3 you may need wider use but if you can afford to use the rank up to fill that role he's your guy.

    Thanks! That was not the case for my first 30-35 6*’s, but the last 6 months the RNG has been kind to me.

    I do definitely like Nimrod and agree that he is a mutant destroyer. However, since this is my first R3 I feel like I want as broad a use as possible. Ultron also does a great job laying Mutants to waste, but also hits pretty strongly outside of the mutant class as long as they bleed.

    Ultron is solid, but gully is better, much better. She carried me everywhere, she does all eq, sq, act 6 and act 7 with great utility and some of the highest damage in the game

    You definitely seem to be forgetting some other tech champs... 2nd to none is a bit of a stretch

    I disagree, I have a R5 awakened Nimrod and he destroys almost all mutants better than any other tech champ. There’s just a few that may have better options. But between the sig ability and the ability to convert regen and prowess to shock debuffs, he ramps up incredibly fast and deals massive damage.
    That said as his first R3 I think Ultron is a better overall choice. But Nimrod is a close second.

    You have very solid roster you can't got wrong with either Ultron or Nimrod. Both have their own places in meta
    If I were you, I would R3 g2099 without any hesitation. I have her at r3 and she was my 1st tech and 2nd r3 of my roster.
    So bring so much to table , that it's hard to pass on her even if you have warlock too( tho both have different utilities.and I have g2099 and Ghost at r3 and I use g2099 more than her). It's actually misunderstanding that you need to finish very fight with sp3. I use her in map 6 with epic mods and I only ramp up for boss fights. She can melt fights between 90k to 150k even un ramped in Aq. For me she is best Tech champ ( not generalizing as Ghost is no 1).Giver her try.

    Don't get me wrong, I still love Nimrod and currently he is #1 on my wishlist, but Sentinel rivals him in every way.

    People are really sleeping on this guy. He was my first R3 and I use him all the time. Best power control in the game, great damage, utility, regen. Pair him up with Cap IW and it's even better.

    Who would you say is the better of the 2?
