alright, I've got a r3>4 skill and science gem. I can rank up hit monkey and sp2099 and have paragon today. I could also wait to rank up other 6 stars that are worthy of r4 (I have quicksilver, falcon, human torch, black cat). Can't make up my mind so I'm hoping people have points im missing. (Ps. I run recoil masteries)

    It doesn't matter much who you rank to get Paragon. The benefits are worth it, and the attack/health bump from r3-4 isn't that amazing.

    Get Paragon before Cyber Weekend.

    Black Cat is pretty potent with her AAR. But Monkey would hit super hard at R4. I’ve debated R4 mine but I now have a duped Valk so it’s a hard call.

    SM99 was my first R4 and while I don’t use him nearly as much now, he is very useful on any of the Spite-type nodes (AntiVenom synergy if you have him is terrific). I don’t have QS, so I can’t say about him—but I tend to think you will get more cats once you’ve hit Paragon (especially via EoP) and may have better offers BF/CM if that’s your thing. It’s not like this will be your final R4 for months.

    I’d say rank them up and forget about it.

    if you have units for cyber weekend, id advise getting paragon before it.
    If not, yo ucan wait. You arent getting the full benefit of EOP regardless.

    I have both spidey99 and quicksilver at rank 4. My other 2 rank 4’s are nimrod and apoc. My hit monkey is rank 3 but I’d prefer to take my Shang chi to rank 4 before hit monkey. Although you are running recoil masteries so hit monkey would be a very valuable champ at rank 4 with recoil masteries.

    Paragon now.

    The relative benefits particularly in regards to the availability of rank up materials is worth it in my opinion. In the time it takes to rank up "perfect" options you could likely re-earn the materials you spent to become Paragon. Especially with the update to AQ coming in season ten and Cyber Weekend both fast approaching, I wouldn't wait.

    Rank 4 Sp2099 and Hit Monkey now
    The only reason to wait would be if you have a very large number of units and want to cash in for both Thronebreaker and Paragon offers on Cyberweekend. Otherwise go for it now.

    It depends a little on what content you plan on doing, but generally speaking I'm in agreement with those that recommend ranking up those champs for Paragon now rather than later. Once you are Paragon, the resources for future r4s become way more abundant than they ever were as Thronebreaker, which means that the initial rank-ups aren't that important in the grand scheme of things.

    But both of those champions have their uses, definitely. Neither is bad. I don't know how often a high-ranked Hit-Monkey has demolished my defenders in Battlegrounds (he's one of my most-wanted champs due to that), while I've heard that Spider-Man 2099 is a beast for Alliance War.

    Spidey99 is a great champ IMO. If I had the opportunity to R4 mine, I wouldn’t hesitate.

    Personally I would aim for paragon ASAP you unlock way better rewards which is better for you.

    Not familiar with Spidey2099, but Hitmonkey routinely kicks my ass, so I say rank him.
    I would.

    Both of your options are good so you should definitely do it. Even if both of your options were bad, you should do it because being at the higher tier will give you better rewards and you’ll get more rank of resources faster and have access to better rewards going forward. Waiting will only make you miss out. Since we’re talking about Paragon here as well, your chances of having **** options to upgrade are also quite slim.

    You sure on some stuff .
    I feel like a your first rank 4's should be champs that have a huge impact on your account sp2099 and hiymt monkey are very situational hit monkey lacks utility and is very squishy and there are already champs that can do what sp2099 can do and do it better and do more ontop of that. Im not saying you shouldnt take them up at all but imo thay shouldnt be your first choices

    @Anly No Champ in the game that handles what Spidey does better than him - Passive Power Control & Buff Immunity are his domain. Two of the tippy top utilities to have in your roster.
    Instant Sasquatch lockdown with a single Heavy attack, as well.

    He's a very easy Rank 4 option.

    He dosen't have passive power Control? His power control always requires a debuff. Also buff immune is a very rarely useful piece of utility and when it is useful it isn't needed it's more of a luxury than an actual piece of utility.
    I wasn't saying he was a bad champ and that you shouldn't rank him at all, but i think we can all agree that champs exist that are way better than him.
    I think that you can rank him once you start getting r4's more regularly
