6* awakening gem dilemma

Wolviex81 · December 2022

not sure who i should use the generic awakening gem on. all the champs listed are on rotation (except aegon). not sure which one benefits the most. originally i thought nick fury, but then i made a push for 6* champs and got a few that might also benefit from the awakening gem. plus, i've been using nick just fine unawakened. same for kitty. i'm not too worried about the high sig, thats something i can work on. i switch back and forth from suicides. i mainly try to complete cavalier eq each month. i havent finished act 7, or variants, or abyss.

A lot of champs there that benefit from being awakened, but Nick Fury is still the top choice. Everything about him becomes better when awakened and he becomes a more versatile champ. If you already use Ghost a lot then I would suggest her as well. After them, I’d go Kitty. She gets decently better when awakened, but mostly she does get cheesier and becomes more suicide friendly since she will no longer take any damage while phased.
All of them are helpful for clearing content while Ghost is generally less helpful for EQ because the nodes never benefit her.

ignore "all champs on rotation". that was from when i was going to do a poll.
i'm still trying to learn ghost. i want to use her more but i'm just not very good at her play style.
a lot of these champs are new to me. like scorpion, he's awesome, i'm just not too familiar with him and his awaken ability. i just got caiw last night. i have him as a 5* maxed sigs so i know he's great.
i always hear aegon is awesome but i only ever had him as an unduped 6* and i never really knew where to use him.
and then there's Mr Fantastic, ihulk and overseerer which i just discovered how awesome they are.
i'm think you're right and nick is going to be the best bet.

I'd personally say Kitty before Nick; largely because she's fun to play whilst he's a very boring content-clearing machine. But if that's what you need, go with him. He's a monster.

Overseer is great, but needs a high Sig for his best damage.
Scorpion is great, but his Sig is a luxury; and probably not worth a generic Gem.

The whole "I suck with ghost because of her playstyle" has always confused me.

Don't get caught up in
Phase>hit>phase>hit>phase>hit mechanic. That is really only good for a handful of matches. If you phase into MLM/MLLM/MLLLM/MLLLL it doesn't really matter outside of evade champs/nodes.

If anything the hardest part of playing her is without the wasp synergy. But even then its just timing for the special.

Don't let seeing a video of someone phasing>intercepting>repeat make you belive you HAVE to play her that way. Weave some heavies in and.

i have a hard time with timing her phasing whether its hit, phase, hit or mlm, phase, mll, phase. the defender almost always blocks me and i end up parry fighting just to salvage the match.
