Underrated champions

This is a discussion to get people's opinion but who are some champs in MCOC that you think
are underrated and deserve more recognition from each class?

Someone I never looked at or used except in arenas until my Thing on BG's defence got wrecked over and over again.

Falcon.

I knew he was good but felt I had enough utility in my roster to never need to use him.

Boy was I wrong.

Agree 100%. I use him every war and I would have r5 him if I got a skill gem. Counters the most annoying defenders. Probably my most used champ (I don’t have herc sry)

Magrailothos

War Machine

He's a really dependable, adaptable champion with a couple of minor weaknesses.

Very strong, permanent Armour buff
Specials can't be Evaded
SP1 strips Prowess and does decent DoT
Power mitigation through Suppression debuffs
Can easily Heal Block the opponent using Despair
Very long and fairly potent Armour break on SP2 that can be refreshed permanently
Great Regen in Awakened ability
Prefights can be used on himself or others to boost Attack, Cleanse debuffs, Extend your own debuffs, or boost Energy resistance.

He's a great option for general questing, and particularly for a lot of tricky mutants. As his damage is all Physical, he's actually a better option for Bishop than Nimrod is, especially if you use his Fortify prefight for an Energy resistance boost.

The fact he can't repair his Armour if it's broken is a problem for him - it would be nice if he could do this. But I understand that was a deliberate design choice.

And whilst his Prefights do work for the Cleanse and Energy resistance, annoyingly the Attack boost is lower than it should be - https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/309663/are-war-machines-prefights-bugged

Elsa: easy intercept, great burst damage, great counter to tricky defenders (like Mr Fantastic, Quicksilver, and Scorpion) plus incinerate or coldsnap for evading champs. She can also purify debuffs easily and with a Relic, she's a beast in BGs

Anti-Venom: amazing damage from doing Sp3, Sp1, then Sp2 (with Sp1 debuff) and repeating for long fights and tons of debuffs

Longshot: simple rotation, Pure of Heart gives great bleed burst damage on sp1 and sp2 gives incinerate burst

Angela: Her damage just mainly comes from building up power. Sp1 gives a good fury buff and I dont see people talking about her often

Mysterio: for the longest time, people slept on him until BGs. One special or a heavy landing and the whole thing could make the whole fight go wrong, especially if you mess up the timing

Storm X: prowess buildup is simple and an easy access to slow to counter unstoppable and evade. And the Storm Relic makes her so much better

These are just the champs that first to mind in terms of whos underrated along with the previously mentioned champs in this thread

People actually use longshot quite often in aw and bgs. Even in story content he is cheesy af. And Angela isn't underrated at all

Superstar_1126

@Superstar_1126 it’s not the fastest ramp up against regular champs, but definitely doable as you see your damage increasing along the way, so it’s not a painful process. To just simply say it, you have to throw a lot of sp1’s to build up prowesses (and some furies etc.) and eventually can throw a nice big sp2.

If the opponent shrugs off debuffs by himself the ramp goes relatively fast!

Her sig definitely helps her, so yeah I think it’s important.

Thanks. I tested her out and I enjoyed the results using just this rotation
