Warlock will be in the Titan Pool. Is he still worth r4ing as a 6*?

Most people I know aren’t r4ing champs like bishop or hulk as theyre in the 7* pool.

Some are also not taking up Shang to r4 as he’ll be in the titan pool.

Warlock however is different in that the dupe and especially the sig 200 can play a role on defense compared to the unawakened 7*

    warlock will also be in the bas 7* pool in december.
    so IMO take him up if you will get good use before you can maybe get him as a 7*.
    think about how long it will take.
    personally i have warlock as a 6* at r4.
    i will not take him to r5 however
    i will be not opening any 7* until after he is in the base pool.

    I can see why people are hesitant about ranking up 6*s that are in the current 7* pool. I feel the same. It's simply a fairly high chance of pulling specific champions right now.

    However, as the pool expands, the chances of pulling a specific champion decrease drastically. Unless Kabam hands out Titan shards way more generously than I anticipate them to, I don't think any of us can count on pulling anyone in particular from their time in that crystal. When Warlock enters the basic 7* pool in December, it will be almost twice the size it is now. At that point, I have a feeling that the "I will probably be able to pull this champ as a 7* so I'll hold off on ranking up my 6*" feeling will dissipate.

    My advice - at least when it comes to champs that you have as 6*s but not yet as 7*s - is that they are probably safe to take to r4 at the very least. I have my Warlock (and a couple of other 7* champions) at 6r4 and have no regrets. I'm also pumping both him and Titania full of sig stones.

    Keep in mind that Ascension will also allow you to rank them up even further. Between that and the ability to more freely sig them up, I don't think 7*s will overtake their 6* equivalents anytime soon. If Ascension hadn't been on the horizon, I might have felt differently, but as it stands, I think you're better of ranking up the champions you currently have rather than the champions you might pull in the future. Especially as the chances of pulling those specific 7*s get slimmer and slimmer as times goes on.

    I had that dilemma as well. I decided to R4 him which he currently is but would never max him which i initially intended to.

    Still worth it. You could get lucky and grab him your first pull in December. Or you could go years without him as a 7*. If you need him now, rank him.

    Which is why i have him at r4.
    And why i was alluding to the fact op should consider ranking him

    Not sure why so many disagrees.

    Is your 6* Warlock awakened? Warlock benefits a lot from being awakened imo, doesn't need high sigs but way better awakened. Your chances of getting let alone duping him in a titan crystal are slim to none. On that note has Kabam made any announcement on when we can expect to see 7* AGs and Sig Stones?

    Full disclosure I have had him R5 sig 200 for some time now and don't regret it a bit. Top 5 tech champ in any situation and arguably the very best in some situations.

    May as well wait for the 8*

    Seriously though, at the rate most people will open 7* for the next year or more waiting only makes sense for some champs, warlock is not one of them.

    I just took warlock to rank 5. Who know if I’ll ever pull him as a 7s.

    Yeah this was the reason why i think Warlock is different than hyperion/shang chi because he benefits from both the dupe and the sig 200.

    Would you sig 200 him over future antman?

    Well they are when the titan crystal champs enter basic.
    But as to if any others will join basic. Who knows.

    I dunno but you should definitely keep talking about it, because that’s helping.
