S200 King Groot or Hulkling

Main focus is Battlegrounds

I know Hulkling is the better champ, but 200 sigs for only 3 extra seconds on that fury. Does he still want those sigs more than KG.

KG on the other hand seems to only be viable for robots at which the sig wont really be needed, and for defense, if they stagger neutralize or nullify his regen, then the sigs wont even matter.

    This is how I'm feeling about it . I know KG needs it more, but I just can't see myself using him in content that other champs can't already do themselves.

    Then again the sig 200 could make him a beastly ROL auto farmer for potions

    As the owner of a Sig 120 R4 KG I'll share my input!
    He gets a fair amount of kills in BG, you just gotta place him at the right time, if someone is unlucky enough to not have a nullify champ or already used it it'll basically lead to a guaranteed win from what I've noticed

    He's fantastic for ROL auto farming, especially when paired with Sasquatch

    I'm not sure about 8.3 but he has always been a pretty viable option for end of chapter bosses because his high regen and big health pool allows for a fair amount of slip ups.

    His bleed and power drain/burn immunity come in handy sometimes

    And sometimes there's just a node combo where he works well but that goes for basically any champ

    Way too many better peeps need those sigs.

    True regen champs are such a necessity in this game, even for the best players.

    If you've a bunch of great, alternative regen champs already ranked and you play a lot of BGs and he doesn't get banned.. hulkling.

    If you don't, then KG stands almost alone in regen capability, bar, arguably, diablo and wolverine out of the box (to a degree ignoring suicides plus herc/Knull/mutants with synergy and ramp ups).

    How would King Groot do in incursions? With that insane regen can you save potions? Or better off using high damage champs like Herc

    I think Hulkling is a much better champ and an excellent battlegrounds attacker and defender, but he doesn’t really need the sigs. KG might be helpful on defense occasionally and you might get some use out of him in other content but I still wouldn’t take him to 200

    R5 King Groot Gets banned 75% of the time in BGs. Because people don’t rank him. This means they aren’t banning better defenders

    Also, He literally hasn’t been killed yet on defense. Partially because I don’t place him if they have a counter.

    On Offense, he’s capable of finishing lot of fights with a full yellow bar. And does robots super fast.

    IMO having lots of dual threats in bgs is very important. Hard to plan for fights you can’t predict.

    Is the answer to dump even more sits to reach 300?

    I use him in battlegrounds as both and attacker and a defender. He’s so tanky in defense, it’s surprising how many fights he’s won me as a defender. He’s also an under rated attacke, he melts robots, has permanent armor breaks to shut down champs like idoom, mysterious, and Emma frost. Plus finishing fights at full health is very important with the new scoring.

    He’s also an insane quester with some great utility. He’s not a flashy character but he’s a work horse.

    Hulkling sig is nice to have and will get you a couple more hits in BG but that’s about it.
