PX has glancing to stall for defense but OG Storm has easier use and stronger damage.

Who’s the better champ to run in the deck? Could have uses for korgs/zemos etc

Both 7 stars

    Is it really that hard to just use light attacks until his Rock Shield is down? It's not like you have to intercept. Just parry, do light attacks until the Shield is down, then go to town, like....this seems like a non issue.

    Why does OG punisher inflict bleed and Punisher 2099 not? They're different champs with different strengths and weaknesses.

    Against korg, you typically would use a energy damage champ like CGR , Juggs, Sunspot etc

    The issue is one version of the champ does energy damage while the other doesnt which makes no sense. And are you suggesting any champ is a Korg counter as long as they do lights? Seems a bit pedantic to me. We both know you would use a CGR , Juggs, Sunspot or other energy damage champ against a Korg if you had the chance
    I mean, yeah. Ideal counter? Probably not. But the biggest issue with Korg is the Thorns, which you don't take if you hit him with light attacks until the Shield is down. Storm X is energy based because, I'm not sure if you noticed, but her body practically radiates lightning, because she's a different version of Storm. Regular Storm just controls weather, so that wouldn't make her regular attacks energy based.

    So which ones better to put in the deck? Storm PX for dual threat/defensive use or OG storm for easier use/more damage?

    Because they aren't the same character lmfao. Storm Pyramid X =/= OG Storm

    Personally, I'd still go Storm PX. Without the right counter, and without knowing how to fight her, she's a massive pain with all the Glancing. Although, I haven't used regular Storm in ages, so I'm not sure how strong she actually is now, so take this with a grain of salt.

    The thing I cant stand about PX is for a champ that needs to hold heavy for quite a while, her sp2 has a delay before it makes contact , giving the defender enough time to break free from the stun

    SPX has better defense and counters more types of skill champs (all but Attuma in fact). OG Storm does more damage but not that much more. IMO, winner is SPX.

    This season ? None of them, because this guy takes them down fast and easy…



    Storm, SPX, Mags, Wags, Kitty, Sauron etc basically most of the prowess champs…

    Both versions are fine champions, but i think your decision to include one or another in deck depends on deck itself.
    Storm Pyramid X in my experience has pretty noticable dmg limitations due to her prowess not being pauseable like with Og Storm. Also she is harder to execute with that "hold heavy" mechanic getting in a way for full dmg.
    From other perspective, Storm X is by mile better defender with her glancing that can shut down a lot of offensive abilities and potential to do unblockable sp2 that will probably oneshot your opponent. Which makes her overall better as 2-way champion.

    Imo your decision should depend on what you are lacking in your deck. I would go for OG storm if you lack good mutant nukes to deal with KP/Zemo/Korg. However if lack in defense more, than Pyramid X is probably the play.

    I simply use both in my deck.
