Who to spend the X-Magica Rankup Gems on?

I've got so many options for the X-Magica gems and could really use some help guiding my decision for who is going to be of the most use for me in the game.

For context I've done a completion run of Act 8 thus far, explored 8.3, and now working on exploring 8.1&2. I'm still Paragon and am waiting for 8.4, but have done a single (Aegon) pass of Necropolis.

I think my top choices are Kate Bishop, Kingpin, or CGR - with Kate and Kingpin probably getting preference because I have Herc at R5 (and he's my ONLY R5 thus far). I also have a Science R5 gem.

I've got a bunch of AGs and enough sig stones to max sig 1 champ if required.

I've marked off the champs by Rank but can pretty well take anyone up eventually (lower ranks will just take longer while I gather the ISO), and crossed out those I already have as a 7*

I've listed a few of what I think are arguably the better options but would freely accept any other recommendations you have

lol - split vote on Kingpin v Kate Bishop!

Thanks all, appreciate the advice!

Could you show us your highest ranked champs?
If one class is lacking perhaps that could tilt the vote.

Carinas challenges is all I see atm

@Rookiie These are my R4s

Out of 14 you have:

4 Skill
1 Science
2 Mystic
3 Cosmic
2 Tech
2 Mutant

You seem to lean towards Cosmic or Skill champs, so if I were you I would rank up another class.
Perhaps Science. I shall vote Void, since you can awaken and max sig 1 champ.

Yeah good point there - Tech is really where I'm lacking the most (I have NO Tech 7*) but there are no options there. Science or Mystic are definitely good choices. I feel like Kate/Kingpin are the best in isolation, but in the interest of spread....
