Is Karnak a top 5 skill champ?

I've seen lists with him at the bottom with falcon and others with him as the 3rd best. I have a four star unduped and am not sure if he is even worth taking to rank 2.

This order- Gwenpool, Elektra, crossbones, daredevil and hawkeye. Got rid of fat widow because she never Crits anymore.

I have a Karnak. You can indicate a duel.

He can ignore evade after using the sp1. He's just a highly underrated champ.

In actual gameplay I wouldn't say he's top 5, but he skims the edge. People just don't use him enough to understand how his hits work, they always talk about how he can't as high as other champs but they always fail to mention that his focus mode dramatically increases his minimum hit average. He has a lower damage cap, but hits much higher on average hits compared to other champs which makes him very good for any type of champ that focuses around defense. It balances out, and goes even further with his sp1. The only reason I wouldn't personally put him in top 5 is because there's a lot great utility/bleed champs in the skill class that would have more overall use than karnak, but that doesn't make him a bad champ by any means.

His true strike comes in handy, but overall I think he's just meh. I'll agree that He's underrated, but still nothing special. He's got high prestige though.

I think if you take away Gwenpool, Crossbones, Elektra, Black Panther 1&2, BlackWidow, Hawkeye, Agent Venom, DareDevil OG, WinterSoldier, he's not yet in the top 5.

I have him duped, I wish I were wrong and he were a monster.

Yeah he is pretty bad to be honest but all 4*s go to r3 at minimum. Just don't dump t4's on him unless you really need the prestige.

Terrible crit rate until focused. Critical damage nothing special either. Sp1 can allow you to be hit before you can use it. Sp2 can easily miss, but it is probably his best move. Has a high attack base that when critical is devastating. Ideally, I just fight normally in a match without losing focus, use it, and the match is over 90% of the time. Sp3 is good too.

Still find him terrible in quests and only good for arena. Second highest skill champ, probably fourth least fun to use. Prefer GP (better prestige to boot), revised WS, OG DD, Punisher, Elektra, and Xbones over Karnak.

I use my Karnak in AQ and do really well with him on poison paths. I think he can be pretty great. If you mess up though he can get wrecked.

Not top 5 though.
