Least Desirable 7* Champs

DrZolaDrZola Member Posts: 8,926 ★★★★★
in General Discussion
Going through my roster and trying to get a feel for which 7* champs are the ones I find least useful.

To Kabam’s credit, so many of the current crop of 7*’s available generally in game (not chase champs or Deathless—just basic, featured and special crystal available champs) are useful at least somewhere and in many cases multiple modes.

There are, however, a few that really aren't for me—I’d group them under the heading of “least desirable.”

Here’s my list, limited to one per class.

Cosmic: VtD
Skill: Silver Sable
Tech: War Machine
Mystic: Mordo
Mutant: Sauron
Science: Invisible Woman

The fact that I had to stretch in a couple of classes (Science, for a limited crystal champ and Mutant, for a champ that can be a defensive menace) speaks to the general decency of a lot of 7* champs available now. Tech also was a little tricky for me, since Rhodey can be sort of useful and a lot of people tend to dislike Rocket, but I stand by that choice for me.

What’s your list?

    Cosmic VtD
    Skill Sable
    Tech Civil Warrior (Yes he's a 7 star)
    Mystic Sorcerer Supreme
    Mutant Stryfe
    Science Invisible Woman

    If we're just going by the base pool then Sam for tech and Thing for science

    Any of them that basically require max sig

    Fair point, especially those that are in special crystals (Namor, Angela, Void). Also kind of a jerk move to put them in Titans (Thing, e.g.).

    I have two of them at rank 3 and i can confirm, they are pretty useless. Although i did use sable for one fight in crucible


    You can obviously tell sable has been in the drafts since 2017 not just by that damage but by those animations as well

    Sauron is a monster on offense too

    To an extent on the titans point but only for a short time because we know for a fact they'll enter basic pretty quickly. The special crystal ones though is more concerning.

    I'd also be interested in the opposite of this list, most used champion in each class.
    A few of the champs people have posted here I find myself using for BGs, War, EQ, and just fun runs, so I can't say they are useless. My list will be champs I don't use and therefore are truly use-less to me.
    *This is list doesn't mean I think they are inherently bad, just that they do not see use from me.

    Mutant - Stryfe (TBH not good for short fights and not Aegon for long fights)
    Skill - Silver Sable (There is no use for her)
    Science - Joe Fixit (Only because he is unawakened, once he is I will use)
    Mystic - Guillotine (deathless, seen a lot of good things from her, just haven't used myself)
    Cosmic - VTD (Sig 120 and I do not use him for anything)
    Tech - Guillotine 2099 (Not a fan of the "must win fight with SP3 to have good damage NEXT fight" mechanic)

    Maw, Nova, and IMIW are all pretty good defenders.

    The War Machine is not to be underestimated. Useful pre fights for bgs and war, especially energy resistance, armor breaks, ruptures, prowess removal, tankiness, etc.

    I find more use for VTD actually, in incursions.
    Nova is fine, but mine is unduped so I rarely use him

    Invisible Woman > Luke is definitely a take of all time. Deathless Guilly is one of the fastest attackers in the game Lol

    I'll prolly never use Hawkeye, Red Goblin, or Rocket, from my roster.

    Hawkeye is very useful for karatemike carina challenge, at least he got one possible use lol but those other 2 are definitely useless

    My most used (based purely off attack) would be as follows:

    Skill: Black Cat/Cheeilth
    Mystic: Chavez/WWbN
    Cosmic: Vox/Venom
    Mutant: Bishop/Domino
    Tech: OGIM/LDS

    That’s the only real argument for VtD in my opinion. But even there he’s outclassed by so many other cosmics. Without getting into a “how to buff” sidebar, it would be nice to be able to adjust his buffs and have a little immunity somewhere for him.

    For sure. It does take some of the sting out of it. Personally, I’d like to see either special crystal limits bumped to 2X per time period or with a shorter time period before repurchase.

    Restricting it to champs that I actually have:
    Cosmic: VtD
    Skill: Silver Sable
    Tech: IMIW (War machine is close but I might actually use his pre-fight for other champs at some point)
    Mystic: Sorc Supreme
    Mutant: Northstar (PlatinumPool if I ever figure out what to use Northstar for)
    Science: Thing

    I can Confirm that 7* War Machine is useless. His Supression does nothing to slow down or stop Unstoppable or degeneration is pretty weak.

    Or just tell us when they'll rotate the pools or add to basic.
