It’s gotta be serpent. I love that you can take him with almost any champ in the game as long as you have enough skill. It’s also so nice that he doesn’t ignore the class wheel by countering mystic abilities cuz that would be weird. It’s great that there’s no rng or ai reliance when fighting him, so that the only factor determining my success against him is my skill.
easy to play massive damage good defender useful in each and every game mode takes variety of matchups useful immunities has great regen ( when correctly utilised ) indestructible ( useful but not broken ) Peirce & unblockable fury & bullwork buffs
just what you expect out of a cosmic champ
weak against some mystics ( respects class wheel unlike certain someone )

Certainly one of the designs of all time.
I liked when Serpent said, it's Serpen time and serped all over the Battlerealm.
Best allround champion in the game - power control, attack, defense, resistance, etc. without being broken. Anyone can counter him but he is still a threat and he can counter a lot of content without going overboard
Okay let me actually do this properly. Stealth suit spiderman. He has access to slow to stop evade and unstoppable, can counter miss, can make the opponent get NO POWER when being struck, can do crazy critical damage, potentially best in the game, can refresh his debuff through sp3, can reduce block prof by 50 percent and can basically get guaranteed crits. Also he has a crazy evade chance. If you are looking at skill 6 star r5 sig 200 champs only he probs has 2nd best dps
I played him a lot since i first got him from Titan, and very soon r3'd him, because his flow is just so satisfying. His unstoppable on medium dashes feels amazing to utilize, his cycle is flexible and pay off is makes you feel like you evaporate opponents. Lack of willpower is perfectly complimented by Juggernaut relic, and he feels always very safe to use.
Also, i can't get enough of how he reminds to opponent that this is SPARTA with that sp2 kick
I'd say Black Widow Claire Voyant personally Easy access to a lot of immunities, easy to understand kit. Having the ability to heal herself quite a bit, as well as power drain and gain Having an ability to counter buffs that ignores most(all?) nullify immunities. General easy nullifies. A very situational but somewhat helpful ability to ignore being knocked out
Such a great question but so difficult to get a single answer. Can’t believe I’ll be the first to say Herc. He’s gotten boring to use for sure due to overuse, but he can still handle just about anything and everything. Easy to build up to high damage and his immortality and unblockable attacks clean up.
So many great straightforward options though listed above - iBom, Doom, Scorp, Hulkling. Chavez, Nick and Kate should make the short list too.
I like a lot of these answers, especially Hyp, Doom, Stealthy.
I’ll throw out Shocker. I’ve highlighted this on the forums before, but he’s a very flexible attacker who handles multiple classes. And you aren’t relying on placing debuffs on the opponent or maintaining buffs on yourself. You build charges and keep em until you need them. No timer watching. His flow isn’t vulnerable to nullify, purify, any of those pesky abilities. You can play him on whatever loop you need, you’re not constantly trying to force a specific rotation into a fight.
Throw in the ability go unblockable, a couple immunities, and enough defensive stuff to make people pay attention — incredible champ that doesn’t get enough love…

The best thing about shocker is 1) His charges are permanent as you mentioned 2) His damage is exactly right, not too high, not too low. He can take any similar rank mutants in one sp1 one sp2 rotation. After the buff he got exactly the damage he wanted. Best tech bg attacker imo.
Abs requires light intercepts to pause the forms, this can be slightly frustrating, however good red numbers or Magma and a great defender with annoying regens and can have unblockable specials.
Photon is very easy, in attack, reach pure light form to 25, or use sp3 to increase the charges by 5 in longer fights then sp1 for those red numbers and you’re cruising, excels in mystic fights too, and in defence, with the dupe and high sig she will completely annihilate the attacker as she’ll reach pure light even faster. There’s a reason she isn’t duped in the Summer of Suffering.
Seriously no one mentioned cgr? Such a great champ with simple rotation and reasonable limitations. There is a reason he remains the #1 bg attacker since the inception of the game mode.

Moondragon...
Very soft animation, you feel like a Martial Artist and in control of a leaf.
Good against all classes and one of best Sp3 anims
What more???
