Which Mystic Queen gets the promotion?

Did a few of my planned rankups today, but now stuck in a spot of who my third Mystic r3 should be. Didn't really expect Shathra (let alone her awakening) opening my Titans even though I wanted her, but here we are.

I'll be using my Glorious Games 2-3 gem on one of these, and I also have 135 saga stones I can use. Now for the situation:

Kushala- recently awakened from an Exalted crystal which I was very glad for, but I also have her as ascended 6r5. Would probably take to at least sig 80-100.

Shathra- New champ! Shiny and all! I passed up her early access given the closeness to her being in Titan, and it apparently paid off. I've heard she's also a massive prestige champ (not super important, but cool nonetheless). Could easily go sig 100+, but her sig isn't exactly super needed outside of being great for questing. Being so new still, hard to tell where she really lands in the Contest's meta.

White Tiger- My 6* is still 6r1. Would probably go sig 85 as that gets her the big power gain in 10 secs~. The only drawback with her is she's unawakened, so I'd have to use my Glorious Games awakening gem on her. This otherwise would probably go to WPX or Nefaria.

I can honestly do 2 of these champs, but I also really want to r3 Starky after finishing the challenges the other day, so possible someone else will have to wait for the time being. Let me know your thoughts!

The real question is who is the better Serpent counter here

Heh, that's not a bad purpose to have either. I usually have Chavez available and I find her to be the most reliable so far.

Kushala is better

I personally enjoy playing Shathra more, but if you enjoy both equally, I'd go with Kushala. She just has more damage and utility overall

There's no way your serpent and chavez escapes the ban wave together. If one is not banned, the other is definitely getting banned. Trust me I have played around 200+ bg matches after r3ing chavez and serpent, and there isn't a single match where I get to draft both.

If we talk BGs.
Kushala didn't do much in VT.
She doesn't do much in GC.
She is not working in this trash War saga.
She won't work in next BG.

She can wait!

Ahh, therein lies the issue. I don't have a r3 Serpent yet, so mine isn't being banned AS much. If I see a r3 awakened at any sig level, I'll usually ban him and won't have to worry about that match up at all lol. I love Serpent as an offensive champ, but have never relied on him as my lynchpin to win a match.

There is also the option of forgoing Sparky right now, and doing one of these gals with no real sig stone investment, but being an utter mad lad and taking Domino to r3 sig 200 (currently r2 sig 20)

I feel that would be a crazy move as I've always banned her myself for 90% of my time playing BGs, but do I join the RNG mob?!

Bro, please r3 and max sig that domino, it helps me easier to ban her if I ever face you on bgs.

Sounds like a deal. You ban my Dom and I'll ban your Serpent. Balanced, as all things should be.

Its between she and chavez for the top 7* spot in the class.

He is already sig 25 and I have sigs just lying around. It's pointless to invest on him if he's going to be banned anyways 😭
