Prowler is GOOD

He really is. I didn’t realize just how good until I realized how much his basic attacks do when the opponent is incinerated. Really underrated champ. Gets around crits, non contact attacks, best power manipulation in the game. Absolutely incredible and beyond god tier when he has sigs cause of extra crit damage.

    SP2 deals the most damage, basics are just the start.

    He’s pretty nuts, best champ of this year so far as far as I’m concerned

    Best power manipulation is a crazy take

    Draining to 0 after a special and then power locked for a bit is pretty decent, but agree it's a far cry from best in the game.

    Serpent’s mostly a defender, I don’t really count that. Good on offence for sure, but not close to Prowler, Nefaria or Bill

    No, he completely drains their power no matter special attack. Either you are bringing them to 0 power, faltering their special, or taunting them for an easy bait

    I just duped my 7 star from the Titan so he’s definitely going to r3 as soon as I can get half a t4a

    Me too. Also, I agree that bill and serpent come really close to my fav champs this year… but prowler…

    Not to mention his animations are awesome

    Blessed to also be getting him. He looks like a good bullseye counter from the bleed immunity and evade counter

    If only Kabam gave him plasma debuffs against mutants 😅

    He is a good counter, actually one of the best non mutant counters

    How important is his Signature ability? I was under the impression that it was pretty important so my 7* is waiting at R1 until I can awaken him before I do something with him

    I just got him from the realm event titan. I didnt really test him before but now looks like i have to try him as a 7* and see for myself.

    He's my favourite tech actually not because he's the best of his class or anything I just like the champ
    That's not to say he isn't a good champ
    He's a sinister counter, a bullseye counter, pretty good for spider verse champs, has a great safety net with falter, and he can do a multitude of matchups since his main damage form is rupture

    Don't throw a heavy against incinerate immune champs. His main damage comes from rupture actually. At max sig he would be insane
  • captain_rogerscaptain_rogers Member Posts: 10,297 ★★★★★
    One thing I hate is how his sig scales. He has pretty great damage awakened, but the sig scales like she*t. The first 150 sigs really does nothing but the last 50 sigs makes his damage three times better.

    Damn, you weren't kidding!

    It's like the opposite to Hyperion...

    Just remember diminishing returns on that crit rate bonus. It actually scales quite linearly when you factor that in

    True, I somehow always forget that :lol:

    If you've got a Sentinel relic @Jethua then rank it up for him and use the Incinerate Pause ability - it'll dramatically increase the uptime on his Incinerate, and maintain his damage better.

    He absolutely doesn't need to be Awakened, PantherusNZ

    It's going to increase his average damage a fair bit, but only in bursts when the opponent is Faltered; so the ideal strategy is to use it to make his SP2 damage stronger and more reliable.

    However, there's an immovable damage ceiling on this increased damage, which is his intrinsic limit of applying one Rupture per hit: Awakening means that he'll more reliably approach this ceiling, but can't get him past it.

    The Sentinel relic probably does more to maintain his damage (over the course of a fight) than being Awakened does.

    If you're interested, there's some stats here which I posted from my computer a few days back; which for some reason (even though I used the same login info as I do on my phone) appears as "Backup account"!...

    Awesome, cheers. Does the sentinel relic need to be awakened and/or especially 5* or 6*?

    No. Sentinel relic had an ability to pause incinerate. 4* nd above relic have this ability

    4 star sentinel relic or higher has the incinerate pause. If you have higher you can get some straight up extra duration in addition to the pause as well.
