Who is the best defender?

  Still Maestro

  Is your Maestro a 6* or 7*? I noticed a big difference when I swapped out my maxed 6* maestro for a 7* R3. He can still get nuked with the right counters but overall he’s lasting a lot longer and doing more damage.
  
  From the other options I’d say Sersi is the best defender, without the right counter that glancing is super annoying to deal with.

  Mine is 7* r2.
  
  The issue is everyone runs cgr nd chavez, both easily nuke meastro in 30 secs.

  I think the extra hp from R3 lets him survive long enough to get his glance up and start causing problems, but that’s also I big investment. I’d go with Sersi to R2 and throw her in the deck as well. But I personally wouldn’t take maestro out, everyone can nuked in 30 seconds by the right attacker (serpent being an outlier lol). If they don’t draft a counter he’s a great defender. It’s all about how you draft and some luck. Plus both of them can be solid attackers if needed.

  Sersi (duped)

  Maestro is decent, but he is kinda bad for attack. Sersi is an amazing dual threat though

  Sersi and Maestro are very similar. Generally, if someone can nuke one of them, they can potentially nuke the other unless they have no way to deal with her regen. If you want some variety, go Nova or Knull.

  There’s indeed a difference between a r2 and r3 Maestro. A r3 Maestro is also better on attack as well

  There are others that nuke him too, I personallt think after he was put on raids he stopped being a threat, kinda what happened with Onslaught and his appearance in that SoS or whatever seasonal event he was in.
  In BGs Kate turns him into mush, after buff Sinister wrecks him...there are too manys around him now

  I agree Sersi is the better attacker but don’t sleep on Maestro as an attacker. As a Sersi fan you know how helpful glancing is, his may not work on specials but it’s easier to keep up the whole fight. And you can parry photon, or black panther civil war without triggering their annoying effects. Plus he shuts down fantman with his pierce and against tech champs he gains an extra attack boost. Also factoring his triple immunities and the fact that he isn’t punished when his buffs are nullified, that’s a good bit of utility. He might not be the fastest attackers but he can take alot of fights very safely.
