Looking for 6 star rank up advice as a late game player

I know the game has shifted towards 7 stars completely just about, but as a semi late game player where I have completed act 8, but haven’t attempted any Everest content (no abyss, no necro, no crucible, etc), and only having done shooting stars and AOA/SOS, what 6 stars are still viable to rank up? I am still missing major science counters as 6 and 7 stars so I’m wondering if hulk, photon, jj (for BGs), or Titania is the way to go here until I pull 6 star scorp. Science champs tend to avoid me lol.

My next question is I am missing some other big counters in other classes. I have a list to choose a couple (pick 3) from that I am thinking about ranking up. I am trying to see if some are still worth it since most of them are available as 7 stars now. If any need awakening/high sig please specify. I want to get major counters out of the way and solid before I get carried away with just fun rankups.
- Shocker
- OG Scarlett Witch (I’ve seen crazy things in BGs)
- Prowler
- Omega Sentinel
- Kitty Pride
- Hulk/Photon - depending on if you chose one of them for the science poll

    If whoever you pick for the science poll needs the dupe and or high sigs please specify as well

    Hulk smashes and is great for damage and stun loop. Photon is great to apply lots of debuffs. Jessica Jones I just ranked up, ascended, awakened and added sigs and she's a blast! Each has a different use but all 3 are great.

    I just haven't used Titania so can't comment on her.

    Maxed rank sig 200 ascended 6s are still just as viable as 7R3s. They obviously will get weaker and weaker as the 7s advance but not for a while.
    Anyhow, I only use 3-4 and 4-5 rank up gems on the 6s, and the sig stones and dust are 6 specific too, so it's basically just gold that you're taking away from using on 7s. I say rank up as many 6s as you can and want. Fully exploring Act 7 and 8 will give you lots of resources for maxing 6s.

    I’ll look up her playstyle. I’m afraid most people have a counter for her now.

    Man I got the resources I’m just trying to figure out who😂

    Hulk, Photon, and Titania are all in the basic 7 crystal pool, so I'd say JJ since you won't be pulling her as a 7 anytime soon.

    I went for Photon, as you seem to be feeling the pain in Science and she's a better dual threat than JJ (although I just took JJ to r6 myself as I don't have 7* Photon and my Science defense is a bit weak).

    For other 6-stars, my list to focus on (based on who I still use regularly) would be:

    - Future Ant Man
    - Nick Fury
    - Kate Bishop
    - Hulkling
    - Absorbing Man (don't use him too much now, but great for Act content and Carina's)

    Second tier/fun: Kingpin (hard carried me through a lot of content), Archangel, Red Guardian

    OG Scarlet Witch is very fun in Crit Me, and I took her to r6. I wouldn't say it's the most sensible use of resources though!

    If you really want to do any of the others, then I would recommended Kitty (6* locked, amazing if you like her and can play her well) or Shocker/Prowler (both benefit from high/max sig).

    Nice! Yeah I’ve seen some cool things with jessica jones. I’ll probably take her up eventually but even with those other guys being in the basic I needed those counters for content since I literally have nothing in science lol. They literally avoid me.

    As far as those other champs all of the ones you listed I have at r4 or r5 ascended haha. I have yet to pull kingpin and archangel as well

    Yeah I went ahead and took shocker to r3 and like his playstyle a lot. I think prowler counters more and has more utility so I was torn there. What I’d really like to have for the tech class is a ranked I doom so I could roast bishop quickly in BGs lol

    Sweet, no bad choices there! I used a 7* Tech AG on Shocker and took him R3. Zero regrets.

    I'm an Ironheart enjoyer, so I like to cook (rupture?) Bishop with her! Also, my girl Silk demolishes him :)
