Deep Dive : Bastion

Definitely looking forward to Bastion more than Jean Grey

both are great additions but Bastion feels like a missing puzzle piece that 7 star tech class was lacking

those special attacks look hard to dex but given defender strength of 2/5 maybe they can be avoided with right spacing

Honeydew and DLL did a great job with their new champions. I absolutely love them both. Cool.

No. His champion is Jean. Bastion is the champion of Honeydew.

Honeydew, Jean Grey — DLL

He seems sorta…mid

dr2ws · March 2

This is THE BEST champion so far this year.

✅ Animations
✅ Charachter Design
✅ Double Immunity
✅ Good sp3 and special attacks.
✅ Packed utility.
✅ Heavy Attack (one of the best heavy’s in a while)

Now all I need is proper gameplay.

Whoever did Bastion deserves a raise let them cook!

I thought they said DLL made him?

I need him

Polygon · March 2

His armor needs to be armor break immune and regen nullify immune

And best of all, he’s good vs non mutant champs as well. Zola, Bullseye, etc

I wish he was nullify and stagger immune like Omega sentinel

Yeah it makes no sense to have sentinel be such a threat on defense but bastion be a pushover defender

his armor is passive so no chance of nullification

I mean sentinel is also better than nimrod on defense now, and maybe even on attack as shock is such a mid debuff.
they really should add a pre-fight to nimrod allowing him to choose from incinerate/shock or just change shock to plasma debuffs and release him as 7*, would be great imo

WednesdayLength · March 2

Seems really solid, but nothing that I'm particularly excited about. Definitely seems really good but as of right now he doesn't seem like something I absolutely need and has less defensive value than zola.

Really seems great though, I just think people are a little xmen 97 glazed right now lmao

He has that as a synergy

Can still be armour broken

Polygon · March 2

Yeah he will be a mid defender, more so a pure attacker. Which isnt bad , but he could've been like a tech dual threat like Onslaught. They could've made him armor break immune as opposed to Sentinel

Dragfire1760 · March 2

He looks absolutely phenomenal animations-wise. Even if his damage is lackluster (doesn't seem like it'll even be CLOSE to, though) he's gonna be really fun to play

captain_rogers · March 2

Simple and efficient champ, Kudos design team.

Only if opponent is shock immune.

Last thing we need i another tech defender. I'm happy he is just a simple attacker.

His damage is pretty crazy though, 40k+ bursts especially after special 2, plus a simple loop

Plus we have Arnim Zola who is a hard defender already

What a jerk.

Actually he should still be pretty decent vs mystics as the only buffs in his kit are self repair and dexterity

Oh my GOD this synergy is EVIL!

But he’ll still be good for havok because no energy damage and can parry him

It's so funny to see how sentinel is armor break immune and nimrod also reduce armor break potency but the master of sentinels can still be armor broken with having a cooldown to wait for his armor to return 😂

At least it functions like Warlock’s and not War Machine’s
