7* Rank 4 Hood

in General Discussion
After polling Silk was supposed to go up but I realized I needed to do another science rank up and t6cc was low so I went with the runner up. My first rank 4 :)

Super happy with him and I think he deserves a lot more love

- Easy access to stagger for buff champs
- Invisibility lets you get easy openings + easy to keep up the entire fight
- Small regen to keep you topped up
- Passive damage source that’s only effected by energy resistance
- Fate seal is insanely good and can last the whole fight pretty easily
- 65% AAR off the sp2 is also great for shutting down opponents (and can also be kept up for the whole fight lol)
- Power steal is insane at high sig and lets you keep all your effects up. At max sig you’re usually gonna steal enough power to be back at 1.5-2 bars of power and you can spam sp2 and nuke the opponent

Would recommend everyone give him a chance, he’s simple but very fun to play and effective in all game modes (tho you do want a synergy for long quests). If anyone’s curious about gameplay I could record some

    I have had 6*r5 ascended for a long time

    I feel he really benefits from the extra rank as he isn’t that good punching UP but very good fighting same rank/punching down

    Yup his reach is great for same rank but you’ll need more bullets for comfortably punching up (unless you just synergize him) but for BG that’s the case

    I used my 6* r5 all the time for other 6* r5 and 7* r2 but at a r3 level defender he’d need class advantage to nuke them easily. The 7* addition really helped him

    Hood is pretty fun. But I like him only when he's a max sig, where he can reliably spam sp2. With miss and sp2, and some AI cooperation, he can cheese most content by back to back specials.

    You definitely want max sig but at around 140 you have a 41% chance to power steal and 45% is max sig. Still pretty good chances but the extra 4% is really nice

    Decided to slam a rank 2 on mine last week, he is quite fun.

    A few fights can take a while, but what he lacks in DPS, he makes up for with a solid kit. Much like anti-venom 👍🏻

    I've had a 7* mystic gem since black Friday(I'm a hoarder) & I've been going back & forth between Hood & Mojo. Trappy put out a great Hood video & I was sold, until Andy r4 Mojo. Guess I'll sit & hoard a little longer🤪

    Congrats! If you get him to high sig DPS shouldn’t be an issue, get to about 1 bar of power and then activate invisibility then the power steal will let you spam back to back sp2’s. Then the damage from the bullets should kill whatever’s left!
