Sabertooth…

By far the worst buff of the batch, if you even want to call it a buff, like why doesn’t his basic attacks do bleed or rupture, and his specials aren’t even 100% chance to bleed it’s only 80%, and they’re gonna release this trash as a 7*, like what? I’m seriously confused why they even bothered, basically nothing changed.

He’s definitely my most wanted rebirth champ. I think his buff is great, especially for questing and incursions. My 6R5A has been super fun to play and can ramp like crazy. I don’t think it’s fair at all to call his buff trash.

Would have preferred this against both rol winter soldier and captain Marvel just to compare jis damage in bg

Whatever his buff is like now, from DLL breakdown, it feel like there was more that could have been done to Sabetooth, but the team didn't have enough time.

Which is a shame, hope Sabertooth with get another chance one day.

He gets a bonus of 5 passive furies in BGs so it wouldn’t really be indicative of what he’s capable of

He's not a bad buff, but he is still a long form content champ. They definitely improved him significantly, and once ramped he really hits like a truck much more than he did before. But yeah, he's not a regular questing champ, and the 5 passive furies may not be enough damage to make him viable in BGs. But for players that haven't done Necro, or for future similar Everest content, he's going to shine.

I think he’s gonna be like Northstar where he’s not the best for BGs and war, but will shine in questing and other scenarios

He should inflict rupture debuffs against bleed immune champs. This alone would make his buff much better.

@BattleWarriar Sorry to say but you definitely didn’t play him right, I’m gonna r4 him just bc I love Sabretooth, I don't expect anyone else to even r3 him. Just wish they gave him better regen.

This is with Sasquatch synergy btw, also I got a 14 sec wolverine fight, which I feel is insane with a 6*

What fights would that allow him to do that he couldn't already? Stuff like immunities and counters to immunities are targeted with specific fights in mind not just thrown around randomly, plus it's not like his bleeds were the main source of his damage to begin with. Even in the skill class the only bleed immune i can think of off the top of my head is lumatrix who's also immune to Rupture lmao.

@WednesdayLength I agree, his base damage is enough when ramped. I killed vision in 24 secs in ROL and he is on only 3/4 of the way ramped.

OK yeah I forgot Korg, but he's still going to be trash against even if he had rupture

Unfortunately, in this day and age, anything that is useless in BGs is bad. Ever since radiance was created, BGs became the most important game mode in terms of progression by far.
