How does one determine their FIRST R4?

I finally have enough T7Bs for my first ever Rank 4, but it feels slightly unfulfilling because where do I invest? If I do it for any Battlegrounds threat, especially defender or dual threat, they'll obviously get banned. Do I spend it on primarily an attacker? Someone who will most help through things like Ordeal and Crucible and rest of Act 9? Prestige for the upcoming variable event quests format?

Any opinions are always greatly appreciated, not sure exactly where to go. Also of note, some of my R2's include Hyperion, Bishop, Guardian, Hulk, Titania, Phoenix, Domino, Enchantress, Arcade, Angela, and Spider-Man Stark. I also have a Cosmic awakening gem and a Generic awakening gem.

    Always go best overall. Dual threats are where it is at.

    Sinister, photon, onslaught etc.

    The one you are fine with getting banned in BGs. And rock it everywhere else.

    Oh also...It's important, to make the content easier you have plans of doing. The content will get you more r4s.

    Someone with damage and at least one immunity.

    Whoever you seem to use most in all parts of the game. Not worth investing in one game mode at your roster stage.

    Dual threats are the best imo, followed by champs you like. America Chavez is one of my favourites in the game plus she's a really strong attacker + defender so she was my first.

    Serpent is the most useful champ in the screenshots — meaning he’s highly effective in a shitload of different modes and fights.

    You have plenty of bangers but if you’re following the logic of “who will enable me to clear the maximum amount of content” then he’s probably the answer.

    Count was my first R4 and I did it because he is amazing at story quests. Made 9.2 a breeze. He also sold path 2 in war. And is just generally great. Certain metas are good for him in BG also. And he's fun to play, evading the last hit of the special is very satisfying.

    Not really a bad one in the bunch. I believe since it's your 1st R4, it should be whomever you like using the most. Worry or don't about Meta rabkups later...

    I chose the champ I like to play the most. For me that was Ironheart. Before they fixed her damage bug. She’s still my most used champ. Venom was no 2 for the exact same reason.

    Get a CD disc, write Onslaught on 1 side and Serpent on the opposite side. Chuck it as far as you can , then just see who it lands on.

    Easy.

    Do you have Spiderpunk?
    If the answer is yes then he's the correct option. If not then any meta relevant character you like to play is the correct answer

    I only agree with the first option. as the owner of a R4 spunk , he slaps hard.
    I disagree with the second option. Don't rank meta cause you NEED to rank meta. Rather rank who you enjoy playing and more will come later.

    Mine was warlock or spiral I think. Just because I love playing them so much

    Onslaught = dual threat + prestige = covers all 3 criteria
