Who to r4 in cosmic?

My options

Medusa - sig 125
Karol - sig 20
Hulkling - unduped but can awaken

I wonder is hulkling really still relevant as attacker and defender. Medusa is a hell of a defender if you don't have a counter. I lean towards medusa, but she is not the most versatile attacker. On the other hand karolina is very versatile and could use the r4 for extra power, but she needs sig investment right (which I can do if it makes a Huge diff).

So please let me know who should I r4 I'm very confused.

I'll go with karolina Dean

I have all 3 at R4 and they've put in a shift for me in BG.

Medusa is still always being banned the most, I think cos less people have her makes a difference to the ban.

I agree with glass back I know how to fight her but I don't have her so I usually ban medusa at a high rank

SpiderVerse

Almost sameee, but my option are Medusa/Karolina/Serpent

I honestly prefer Medusa. Karolina would be second, before Hulking.

But if you enjoy one of the above champions in particular, listen to your gut.

I have ranked-up champions before just because people suggested me to do so, but regretted afterwards.

Personally, I have had Karolina r4 fo a while and she is amazing. I will take Hulkling to r4 sometime soon. Not sure Medusa will ever get there for me. Great champ, but the new techs are not very vulnerable to her stuff and there are too many mystics running round to make her a viable defender unless you really trap someone in BGs.

Karolina is a different beast at r4.

She can also be a tricky defender because you gotta try to keep her out of the sun so she doesn't gain extra power, try to make sure she stays below 2 bars, make sure she's not in the sun if she gets to 2 bars of power, etc..

Medusa

Ok then, I'm gonna go with medusa for now, maybe next would be karol. Thanks all!

dean , hulking then medusa

Medusa Is lowest on priority bro. Cant go wrong with the other 2 because you want both at r4 eventually

Mine works just fine unawakened, even for tricky fights:

Overall I would suggest Karolina, followed by Hulkling and finally Medusa. Hulkling does need high sig to be a strong nuke, Karolina perfectly fine even unawakened tho, yours is sig 20 and that's good enough.

Is hulkling still good tho? Medusa is atleast very tough at defense if opp don't have a counter, Hulkling can be defeated by most champs. In attack, both have different utilities but medusa atleast can take all techs except zola and also does fine against some new tricky defenders like high evol. Hulkling idk how relevant be is.

SpiderVerse

I went with Karolina, and I don't regret it

Karolina, hulkling and medusa in that order, IMHO

Hulkling is a big staller without a counter, and most modern meta mystics rely on power steal heavily (Pav, Shathra, Spiral) which won't work on him. As for attack not sure what you mean by "at least Medusa can take all techs" cause so can Hulkling, he takes Yondu Nimrod Solvarch FAM Red Skull Arcade Guardian Peni Warlock and contrary to popular belief he actually can take Zola quite comfortably. The thing that puts him way above Medusa on attack tho is the fact that he can also nuke Onslaught Photon Nick Jean Sinister Scorpion High Evo every single one of those fights is a one sp2 and done fight (except Nick obviously cause two lives), he also will be able to handle Spider Woman in a single sp2 once the ensnare gets nerfed.

I think you're underestimating Hulkling pretty hard, Medusa already fell down to the top 10, Hulkling is still in the top 5 and will remain there for a while. I do have a Medusa as well btw but there's little to no reason for me to rank her up.

Medusa

I have Medusa at rank 4 and she's probably my favorite rank 4. She's a lot more versatile than you'd think, and she can nuke so many fights. There are no bad choices here though.

I went with karolina first. Medusa or hulkling, I'll decide later
