Hulk or Count Nefaria. They’re my go-to R4 science champs.

Lizard or Nefaria

For questing, you've got great options. To be honest, it's personal preference:

Nefaria is great, but would be better Awakened

Hulk has crazy damage, and can be fun if you enjoy beating up stunned opponents.

Lizard has underrated utility and damage; and really benefits from the Spidey-2099 relic - if you've got one, select the Accelerated Dexterity rune and he starts going Unstoppable/Unblockable all the time. He's a definite contender.

Quicksilver has some of the most insane utility for questing - can handle all kinds of situations.

DShulk - great damage and control of the match. Another top contender.

For me, it's Quicksilver Vs Nefaria, for questing (answer would be different, for BGs)

Quicksilver at Sig 1 has astonishing utility - if you like him, and you're okay with his double-hit animations, he's a phenomenal champion:

Counters Evade

Counters Unstoppable

Counters Miss

Can parry projectiles

Can auto-evade on intercepts, or when stunned.

Can easily reverse Passive Power Gain with Wither

Good red number damage with Trauma

Huge burst damage with Whiplash.

But Nefaria can do a lot of similar things, too. Again, if you like him and you're good at maximising his Parry-Evade, he's a phenomenal champion, too:

Can almost completely prevent passive Power Gain (and steal it for himself)

Can almost completely prevent regeneration (and at high Sig level, steal it for himself)

Can Evade on Parry, even if the opponent is Unblockable

Huge damage potential on hit, and via Incinerates

Can recover a lot of health on SP1

Has non-contact attacks during his Overload phase

Immune to Bleed

Immune to Power Steal

Functionally almost-immune to Shock and Incinerate

Huge resistance to all Energy and Degeneration damage.

Play around with the two of them, and see who you prefer. Nefaria definitely wants high Sig for his full utility, whereas Quicksilver gets 99% of his at sig1. But either is a great choice.

Photon was my first Rank 4 Science champ. I am still chasing HULK. I would choose Deathless after saying all that lol.

Count is where it's at. He can handle so much stuff, and is resistant/immune to so many different sources of damage. He is also very very easy to play, and if you just want someone to mash into the opponent with and spam specials Nefaria is definitely your guy. I think that, as a questing champ, Nefaria is probably one of the best in the game right now.

Aside from him I would also do Quicksilver and Lizard. They both have great damage and kinda equivalent utility to each other. They both have drawbacks though. Quicksilver is kinda hard to play sometimes and he has no dot immunities. Lizard is hard to play and needs a specific relic. But this is getting nitpicky tbh
