Pointless champ

Scratchmaster23

Question for kabam.
Why is karnak even in the game let alone in a 'special' event box?

Excellent question

Because he isn’t as bad as people think, simple as that. A champ will always be relevant as long as they have content they can shine in. Karnak may not be a go to Battlegrounds or war attacker, but he has the damage to hold his own.

Just because you use him in Act 6 doesn't automatically make him good, he is outdated and he's ass.

I also pulled karnak from the box, sucks, but he does have a synergy with Medusa..so.. maybe not horrible if u bring inhuman synergy and u have now the 7* instead of the 6*..

utility: counters autoblock and evade..and has high crit rate, also debuff duration is decreased by half or smth

damage: bad, very bad, no excuse to exist in the same class as Nick Fury.

Hes really not as bad as yall are making out. With stat focus and 7 star power level I think he can do some really good stuff and will probably do pretty great in colliseum

Should have buffed the majority of champs in that box obviously excluding the decent ones

There has never been a piece of content that I've said "wow, I need me some karnak"

Because he is extremely relevant in competitive endgame contents like realm of legends.

it’s to celebrate 2026 thus far in MCOC - pointless

Because look at what else is in the box. It’s not like it’s filled with very good champs with the exception of Britain.

Bro really tryna argue karnak is good when he’s objectively dogsh*t💀🙏🏽

It's about love, you know that love conquers all. You're a bit ugly, you're not good at stuff, you never quite found your way to being popular, don't worry someone will love you.

That's Karnak!

Lol he’s not top tier, obviously, he’s more like at the mid tier (Blade level). Usable, playable but limited at best

It's not that his kit is terrible but the game has evolved too much for it to be relevant, and he won't shine in Coliseum either why would I even use him over someone like Zemo Okoye or CB? I get trying to be positive and all that but let's not act like most of us would willingly handicap ourselves like that just because we want to use a champ some think is underrated. There's probably 10 options better than Karnak for Coliseum in the skill class alone.

I’ll give Karnak this, he has more damage potential than stellar forge 💩 lord

BeastDad

He's hot trash and no amount of copium changes that.

Actually, Blade is very good even in t1 wars with powerbacks. Don’t really see Karnak shining in the future while doing 8-fight wars. Got Karnak both on main and alt account, such a disappointment…

Karnak can handle plenty of fights if you know how he works and have a slight level of skill lol

Karnak looks like a refugee in this game, simply out of place

Ask the right question

What is Kabam folks smoking when they decide which champions should be in the box?

Blue_Eyed_Thing

Karnak has more damage and utility then stellar forged star lord, so...
