Nice! he was mine too. My next r5 (or r2 6*) I kind of want to make sure helps defense. That medusa would definitely be tempting

I’d suggest iceman, especially if you already have a good damage dealer, but if you want to be a monster on defence medusa might be the pick, also medusa would be great for 100% lol

Ahazu

100 % lol already done

Concerning Iceman: i do not like his "low" damage output
Same Problem with Vision OG (and very low Sig-Level, i need at least 100 more sig levels)
Hyperion at the moment my favorite
But Medusa also good defender and nice Prestige ...

Mabye i flip a coin?

Its gotta be what you like and enjoy playing. I would r5 iceman almost BECAUSE of his low damage output, so it would be a little higher lol.

OG Vis at least is a great power controller and immunity as well as iceman.

The way I see it, as you have LoL at 100%, your rank ups are for your enjoyment, or current content which is AW. If you dont need immunity or power control, my vote would be dusa.

I was Thinking of Gladiator Hulk too, because of his great matchup against Dormamu Bosses in AW

You don't really need a r5 for EQ or AQ, so I'll be focusing my opinion with AW in mind:

Iceman gets my vote out of all of those. He will always be an amazing champion.

Why not the others?

Hype would be my 2nd choice, amazing damage and good utility (incinerate to go through champs like electro, or nodes as safeguard, he has some healing, etc)

Medusa is losing value fast as people have learnt how to play against her and with all the true strike champs they are adding. She has sooo many counters (Voodoo, MS, KM, Iceman, Void, Hood, Gwenpool, GR, etc), even my 5/65 isn't getting any kills anymore in high tier war (tier 3+). Sometimes she has some when she catches people slipping, but that will only become less and less as time goes on.
And on offense she's not even close to Spark, so I wouldn't r5 her for offense.

Glad Hulk is cool, but with the Mystic nerf coming up he will also lose a lot of value (a lot less Mystics on defense).

AA is gimped by poison/bleed champs/nodes which there are a lot of in AW. I haven't seen anyone take AA into AW for a long time probably for this reason.

OG Vision is cool, very unique lol. But idk what he's like at r5. He will still drain the same power I think, so I doubt he will have much to gain from a rank-up utility-wise.

Hyperion, great for defense and versatile on attack, one of the best counters to IMIW at the moment.

belli300

Considering you already spend $500 on vision why not invest more hahah

Medusa IMO, but Iceman and Hypes are solid bets too. Can’t see Vision being much more of a use as a r5 than he is as a r4 other than trophy champ value. And i personally don’t have Gulk.

Medusa > Stark spidey, don’t even @ me. Robot killer, serial bleeder, inhuman synergy for extra attack and 6 furys.

Edit: I saw that you’d be using Medusa for defence, in that case, i’d say Hypes is the best bet.

10 poise charges > all of that. Medusa doesn't even come close to the damage that Spark can dish out in long fights. Just watch any LOL takedown video.

Thank you very much for this superb post!

You almost convinced me. What do you think about my conerns with Iceman (i would use him in offence):

low damage
and my biggest issue: tech champs. Now MS will be nerfed, we will see alot more of those sentinels and IMIW. Last war i timed out against imiw with rank4 Iceman...

If you're worried about IMIW then it has to be medusa or hype.

Hype is probably going to be my 2nd r5 as well.
