I would use DV in way more situations than I would Magik.
i just wouldn't consider using a gem or any t2a on him at this point (outside of a pure prestige rank up). I don't remember the last time i saw anyone in a tier 1 war use him. His time has passed, even though he's a good champ
such as?
For starters he’s a lot more useful against healers/healing nodes. He’s a lot more effective against buffers than Magik IMO. Only need an L1 whereas Magik needs an L3. He has extra damage output with L2 that includes power control. Extra energy resistance while blocking and regen makes him more sustainable than Magik. The decreased ability accuracy on odd specials gives him more utility. I just feel like DV has more utility than Magik. Magik just... power locks. And I guess there’s her L3, too. She hits softly and has no sustainability (she can’t take a punch and she can’t really heal). Just my opinion.
P.S. I feel like we have this conversation on every mystic champ thread lol.
I think a lot of your final choice should rest on how you plan to use the champ, and who you like fighting with the most. I like DV because I have to be engaged enough to know my combo counter, and I tend to fight more strategically with him. Magik is fun in a “plow through it until it’s dead” kind of way. Have fun with whatever you choose!
My debate is whether to burn a generic AG on Magik or Voodoo at this point. It’s a precious resource, and mystics seem like they are fading as a class—but I’ve already got champs like Medusa, Blade, AA, SL awakened (and have 5* tech and mutant gems sitting unused, which allows me leeway in the event of a future Stark/IWIM/Sentinel or Domino/ST pull).
I suppose I could continue playing the RNG waiting game and see whether any of the cool new kids fall out of a crystal (Void, KM, Cap3, Hulk Rags), but my past 20-25 5* pulls haven’t yielded anything that moves my roster. If it seems like the question reeks of desperation a bit, then you understand where I’m coming from...
Advice appreciated.

Edited: counter buffet, masochism, counter this months Golden symboid on epic and fight him beyond 30secs. I have magik at rank 4 and voodoo at rank 5. I didn’t think twice before taking voodoo ahead of magik. Tier 1 indeed.
Are you still having issues with him chaining combos to specials?

Dude. I have a rank 4 sig 40 5* Hyperion and I face IMIW on tier 3 every war. If you don’t know what you’re saying, please move along

I rely on him a lot to clear lanes in war so I can save hype for the boss killing.
I'm not sure magik has true boss killing potential either though. There are some nodes in AW that can probably only be cleared by magik so I'd say it really comes down to your needs in war.
As a general "do everything awesome" champ, voodoo definitely fits the bill.
