Just got kingpin as my first 5 star champ

How is he? I don't have any real experience playing with him, and he seems underwhelming from the couple battles i just ran through with him.
Also, if anyone has tips for playing him lmk!

Sad ... Colossus is bleed immune, Kingpin is not.

Kingpin isn’t bleed immune, but he has a 50% chance to shrug off & convert a bleed (or any debuff) into a rage buff, increasing his attack and power gain.

I feel like KP is an underrated champ. Debuff conversion into rage buffs, ability accuracy reduction/weakness/direct damage on his sp1, unstoppable buff after connecting with an sp2, great option against evade champs (gains a rage buff on passive evades), higher than average health, a fury buff that triggers after hitting 3 heavy attacks in a timed period, an overpower mechanic that allows him to increase his damage to a pretty high amount AND makes his specials unblockable, and he has some good synergies.

He has to take damage or wait for an sp3 in order to acquire rage buffs, but they ramp up his damage quite a bit. He combines high burst damage with some nice utility. He also doesn’t need a dupe to be viable, which is great when you don’t pull tons of 5* champs.

The main issues I’ve had with him are tied to some of his base stats. His base attack is poor, so he really needs the boost from his rage/fury/overpower buffs. His critical rate and damage are poor as well.

I think Kingpin is a fun champ to play. He’s not the best at any one thing, but he’s a versatile counter in a lot of situations. Have fun playing with your first 5* champ!

He's my first 6*. I'm glad I was drinking at the time -_-

Don’t be sad about that pull! He can be really tanky against some champs, he definitely will be useful for you. Underrated.

Congrats!
Kingpin is a good champ for a first time 5

Thanks for y'alls responses! I appreciate it

Yeah, there's better but there's also much worse. My first was Ant Man. Lol. KP has some solid uses for both attack, and War defense. It's a good first 5* for sure.

Ant Man with the new Ghost and Wasp synergy deals high damage, just saying

My duped 5* kingpin is 4/55 he gets at least 2 kills every war (I'm in a gold 2 alliance so kills are pretty scarce) and he is actually a ton of fun to play with

@Solotrix I haven't pulled those two yet outside of a 2*. I actually don't hate AM but he's not desirable for a lot of people and I don't really use him for much
