If you never get hit, Sparky's your guy. He is a bit of a glass cannon, but it is a very strong cannon. The glass doesn't matter if you don't take damage. If you do take damage, Blade is very forgiving and can literally be feeding you dozens or even hundreds of potions of healing in hard content.
Kilmonger is also a very good choice on paper, but my experience with KM is much lower than with Blade or Sparky, and I'm not an expert in the real world pros and cons between using him verses the other two.
Kabam Miike approves this message.
I love Magik myself and I also like the fact that she's a good attacker and defender so you get more mileage from her with a rank up. But while I think she is worthy of rank 5, I wouldn't make her one of my first simply because for what she is good at in general, rank 4 is plenty. If you're going to power lock a nasty boss to death, rank 4 or rank 5 is not a huge difference. But for both Blade and Sparky the rank up is a huge boost to what they are good for. Sparky is good for massive damage, and the rank up would help that significantly. In fact, given that he's a glass cannon the rank up greatly improves his survivability because he's just dishing out so much more damage. Blade is good for damage and especially good for healing, and the rank up helps him arguably even more because healing is non-proportional mitigation. Which is to say, things like armor and resistance (and even higher health bars) buy time vs damage. The more resistance or armor you have, the longer you can survive against incoming damage in a proportional way. If you cut incoming damage in half, you survive twice as long. But with healing, heals less than incoming damage mean you survive a little longer, heals greater than incoming damage means you're immortal.
Magik certainly gets better with rank ups, but in my opinion Sparky and Blade have better return on investment.
but you dont have him , so ... magik !
I had Blade spark GR all at R4. Was really torn between r5ing spark or Blade. Blade duped, spark unduped.
I r5ed my unduped spark above duped Blade. Spark needs that extra health for longer survivability and he's just so much better at r5. Hands down he's one of the best R5 option. I'm not regretting a bit on my decision. He's just incredible. If you are good at spark then definitely do him. My R5 spark is still unduped and can clear content with no fuzz at all. I have a generic gem (unlucky not to have a tech gem and skill gem, rest all classes I have) I'm still debating to use that gem on him just because he's so good as unduped that he suffices my need at the moment. Having pulled aegon recently I'm confused on generic.
In summary, do spark above Blade. It's really worth. You won't regret. If you are good at him.
Good luck.
Best decision I’ve made in this game.
