Should I take iceman to 5/50 or awaken AA and take him to 5/50 instead?

i Currently have a generic awakening gem and 62 sig stones. I’m trying to finish act 5 (5.1 and 5.2 first). Is it better to take iceman to 5/50, awaken and take AA there instead, or are both so inferior to domino that I should just wait to grind her next month and upgrade her instead?

    Iceman, plus with the silent AA nerf, you would get a lot more use out of Iceman

    Iceman is bleed immune and incinerate immune. And packs a hell of a punch. He's the way to go, I'd say.

    AA would be a great option for Act 5.1 and 5.2

    Stop staying that the AW bleed immune global node, is a silent Nerf to champs. Her Is unaffected for everything outside of AW

    @Justcause102 they are just lazily calling the introduction of global bleed immune node to the top 5 tiers of AW as a silent Nerf to "insert bleed champ" nothing is changing for AA

    I guess you're talking about a 4* Iceman or AA. In that case, r5 your Iceman but don't awaken him. He'll do just fine. Save your generic awakening for the champ who really needs it.

    Actually, I believe the referral to the 'silent nerf' is from a couple updates ago, though I don't remember which one it was. The stun that occurs after his Neurotoxins expire uses to stun opponents even on stun immune nodes. It also used to ignore limber, and always last the full duration listed in his abilites. A few updates ago, they changed this so that is no longer the case.

    Having said that, I personally prefer AA myself, but they both have great value for act 5. I used my 4* AA in act 5 all the time, if they bleed and poison they go bye bye. The heal block and AAR come in handy for a lot of paths, like masochism, vigor, spiked armor, just to name a few. Iceman also has his value though, being a fantastic option for the biohazard lanes and being able to tank l3's. Really depends on what the rest of your roster looks like and what you need most.
