Offensive Uses for Korg

My ally has suggested I r5 my duped 5* Korg for AW using the 4->5 gem I have. I tend to not like r5 champs for AWD because their stock drops so fast after Kabam releases a counter. With RDT so rare and rank resources so precious, it's usually not a good idea to rank for AWD unless the champ is also heavy on utility or damage. I r5 Medusa for this reason; even as her AWD stock continues to drop, she's still clutch for all kinds of content.
My other r5 are Domino and Ægon and I'm coming up on my 6th t5b with t2a in overflow. I have decent immune already such as Nebula/EF. Other skill contenders would be Blade, GP, HE or Masacre. All either duped or I have a skill AG. Future moves will be to r2 my unduped 6* Domino and r5 CG, Ghost or OR once he's duped. I'm missing most of the key synergy pieces for these champs at 5* or higher though.
TLDR: So... Thoughts on Korg to r5? Worth it? Any offensive use?

Not to mention korg is still a pain in war. His defensive capabilities haven’t dropped much.
I don't use him often for offense, but he has a few benefits. His immunities are nice. You can parry twice and then covert those 6 charges of crown excitement into an armor break. Also if you hit the special 2 when he's unblockable/unstoppable, it buffs its damage and you do do some harm with that. Finally, if you're not trying to play with finesse, he's OK against evade champs because they'll evade and they you have a free hit (But may take a hit as well)
So unless you already have a few R5 defenders at least then I don't see the problem with your alliance expecting you to chip in on both sides of the ball
I'd understand if it's ones 1st 1-3 R5s but at some point you have to be willing to chip in as well or be in an alliance that doesn't care about war (which after the AQ update is exactly what I did)
He now resides entirely on the bench except for AW defense and arena grinding.
Plus a bonus of 50% more regen.
A duped korg on this line, can be messy.
As offense, i read ealier, drop an sp3, to get the crowd excited, a heavy and armor break can make big damage....
But still he his made for defense.
Keep your gem.
For my alliances, every 3rd rank up must be a defender to be contributed to defence. If they’re unwilling to do so, they can get off the team. I’m totally fine with that.
