You shouldn't hold a gem like that for one specific champion IMO. You might never get them. And if you finally get them in a year or two, that gem will be WAY less valuable.
It took me nearly two years to get a 4* SWitch. I had a r5 5* before I got that specific 4 star. Imagine if I'd waited to us a RG or AG on her. By the time I got her, I considered those materials nearly worthless because I was done with 4 stars outside of arena.
Rank who you have, as long as they're strong. And Hypes is a beast, especially awakened. He'll help you clear a lot of content, like that Sinister in 6.2
The emphasis there is on what he capable of. He needs to ramp up through winning fights early, which is likely to chip away at his health quite a bit before he's into full on beast mode.
If you have the right synergies with him (Corvus, Ghulk, and Maw), this can happen significantly faster, but frankly Maw is pretty terrible (I say that having him awakened at 5/45, so it's first hand experience), so you're essentially wasting a spot on your roster to improve Cull.
Hyperion can obviously do great damage by himself, without relying on synergies or ramp ups, and has the added benefit of being poison immune.
Long winded answer, but here's my summary:
If you have Cull right now, with minimally Ghulk as a synergy, then I'd get him ranked up.
If you don't have Cull at the moment, I'd rank up Hyperion. He's a character that doesn't seem to be node-nerfed the way Corvus, Ghost, Blade, and likely someday Cull have been. I don't think you'd ever regret a R5 Hyperion.
cull has all the same except power gain and poison immunity, however cull needs to ko one person before the damage is equal, however after cull reaches 5 persistant charges he doubles the damage hyperion does. for an extremely skilled and careful player cull obsidian is a far better champion as he can burn through a 400k opponent in 20 hits once he has above 5 charges. for the majority of players who make a mistake here and there and are trying to clear contemt hyperion may be a better choice, hyperion also has some regen, but cull can parry any attack. i persoanlly prefer cull for two reasons, one i have champions maxxed out at 5* that do what hyperion does and two. im in a top 20 aq/aw ally so prestige is always taken into consideration and hyperions is dirt. oh also another decider is cull really get ridiculous with his rout buff at high sig level and the fury he gains when it expires is un rivaled in the game, but hyperion gains nothing above sig level 20 in 5* so is much easier to get hyp to pull potential
