I have a Blade at R5 already if I need to bleed out a champ. I don't know much about NIck Fury. Just trying to understand his usage and if he is worth ranking up.
I like my R4/55 Fury. Not awakened. They synergies and his bleeds make him worth while without the sig ability. If you have someone more useful, then perhaps he's not worth it right now for you. Really hinges on what you need. Blade is a great bleed champ so that aspect is covered. As previously mentioned, if you have Heimdall and Hela or Angela, you can load up Fury with Fury for the match and he becomes a straight BEAST. Play around with him and see if you enjoy fighting with him then make the choice. Or wait until the 5* AG Crystal from the Summoner Appreciation Calendar comes in and see if you land yourself a Skill gem for him.
As some others have mentioned he does have some great synergies so I'd say it may be worthwhile to take a look at your roster and see what Champions you have that synergize with him. Heimdall's Lost Daughters of Asgard synergy can be an easy way to get a permanent Fury so you can keep Tactical Charges indefinitely without needing to use Nick's signature ability. Plus Nick's synergies can help to round out a team if you need. His Strategic Sabotage synergy can provide an extra bit of security to the rest of the team and the Nick's Leadership synergy can be a great addition to any team with Heroes on it.

As for the damage, no, this fury doesn't count as the fury isnforious buff, that one just gives a lot of extra damage.
