Just pulled 7 star WM. I don’t feel good. I feel like it’s a disappointment after collecting 15k shards. What do you think of him? How trash is he? No trolling please.

P.S. Don't take him against havok on crumbling armor node...
There's no place where he shines....not even the long form content for which he was advertised
The utility is not great
Damage burst is accessible only after an exhausting ramp-up
Many champs can give similar damage output without going through so much hassle
If he had more consistent damage even if lowered by about 20-25%, with meaningful pieces of utility, he might have had a place in the contest
Currently he's just a champ that very few people like
I pulled him as my second 7*, and I'm more than happy with him.
He doesn't need his full rotation (including an SP3) in a lot of content - two SP2s gives you a total Armour Break of -7300, which boasts his damage output a lot. And if you can land the occasional Heavy to refresh them, you can keep those armour breaks up permanently; even if the opponent is tending to turtle up a bit.
But, if the fight is still going on, you can then maximise his damage with an SP3 to give you three Fury passives each giving you about +50% Attack. But personally I rarely get that far into his rotation
Also, being a 7* makes a big difference as they have 130% Combat Power rating; so you can throw those Specials more easily.
Here's a few links to give you some hope, and an idea what you can do with him:
He is neither a defender nor offers any meaningful utility
Even the damage u talk about comes only after 2 Sp2s, which means he will struggle to finish fights under 60-70 seconds
Keeping all that in mind, the only way he would find a place in someone's BG deck is if the player doesn't have a well developed roster & WM is one of their early 7*
A player will have him in their deck only when they are out of options
As I said, he is not complete trash for newer or lesser developed accounts, but thinking that he holds any value in current state of the game is being delusional
It's fine if u like a champ, but it's not fine to overvalue them while giving honest advise to other players
He’s my 3rd choice Tech champ behind Nimrod and iDoom.
1) He’s tanky.
2) He’s got Armour Up which is good for Havok.
3) Special attacks ignore Evade.
4) Decent power control with Suppression.
5) Suppression debuffs remove Prowess buffs.
6) Deals Rupture which is quite niche.
7) Simple rotation.
8) SP2s deal Armour Break & Heavy refreshes them.
9) Hits like a truck with SP2-SP2-SP3 rotation.
10) Potent Regen & Fury with sig, durable.
11) Pre-fight ability is insane & can be applied to any Tech champ.
What’s not to love?
Who knows, he may be very useful for future long form content - especially as a 7 star.
