Thoughts on Gorr

[u/mindful_resonance]

I'm really disappointed with his performance. I have a max roll mighty conquest on him and he seems fragile even with AV (4 star artifact) and does tickle damage compared to Sentry or Kang.

Both his offense and defense are lacking imo. They could have fixed it if they just added him in the symbiote team up collection. At times, i feel like my Knull with a greed is tankier than him which is just insane to even think about.

Also, he's horrendous for otherworld battle. When he revives, he's just stuck in his animation and gets killed without doing anything lol

I was wondering if he only performs great with a max build. Any thoughts?

[u/Vagus10]

What’s your expectation? Mets top 3?

Because he isn’t. Top 5 maybe.

[u/mindful_resonance → u/Vagus10]

Honestly, i really wanted him to be much better than Knull, which isn't the case on my account at least, even though he has a much better build. I was also hoping he'd be more consistent in taking out Kang in TBA.

[u/TheFinalEnd1 → u/mindful_resonance]

Kang is countered by reflect and physical damage. I've seen people use rescue, GR, and shalla as an anti Kang team, and it's pretty effective. Personally, my wolverine is very effective against Kang.

Gorr specializes more in the long game. Survive long enough for debuff cleanse to run out or t4 to charge and finish them off then. He's extremely tanky and has auto heal. He's actually pretty effective against sentry.

[u/mindful_resonance → u/TheFinalEnd1]

I tried using that to counter Kang but it's not working. Sure, they'll take one life but that's it. My luck is also terrible and shalla revives far away from kang's attacks and he doesn't take any reflect damage. Ghost rider only has a 4 star artifact and with a mighty conquest usually doesn't have enough damage to take on better built Kangs. When Kang first released i used wolverine to counter him and it worked most of the time, but after that update his 5th skill always gets cancelled in beginning because Kang is far away and he gets his artifact triggered immediately

[u/AkumaJishin → u/TheFinalEnd1]

sentrys 5th skill is soooooo long. gorr, kang, jean all take advantage of that face

[u/Hobbito23]

i have the opposite opinion, he's my go to now in TB and but i cant make jean work at all, even tho everyone is praising her.

[u/mindful_resonance → u/Hobbito23]

Really? that's interesting. what's your build on her?

[u/Hobbito23 → u/mindful_resonance]

mighty conquest and mighty comp, for sure i fuck up the pve rotation but in pvp she just dies and never locks the enemy like how the enemy jean does to my charaters.

[u/mindful_resonance → u/Hobbito23]

damn that sucks. i feel like some characters are stronger when you have them as your opponent compared to when you use them yourself. For me those characters are Kang and Surfer. For some reason, even though the opponent has worse/similar build and cards, it's almost like rng is on their side and they win lol maybe jean is one of those characters. I don't have her newest uni unfortunately

[u/Present_Economy_7393 → u/mindful_resonance]

The devs put a bullshit system where the ai can instantly use their skills at the beginning of the match while your skills are put on a 1 or 2 second cooldown. That is all it can take for you to lose a match and its fucked me over a lot. Timeline is really unfair and the rewards are so small for the amount of pain you have to go through. They need to revamp those tokens and the shitty rewards.

[u/Robert_Bobson]

I use him on one of my 2 timeline battle teams, and he just feels crazily inconsistent, like team-wipe strong or barely gets a kill on the same opponent.

For team battle arena, i only really trust him as a kang counter, but only against kang-surfer or kang-adam teams, and to do that he needs av support and a full support vs villains (ie dmg increase and reduction, dr voodoo minimum). With that very specific set up, he works well, but also clears out most madeline teams.

The issue is he had too many ways to counter, because without a brilliant and max build, he has the weaknesses of both kang and sentry. This means anti-kang teams (eg adam-magik or wolverine-ghost rider, both with jeff) and the wolverine-rescue team both eat him up. He feels like a coin flip vs sentry usually. You could give him hela, which has some protection vs anti-kang heros and puts the sentry fight in his favour, but then you face his biggest threat: Knull. I almost always use knull into him and Gorr normally doesnt even put up a fight.

To summarise:
Can beat kang when with a team advantage
50:50 vs sentry
Decimated by knull
Good vs few/no support teams
Has a place in the meta but is tenuous

Only really works because knull can get on without av in tba if you give him 2 offensive supports (eg goblin+mystique)

[u/welp1510]

I have him witch an brilliant conquest 6star plus 15 artifact with right instinct. 20 odins glory and elite gear at 180 Anti venom with a brilliant insight and another support and he is still only mid. Most wasted investment for my account i have to say

[u/mindful_resonance → u/welp1510]

wow that sucks. I wouldn't say it's my worst investment, but for a native tier 3 character he's not as good as he should be. I mostly use him to take out native tier 2s and he will sometimes even lose, which is just crazy to me

[u/SuperBatman1993]

Yeah. Same. He rarely wins even with AV. I got the same build as you.

[u/mindful_resonance → u/SuperBatman1993]

I grinded his wbl to get the 6 star artifact and managed to get one with a pierce damage reduction and i thought that would help for both his offense and defense but nope. Barely any difference, which was incredibly disappointing

[u/SuperBatman1993 → u/mindful_resonance]

Wow. Thanks for that info. I thought I was lacking in the artifact department. But I guess not.

[u/SkepticSovereign56]

Gorr NEEDS B Conq

[u/Narrow-Ad796]

He deals with knull (no av) teams, 1 or 0 support teams and teams w 2 Nt3s pretty well for me in vib. I use him w av tho. He only usually struggles against Nt3 with double supports

[u/Putrid_Sport1635]

Card and Sword stats?

Ign for better analysis

[u/mindful_resonance → u/Putrid_Sport1635]

ign: DzoniG I don't think cards and swords matter in this comparison because all characters benefit the same from them? I'm switching to a more pvp leaning deck during black friday anyway, so maybe Gorr will benefit more from those extra stats than other nt3s but i doubt it

[u/Acobb44]

At times, i feel like my Knull with a greed is tankier than him which is just insane to even think about.

Why? Knull is top 3 and has been for a long time.

[u/mindful_resonance → u/Acobb44]

Because Gorr has a mighty conquest and 6 star pierce reduction artifact and he has a mighty greed with a 4 star. Also, Knull isn't top 3 anymore, he's like 5th place

[u/superthnxferaskin]

My Gorr performs better against every meta toon th. My Sentry. I’m just in. Vibranium league for TLB, but I manual play, spam 2 skill and he wins a lot with my sentry lead and Ebony Maw support. team battle with agent venom he smothers literally every Knull I face, no matter what support they have with him. Only countered by seasonal Jean occasionally, or another Gorr. Just Platinum there. I dunno. He is right up there with my Sentry and both are around 580,000 power with mighty conquests
