Gentle
MutantB tier
Introduction
Gentle is a character in Marvel Contest of Champions. Gentle's role is Mutant.
On our Marvel Contest of Champions tier list Gentle is B tier, 136th of the 297 characters ranked, from where 4 current tier lists put Gentle.
Is Gentle good?
Gentle gets double value out of Attack Rating, counters Stun immunity, has a built-in answer to 
Bullseye, and is tanky enough to stay in a fight. He's immune to Bleed, so Liquid Courage and Double Edge lose their downside on him, and his own Recoil replacement inflicts Daunted with a potency that scales with every point invested.
He can't land crits, struggles against Energy damage, and Unstoppable opponents get around one of his key tools. B tier for a durable pick that trades crit damage for consistency.
Strengths
- Double use of Attack Rating
- Counters Stun immunity
- Answers Bullseye
- Tanky and durable
Weaknesses
- Cannot land critical hits
- Weak against Energy damage
- Unstoppable opponents get around his tools
