Is Havok good?
Havok wants to stack Plasma Build Up debuffs for maximum damage anyway, which makes Despair a natural fit for him. His Special 3 combines Prowess with Purifying his own Plasma Build Ups in a way that can multiply the Attack bonus from Courage, Glass Cannon or Greater Strength, and his below-average base Critical Rating means Precision goes further on him than on most Mutants.
S tier for a champion whose masteries line up cleanly with what his kit already wants to do.
Strengths
- Stacks Plasma Build Up debuffs for maximum damage
- Special 3 combines Prowess and Purified Plasma Build Ups for multiplied Attack bonuses
Weaknesses
- Below-average base Critical Rating needs extra investment to fix
Profile
Havok's full name is Alexander Summers.
Background
Alexander Summers aka Havok, is the younger brother of Scott Summers.
Much like his brother, Havok has the ability to project blasts of plasma energy, though his blasts are released as concentric waves of energy, and Havok must use significant effort to focus them into directed blasts.
Havok can be overwhelmed by his power which can make him nearly as dangerous to his friends as his enemies, and leads him to wear a specialized containment suit.
