Is Nimrod good?
Nimrod runs two modes: TITAN Protocol gives him high Armor Rating, reduced Critical damage taken, and a nasty Cowardice debuff against anyone who throws Special Attacks, while BLITZ Protocol shreds the Prowess and Regeneration effects common on Mutants. His Special 1 pairs Energy Damage with a long Energy Vulnerability, letting him get through champions who stack physical defense but skimp on Energy Resistance.
He's fragile for an A-tier pick, though: lower base health leaves him open to True Damage and Armor-scaling attacks, and since he needs Well-Timed Blocks to build Armor Ups, Block Penetration or Unblockable champions give him real trouble.
Strengths
- High Armor, reduced Crit damage, and Cowardice on Special-happy opponents in TITAN Protocol
- Special 1's Energy Damage plus long Energy Vulnerability gets past high-physical, low-energy-resist champions
- BLITZ Protocol shreds Mutant-common Prowess and Regeneration
Weaknesses
- Lower base health leaves him open to True Damage and Armor-scaling attacks
- Needs Well-Timed Blocks to build Armor Ups, so Block Penetration or Unblockable champions punish him
- Energy Resistance shuts down most of his damage
Background
Nimrod is the ultimate Sentinel. Constructed in a timeline where Mutants have been completely wiped out by the superior, infinitely advancing robotic beings.
Upon realization that it’s one directive to exterminate all Mutants was no longer possible within Nimrod's original timeline, this flawless, unstoppable force of destruction begins to jump to alternate timelines, ridding the multi-verse of the heinous Mutant scourge.
