Savage has only one place in the game right now for me, and thats when I face against an opponent using him. QGj free buff first turn whole team offense up, then I save Savage for last... if its a particularly longer match, I can get a second free buff when my ability resets. But usually when my QGJ team gets free offense up from Savage first turn the match is over very quickly.

Except for when the special does not proc. Then you are screwed as you have given Savage offense up and a 40% chance of going next. Seems like this happens way more than it used to.

no, even when savage has a buff, he's still not much of a threat. I run RG on my team and I've never had Savage ever OHKO anyone on my team. Since QGJ is speed leader I can take down/stun Savage before he gets a turn anyway. Honestly its very rare that Savage resists first turn OU. Savages basic attack is weak, even when buffed. GS, QGJ, or Rey is much more of a threat. His Overpower ability sucks and gets massive damage only on the last 25% health, which means nothing unless you are playing a boss challenge.

Savage looks good on paper, horrible in real gameplay.

maybe when the new meta drops he might be better.

Offence up on Savage's basic attack is weaksause. Though on 'Overpower' it quite good. Pity the AI seems to save that move until certain conditions.
