Savage Opress

That's because the AI only ever uses his Overpower when you are below 25%.

I use it whenever I can and get OHKO quite often. He's pretty useful on offense. Useless when controlled by the AI

Whose a better arena toon to farm then? Already have sid, han, and koth. Needed a dark side toon haha have him 5* g7

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.

Nah, an OU Savage is valuable. Use him to squash Dooku. You can be stymied by RG but a decent RG is still pretty rare. A miss on Savage is pretty bad because in many matches you have just wasted Qgj's advantage. And he may not get another chance. Savage isn't for endgame stuff, but he is plenty valueable for midgame people troubled by Dooku in arena and GW.

If you get him, you need to go all the way to 7 with him for him to be useful. He is great and appreciated. Don't listen to the naysayers.

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.

Im still wondering how is it possible for Savage to OHKO anyone. The only situation I can think of is if you play low level missions and a 7* Savage against 2* characters.

In GW I face maxed out Savage Opress purple gear all the time and no way he can ohko anyone. But I keep seeing the same comment about Savage OHKO, I just want to know how this is possible?

The AI will rarely manage such a feat. It's generally only achievable with a player-controlled Savage.

Basically, a fully-geared, 7* Savage with a Sid-led team can use his stomp w/offense up and crit for around 8K damage. It's not enough to kill most full 7* heroes, but he can kill some. His medium speed means that the targeted hero is usually not full health to begin with. And since most squads I face have Sid, he's always buffed from Sid's initial spaz-AoE.
