THAT ROGUE SYNERGY I NEED IT

[@user-po8so6gy3i]

God’s MBC it’s your?

[@CallMeYello]

Thought of you immediately after I saw that

[@woolvermeano.g.5522]

Rouge with this synergy vs a node that special attacks costs 50% less power and a buff heavy champ...straight up cheese...

[@bossstarling217alt2]

Here before the nerf.

[@debuhoon]

First the Champion synergy then the rogue one, are you KaBam mIkE?

[@Lagacy]

Hypeee, I need him…

[@billnyebootyhole1759]

I agree. He looks like so much fun

[@addisonqi8133]

Like how he almost guarantees crits with that 18k increase in critical rating. But it isn’t guaranteed so that maw can’t be a counter to absorbing man.

[@austingeog]

Don’t say that. Another QS situation. My MCOC meditation for 2023: I need no champ. I will seek no champ. The champ will cometh to me 😂

[@PantherNationn]

Very smart design. Looks like he requires skill for the big payoff, and solves problems other synergy champs have had for YEARS. Rogue, iHulk and I approve. Well done, DLL. 👍

[@PawarPlays]

Man, the Rouge synergy has " absorbed " all the attention from the video to itself. Finally

[@thanosstxr]

[@Macandi293]

“Thank You”, Kabam and the team for adding my champions to the roster 💌 Absorbing man is highly detailed and would be an astounding fit for any player’s roster.

[@crazycasey824]

I feel like I'm more excited about this month's champs over the eight that could be in the game for the Summoner's choice

[@stevemeters3090]

I'm with you, dude. I feel very indifferent to all of the characters they chose for the Summoner's Choice event.

[@ZachofPotatoes732]

Isn’t gladiator one of the choices?

[@Omaal8x]

Nice, they add Brian Grant to the game

[@Dont4Get2BringATow3l]

I called it, he’s definitely a precursor to Mystique. The fact the forms don’t go away after using them is proof of that. That’s how Kabam is gonna get around her chancing into other characters. She’s the “iconic” mutant they teased in the roadmap. Now I can’t wait til June, LETS F$&king Go!!!! 👍 🔥

[@Ultrqviolencee]

Mystique and Polaris maybe🤫

[@hedgehoginacanoe5838]

Don't forget the relics They basically swap out your champion with whatever relics is attached to them

[@akiravrz8639]

Emma frost already has this lmao

[@_think2026]

I agree but how will that help? She doesn’t copy abilities only appearances.

[@valentinsoriano34]

I also thought mystique I saw other channels saying no one really comes to mind when they hear iconic mutant other than mag prof x apocalypse colossus, idk how they didnt think of mystique

[@EmperorHawk]

My favorite part was when Absorbing Man said “It’s morphin’ time.” And morphed all over the place. Truly, one of the Champions in the Contest

At this point every champion upcoming are amazing. Just grind and rank up and wallah

[@Ultrqviolencee]

OHHHHHH MYYYYYYY GODDDDDD HE HAS SELECTABLE IMMUNITIES JUST LIKE SCORPION EXCEPT INSTEAD OF 3 HE HAS 4 POSSIBLE IMMUNITIES. AUTOMATIC TOP 5 MYSTIC CHAMP

[@snoopy4749]

Been waiting for Creel to come for years and now finally hes here and is a weapon!

[@dienisshi2]

Omg I just love the way his heavy-special chain works

[@mlggamer5296]

Now all the synergies absorbed all of my attention every one of them. You did well with this champion. At this point I'm literally like cuz I already have an immortal hulk, I already have Rogue. Makes me want to get the rest of the Synergy members so that whenever I'm able to play this game again and I do get him I'm ready to use him right away

[@Boatanga]

This champion looks absolutely fantastic. I love the design I love the gameplay. I love the animations. I love the character design and how he looks when he’s changed forms will definitely be going for this guy

[@kayyodii]

Love that ibom synergy

[@austingeog]

Nice work DLL. I have a mystic awakening gem. Was bummed. Any other class I wanted more. Now have AM or SS to use it on. Looks spicey….

[@editorx6936]

I am so grinding for this man in the arena!!!

[@lukewarmcontent]

I’m kind of upset that they didn’t add anything for his Gamma Absorption that was shown in the Immortal Hulk series but I’m really happy with how they did Absorbing Man nonetheless.

[@aRchrNoirEndrz]

Titania Synergy Worth To Get. This deep dives almost feels like a textbook but all his abilities ain't bore me out of him for my roster. also, absolute moment on his Victory outro. XD

[@thahirshibu5042]

Clearly starting this year off with a bang

[@mlggamer5296]

So you actually can change his what he's made out of initially, his form. Between the lava and the uru form. That's really cool

[@dst-4ever486]

"Did you see a sinergy that ABSORB your attention", that's was God

[@woolvermeano.g.5522]

This was a lot to absorb...looking forward to testing him out though...

[@Yummers0091]

Yeah Imma call him Synergy Man for now on, all his synergies are just too good.

[@mlggamer5296]

So by blocking a hit and refined form he can lower their power rates and then that power can be transferred to him that's a really cool at least until he stops blocking. This guy is a Powerhouse already and I'm not just saying that for the pun

[@Goldtaker23]

Thank you DLL for such a great champ!! I gotta get him!

[@savages-on-deck]

Didn’t think we’d be getting Crusher Creel but I’ll take it

[@rebelxmcoc4418]

Saving my shards for the may featured for Zemo but pulling this guy wouldn't be bad either

[@serpent_god0842]

That damage looks sick! Sure he's gonna be a pain to fight

[@randoo5715]

I like what they did,it makes sense for the character and seems like a massive pain to fight

[@ericgraham5201]

I'm starting to learn some of these characters from Agents of Smash. Its a decent series if you are bored and have time.

[@masacre_999]

I need absorbing man!! He is awesome

[@mlggamer5296]

Okay upon further observation I see you just modernized that mechanic a little bit so it probably is the same but instead of the Buffs themselves having the timer and then refreshing every time you touch you'll see them as more permanent buffs but there's an actual timer going down rather than on the buffs themselves

[@sunildeepsingh5566]

A awsome new character, cant wait to have him on my roster

[@axelnilsson5124]

Would have been cool if Absorbing Man gets additional abilities depending on the champions you bring like if you bring Groot or King Groot you can access a wooden form that could regenerate him or if you bring The Thing or Korg you can access a rock form that enhances his damage resistance

[@maxknuckles13]

This has got to be DLL' champ design w that counter heavy.. haha

[@danielpevzner6610]

Has there been any change since that video? Green door synergy doesn’t seem to appear for my 5 star absorbing man

[@gameguyry4687]

why did the rotation not show anything to do with his magma for and special 2? surely there’s more than one play style that involves the l2, so why was it not shown?

[@DashieNegan41]

I'm so excited for Absorbing Man

[@ziveisenstodt2477]

I wish he would change texture and abilities according to certain Champions he's fighting. Like metal Champions he would be in metal form, but Iceman and Emma Frost he would be a blue crystal, Thing and Korg rock, Gamma Champs he would turn green, and so on

[@SexyBurrito69]

ok did i miss something, why does he have the blue charges symbol on his frame? what are they used for?

[@treasuretreasure2712]

[@zixseryuichannel]

His omni-morph forms grant him different immunity thats so good.

[@dragonman1977]

The Hulk Immortal synergy and Thor synergy I need!!

[@jessicaallen2470]

One thing he basically NEEDS for good damage is my biggest offensive weakness in this game... I am awful at light intercepts...my Achilles heel....if I followed this correctly though, he's going to way more of a problem on defense at high levels.....just regenning 30% of his max health a few times a fight?!?!

[@luistorres-cardenas3283]

I'd imagine Absorbing Man destroying Hulking or Hercules

[@youwish931]

he indirectly a counter for them

[@mlggamer5296]

Almost forgot to say by the way I wish we had had dorky Dave on for this one because we would have heard "big yellow numbers" for this dude

[@orion5414]

basically a mystic hercules

[@mlggamer5296]

And obviously I can't get over that special three I didn't know he could grow but most importantly a crystalline form oh my God and he can turn them into Crystal. I feel like that should have been a third form honestly if you do your special three but this guy is way better than I thought it was going to be cuz like I said I thought he was just going to be a thing where if he's fighting metal champions then he would just take on the composition of what makes them metal but from what I've seen the lava/the magma form and the Uru form that's pretty dope. Also I noticed that he gets his uru from the black Wrecking Ball I always thought it was from Thor while fighting him and that was a thing you could just retain and do whatever he wanted how did he get his hands on a wrecking ball of that strength? I need to look up this dude's origin

[@markmartin5817]

There’s so much to absorb. He has so many if/then play style actions that he will take a lot of skill and understanding to use him at his full potential. Someone will figure him out and they’ll nerf him. He has so much in his kit and synergies it’s bound to happen. Hopefully if I get him early I can learn the best rotations. He looks interesting and the better of the 2 this month though. Also their building a lot of new champs to counter herc. This is ok though since he’s a mystic. 90% reduced immortality. 😢

[@angrychickin]

I feel l8ke I need a power point presentation to understand this dude

[@Absolute-Melody]

19,800+ critical rating if opponent isn’t stunned on heavy? Lot’s of nodes will benefit from that
