Overall Hero Rating

How scoring works
4.27 / 10 Rank 88

Can remove armoured threats from range, but limited movement and crowd damage restrict his usefulness.

Guild Raid 3.0 / 10

Offers a situational way to clear Magnus’s adds, but that suggested tactic lacks measured results and does not establish broad raid strength.

Guild War 7.0 / 10

Defenses featuring Sy-gex hold in 35.9% of Meds Up battles across equally weighted battlefields, providing the stronger supported role.

Horde 5.0 / 10

Long range overwatch and armour counters help remove dangerous elites, while limited mobility and multi-target output constrain general wave clearing.

Popularity 2.06 / 10

Planner records show 1,395 players at Gold I or higher, 100 at Diamond I or higher and 2 at Adamantine II or higher. Five equally weighted milestones determine this investment-based Popularity score.
