Getting awakening gems is rare as you don’t get them too often. These are awarded after the completion of certain story quests or event quests. So you must be wise enough to use them on good champs, especially when you are using a 5-star awakening gem and a generic awakening gem.

Generic awakening gems are those gems that can be used to awaken any champ and it doesn’t matter what class they belong to. Whether you have a 5-star, 4-star, or even 3-star generic awakening gem, you can use on these champs to awaken.

Is this list for offense or defense? Questing? I’m teying to figure out who to use my 5* skill awakening gem on and I want it to be used for aw defense.
December 26, 2018 @ 6:58 pm
Well, Korg is the best option for you if you have him, else I would recommend to wait for Korg if you need to use it for AWD. If Korg is already awakened, Thord Ragnarok, Taskmaster, Killmonger.
January 17, 2019 @ 2:38 pm
Korgs coming in the arenas soon, don’t waste awakening gem on him imo
May 26, 2019 @ 11:08 pm
Are you guys sure about Emma not only do you guys have her as a R5 worthy champ but also worthy of a generic awakening gem this page is the only one saying this so what do you know that others don’t
June 25, 2019 @ 3:37 pm
On defence she is worth a generic on offense her awakened ability does absolutely nothing
June 29, 2019 @ 11:11 am
When running half suicide mastery, who would be best as a defender and as an attacker?
Duped Omega Red- 5* R3
Duped Domino – 5* R4
Thanks in advance for your help!
June 30, 2019 @ 7:09 am
Domino as a defender and Omega Red as an attacker. OR is not a good defender anyway and Domino with suicide mastery will not do much and die quickly. So running suicide is not recoomended while placing the defender or when war is on.
July 9, 2019 @ 5:32 am
I think there should be Ghost listed as well in tech awakening offensive list…she is so nice after being awakened
August 24, 2019 @ 10:14 am
I believe you forgot Captain Marvel (Movie) in the attacker list
August 25, 2019 @ 1:15 pm
Indeed! Added Now.
September 12, 2019 @ 9:50 pm
I have a tough choice. Do I use my generic 5* awakening gem on Nick Fury or Void. Both are R4 and I use them on most story and event content. Just don’t know which gets the bigger boost from being awakened.
December 9, 2020 @ 11:57 pm
You have Darkhawk #1 offense and defense tech, I have 5* Darkhawk and a tech AG, been wanting to use it on him but everybody says wait for something better.
January 3, 2020 @ 3:07 am
What about Claire Voyant? Who deserves a 5* Mystic gem, Claire Voyant, Dr. Voodoo or Symbiote Supreme? Offense or defense, whatever would benefit most
January 3, 2020 @ 11:15 am
Claire Voyant Doesn’t need to be awakened unless you are chasing Prestige. Symbiote Supreme should be first to awaken. Do remember that Symbiote Supreme is more useful with MD Mastery enabled.
January 21, 2020 @ 9:16 am
On tech AWD list you have Warlock twice, just an FYI pal. Thanks for the time and effort
January 21, 2020 @ 9:06 pm
Why is captain America iw among your champions worth a generic gem, second science after void, and then listed as third choice only for a science gem, she-hulk being listed 2nd while not present in generic list ?
I don’t get the logic here. Could you explain further?
August 21, 2020 @ 6:27 am
I believe this list need to be corrected I see many flaws here.
Nick fury is so far the best Skill champ no other is even far close to him.and he will among the top overall champ if one knows
And his dual life have some game changing ability which only gets enabled on dupe so he must deserved a spot before Blade and Aegon.
To be honest Aegon unramped damage suck which means there are lots of better champ for day to day content like Monthly , story etc. He is only GOD and best in Abyss and LOL etc.
SO Nick is best and it needs awaken gem before them.
August 21, 2020 @ 6:35 am
The list is random. It’s not sorted in order.
August 26, 2020 @ 6:18 pm
Opps Sorry brother i though they are sorted too , great work then man
July 9, 2021 @ 5:49 pm
Hey man – love the site/help but…this list would be MUCH more helpful to people if in order of importance, no? Then at least if you have multiple champs on the list you can determine which ones to awaken first, second, etc…
But again – thanks dude!
October 5, 2021 @ 11:38 am
But everyone has differing opinions, I won’t waste any AG on corvus as I’ve got CGR max sig and never really rated him anyway, everyone’s got their own tier list.
September 19, 2020 @ 2:36 pm
@mcoc fan Update Scarlet Wotch, she is now available as a 5*.
October 8, 2020 @ 1:37 am
Dude , due recent upgrades does magneto deserves mutant stone?
October 8, 2020 @ 10:08 am
Magneto doesn’t need awakening. It just provides you protection if you get hit (no protection from L3, though). I would say, save it.
November 9, 2020 @ 12:23 pm
Can you update the generic gem section? You’ve updated the class sections pretty recently, but other than taking out asterisks for Scarlet and Wolverine you haven’t really changed the generic stuff. I’m sure a lot of other people will check here for suggestions considering the generic gem reward for using gamma in the store this month.
Thanks!
November 10, 2020 @ 12:13 am
List is updated every month. The reason Generic is still the same because Kabam hasn’t brought such champ that really deserves generic or must be awakened to unlock potential.
November 9, 2020 @ 8:50 pm
What’s your case for Sorcerer Supreme using a generic gem? This is the only list I see with her on it.
November 9, 2020 @ 9:10 pm
It was to get 50% ability accuracy. Well, haven’t updated this for a while. I will update today.
November 9, 2020 @ 9:26 pm
Cool cool. She is amazing, I just don’t have her awakened and don’t know much about her sig ability so I was curious. Thanks!
November 12, 2020 @ 5:25 am
Only in 2020, Terrax deserves a TECH awakening gem 😉 😛
November 12, 2020 @ 2:55 pm
If you want to use him as a defender, sure.
November 12, 2020 @ 10:44 pm
You didn’t get it xD
Terrax is’t a tech champ …
November 12, 2020 @ 11:01 pm
Now I see lol! Yes, my bad. He is Cosmic.
December 3, 2020 @ 5:58 am
Hey all really torn. 2 x Generic 5* awakens, have a ton of sig boosts collecting dust for cosmic & science champs bc haven’t had any of that class awakened yet in 5*.
Recently got a ton of new 5* like Dr Doom, DDevil HK, new Black Widow, & others but have a venom the duck & a Thing nearly R5 in 5* that are begging to be awakened. What to do??
December 3, 2020 @ 5:09 pm
As Far as Ranking in concerned, I will first rank Dr. Doom, and then New Widow. Both of them don’t even need to awaken. But, if you want to increase your Prestige, put as many sigs as you can to Dr. Doom.
Thing is a very annoying defender and deserves all 200 signatures. He is useful as an attacker sometimes, but you are not gonna use him quite often.
You have only Venom the Duck that gets most of the benefit from signature. So if you are not ready to wait, you can put sigs to Venom the Duck.
December 9, 2020 @ 11:56 pm
You have Darkhawk #1 offense and defense tech, I have 5* Darkhawk and a tech AG, been wanting to use it on him but everybody says wait for something better.
December 10, 2020 @ 12:51 am
If you can max his sigs, he hits like truck after Special 3.
December 29, 2020 @ 9:56 pm
Should I use my 5* Mystic Awakening Gem on Sasquatch or Dormammu?
December 29, 2020 @ 10:53 pm
Both need it for Defensive Ability only. Doesn’t benefit as Offensive. So if you are thinking to awaken and use them as attackers. It’s not a good idea.
June 15, 2021 @ 12:50 pm
Hi. You think that Apo desserves a mutant gem ? I usually read it’s almost useless ?
July 9, 2021 @ 1:29 am
Yeah so u missed angela she benefits greatly from the awakening especially since her buff
September 8, 2021 @ 9:44 pm
Silver centaurion is not skill
October 7, 2021 @ 3:13 pm
Alright so I have a 5* tech AG and several Champs I can use it on( IMIW, HB, Starky, Mysterio, Sentinel, Ultron) I’m leaning towards a defender for AW, but I can’t decide. Any advice?
November 1, 2021 @ 4:04 pm
Half this list not just don’t deserve awakening gem, they don’t deserve even ranking up.
Super Skrull, Chavez, Abomination and quite a lot more should stay r1 unawekaned until buffed.

Defenders that Deserve Science Awakening Gem
5. Knull is Not Science he is Cosmic
February 20, 2022 @ 9:16 am
Thanks. I have fixed it.
February 22, 2022 @ 8:59 pm
Nice info. Thanks.
April 9, 2022 @ 1:17 pm
I’m sorry, but this list is terrible. Do not follow the rankings presented here. It is highly inaccurate. Please do more research. Also, determine your needs.
September 1, 2022 @ 4:19 am
Hey there. Awesome list, Thank you so much for taking the time to make this for the community. Just wanted to let you know that you put Silver Centurion (#20) under the Skill section.
September 5, 2022 @ 12:19 pm
Why is knull in science class?
January 8, 2023 @ 3:40 pm
Haha. Sum yalls intelligence is showing. This is NOT a tier list, not a good-better-best list, this emember preschool? Learning a-b-c alphabetical order anyone? This is a WHO Benefits from WHO should I AWAKEN(GEM) list.
It’s literally in the title, no it is the title
April 20, 2023 @ 8:18 pm
You have silver centurion listed under skill attackers fyi
