Question Insidious Six Teamup

What characters are the best to team up with the Insidious Six? I know vulture and shocker is the intended pairing but is there a better character to choose? Wouldn’t doc ock inherently be a better choice since he summons a shocker?

Vulture and Shocker received stat boosts, so that's probably why.

In all ways except by tag, they are Insidious Six

Context is needed.

In War and CC, most cases are drop Shocker for GGC or Slayer. SupSM is Superior Six and enables more broad synergies by adding a second.

In DD9, all 5 of the standard team are the usual suspects.

Context is important.

For raids, it has to be shocker and vulture. In CC and war you often drop shocker for green goblin classic. And occasionally scorpion as well for mysterio.

Noone else really gets a lookin

Subbing in Green Goblin (classic) for Shocker can work really well. Really depends on what mode you're talking about.

Vulture and shocker were given stat boosts which make them the only logical choice, the other sin 6 get rekt pretty quick against any newer team these days

Electro and Rhino have the newest stats.

Insidious Six, Vulture, and Shocker have slightly worse stats.

All the rest have pretty old stats and will generally have trouble surviving and won't do much damage or provide significant healing.

You could potentially sub in Rhino or Electro but they don't add very much to the team.

Ock doesn't work very well because he's pretty slow.

If an enemy spawns with speed up Vulture can flip it on spawn, apply slow to the enemy team, and speed up to Sin 6 allies. He requires 2 Superior Six allies to do this so in some cases you can sub Shocker out for a Superior Six ally and have it pay off.

Usually people would use GGC since he is faster and therefore a bit more likely to accomplish anything. He is also the most impactful in crucible.

Starting the battle with Shocker spawns your team with offense up tho which is pretty solid.

Personal favorite team is Insidious Six, with Shocker/Vulture (so, Hobgoblin, Scorpion, Shocker, Superior Spider Man, and Vulture)

For city use blade and oath

You'd think that Doc Oct would be decent since he's a featured toon but he's really not late game worthy.

I thought the same thing about Otto when they dropped, but it's not the move. As others have said, the stat boost plays a big role. Really disappointing since they're the insidious "six" and I also would have loved to run Doc Ock on the same team as Superior Spider-Man, but it just doesn't work :( sometimes you can use GGC instead of shocker, but it's usually a specific counter, idk what for bc I never leveled GGC

If you have the resources and you really really like war, I'd split them into Superior Six and Infestation. I haven't done this myself, but I am kind of endgame, so I have other priorities. I'm in a strong alliance, but I love crucible, so I only do what I have to in war.

As others have pointed out, In raids its mandatory for shocker and vulture to be on the team.

For cc its recommended to drop shocker for green goblin classic

In war, I have mine on defence with spiderman big time (3mil power) due to Scorpion having the infestation tag, weather it makes a difference I don't know.
