If you're using ms instead of tanks on a stage, chances are, the enemies are going to have high dps that would shred your tanks. So sure, you can bring Babel, but he wouldn't do a whole lot.

Except I didn't say high dps is bad, you just seem to have trouble understanding what I meant. You said this: "7k DPS certainly isnt bad. especially when each hit is high damage per hit." And in response, I explained how short TBA is better than high dph. Nothing to do with dps, just how the damage is distributed. Unfortunately for you, babel's long animation and tba is bad, so it does matter.

Octo is gonna have a tough time sitting behind Babel when Babel outranges every wave blocker but pandora. Add to that the fact that both pigeons and berserkory outrange octo, and you might as well not bring Babel. Capy is a big deal.

Gammy is better because of better resist types, way less cost for rush stages, and much shorter tba/animation for that practical dps/holding back support enemies.

Onto jth

Babel won't be protecting any wave blockers when he outranges them, and like I said to Kasa, octo is outranged by those wave enemies. Tanks can be used in wave stages, roe works because he weakens berserkory, octo is a tank, and you also go with the ubercarry strat of wave immunes as your only attackers. Ofc if you go with that strat, Babel would still be a bad choice for a tank because he outranges a bunch of those wave immunes like lil valk/keiji.

Don't put words in my mouth, find the quote or stop claiming that. Babel has bad tba and animation, and his dps is nothing special for a tank, but it's not one of his downsides.

His hp is pretty phenomenal but not his dps, tanks usually have high dps (besides Gammy), and his isn't that level of good. His range isn't perfect, support that statement with reasoning or I won't address it. Speaking of immunities to counter Henry and croakley, lege is even better against those 2 than Babel, easily.

Lege won't outclass high tier rush units like abaha ofc, none of these 3 LRs are near that good. However, he's still good for rain d and rost like you said, almost any wave enemies, short range bosses like bores, and some rush stages, especially if they have cc like Henry.
