Most underrated units?

[u/Alittledod]

I feel like there are some characters in OPTC that get so overlooked nowadays because of new units like Luffy/Ace, Judge and Lucy. I thought of Legend Magellan who(like in the manga/anime)is just kinda overlooked despite how cool he is(imo). Same for characters like g-5 Tashigi and 20th anniversary Nami. So it made me think. Are there any characters that you think desperately need more attention even in todays standards?

idk, i just think he is bad , like ppl tell beginners to start with him, and I was like what the f? Even gamewith stated it that he is not that good while global and non native japanese player rate him like s tier.

Because PH in GLB right now is probably the strongest class aside from Striker and has the most utility. You got Hody batch, Hody himself, boa sisters, you got 2x straight boosters like Raid Sanji and Raid Fuji, all F2P, and even some of the judge kids batch.

Look at v2 Boa. I'd call her underrated because in paper, she is damn amazing. 2.5 to 3.25 boost not RNG reliant (it is low now, especially post Luffy/Ace, but back when she was released, that was a pretty relevant boost), she also made TND/RCV beneficial and heals. Her special delays, gives hits which is good for hit barriers and she made type orbs beneficial for 2 turns. That's solid, but shooter has got the worst utility in game right now. Same with Ace as a captain.

That's not even saying how he is as a unit. His max multiplier is 4x, which is as high as the new legends, and he himself already gave so many utilities. Fully limit broken, he resist paralysis, probably the most annoying debuff there for a straight up wrecking team. His special is also pretty nice, coupled with Marigold, Fuji and Sanji, you already got 1.7s atk boost, 2x atk boost and 2 orb boost. A chain multiplier like Zeo gave you one more all matching orb turn and 2.5 multiplier and you're done.

A captain is as good as their subs, and with the overwhelming amount of time these good PH units are being boosted these last couple of sugos, of course you'd get recommendation for a captain that can utilize all of them well Unless you're overpowered to hell like v2 Akainu.

Ok, nice effort explaining though lol, didnt expect this. But I just want to say he is just not that good, compare to Lucy, Franky, Aokiji, Akainu, or any character along that line (that boost everybody or most units). He is good, just not that great, Gamewith gave him the tier and the score for a reason. People just overrate him too much, even saying that he is better than legend Franky which is a joke.

All those legends you mentioned were released after him though and 3 out of those 4 are arguable top 5 legends right now.

He's, like already said, biS for powerhouse teams in terms of raw damage output and he doesn't get crippled by using non boosted units like a lot of those other highdmg output captains like Doffy v2, Lucy, Franky. He might not be the most powerful captain, but he can clear a lot of different content. I think gamewith had a team for nearly all content that was released since his release until now. His main downside is barrier content, but in theory he can easily be paired with BB, nowadays not really recommended through the huge amount of dmgloss.

edit: i'm torn between suggesting him for beginner and not doing so. Mainly because i don't like recommending a taptiming captain for beginner. But his plus side (having access to all characters) is a huge plus as every new (utility) char a new player gets can have its usage in a Lucci team. Lucci has access (read: can use without crippling his damage) to Shirahoshi, RaidBarto, 6* Robin, v2 Ray and so on. Ofc the sub might end up not being boosted, but Lucci's first hits don't contribute that much to his damage.
