@Primmer79 thanks bro. Appreciate the insight. In all honesty, I didn't give Despair and DV much a thought until you brought it up. Good idea and recommendation.
@CapWW2 I don't doubt your ability at in-game but I have serious reservations about your Thor suggestion for 5.2.4 center path. Again no disrespect to you as you may well have completed 5.2 using Thor. What I question is Thor's suitability for 5.2.4. Thor's AB is capped at 2x. Max damage even at role reversal surely cannot go beyond 10k over 5 combos, and that's even assuming you manage to squeeze 2x AB+5 combos before buffet kicks in every 7sec cycle. Not to mention also that's assuming you kept Magik in check at power bar 1 to refrain her from going into Limbo. In summary I just don't see how Thor can be the go-to champ versus Magik or DS at 5.2.4 no matter how aggressive you play Thor. Further to your other suggestions, I did use GP and OR Vision/Vision AOU versus Magik and there is no way these champs are remotely suitable to counter buffet.
What I'm keen to understand further is Archangel's Neurotoxin effectiveness versus Buffet when it triggers.

My friend I dont even read nodes. My team was Thor BW Hulk SW HE. My thor is level 99 meaning 6000 armor break. I stun chain everyone to death with Thor spamming sp1. It requires skill. To start the combo i waited until i was at sp2. The only placed i used revives was in the outer path due to bleed when dashing back which i overpowered too with thor although i had to use units for that. Trust me Thor is the beast of the whole 5.2 except The collector.
@Primmer79
That's what I thought too. I basically slammed Magik with 50+combos initially, stacked bleed and just let buffet heal her up in the beginning. Hereafter, I basically spammed sp2 only. But the buffet debuff didn't stop. It keeps taking away bleed and enervate. After 90+ combos, Magik was at almost full health still. I let Illyana ripped me with two sp3 before deciding to abort the fight.
The stranger thing was I somewhat recalled reading Gwenpool passive sig did say that Gwenpool reduces 2% defensive ability accuracy per combo count previously (hence the origin of 50 combos). But since 13.0, I can't seem to find discussions related to it, not at Spotlight or even archives (perhaps I may missed it). Even Gwenpool's sig description only states that she reduces defensive ability accuracy based on her current combo count. So that begets my question: what is the definition of 'current combo count'? It could well mean 100 or 200 combos for all it's worth, if the reduction % was not defined anywhere in her sig description.

Black Amun (now Vegan Ankh) had posted a vid of taking down that Magik with AA but I can't find it now (maybe he deleted it?). You can try asking him
Also, GP reduces ability accuracy by 2% per hit on combo meter. It was confirmed by Miike in the old forum. The ability is similar to SL i.e.if you lose your combo, you lose the ability accuracy reduction as well

I can actually answer that. A friend of mine played against Magik with thor. His combo hits were only to get as many parries he could on Magik for Armor break. He was really dealing damage with S3 of thor. You just need to bait and stay alive to get 3-5 S3s on Magik. ( All numbers are subject to Rank and level of your Thor. Read all related statistics of the champ carefully)
