It's true, OP, it becomes hell without an incinerate immune..Dont care what other people say.(Tried going against him with a 3/45 sparky, it's doable and I've done it but 3 stacks of incinerate and he's pretty much going to die.)
You only get incinerated if you’re using mystics or energy damage. Maybe bleed champs get killed too, depending on the node (can’t remember)
I luckily got Red Hulk and he did wonder against Human Torch. He is rank 3. I found Emma Frost and Void good too. The game is really dependent on specific champs not so much on skill. For example with average skill you still can beat Magik easily with Blade. Or in the last EQ I fought Nick Fury with Iceman and it’s a easy fight while I would had to spend many revives using other champs to take him down. You really need a deep roster and luck to compete in the game.
I haven't tested it, but doesn't Venom have the ability to eat incinerate debuffs?
HT is annoying defense even as of today.AQ map 5 mini boss HT with Bleed immunity is nightmare. Especially champs with Energy damage.Even my r3 NF sustains major health loss.
