An eXtra helpful Mordo tip

The bane of a lot of people MORDO! The only real counter has been Drax… until now
Something interesting I found out while perusing the forums earlier was that X23's heavy attack isn't affected by Astral evade

Not affected by the Astral-Degen
Just standing there watching the rest of the easily avoidable second half of the special charges up
And impact!
Well very few people actually talk about it and they instinctively go to Drax for a counter
I figured I'd spread awareness that Mordo has an additional counter
U mean u spread awareness so kabam would notice and nerf it >_<
Actually I've found Elektra can't due to ability reduction specifically not working due to his AAR-immunity (similar to Archangel)
No he has 1 hit than a multi hit after stalling which would be long enough for the EA to activate triggering degen
I believe it is X23 specifically but I will conduct further testing
Elektra: 50/50 chance her heavy attack will ignore Astral evade blast and keep on going as if nothing happened
X23: the second strike of her Heavy seems every so slightly faster making her 2nd strike interact and intercept the A-Evade blast
Agent Venom: 50/50 as his halving of all Evade means the 100% becomes a 50% chance that Mordo evades
Spinny kickers… NOPE!
Spider Gwen… well she herself doesn't take damage in either stance but she doesn't actually hit him in either stance so moot point
Drax: you know the drill…
#1 Drax
#2 X23
#3 Agent Venom
#4 Elektra
Distant #5 Spider Gwen
Ever heard of karnak?
#1 Drax
#2 Karnak
#3 Cable
#4 X23
#5 Elektra
And so on
Um kinda
Karnak is a stunted variant who often has trouble keeping up with normal Evade champs let alone a defensive style
And poor Cable's concussion is AAR not Evade Reduction meaning it doesn't affect Mordo
#1 Drax
#2 X23
#3 Karnak
#4 AGENT VENOM
#5 Elektra
Cable… Eh true strike on L3 but triple the hassle for not even double the benefit but power gain… lets call him TBD maybe between AV and Elektra
Karnak requires the True Strike which isn't always up which is why I bump him below X23 who can ALWAYS use that heavy
See Elektra is AAR as well which Mordo is protected against and her Heavy is like 50/50 it works… she makes the list below AV for 2 reasons
1) He has Evade halving on all his attacks. Meanwhile Elektra cannot rely on her normal attacks at all meaning she'd have to use heavy attack and not slip up and accidentally use a normal attack that has ZERO chance to avoid the Astral Evade as only her heavies share the 50%
2) Tenacity shrugs the Degen off… on reality it's only a 50% he fails, and a 50% that Degen sticks. 50% of 50% is 25% so…
Worked, just wanted to make
Sure the noobs reading this also realise that you can attack him while stunned with any special attack as well
Also don't forget icey man!
Even iceman..with coldsnap
Karnak's heavy is a fast One-two strike that hits Mordo through evade, similar to how Drax does it.
Elektra is iffier than X-23, but I have had issues with both missing the 2nd strike of their heavy; I think it depends more on how many pixels are between you and Mordy.
IMO the ABSOLUTE best strategy to fight mordo is to practice his timing. just watch the stun timer and attack just as it expires. (you can actually land a blow slightly before it expires and still be ok)
with practice, you can literally follow ANY parry/stun with a full combo...with ANY character.
for my mastery setup vs AI, I just pary/stun -> dash back -> charge in for combo.
obviously this changes win AW where folks have limbo, etc.
