5.1.6 Mordo

I cruised through act 5 until getting to Mordo on 5.1.6. I took this path because of its length and it’s said to be the easiest, but this guy completely destroyed me over and over. Any tips? I know how he fights, but I just can’t seem to take him out. I’m running Havok, Nick Fury, Hyperion, Hulk, and CAIW.

Havok's medium should be able to bypass astral evade right? I might be wrong though.

No it doesn’t work. But if Nick Fury has 5+ tactical charges he can’t be evaded. Only problem is he gains them from being hit. And 5 hits from Mordo T that level deal tons of damage.

You can also gain them from his SP1 - 4 charges per SP1, or 8 charges per SP1 if Fury is Furious is active

Oh yeah, that’s true too. I think I find it more challenging just to get hits on him with his constant blocking. I know I can break it with a heavy attack but he seems to time it so when I try he suddenly stops blocking and hits me. Mordo’s a jerk. 😡

Get nick fury into his second phase throw 2 sp1s then you ignore astral evade and are unblockable when when he goes defensive

I decided to just take a longer path. 15 opponents but was actually easier for me. Thanks for the tip. I’ve used it since.

if you still need to take down that mordo, or any other mordo: emma frost in telepath mode stops evade, and so does ghost with her crits, just remember to phase before parry. another way is using Cap IW: if you keep holding the block the enemy will more likely throw heavies, so you can bait heavies and punish them, abusing Cap's 60% chance to glance hits when charged and against mystics ^_^

finally, if you have a night thrasher use him, he's easily the best astral evade counter, just remember to not use light hits when mordo is stunned ^_^
