Is there a cheat sheet on how to fight Annihilus?

I feel like his unstoppable mechanic is OP and makes no sense, just appears on anything you do. What were they thinking when they introduced him...

There is a pattern to when his unstoppable happens. When annihilus does an obliterating strike, be it into your block or hitting you properly, you get an armor break and when you get an armor break you also get a stifle debuff. When you dash back while you have the stifle debuff, THEN he removes 1 stifle debuff and becomes unstoppable for awhile.

So there are a few ways you can play against annihilus on paper, of course most of them are easier said than done, i have problems with annihilus too sometimes.

1) Intercept him all the way if you are skilled enough.
2) if somehow you manage to stun him, spam dash back to get rid of all the stifles at once, by the time he comes off stun the unstoppables should have expired hopefully.
3) You can also spam dash back during his specials to get rid of stifles, the unstoppables should likewise expire by the time the special attack animation ends. You still have to properly dodge the actual special attack though.
4) Just use anti-unstoppable champs like she-hulk, spider-gwen, CAIW.
