AI against Ghost (without Wasp synergy)

Amadeo01

Has anyone else noticed a change in the AI behavior when playing ghost without the wasp synergy? Before it was quite reliable to pause or hold block and then phase-S2 once they make a move to attack you but the past while it seems like they are increasingly likely to dash back or just throw up a block instead. Anyone else notice this? I found this to be especially prevalent in the later zones of sector 6/7 incursions.

Don't use her without wasp I have never found it worth it

Amadeo01

I've been doing it for quite a long time. Ever since act 6 first got introduced. Just noticing it to be more of an issue now. Thus why I'm wondering if the AI has been adjusted.

Managed to duel a R3 6* annihilus with my 3* today so I dunno

I haven’t noticed this at all and I use Ghost fairly regularly and since I don’t have a five or six star Wasp, I can definitely say I haven’t noticed it in Act 6

Amadeo01

Yea I did all of act 6 and many many war seasons without relying on the synergy as well. I'm not a new ghost player by any means. Maybe it's just in incursions that I'm noticing it more in those later zones... Don't know.

Yup that certainly works. I just never had to do that before. That and it's dependent on them not being stun immune.

I use her without wasp as well, i just hesitate and pause for a bit before throwing specials off, I’ll comment back if i notice a change

Yea that's what I've always been doing. Still works a lot of the time. But you never notice them sometimes just backing off or blocking instead of attacking into you when you do that pause?

Can you describe in more detail your strat for using the sp2 without wasp (and without parry)?

After you hit them, just take a small pause and stand still and they usually will try to hit you, so you can quickly swipe back and S2 so it intercepts their attack. I'm just noticing at least in incursions, instead of attacking, they end up backing up instead so then the S2 misses.

I only use her without the synergy. I hate bringing champs I don’t like using.

I haven’t noticed anything different.

Have you tried in incursions?

I’ve not noticed a difference in the game as a whole, not tried incursions Though

Never used her in incursions so can't speak on those but nothing different anywhere else from what I can tell

Try doing the scared ghost method. Just hold block in place (most preferably on the corner left) then time the moment your oppo will dash forward and quickly dash backward and sp

Yea if the AI continues to back away, I'm going to try different methods, that being one of them but that way requires you to let the dex wear off first.

I always do this, as I don't have a higher level wasp and I learned ghost without wasp. It's been fine for me
