Unintended (?) #Metal interaction with Terrax

Colonaut123

This is a quick question to Kabam: did they take into account the interaction with Terrax when they changed the Metal tags?

One of my top counters to Terrax is Hulk Ragnarok. He activates Face Me during the Rock Field and he has some power control with the SP2.

At least, he used to have that last part. With him having the Metal tag, Terrax becomes immune to his Enervate debuff. That's quite the nerf.

Coincidentally, by removing the Metal tag from Gwenpool, her SP2 Enervate can be used on Terrax (if anyone would use her in this bleed immune match-up).

I'm not a crybaby for compensation, but Terrax was one of the match-ups I ranked-up my 5* Hulk Ragnarok for. So I really would like to know if this is intentional.

Doesn't really matter. Ghulk is a great counter to Terrax because of his Face Me, not because of his Enervate. He'll still work at 95% efficiency as before.

It does matter. I would argue he dropped to 70% effiency because he will lose his power control.

No one uses hulk for his power control. FaceMe is his major use. The second is his regen and fury when you or the opponent falls below 20%.

He’s still a very effective counter to terrax.

wait wouldn't you want him to go in that faze cause you gain more damage from face me. he doesn't drop 70 % in efficiency cause he does more damage

That's not the issue. Due to Terrax ability to be immune to power manipulation caused by #metal champions, Ghulk will now not be able to proc the enervate debuff on him

i know but without enervate terrax gains more power and activates specials more

But like people have said, why would you want to control his power if you're using Gulk? The whole point of using him would be being in face me. Other wise you'd just use an actual good power control champ and just wait out the initial field.

Do you find yourself facing so many tough Terrax fights that you would rank a champ to counter?

Yeah. I just use Hyperion and spam L1 to get him out of my face if I’m getting backed up.

I said dropped to 70%, not dropped by 70%.

You can be certain he is in every monthly quest and becoming more regular in side-quests. So yeah, you better have a counter.
