About Apocalypse
Thousands of years ago in ancient Aqaba, the first living being on Earth to express the mutant X-gene was born, given the name "En Sabah Nur" or "The First One". As he traveled the Earth, En Sabah Nur deemed himself “Apocalypse” convincing ancient civilizations that he was a deity and manipulating them into fighting wars which he justified as stimulating growth, judgment, and destruction. After conquesting the Earth for many millennia Apocalypse used Celestial technology to enter a period of suspended animation for many centuries, awakening in the current age and deciding the Earth is ready for further examination.
Apocalypse’s Mechanics
Apocalypse is all about ramping up to empower himself or his fellow Mutants, he does this by simply winning fights which will grant him Genetic Code. Apocalypse can choose to keep his Genetic Code for himself to boost his own abilities or spend them in the Pre-Fight screen to empower any Mutant teammate! In combat, Apocalypse is all about big Special Attacks! Special Attacks 1 and 2 will trigger a Debuff based on the last attack landed, these Debuffs can be converted into enhanced versions with the Special 3! Finally, if Apocalypse’s signature Ability is unlocked, whenever he doesn’t participate in a fight he enters a deep slumber, allowing him to Regenerate health based on how many fights his team wins while he slumbers!
BASE STATS & ABILITIES
| Health | Attack | PI (Max Signature) | |
| 3-Star | 7457 | 454 | 1908 |
| 4-Star | 18701 | 1137 | 4800 |
| 5-Star | 37495 | 2279 | 10650 |
| 6-Star (Rank 3, Level 45) | 48314 | 2936 | 13690 |
Character Class: Mutant
Basic Abilities:
Bleed, Weakness, Poison, Concussion, Degeneration
STRENGTHS:
- Prevent Purify Abilities
- Apocalypse reduces the Opponent’s Purify Ability Accuracy by 100%, so in most matchups against difficult Purify Champions/nodes such as Kingpin, Korg or Mole Man, the Opponent will not be able to Purify Debuffs.
- Fighting Mutant Opponents
- When Fighting Mutants, Apocalypse’s Special Attacks will be more impactful and allow him to ramp up his Genetic Code much faster.
- Prevent Evade
- As the Opponent evades, Apocalypse increases his chance to bypass Evade by 10% for the rest of the quest. This makes him a great option when fighting Evade Opponents.
- Significantly enhance any Mutant
- Using his Ability, Horseman of Apocalypse, Apocalypse can boost your favorite Mutant to some pretty crazy levels! However it does require some ramp up time.
- Robots
- Apocalypse needs Genetic Code to power himself up, Robots will grant no Genetic Code.
- Stun Immune / Block Penetration
- Apocalypse needs to land a decent amount of Heavy Attacks while he balances his Debuffs before locking them in with a Special 3. Stun- immune matchups will significantly reduce his effectiveness and Opponents who deal damage through Blocks will chip him out fast.
- Poison, Degeneration or Debuff Immune
- Apocalypse needs to place a lot of Debuffs to be effective, Opponents who are immune to his Debuffs will render him ineffective.
- Ramp Time
- Unless Apocalypse fights a Mutant, it can take quite a few fights before he builds up all his Genetic Code, this can make his first fight or 2 more difficult.
ABILITIES:
The following Stats and Abilities are based on a Rank 5, Level 65, 5-Star Champion
Genetic Enhancement - Max Stacks 4
- Start each quest with 1 Persistent Genetic Code. This becomes 2 if Defending, and 3 if Defending a final boss node.
- Knocking out a non-#Robot Opponent grants 1 Genetic Code.
- Gain 2 Genetic Code at the start of the fight when fighting a Mutant.
- At the start of the fight gain 1 indefinite Passive Prowess for each Genetic Code, each increasing Special Attack Damage by 40%.
- At 3+ Genetic Code, become Stun-immune while striking.
- At 4+ Genetic Code, striking the Opponent’s Block with Light Attack inflicts a Stun Debuff for 0.8 seconds. Cooldown 12 seconds. This has no effect against Well-Timed Blocks.
Additionally, Apocalypse’s ability to Stun into Blocks is great in situations where the Opponent is playing hard to get, giving him an instant combo opener.
Total Molecular Control
- Develop immunity to Bleed, Incinerate and Disorient effects over 8 seconds while suffering from them. Once developed, these immunities persist for the entire quest.
- Each time the Opponent Evades, gain +10% chance to bypass Evade. This is not affected by Ability Accuracy reduction and the chance to bypass Evade persists throughout the quest.
- Opponents suffer 100% Purify Ability Accuracy reduction.
Heavy Attacks
- Both hits inflict Bleed dealing 797.65 Direct Damage over 7 seconds.
- Refresh personal Weakness, Poison, Concussion and Degeneration effects on the Opponent.
- If the Opponent is suffering from a Damage Over Time effect, Special Attack Debuffs trigger on activation and last 30% longer.
- Each hit deals a burst of 615.33 Physical Damage for each personal Weakness, Poison, Concussion or Degeneration on the Opponent.
Special 1:

Special 2:

Special 3:

Horseman of Apocalypse - Pre-Fight and Cross-Fight
|
- When Apocalypse doesn’t participate in a fight he enters his Rejuvenation Chamber to slumber. At the start of his next fight, he Regenerates 3749.5 health for each fight his teammates won while he slumbered. This can stack up to 2 times.

RECOMMENDED MASTERIES
Inequity
- Apocalypse can apply 4 indefinite Debuffs on his opponent allowing him to synergise nicely with the reduction to the opponent's Attack Rating granted from this Mastery. This can also stack with his personal Weakness to significantly lower the Opponent’s damage output.
Recovery
- The regeneration potency increase offered in this Mastery works very well when paired with Apocalypse’s ability to Slumber between fights.
Double Edge
- Although Apocalypse will take some bleed damage initially, he will quickly develop full immunity to Bleed for the rest of the quest, allowing him to benefit from the Attack Rating bonus without suffering the Bleed.

This needs to be nerfed down, maybe just keep the 2 charges for being a defender and removing the 3 charges for being the final boss, that way we have more opportunities to kill apocalypse before the hell begins.
Really awesome design on this one y’all.
@Kabam Miike Would you guys happen to know which new champ is going to be included in the next 5* feature crystal?
The Only Thing I wish they added to Apocalypse was a Synergy with Hulk Classic and Sentry, that allows them to ignore the "Only Mutants can be a Horsemen" line and give them a Unique Boost like the others.
Like War Horsemen Hulk could gain the Ability to flat out Ignore Unstoppable Effects (when Hulk was a Horsemen he was able to Stop the Juggernaut, which I believe is the only time a Non-Mystical/Non-Reality Warping Character has ever Stopped the Juggernaut once he started moving), then also give him a Permanent 10% Prowess Passive Each Time he activates a Fury up to 15 Charges.
For Death Seed Sentry idk maybe remove his Persistent Charge Requirement or something, give him access to all his Phases? (I don't play Sentry sorry)
Then they'd obviously gain the Base Abilities like 100% Bleed Resist (making Hulk effectively a double Immunities Character), the Increased offensive Ability Accuracy, ect.
So the featured after next unfortunately I think
