Not going to lie, my AW BG has a difficult time getting past Korg in AW when the opponent placed him on the spots leading from area 1 to area 2. Who are the best champs to take him down?
Doom crushes on Mix Master. Your Sp1 is Unblockable so always gets rid of the prowess, and also does some power control. And if you reach Sp2, you're doing a lot of damage through Incinerate as well. He crushes on most nodes as far as I know.
The main technique is getting around mixmaster. You have to stick to ML combos. ML, backoff parry, repeat. If he shrugs off the parry, bait heavies, ML, parry repeat. Throw specials that remove his rock stacks, so you can reliably parry him. I personally use Doom for him on that node, and while it is a long fight, i have always soloed him there.
Omega red is good but not as good as Sorcerer Supreme.
SS can counter the evade from the mixmaster node and the unstoppable, the 2 things that make him very annoying.
I’m something like 14/14 on solos there with omega, only one where I’ve lost more than 25%, the fight is a complete joke for him, it’s over I’m under a minute, sorcerer takes longer which means more room for error, and he can still shrug off the slow, maybe for someone who can’t evade his sp1 she’s better because of the regen, but for me I can’t think of any node where I’d take someone over omega for korg
Yeah you make good points, but if you end up in a corner with the unstoppable and unblockable active on korg you better start praying to the kabam gods.
With SS if you get backed into a corner and the slow is on you don't have to worry about that.
I'm always taking my rank 3 5 star SS over my 6 star OR
If it's not on Mix Master, then light intercepts followed by 2 light hits will take his rock shield off easily so that you can unleash some massive sp2s
