**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event
**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

    his specials are stupidly hard to evade.

    just quake it, have some revives saved up and bring around 300-500 units. Worked for me.

    His Sp2 is possible, but it's insanely hard. As for the sp1, no.

    I think Swedeah did it with Nightcrawler. Sp1 and Sp2

    Yes, they can be evaded but it's very difficult. If you're not perfect then you take huge damage plus bane transfers over to you. I think I've done it once in all my attempts, but there are youtubers who have shi n it can be done consistently if you can get the timing down.

    Using quake will avoid his specials (mostly - til the end anyway). Starky or other auto evade champ's (og daredevil with max sig) can be useful for evading them since they are projectiles.

    Otherwise, use burst damag champ's to whittle him down as quick as possible before he had a chance to throw specials. Hold block to push him to l2 or l3 so you get as much damage in per revive as possible if you're gonna eat specials and die anyway.

    I used 4* OG hulk long ago and would just revive with l1 revives (without healing since he hits harder with low health when duped), smash, hope to get to an l1 and hope to stun chain for as long as possible if getting good fury RNG. Wasn't terrible, but did need to use a chunk of L1s in my stash.

    Yeah certain champs like og DD, spidergwen, and night crawler can get around his specials

    And to answer your question about parry... Any champ can parry him, but he has tenacity that will shrug them off at times and he goes unstoppable a lot towards the end too. The worst thing about him is the specials if he keeps throwing L1s and you get clipped by them its pretty much lights out. The specials you let him throw, unless you can evade them consistently, the better.

    I think I've soloed this fight with a rank 4 5*/4* Archangel before
  • RaviDaviRaviDavi Posts: 800 ★★★
    Yep for many champs except Ghost and Quake: bait heavies by blocking in front of him and try not to push him over a bar of power as long as you don't have a bar of power yet; back off right before and start a fresh new 5 combo then hit your special
    As long as his HP is above 55% block his specials, you can get more damage in,
    when his HP drops below 55% his specials are unblockable.
