I have both Hyperion and silver surfer at rank 5, but with surfer all I need are intercepts and a good knowledge of his rotation and you're good. However, with Hyperion you need to spam heavies. Those heavies come at a price of blocking and getting your health chipped down a bit, but when you get 10 furies the fight is done pretty much in 2 specials.1. Some fights parries are not reliable or the opponent crits through your block. 2. Surfer is good against iceman on buffed up and can even take on torch (don't use Special 1's) 3. Also Surfers vigilance to counter miss.4. I'm mostly free to play, so I like to play it without taking avoidable damage.

Reparry or build to sp2 for stun and heavies2. Hype can take them both down. Just heavy spam then sp23. Miss is not a major thing to counter. Just wait it out with hype.4. Hype has an awesome regen that is super easy to access.Time for my Hyperion list of benefits.1. Hyperion has power gain, which counters a lot of nodes.2. He has a lot of health. Super tanky.3. Sustainable. He has a regen that heals like 50% of his health.4. He gains furies way faster than any other cosmic by a lot.
