Anyone have a good apocalypse counter???

Mr_Bently

Dude is extremely op as the final AQ boss. You can’t block you cant dodge his specials. How in the world am I supposed to take him down???!!!!

Terra

Intercept skills, plus a Power Control maybe?

Thicco_Mode

I use caiw in map 5 and he works really well. My permanent aq team is caiw, cmm, and warlock. CMM for most people, CAIW for mystics and minis, and warlock for sec 3 when I inevitably lose the other two.

You can dex his specials. Check youtube and practice a bit

Wicket329

Guilly 2099 and Warlock are both extremely effective counters against him, able to get solos. I imagine Sentinel would be pretty good too

Greekhit

OG Vision and Ultron are good options 😉

Mr_Bently

Appreciate you guys

DRTO

@DorkLessons has a really good video showing how to take him down with tigra. Looks like it takes some time to learn but she seems like a great option.

TheLegionMaster

His SP1 and SP2 are really easy to dodge once you get the hang of it. Just practice!

Realm_Of_Rah

Nuke and Duke with Corvus has been my strategy. Probably gonna have to find a new solution when AW comes back and I turn off suicides

High sig (although sig not necessary if you're skilled enough) Guardian is a fantastic option! That sick block prof paired with his insane energy resistance makes sure you're taking barely any damage from apocalypse's specials. If you practice enough, you can parry the beams for the perfect block. He easily outdamages vigor as well. Depending on the mod, it seems it's smarter to use SP 3's for the force field charges and throwing a meaty SP 2 for the finish, compared to alternating between SP 1 and 2 which temporarily removes his armor buff and the resistances.

I’ve done well with a ramped up Cap Marvel Movie

Thanks! You just helped me decide my next rankup.

To add, I've found that you can actually alternate between SP 1 and 2. By the time you want to throw the SP 2 and you feel it might not kill apocalypse, you can counter apocalypse heavy with yours for the temporary armor buff, and then throw the special. The temporary armor will be consumed instead of the permanent armor, and you can safely follow the other steps I stated continually.

This is also a strategy for countering Havok.

Awesome, bro! Hope you got awakening gem and a good amount of sigs 😌

SidDDragon

Another awesome option is sorcerer supreme...I use her for map 6 apoc...she can’t get the solo in 3 minutes cuz both she and apoc have long specials but her regen on block and sp1 nullify come in extremely handy in the fight as u can block his entire special and regen back all the health and can nullify vigor regen with her sp1

ThatGuyYouSaw235

Tigra, you can avoid the last few hits of the sp1.

Sw0rdMaster

I've seen this awesome video.

KDSuperFlash10

Punisher 2099 is an insane Apocalypse counter cuz of the -90% power rate reduction.

this thread is really helpful, merry xmas to all of you

Tigra destoys him if you know how to play her,
Look up digity Dave's takedown of apocalypse with her and there is another youtube video called how to play tigra like a god find that too.

Barani7da

If u take tigra she can help to miss the sp's.
While his range sp attacks u charge a heavy while the range attack is going to hit you,she can make miss the range attack,
You can see dork lesson YouTube channel he showed in some of the videos the miss of range sp's attack

Burrito2525

Just tried put guardian and he was pretty awesome. I just parry’d his sp projectiles.

Berjibs

I’m gonna throw voodoo in as an option. Lock even combo sp2 on him to powerburn then poison him. Also like HB.

His sp1 is not too bad to evade it’s just a really weird, early timing like an even more “off” korg or punisher dex.

Corvus is also a good option. Use up all the charges and then quit. I couldn't solo though.
