Absurd Interaction in Variant 7

Hey all, wanted to point out a seemingly near impossible fight that I noticed while exploring variant 7. In quest 2.2, there is a Mephisto with arc overload and tech wrath and overclocked. After looking over possible counters that exist in the game, I could only come up with two. And in both situations the fight is near impossible without a lot units. First, night thrasher could be used with 50% damage reduction and a ridiculous amount of special 1/2 dexes. This method mainly relies on RNG and the only way I was able to get it down was with multiple attempts and many revives. The other option is blade whose damage is also reduced by 50% and is completely RNG dependant. There is only a 40% reduction rate so the odds are that you will be taking tons of aura damage and he will mirk you with a special 3. Other than those two I don’t believe there are any other champs that are incinerate immune or could work against the fight in any decent way that are tech or skill and heroes. I would appreciate any feedback from Kabam or other players who may have been affected by this.

Really, it’s not ideal, but if you play well against him, you don’t need an incinerate immune champ. I rarely have one when I fight him. When he came out, there weren’t many incinerate/incinerate immune champs except for like Iceman, so you just had to suck it up most of the time. There are ways to do it if you play well enough and have a high enough ranked champ, though it’s not like an easy fight by any means.
It’s just a matter of avoiding his aura.
There’s one in v3 with double powergain or/and spite or similar, way worse than this one, where the best option is doc ock.
If you’re taking anything other than minimal aura damage you’re not playing the fight properly.
