Who’s a good counter for blade in this month cav eq? And also the dev who decided on life cycle, flux dispersal, and unblockable specials please take 2 weeks off then quit.

Wow wth are they thinking 🤦‍♂️

I used Guardian on my first run through the quest. At the start of the fight just parry-heavy a bunch of times to delay the life cycle timer, then just stick to spamming sp1. Apoc should work well since it's power shield and he can do loads of damage on his sp1. The most important part is to manage your power so that he doesn't get to his sp2 cause it's unblockable

Unless I'm missing something, parry heavy with Warlock until he's almost KO, making sure you save your SP3 until life cycle is down before knocking him down with one more heavy and launching it

Power switches based on who has the most power and blade once he has a bar of power basically shrugs off parry

Ghost, Prof X. You need someone who will spam specials and can do heavys. I assume doom would work well also.

Honestly i am struggling on cosmic map and i think i will skip this month quest. I want to enjoy content not be frustrated and have my skills throw out the window.

White Mags prefight the way to go then I think. Haven't done the fight, but that's a way to avoid the parry situation

Just do lot's of hits and back off if you don't get vigilance after ten... And once you do get vigilance, you want to make sure to hit into block because that will build furies as well.

Archangel works on Blade.

I just fought Blade on Cavalier. AA melted him

CGR works really good. But I agree I’m already annoyed with this months eq after being annoyed by last months and will probably just not waste my time or resources on it. I want to play for enjoyment not frustration

I used Doom. The power switching thing messed me up a few times, but sp1 when he has 2 bars of power into sp2 worked fine, plus you can throw heavies pretty easily as long as you make sure not to do the full 5 combo so the shock doesn’t expire.

Also his specials are unblockable so it’s easy to do a heavy then sp1

Deacon

I VOIDED him

Wouldn’t Mojo work? Passive DoT ftw?

Doesn't CGR proc danger sense?

Anyways, I'll probably just use Warlock's sig and Wagneto. Or Ibom, HB, Doctopus, Torch, CW, Quake, etc. Main thing is to keep your power low, his power below, and use somebody who can heavy spam -- and, ideally, heal block.

This is probably the worst combination of nodes and AI I’ve seen since the Darkhawk EQ fight

Ya this is sh*t boss fight

danielmath

warlock turns it off completely, 4* would be fine

Aleor

Power gain champs are the best. Hyperion, aarkus. Just be sure to be below 2 bars when power shifts proc. Torch with nova active should also work great (I got easy solo with Hype, can't guarantee that)

Reference

1st time run I used doom, heavy then fire sp.

CyborgNinja135

Tbh this fight feels like the spidey fight last month. The solution is not very obvious at first, but when you figure it out you realize any champion can work. I really like these type of fights

RIBKAZZ

The person who designed these nodes should be fired. Never gonna spend any money on this game now. Nodes become worse and worse over time.

BuggyDClown

You can do with it any champ
Mags with ST/magik
G2099
HB
HTD
Or
Civil warrior (I have not tried him yet but his kit seems perfectly fine for this fight)

SandPounder

Champs with multi-hit heavies aren’t the best to use, but yes any champ can do it… but it still sucks between the AI and the node combination

Ended up using Hyperion to take a big chunk off of him then doing the final 10% with AA.

However, I think the Power Shield is broken as the specials sure were not +400%

Probadly bc flux dispersal.

Pulyaman

This was one of the more annoying fights. Warlock consumes his infections when firing sp1 and his sp1 has so many hits, so Blade will always heal up when you try to kill him with sp1. You are forced to fire sp1 because even when I was holding block, blade fires his special when the timer is just about to expire, so power gets switched right after his sp1. Had to mow him down with guardian in the end.

slacker

How funny i don't find life cycle, flux dispersal much problem, the most annoy part is that damn Power switches node, it's ruin my smooth like you almost get a sp then suddenly you lost power and blade gain more, even might end up a sp2, also he shurgs off debuffs faster and it's make launch bigger sp like sp2, 3 harder (unless Hyperion,...) Oh yeah, his AI so passive you might end up don't have a chance to use sp before the timer out.

Sceptilemaniac

I think even a 4 star guilly 2099 would do just fine. She bypasses the power shield node so it makes for a pretty easy fight. Even if you mess up a bit, her sp1 has power drain.
I would say however, this is quite an annoying fight.
