    Use incinerate-immune champs, or Guardian / Ultron at very high (ideally max) signature. Otherwise, you will have to keep away after he fires his SP1 until the incinerates can't hurt you.

    Usually my method is to not let him throw a sp1, it's literally impossible to dodge and creates the incinerate aura thingy as well. Sp2 is more manageable, good to learn the timing of how to dodge that when it's fully unblockable.

    The two best counters I'd say are Ghost and War Machine. Ghost just phase the sp1 and convert Incinerate into Fury. War Machine's sp1 can remove Prowess preventing him from going above 10. Any tech champ gives him less prowess so they are generally better. Guardian can block unblockable specials from mutants and has sky high energy resistance so he can be decent. Howard with his synergy can steal the Opponent's prowess. Peni since she's Incinerate immune. Nimrod will probably be nuts for Bishop after he gets released as he also has the Prowess-removing ability. Both Peni and Nimrod are very rare as of now though, so there are really only these 4 hard counters I can think of.

    I've found that new Bishop on any annoying node can easily become a nightmare.

    I kinda knew how he worked, then yesterday u volunteered to take him as boss for t2/p2.

    Ghost took 29 hits so i think she works fairly well 🤷‍♂️

    I've been finding Surfer works really well.

    Any suggestions for the mutant skill restricted bishop in V1.1.1 ?

    Colossus. I didn't check the nodes it just seems that Colossus seems like a safe option.

    I honestly find his fully unblockable sp1 more annoying than the incinerates. Usually I just antibait and make him dump sp2s instead, effectively avoiding everything annoying with new Bishop.

    Red Hulk best counter for him.
    His extra damage is physical based so it doesn't give him prowess.
    You're free to just block Bishop's sp1 and punish him because Rulk is incinerate immune as well.
