How to Use Apoc?

Hi. Apoc is a really fun champ and one of my top 3 champs by PI. I recently mastered the MLLLM combo and tried using that strat with him... It was decently effective, not too great for me tho. Maybe just because I am bad... How do you use a 4* Apoc (unawakened) or at least I can practice with my awakened 3*. Does he require high sigs or awakening? I also have only one synergy which I am not even using which is the synergy with storm (I have an unawakened 4*). Please help me, any tips are appreciated...

    He doesn’t need awakening.

    You get the best out of him by keeping his debuffs up on the opponent.

    End a combo with a light attack and launch SP1 to apply weakness (or medium to apply poison). Both will apply if he has max charges.

    Similarly, SP2 will apply concussion, degeneration, or both.

    The debuffs will run out unless you refresh them with a heavy attack.

    Lunching an SP3 will make the debuffs permanent.

    Ideally you want to aim to have all four debuffs on the opponent by cycling through the SP’s whilst refreshing with heavies.

    Thanks, can you explain his charges mechanic?

    He starts with 1 charge (or 3 versus a mutant) and gains a charge every time he defeats a non-tech champ up to a maximum of 4.

    The more charges he has, the more powerful his SP’s are.

    3 charges make him stun immune.

    4 charges allow him to stun opponents with a light attack (once every 12 seconds).

    This is handy for creating an opening to apply a heavy attack and refresh the debuffs.

    4 charges also allow him to apply both debuffs associated with his SP1/SP2.

    Once you’ve collected 4 charges you have the option of spending them before the next fight to create a horseman.

    Thanks! Thanks to you, I am finally using apoc effectively! I now learnt the logic of those charges, they look like prowess if I am not wrong.... I start with LLLL combo or MLLLL Combo. Then I continue doing MLLLL Combo and then once I have SP1 I use it to apply weakness and poison and do crazy damage. If I get attacked or countered I get SP2 and Then Farm SP1 to put loads of debuffs. I usually then go to spamming SP1 or Use SP3 and Spam SP1. I don't have the horseman synergy for apoco... Should I use storm for that synergy tho?

    Storm's synergy with Apocalypse seems to be En Sabah Nur

    I need even more help now... My Apoc is no longer generating the charges... I am now only gonna use apoco against mutants and skill so I might need another good 5* to replace ultron... If it's bad, i'll continue using sorcerer or ultron

    To be honest I’ve not used the horseman pre-fight ability much as I like to keep the charges for apocalypse.

    As for him no longer generating charges, might you have been fighting tech champs at the time?
