Week 3 right path (Rintrah, Sasquatch, Sabre) tips

I’m not even trying level 5 - I’m on level 4 and I can’t even get past the first two defenders without losing 100% of my champs.

Tips for defeating Rintrah and Sasquatch? They both throw so much BS in their kit, not to mention are acting so defensively they’re rarely throwing their specials and then get “Protected” again before I can do any real damage.

Do you have Torch or AA?

No Torch, 5* AA.

Play it slow, knock down Rintrah as much as you can to keep him from getting to 10 charges, watch for Sassy's unstoppable and don't take too many blocked hits. I struggled with both fights on level 4 for a while, but practice makes perfect and I eventually got them down consistently on level 5 with a 5* Ibom. Other people might have much better advice than me, but the few things I mentioned are the things I struggled with.

Use aa parry heavy

With Rintrah:

You need to control the middle of the screen, if you push him to a corner he will go unstoppable and if he pushes you to a corner he will root you. First parry then heavy to remove protection, pound away with your attacks and push to special 2 then start baiting. Typically, protection will return at that point. When he shoots special 2, you need to dex it. The timing is slow so make sure you practice his special 2 dex beforehand. Rinse and repeat. Throw specials when protection is removed. Its a slow and steady fight because of protection.

I did the fight with human torch and then elsa bloodstone on my second round.

With Sasquatch:

He is a bigger pain than Rintrah. You got to play him real slow because he stuns on his special 1 and does solid damage on special 2. I always dadh back after i finish my combos when he has a bar of power to give more time to react. I lost my team the first time against him but restarted and did well second time onwards.

Last suggestion would be choose your top team and start with threat level 3. The health is less, chip damage is less and you get accustomed to the fight.

I used CAIW against Rintrah, bait special 1.
For Sasquatch, I had HT (but since you do not, I still believe 🦂 should do well).

Nimrod toasts Sabretooth.

Seems you have a R4 herc; you can use him for both, although taking a dedicated sassy counter is sensible as you may want to save herc for mantis.

Herc against rintrah; parry heavy, use medium light dash back to infuriate, but don't bother using sp1, you're just going to backdraft to build up feats. Keep him away from the walls as mentioned above. Play slow, keep him in the middle. You can use sp2 or sp3 once you have enough feats built up, but you're likely to take some rupture damage. Bait sp1 exclusively; it helps stay in the middle of the screen.

Sassy, is a bit trickier, as he can back you into the corner, if he gets wrath, due to building power when he hits your block and then having unstoppable on specials. But as again with rintrah, parry, heavy, then build up feats by intercepting under infuriate. You can use sp1 and sp2 rotation as normal here and that's what you're trying to do. Saving your sp2 until he has under 45% health, can take him down in one. Or, take AA if you have him at 5/65 and hope you get enough neuros up. You can also use Nimrod on him, especially for the last 40% just make sure you're in blitz protocol.

Another tip? Wait until hero use is on, use green, red and orange boosts (particularly if you don't use suicides), then try again. You'll rack up points in hero use and you'll blast through all 7 lanes in one go. Also, if you haven't, stick a relic on herc, the passive stun can save you as well as deliver sp2, stun, double combo, relic, combo then special again, in the corner.

Warlock, AA (I used a 5*) and Nimrod all work.

Wait how could you tell I have a R4 Herc? I'm impressed haha.

And thanks (you and everyone) for the tips/suggestions! Imma try running it tomorrow.

My team on level 5 was
HT with prefight for Rintrah. Heavy for protection, then bait the sp1, quickly counter attacking when he throws it.
Scorpion for Sasquatch. Bait the sp2. During Wrath of Tanaraq, intercept his rush. Spam your sp1.
Omega Sentinal with Heal block prefight and Punisher 2099 for Sabretooth, he was the hardest for me. Just bait the sp1 and play him normally.
Bishop for Mantis.
