What can Hercules NOT deal with?

This can be a specific character e.g. a difficult mystic or an ability e.g. evade.

Ideally if you could write a list, I’m assuming it won’t be very long lol

He’s hindered when the nodes strip your buffs. Not so much if it’s 1 buff but when you’re fate sealed and everything gets stripped away. It’s the one big roadblock I find in incursions for example

Buffet. Rintrah. Rage node. Consistent evade to name a few.

The new marked buff/debuff/whatever it is, buffet/neutralise/nodes that shorten buff length considerably, ability accuracy lowering, there are plenty of dangerzones not to walk Herc into, but if he isn't directly countered you can most likely walk into the fight and just swing.

I did all of act 6 on an alt account with a 5* Hercules. The only path I can recall he didn't work for was when the opponent has to be bleeding. I think the node is called so you bleed or something like that. Pretty much the only nodes he can't do are when he can't do damage for some reason. Other things might make it difficult, but he can still do it.

Rejection. He can’t even.

Hmm ok I'll finally say it.

Is it just me that gets mildly suspicious at posts like this? Lol

Whenever I see these I can't help but think there's a kabam dev behind it. Like the "What's the worst node combinations?" Or "What are the worst nodes for this or that champ?" posts.

Sure, it can be some random summoner who's simply chatty and curious about all things mcoc each time.

I'll always be slitting my eyes tho, and thinking "You cheeky sods. Trying to get us to hand over all our info just to use it against us afterwards

There are things that directly counter his potent abilities (like the variety of buff control options) but some of the reason he is so great is because of the massive amount of damage that he does. The fact that after an easy and accessible ramp-up he obtains another 120% burst of physical damage and armor penetration just bypasses so many defensive abilities that it is a bit nuts. If he didn't have the slight benefit from bleed/poison debuffs to make him LC/DE friendly, then that would have been a bit of a balance.

There are mostly just things that are more annoying for him when at a sufficient level: like crazy regeneration, the fact that he only has small damage reduction against bleed and poison and nothing besides the immortality to negate other debuffs, nodes that require specific fight conditions such as placing a lot of debuffs (can possibly be worked around with Cap IW, etc) or those fights that reduce damage by 95% except for specific sources.

Assuming he has no synergies or node help just regular old Hercules (sig200).
