**KNOWN AW ISSUE**
Please be aware, there is a known issue with Saga badging when observing the AW map.
The team have found the source of the issue and will be updating with our next build.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
**KNOWN BG ISSUE**
We are aware of an issue with the seeding for the beginning of the BG season.
We are adding rewards to higher progression brackets to offset the additional grind.
More information here.
**Arcade is being extra tricky with his Murder Box...**
It appears Arcade has been non-cooperative in his approach to this month's side quest and presented his clues in a nonsensical order. Lucky you, Summoners, we have our best and brightest on the case and those clues should now be a lot more straightforward. While messing around in Arcade's files we came across a phrase, highlighted and bolded, with sparkles and pointy arrows: "the abode for the dead" ... Maybe that will help you along the way!

Top Onslaught counters based on the deep dive

in General Discussion
I thought about Shocker but couldn't think of more (even Shocker might not work too well I might've missed something) does anyone know who might be good based on what we know from the deep dive? I want to start planning ahead of time cause he looks like he's going to be a nightmare to fight.

    Shocker also was the first to come to mind but probably only for battlegrounds and maybe war.
    Sam seems like a good champ for questing when fight duration doesn't matter

    Maybe his sp3 rotation will be good enough for EQ after his buff but yeah he won't be the quickest, we'll see. I r3 him and took him to sig 200 as soon as I got him out of the featured so hopefully the buff is good enough to make him somewhat viable, I'm really not excited about fighting Onslaught.

    AA hes not bleed immune he just has heavy resistance so neurotoxins would still work

    Will the neurotoxin shut down the dormant crushed passive? If it does then yeah won't be too hard with AA although he will still take a lot of block damage since you can't parry Onslaught.

    a high sig AA can shut his dormant crushed passive with just 1 neurotoxin i think. finding the proper space to heavy him tho could be tough with AA since his heavy only does 1 hit and u can punish his specials cause they too far out but once u get that 1 neurotoxin on him is wraps

    He’s got way too many non-contact hits to ever apply that poison in time.
    it’s just the first light and the first medium isn’t it?

    White mags pre fight - parry passive stun then use AA to apply neurotoxins…

    What about Nimrod? Or Nimrod teamed with Omega Sentinel?

    White mags pre fight wouldn't work, Onslaught's attacks are non contact and he can't be parried. It's not that he's immune to stun debuffs or something like that.

    Nimrod won't work, Onslaught reduces potency of shock effects by 150%.

    Omega sentinel works well with her plasmas
    Also No one said about infamous iron man? Yes he can't do much damage but he won't crit and it will be slow but sure victory
    Gully99 works too.
    I'm just gonna use FAM against him tho

    I was thinking max sig Angela with odin prefights for EQ but 2 issues. Not sure if those neurotoxins will turn into passives when her sig ability kicks in though. Also she is metal.

    Onslaught is a bit of a cheat imo. Only non-metal tech are Capt Sam, Shocker and Yondu.

    They are all metal - think that will cause issues with reduced AAR

    Angela just reduces duration with her sig so it shouldn’t trigger the passives. Being metal would be an issue though.

    Rocket is also non metal and Onslaught has no resistance to rupture.
