Raid Maestro help

I apologize for noobness. Our alliance has made some really good progress against kang and thanos, but we’re struggling to do much damage to maestro. Personally, I’m finding that I’m taking a ton of block damage trying to bait heavies and punishing specials isn’t getting me to 50 raid fervor within 3 minutes. Any tips for us?

I do hope for when this comes around in 4 weeks time they do something about it.
-SP1 is his biggest issue. He will degen you if the last beam makes contact. If he fires a SP 1, it is way easier to block the first three hits and dex the last hit even with pierce.
-Push him to SP 2 if possible as it is very easy to back off and punish. His SP 2 has bad range.
-If your health can allow it, put up a block and dex when he throws the heavy. There is a bit of a wind up on the hit so it isn't too hard to do.
Managed to take him down with a couple of expiring revives with my Titania as I could trigger her invulnerability at the the start of a SP1 and just dex the last hit.
He is probably the trickiest of the three bosses in my opinion having not fought Kang yet. Pierce does not seem like fun with him though.

Take a look at what your Role Boost says, the first sentence will be about the condition that increases the amount of Role Fervor (this is the grey icon with the yellow fist) by 6 per objective completed. This is KEY. If you aren’t increasing your Fervor gain, getting to 50 is going to be a huge slog. Lean into the conditions of your boost to be able to hit the 30 Fervor-per-Objective cap. This means that it will only take 2 completions of your in fight Objective to complete a Mission, and you want to be getting 7 for your neighboring Role, plus you need to keep completing these to keep Role Force active. If you aren’t hitting 50 Fervor in the entire fight, this is likely your issue.
Silk makes the evade easy as you have the auto evade safety net. My 6r4a was doing 10% on just a few sp2s once ramped up.
Hyperion is also good as it’s very dependable to be able to push him to sp2 between all the powergain, relic and sp2 stun. Just parry at the start to build furies then top up with sp2/relic stuns and take no more chip damage. I wasn’t really baiting heavies tbh apart from right at the start. 3 parry heavies, couple of heavy bait and punish and he’s at sp2 and you’re fairly set from then on.
For now, try to intercept or use someone who can commonly go unblockable like Adam or Nick Fury so that you don't have to risk an intercept. Or use someone who has a Miss. However one of the missions for Maestro requires blocking, so good luck

The window to punish is pretty small so the closer you can stay to him, the better.
If he fires the sp1, watch his blasting hand and time your dexes to that. If you're doing raids seriously, you likely also have a Maestro of your own from Necro (thanks for dying btw). Practice on him. If you can do it on him, you can do it on raid Maestro.
Good luck to you all.
