Dust in incursions

Kirberus_

Did 1 sector and gotta admit.. dust is the character that i fear now... That chip damage... and the More laggy than sandman fights is crazy

So any advise/counters/ how to play against her??Anything would be appreciated.

Pikolu

Don't let her hit your block, don't hit her block, don't use shruggers, and make space to bait the sp1. If you do all of that, she isn't half bad. Alternatively, you can use someone with a beastly amount of physical resistance (like abs man in Uru form) and then the sandstorm will do a lot less damage.

Is worse if you have suicide masteries

In her abilities it says if you hold block during her sandstorm, you take 60% less damage. So always do that when possible

Did someone try incinerate based counters? Are they more or less interesting than physical resistance oriented champs?

The lag is on another level compared to sandman or aarkus.

Then how do you get your openings? Just evade and evade until she hopefully throws a random heavy?

I mean, intercepts are always an option, but also dependent on AI cooperation…

I haven’t faced her so far, so am genuinely interested.

OK, basically you are saying we should use our laser beam from our eyes to kill her right? Wait, I'm not superman.
This is exactly the reason I said she is not well designed, the unavoidable damage is crazy.

I can't remember the name of the dude said I'm aways complaining, did you see this? I'm unfortunately correct again.

I did, didn't make that kind of a difference

So to counter dust you have to do exact 100% pin point intercepts every time? Because a little slip-up and AI these days will punish it heavily.

Don’t worry—AI never intercepts immediately after a crafty shallow evade. Also never throws up a quick block when you are backdrafting and trying to intercept. Easy peasy!

Seriously, she’s a pain even in lower Sectors. I’m not ashamed to admit a 250K health Dust took out my team in Zone 12 of lower level incursions. The combo of new champ and new debuffs plus same old lag from new champ animations makes for a frustrating experience. This far my ascended Torch has been a decent counter, although I have to get lucky with nodes to heal him up afterwards.

Don't like the sound effects..

Dust just roadblocked me in zone 4 with an invisible node that says the ai will only hold block, hold block only, and never not block

But we do have two Cyclopses to choose from.

Dust sucks. Sandstorm is stupid. I’d like to punch whoever created her right in the Richard

Wollef

Okay, Dust is the worst enemy ever...she came out of nowhere and she's stronger than every other X-Men in the entire game...come on really? This makes absolutely no sense... why????

Sunspot is pretty effective.

rcm2017

I am relieved, i thought only i was having a tough time. She is a pain really and tats an understatement.

Chuck_Finley

Community- “the AI is as passive as ever making intercepting extremely difficult”

Kabam: “Cool, time to release Dust”

Vanitelia

I have had success using Lady D and the incinerate on medium combo enders. Pair that with stun on armor ups and she melts pretty quickly.

captain_rogers

Use someone who inflicts a lot of incenerates, like sunspot or human torch or bishop.

Ayden_noah1

Dust is hard as hell in Incursions. I had a hard time in zone 6, couldn't beat her in sector 12, had to stop since didn't want too many waste revives just on her.

Weird that my post pop up twice.

Chuck_Finley

Just had her in sector 8 with conflictor, avarice, and fate seal whenever she throws a special. Yeah, that’s fun.

WinterFields

Herc with the stun lock combination of defense cascade and toxic advance works if the nodes are compatible

Do you have Cyclops? 🤣🤣🤣

Drago_von_Drago

I’ve been using Jessica Jones for her. Lots of resistance during specials.

so if she has a passive ai theres nothing you can do then
Seems extremley unfair

shield311

Wouldn't Namor be a good counter to Dust? Like his signature ability prevents all damage while attacking, so with namor you can go on full offensive and throw specials to regen most of the HP lost while you weren't being offensive

Aecyn

Probably not what you want to see but I just Hercules-ed it. Most of the time was on 1% but a kill is a kill! I run an Aegon focused strategy with herc as backup for problem fights like dust.
