But most robots rely on DoT effects or bursts, which just won't work.
Presumably Vision can power control him, but won't do any damage with SP1/SP2. That's going to be a long slog, but possible.
Warlock might be possible with SP3 only; but you won't want to throw SP2. And he seems to be bugged.
But, the more I think about it, the more I wonder if a ranked version of this guy might work?
His Wing attacks bypass 100% of Physical Resistance/Armour
His Shield mode reduces the opponent's Critical damage by 100% (I've no idea how this will interact with Abs man's burst damage)
His Stealth mode dramatically reduces opponents Combat Power rate, and increases your own
His SP3 has a really long Heal Block, and Null mode grants increased Attack that doesn't rely on debuffs/DoT.
I mean it might work, right?
Now all we need is to find someone crazy enough to have taken up a 6* Darkhawk, and try it out. Because I don't think this 5* version is going to get the job done...
Unstoppable for 4s out of every 8s, and Brute Force every 6s. Fun times...!
Does that count?
the limitation is very counterproductive.
I used suicide masteries
1. Don’t use pre-fight
2. Parry and use heavy at start of fight (now your in heal block mode)
3. Don’t heavy again
4. In between Abs Man unstoppable get as many 5 hit combos starting with medium and finishing with medium. If not enough time for 5 hit combo use medium, medium. Heal Block will stay active and no worry about regen.
5. Spam Abs Man SP1 and repeat with medium combos till he’s dead.
That being said: Nah, I‘m good taking that free points not going in with my Nimrod (or any of the r3 robots that I do have)
Eventually I just played super aggressively in order to take off as much health as I could in one go, and then I quit out when Abs' regen kicked in or I died to an SP3. Whichever came first. Playing this way, I could do maybe 10% damage per revive but it just felt like a revive fiesta at that point.
The thing that really annoyed me with this fight is that it's basically impossible to solo because it's so hard to prevent Abs from regenerating. What's worse, when you do lose, it's so easy to quickly lose much of the progress you've made to the regen. Even with a good counter such as Sandman, you might see Abs heal back 10-15% health before you shut the regen down with Despair, and then you have to stay alive long enough to not only knock off the health that was regened back but also put some further hurt into Abs.
I got into some kind of rhythm with Sandman after a while and actually had a slight bit of fun with him, but otherwise I didn't enjoy this fight in the slightest. It was just a horrible experience.
All in all it took me close to 50 (yes, fifty!) revives!
I know we didn’t have to do it… But I had 40 revives in the inventory and some free crystals to spare, so I thought better burn through these revives now… Who knows when this wiggle room will come in handy (looking at you, gauntlet in the final week)
Also how did you play around the unstoppable, or does infection sometimes prevent it? Or did you just have a really good AI?
