I would have never thought to use KM
In fact, I whittled myself down to <50% with shocks intentionally to get the attack bonus.
1. Unlike Abs Man, you can play around the nodes, with the Abs Man fight if you didn't have slow (which 90% of the objective champs didn't have) you were basically screwed cause there was no way to play around brute force when he was either unstoppable or refusing to throw a special attack.
2. There are more and better counters for this Nebula than there were for Abs Man.
So yeah, I don't think the fight's easy, it just feels that way because of how bs that Abs Man fight was.
However I have a 7r3 KM, so I'll likely try to brute force it with my KM first and if it proves to be too tricky, I'll give it a shot with shang chi.
I keep saying difficult can be difficult in a fun way. But when it's an Abs Man fight with not only a tragedy in nodes but also a tuned regen that made zero sense ... you shoot yourself in the foot when you actually do get the balance right because then perspectives are so altered that no one knows what the intent is.
As illustration:
1) The root node here is comparable to Brute Force, in that both stop you from being passive for long
2) Galvanize is comparable to the unstoppable node because both force you to be very careful about your openings
3) the autoblock and cold turkey nodes are comparable to the DOT immunity since both limit your ability to do damage and can result in a punishing interaction
4) Even Punishment and the armor break on parry nodes are both designed to make you be very careful and deliberate about how and when you decide to stun the defender.
I skipped a couple because this is already getting too long, but you get the idea. It wasn’t necessarily the nodes that made Abs Man so much harder, it was that he is, at his base, an extremely potent defender. You could 100% swap the nodes between these two fights, and Abs Man would still be the harder of the two.
Only reason I joined in on the absman hate party was because you guys capable of getting solos most of the time, weren't.
If I use half the revives this time I'm OK with it (probably used 10 on abs) because im impatient and won't wait more than half a dozen attempts before just going for it.
You dont understand. The fight stress went from 1 to 10 million in those few seconds
