Wut?

What? New NC can’t have evade ability accuracy reduced by non-tech champions. SC applies slow on heavy attacks, which is not a common utility among tech champs. Slow reduces evade ability accuracy by 100%. Am I missing something from that analysis?

Plzz no one shed the light. Let him have some fun till he realizes.

So i went through his new abilities, bleed immune and evade reducing tech champs counter him. (Ref: https://playcontestofchampions.com/news/champion-spotlight-nightcrawler/)

And yes, Silver Centurian is perfect counter for him. He inflicts slow on heavy and is bleed immune.

Any other suggestions?

Ghost, Mysterio, Starky, IMIW are some other options

Also applies a 28 second slow on sp3.

Well you see, his evade aar is not reduced by non tech champs, Still they can tackle him in other ways.

Alas, Mysterio's Poison only stops Spiderverse champions from Evading.

The way I read the Spotlight, there should still be plenty of non-Tech counters.

From the wording of Nightcrawlers new Sig, it states that Nightcrawlers chance of Evading can't be reduced. So this ability works against Slow, Decelerate, Disorient, Falcon's Lock-on, etc. But if you Prevent or Ignore evasion, you should be just fine.

So True Strike, True Accuracy, and Coldsnap should work. (Proxima, Odin, Iceman, Emma Frost, Professor X, Killmonger, Karnak, Attuma, Misty Knight, Elsa, Kate, Kraven, Mole Man, Night Thrasher, Squirrel Girl). Also, Hit Monkey, Jabari Panther, and Nick with five charges.

Yup, same kind of deal as Bullseye’s evade, but with a tech carve out to it.

Prof X may not work, his evade lock mechanism only trigger against non psychic opponents, I afrad they are going to make Nightcrawler psychic shielding champ.

Actually, Mysterio could work as an option, but only in certain modes because it's dependent on a synergy that Silver Surfer has with him.

… why? What about the information we currently have makes you think that Nightcrawler is getting a psychic shielding tag added to him?

Nvm, I just misread his ability to have extra chance to evade "physical attacks" as psychic attacks, dumb me 😅

Darn if only Silver Centurion was a tech champ and was the subject of Demon's post...

Oh well... it's still an r5.

Demonzfyre

Y'all, this is a Silver Centurion intimidation post. No more talk about what the other 5 peasant classes can do.

It still wouldn't matter cause Prof X's ability is to bypass evade. There is no AAR involved

Looking forward to seeing all your screenshot of him timing out in BGs

No the timer for switching modes is now constant: dash back and hold block for 2 seconds. The sig ability now makes him better on defense

No - they've removed the part where it's easier to switch him Awakened.

And his bleed damage scales up with his Sig, so being Awakened will be important for that.

Elsa coldsnap stopping his evade will still work or not?

Elsa coldsnap stopping his evade will still work or not?

Should work fine, although of course he's got to Evade at least one time before she'll switch to Coldsnap debuffs.

So apoc can still shut down the evade? AA will still work with 3 neuros?

Based on the description, Apocalypse should work, since he gains the ability to bypass Evade, rather than reducing Nightcrawlers chances.

Archangel probably shouldn't work, since he reduces ability accuracy.
