The Serpent

Hello, everyone, so in next Event Quest and maybe side quests and possibly in future BG decks we will encounter Serpent... he seems like a scary defender. Who will you use for countering him? I have a few ideas but that also depends on the nodes he will have.

Serpent isn't immune to poison so he can work

America Chavez will bully him. She’s a hard counter.

Don't forget that acid burns are direct damage ignoring resistances and the weakness on block are super useful. His sp1 also spaces across the map so he can corner serpent for the whole fight.

Archangel and Human Torch

Actually not a bad idea as serpent isn’t immune to poison for whatever reason.

Serpent reduces bleed duration by 90%,

For me, Wiccan, Dr Doom, Hyperion or Kushala.

Let’s see - I think you will still be able to apply Neurotoxins if you’re quick enough or if RNG is in your favour.

Human Torch yes i can agree Archangel on the other hand provided you get neuros on time since he had reduced duration to bleed.

Nightheart

For me, Wiccan, Dr Doom, Hyperion or Kushala.

They could work

Nightheart

Diablo

Diablo can work as well

Chavez will reverse his power gain and gain a ton of attack rating in the fight. She will also be spamming specials throughout the fight, shutting down his Culforce Charge gain rate. Finally, Chavez’s damage output is silly even against opponents without buffs, but Serpent has at least one and I believe up to three buffs that could be active on him at any time. And, if you do make a mistake and get hit or just get chipped down by block damage, she can heavy cancel into sp2 on her blue dimension and heal right back up. She’ll rip him apart.

As a r3 awakened Chavez owner, I truly hope you’re right. But based on DLL’s spotlight context video I watched last night, I wouldn’t be putting all my eggs in one basket just yet.

I see you, too, are a man of culture (r3 awakened Chavez gang). Yeah, I fully admit that this is all just theoretical until the rubber hits the road. But even if her damage does get gimped by all his resistances, I think she’ll still have great control over the fight.

Also, I know it’s an oldie but he’s a classic for a reason: Doom. Power steal works, and nullifying Serpent’s power gain will let Doom special spam with ease.
