The immortal Serpent!

Hi guys, I recorded a fight of mine against the serpent in AW node 19 (left most lane).
Here's a 2 minute video of it plz have a look:

Any ideas what can be done for this guy? He got power gain, unblockable, indestructible, regen and what not! I couldn't believe how overpowered this defender is

Fights in AW nowadays are simply revive fiestas. They introduced hella strong defenders

Boy there was this bullseye today - 15 kills. It’s material war at this point

There was a War a couple back, this guy was hellbent on bringing down our r3 Gorr boss with his Herc (he didnt have any X-Magica counters)...it was like 33 deaths.

Bishop is banned too..

In effect, you can't dash back too many times because it triggers the regen from never back down node; no dashing back twice in 1.2 seconds, in effect.

You don't want to dex either, as it triggers indestructible.

So it's take a lot of block damage, don't dash back or Dex, deal with all his buffs, ideally be Xmagica.

You also can't block the first hit of his specials, so have to dodge that...

You can probably chip him down with wiccan and 40% free revives, if you can survive the block damage, but with wiccan that's a big ask, given his terrible block stat.

That aside, think it's only going to be a new champ, that can block unblockable, like kushala.

No helpful tips, but I got my butt handed to me today by a serpent boss. The struggle is real.

Would Kushala work?

Kushala is great for serpent. I got a solo on a serpent boss in the last war.

You're not building up your prowess a the start of the fight. Try not to fall below 3 prowess so you can dex when you need to. Also, matchups that can get away from you quickly, just spam his sp1's to keep up the neutralize and let those be your DOT source. special 2 is good and all, but get the fight under control first before thinking about using it.

Would Kushala work?

Yes - parry, heavy, intercept, parry sp2 then sp1. Best counter in this meta I have found
