Cheesy Tips & Tricks for Glykhan

For Glykhan:
1. You need mutants with prowess, i recommend Bishop, Both Storm and Emma. I used Storm Pyramid X as i didn't have OG.
2. Domino also works. She can fail root in phase 3 due to AA reduction at times which is helpful. It happened for me 40% of times with the 3 path attempts.
3. In MCoC Noob Video, he didn't recommend Gamora but that's not true. I watched Jason Voorhees video, and got inspired to use my fav Gamora. She hits like a truck here, i almost soloed with her.
4. As per Jason Voorhees we need to keep it simple, it's an easy boss. And they are right. Ignore all judgement icons. In phase 1 and phase 2, just dex specials and punish it with heavy, stun, special chains. For special 1 rush in after kickback and For sp2 rush in after Axe throw. That's it. You will not have any issues dexing specials and heavies in both phase. Once you have practice, these phases will go smooth.
5. In phase 3, you can go in with good health, don't be shy to block special hits and dex and punish only the last special hit, that's enough. Degen won't do much damage and your champ will do a lot damage.
6. In phase 1, build till sp1 of Glykhan's power and dex & punish specials and heavies. You can build till sp2 as well and do same, no issues. In phase 2 you need to build till sp2 of Glykhan's power only and he chooses a special randomly. Now continue dexing and punishing either. For phase 3 you can build till sp1 preferably. Glykhan roots you on specials. To make it easier follow point 5.
7. All 3 paths don't make any visible changes to fight. It's as simple as dex and punish special specials and heavies every time.
8. For last 1%, you need to be a mixture of agressive and passive, you don't want the rooted heavies when completely passive. Engage Glykhan in 2nd half of indestructible timer with relics and combos. In this phase take only 1-2 specials from Glykhan. Ideally 1 to start the indestructible and one just after it ends. This phase needs a bit luck but you will do it eventually.
------

Overall it's an easy and fun boss. He fits in accordance to rest of Act 8 bosses and Kudos to kabam for making him fun. It's great that none of the minion bosses or paths were tough as well and good that they didn't introduce any new recent defenders in 8.4.

Domino is not good, she will sometimes trigger stun with basic attacks and that can cost you a lot of health
Also Deathless Guillotine is a good option, she has good crit damage and her when you trigger her regen on specials you will get back a lot of health

I have practically used her in all 3 paths and didn't have any issues. Stuns happened very rarely and didn't cost me. You can easily stop combos incase it happens. She can has high damage on specials and can fail root at times which is very helpful. So give her a try, she will work well.

Dust also seems like she’d be great, with being able to spam specials after the sandstorm is active.

I used her, stuns happened in many tries, and 3 times in a single fight
And how did the root fail? Isn’t the boss immune to ability accuracy reduction? Or is it bugged?

Might be bugged, don't know. I was also curious first time it happened. Whenever the red unlucky icons happens above Glykhan, his specials don't root which helped me a lot.
Is your Domino awakened? Mine is, perhaps that's the difference.

CyborgNinja135

Juggs did the fight for me in 1 revive. Definitely recommend him to anyone who has him ranked up

Hector_1475

without having tried them, I suspect the 2 below champs are very good counters for the fight:

1. EMMA FROST: great block proficiency, access to prowess and most importantly an incredible evade counter. Is it possible that she totally shuts down his evade & punish mechanic, after completing tasks over the limit?

2. SPIDERGWEN: she has access to Slow, to stop his unstoppable after sp1, she starts with 3 additional spider-charges against Superior Class champs, and she can auto-evade unblockable specials.

Both worth considering highly in my opinion.

Jack2634

Doom is great against him. Very tanky , high block prof, sp1 can control glykhan's power really well.

Mine isn't awakened but that doesn't matter, the awakened ability has nothing to do with it. You just got lucky if you didn't do the stun punishment. Because it also happened to me 4 or 5 times when using her.

If yo ualready have 3 stun punishments done and domino's perfect stun happens then Glykhan will get an evade charge and evade you + punish you which loses you health/kills you. You probably got lucky that it didn't happen or didn't cost you.

Evade, Unstoppable and Unblockables in this major are not a major factor, they don't trigger if specials are dexed. So no particular counters needed for it.

It's bugged because Glykhan is immune to AAR they will patch this bug in the next update

Thanks for the write up OP I am in 8.4.4 now this will help me a lot

Would slow even work since not only is he immune to Aar but he's also superior class

captain_rogers

Here are my tips.
Use a high block prof champ, as you are gonna block a hell lot of hits.
Doom is one of the best options, as he can control Glykhan to throw a specific special by his power steal. Even Msd used doom.

The deal breaker of this match is your abilities to dex his sp1 while rooted. Otherwise the indestructible phase is going to be hell for you. So make sure you can dex his specials at root

Moosetiptronic

Ok, the global node must make a titanic difference.

My R3 warlock, is doing almost double the damage on basics, as my R2 bishop and 3 times the damage of ascended 5/65 6*.

Although bishops specials hit for about the same.

So use your highest rank 7*s.

BENNYJ

Silk makes the third phase easy. Block bait heavy attacks, punish him - then your auto evade takes care of the rooted specials. You’ll then have enough of an opening when you punish his specials to build up your evade charges again. Rinse and repeat, game over

EtherionGod

I beat him with Doom, needed to revive 1 time in phase 3 but other than that it was very easy.

TheShinyDome

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but I used hulk for him and was able to count a huge chain as it counted an entire 5 combo, relic, 5 combo, sp1, more 5 combos, another relic combo, 5 combo, a second sp1, and two more combos before my relic failed and he killed me with a sp3. Did so much damage. Wasn't even mad that I died lol

Nojokejaym

Juggernaut.

dannyrotten

You definitely do not need mutant champs for this fight. I used hulk, fury and domino. No issues with the non mutants. Great fight btw!

Zephyre33

i did it one time took the red guardian path this boss for me personally was a nightmare for me dani was mvp and did a lot of damage to him also decided to r2 storm X for this boss she did great even at r1 but at r2 she could easily solo the boos same goes for og storm im just gonna farm some arena and resources and do exploration by the end of next week

BKSwisherSweet

Kitty's L2s with Tigra's synergy for unblockable phasing crippled him

Kitty's L2s with Tigra's synergy for unblockable phasing crippled him

The unblockable does nothing though, you still have to punish him to deal damage

ya the global does have a node that increases attack of your 7* champions

WinterFields

Hulkbuster does pretty well too. His specials hit really hard, and he is tanky

Your are right, i m also getting same impression now. He is generic boss like Scytalis and Cerastes. Prowess champs are good to have but you can do it with most of the high ranked champs. Except the indestructible and immortal ones offcourse.

Zephyre33

has anyone tried knull i have a r3 knull what kind of damage would his sp2 do to glykhan

Mikes_mom

Hi, I have few questions:
1- Which are my best options? I have Hulk, Hulkbuster, Gamora & D Guillotine besides the mutants in the attached pics
2- Are Apoc's & W Magneto's pre-fights helpful?
3-Why not Sauron or R Magneto?
Thank you

I can’t get this **** to fall off in Phase 3. Got him down to 69% and I’ve used a striker and I have used a special multiple times but nothing happens. Anyone have any tips? I’ve used Doom the whole fight and haven’t had any issues until now.
