Commendations on the Great Showcase for DKG

Just a comment giving the team congrats for the terrific showcase the SoS objective provides for the abilities of Deathless King Groot.

I cannot think of a more apt or better scenario to demonstrate everything DKG can do in game. It’s invigorating to see how brightly he can shine in game. Good job!

    One thing everyone's forgetting is DKG was able to remove daunted debuffs and organic magnetism debuffs without them reapplying as passives. That's really cool bout him.

    Yeah he’s slow af for the fight but surprisingly safe imo. Regen and shrugging the daunted is very useful for getting the solo, even if it does take 500 years

    My DG is unduped and my DKG will remain unduped as well. May i don't love them enough. I did cheese Mr Krabs with Shang and did tiresome fight with Photon but won't stress it more.

    Though since the challenge contained champs like Shang, Mole Man, DKG, i thought they could have added some shrug off debuff thing.

    It'll be like 10 revive spam feista with DKG, just get it done tbh.
    You can get those in 5 days, that's right, 5.

    Is it a guaranteed win at 10 revives tho? Sometimes I diee immediately and sometimes I can take around 10-15% of his health. What if I start revive spamming but end up without a good run?

    I got excited for a second thought this was a saving guide😂

    What did you do finally? Did you rank him up and used recoils? How many revives?

    He was R2. I slowly practiced until I could get at least 10% off the first run, then picked a solid effort (about 15% down) and decided to keep going.

    Not great gameplay, but managed to get a couple of 25% or more damage runs just throwing Sp1 for armor breaks and dexing his Sp1 (never Sp2). After a KO, I would turn off WiFi and the game and start it all back up again (because my frame rate kept getting chunky after a few minutes of fighting).

    I counted 6-7 revives to ~250K health remaining (the first million or so health). Just L1 revives and YOLO thereafter with a couple of runs cut short by cheap shots and cheesy AI from Onslaught. I’d estimate a dozen revives total but at that point I didn’t really care. I had L1s in overflow.

    Main takeaway: if the AI wants to KO you, it will—either by cornering you, light intercepting, snap lights or double evading (yes, that happened) with an immediate counter-combo.

    It was far from clean, but it is done. I knew it would take me more items than Shang so I gritted my teeth and kept going.

    That was pretty much my approach. Nine or ten revives all in, I think.

    Still, very happy to have him Awakened now - he's a lot of fun. And his fiery animations on his Heavy and Specials are just great.

    This was one of the weirder fights for me. First 70%, totally passive / maddening AI with the weird pauses, the holding block, the light intercepting, etc. Last 30% it was like a switch flipped and he started charging at me more, only hit i to my block once or twice before throwing heavy after heavy and trying to back me into the corner. Skynet was learning in real time.

    while his wonky AI either takes 19 baits to throw and special or throws while you are dashing back.

    I don't know if the games mocking me, but I had pretty easy solo's with Shang Chi and Quicksilver, AI played ball after a couple times. But anytime I lock in DKG Onslaught just decided to curl up in a ball and cry all fight. Like, it's a fighting game where the opponent just doesn't want to fight. 75% block, 20% back off, 5% flail angrily into the air, 0% dash forward.

    Yeah no problem with Shang and photon, but with dkg, onslaught is so passive. It might be the longer dex, similar to venom so it doesn’t trigger an sp as reliably as a shorter dex champ.
