6.3.1 Medusa Help

Tonystark1119

Here is my roster. Do y’all have any suggestions for who to use to beat Act 6 Chapter 3 quest 1 Medusa?

She has do you bleed node and buffet, so you can only damage via bleeds. Baron zemo could be a great counter if you take him to atleast to next rank. Make sure you have atleast one point in despair. He can get the job done himself.

Honestly, that was the hardest quest in act 6 for me. Watch MCOC Encyclopedia and you'll have to use revives.

For her, I believe it’s do you bleed node. Champions with bleed are going to work well. I believe knulls red damage counts as bleed. I’m not sure. If not you have a couple other strong counters for it.

Zemo has access to reliable bleeds.
Nick fury is the most recommended counter.
Chelith has good bleeds and she would work well.
I believe killmonger has bleed, but not strong ones.


For future content rank up hulkling, abs man, and maybe onslaught.

There’s a node that says that champion attack rating is increased 200% while the opponent is bleeding, but I’m still not dealing damage when I hit her. Am I misreading the node?

Knull won’t work. His necrosword attacks do deal instant bleed damage, but that bleed damage is based off of hit damage which is always zero against do you bleed.

Dealing increased hit damage doesn’t matter because do you bleed locks all hit damage to 0. The bleed vulnerability node matters because the increased attack rating juices your bleed damage further.

I’ll echo others here and say Zemo and Chee’ilth are among your best answers. Fury and Killmonger are good backup choices if you have the teamslots to spare. With Zemo, do regular sp2 into sp1 spam rotation, keeping an eye out for Medusa’s autoblock; if she triggers it, back off a bit and reset, if you keep hitting into block you’ll trigger explosive personality damage. With Chee’ilth just spam heavies, particularly after Medusa’s heavies and specials for the bleed pause.

Your 3 bleeders are Cheeilth, Zemo, & Fury. I know she has the "do you bleed" node. Think she has buffet, too. When I did it ways back, I used fury & took off dex to avoid triggering buffet. Not the most fun fight. Good luck

There’s killmonger as well with black panther synergy he can throw sp3 twice which would be enough for her if played correctly

But best bet is ranking zemo, having at least 1 point in despair

Feuerschwer

Zemo is probably the best option, use a few sp1s to shut down autoblock and then just stack bleeds as much as you can. You need a) bleed as it’s the only way to actually do damage;
b) something to deal with autoblock, so usually ability accuracy reduction
c) be able to avoid or out-damage buffet; that also means buff-heavy champs like Venom are less good because she’ll eat all your ramp with nullify.

Pikolu

Chee'ilth makes that a 1 minute long fight. Used the 5* on my alt and just heavy spammed. She is the easiest act 6 boss when using chee'ilth.

BEA5T_FURY

Zemo should do the job easily nf can just become unblockable throughout the fight rendering her auto block useless just make u Dex before and use the precision buff before triggering his lmd or else he will lose his fury's fury buff

Amanda_Cruze

If you have warlock, use parry heavy, the infection will take care of buffet.

Marouen

use Nick Fury, easy fight

Thank you all for your help. Chee'ilth worked really well.
