Best Photon Counter?

So I keep losing to R3 Photon in BG, and don't really have any good counters, and don't want to ban her since I have her myself, and my deck isn't stacked and I'd rather ban R3 champs I don't have (Serpent, Titania, Silk, Nefaria, Spider Ham, Onslaught, the list goes on and on).

I have T2 dust expiring so I am thinking of choosing between these two. I tested them out as 6R1s against my R3 Photon and Zemo kills her a little faster but KP seems safer.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. I have the mats to max sig 200 R5A one of them.

I'd say Kingpin, I know my Photon has been nuked by him plent of times, and being bleed immune reduces some of Zemo's damage potential, but I have precious little experience with him to be sure on that being relevant.

It actually helps Zemo in BG. If the opponent (like Photon) is immune to bleed, Zemo "gains a Fury Buff increasing the Attack Rating of his next hit by +8084." And you can stack these furies; unreal....

King pin is essential questing champ.
That's all I can say.

My Biased opinion. Zemid is needed to get 7* starky. That's his whole purpose in the game.

Friendly, I don't have her! I wish I did, especially because I think she's available as a 7? That would be nice.

Thanks, yeah, that articulates it well. KP is more than just a Photon counter, whereas Zemo might have precious few other uses....

I’d say whichever you feel more comfortable playing out of those 2, will likely end up with the same result against Photon.

Patriot if duped, Dazzler, Falcon, Crossbones, Mantis, Silver Sable, Silk, Dust

I don't have Patriot, but I do have a Titan, and I've heard there is a 50% chance of pulling him. So now I feel like I should open it (was saving it for March).

Xbones, Kingpin, & Black Cat are my skill class go-to. Hopefully my duped Patriot will be joining that list...

Don't think photon has any counter,been running through everyone with my rank5

Do you have like 100 R3s, or actually like him? All I see is people bagging on him.

Although, 7* Ant-Man also gets lambasted here, and honestly, he's awesome, at least for my playstyle. So I don't doubt that the Patriot-haters could be wrong.

Silver Sable is not to be overlooked…

I haven’t tried him at R3 yet but he’s a simple champ and I love simplicity.

Don't forget Elsa,
My 7r3 whoops every single Photon,
She purify debuffs to gain crit chances,
Has opening with parry-hit style thing like Kate,
Fat sp2 literally finishes fights.

Also 0 error of margin as she's so easy to play.

Those two options are good. Also Nick Fury, Jabari Panther, and Shuri have been solid counters to her. NF bypasses miss when gets 5 tactical charges. Jabari Panther also when she reaches The Hunt. Shuri can block her unblockable specials. Plus her crits can do good damage.

As for the Titan, save it for March unless you absolutely feel like you need to open it now, and will use Patriot elsewhere in the game. This BGs season is almost over, so you don't want to waste resources on him. Plus you were saving your Titan until March for a reason.

Really want that Kingpin, if it's me then it's Kingpin. He will work alongside Kate

Because it’s better to pull Red Hulk in the springtime?

I can't understand why nobody said hulkling and Starky as they can nuke her too quick and also kate bishop one of the most used photon counter in aw and bg
Other options crossbone black cat mantis kingpin guardian

Bro, I don't know who this YT guy is, but if I had his skills and reflexes, I wouldn't even need a Photon counter. He does 10 sidestep intercepts in a row like it's nothing.
But I'm not a young man, I need the cheese kind of help.

People really forget her often

sure mantis and xbones are better counters

but they really need some cooperation from AI

whereas elsa just hit build sp2 and finish that photon

Photon moves are so predictable..

Ban if you cant dex

Try sable

Will Joaquin Torres Falcon be a good counter? He has bulwark and dex replacement
