fought a r5a with r5a silk yesterday with 0 knowledge about him, got randomly stunned by the sleep mechanic idk anything about, non-contacts can't be parried so getting openings was hard, specials very easy to dex and the cowardice is also annoying as specials get nerfed hard. I'd rate him 7/10 honestly, he's at par with sentinel somewhat.
I got embarassingly tripped up by him when fighting him in the UC EQ (gotta keep up that Unit grind). My Guardian, who was at full health before the fight, finished at 3% due to me not paying attention to the Cowardice mechanic. He's honestly one of the most annoying defenders in the game, sort of like an upgraded tech MODOK. He isn't unfair per se, just annoying. Basically he's more like Enchantress than Serpent
The only reason why I didn't need to revive in the EQ was because of my Angela (instantly takes out disintegration debuffs and can parry non-contact hits), but he did catch me off-guard. I really love my 6* r5 Asc Angela
Edit: forgot to mention about the annoying cowardice. Yeah, since Angela deals more damage with basic attacks, this is not an issue for her as well.
He's not as strong a defender as I thought. But then again, I initially thought he was 10/10. He's more of annoying/sneaky than "needs hard counter" type.
He's annoying since you need to knock him down with heavies, not specials, heavies. His heavy attack isn't easy to counter plus he has non contacts. If you don't he'll put you to sleep, literally, and no one is immune to sleep.
Atm for war 1 war secured 3 kills then last war he secured 1 i think he is very good though if theres no nuke champ on hits or nodes where u can just heavy stun
There are a number of champs who can counter his heavy with their own if he's stun immune. He looks like a very solid defender but initial reactions seem a little over the top.
