Best counter of EOP Annilhilus?

That “Buffed Up” node on him is gonna cause me problems. Who seems to be the best counter for him? Thanks in advance.

Comments

Sigil witch wrecks him, sym supreme wrecks him too, but he is difficult because you have to use the sp3 in 2 of the 3 phases that already give a buff and his window of damage is short.

Did this on my run today with my 7r3 sigil witch

@Pikolu so with Witch, it involves a lot of parrying right?

Nacho98

Dazzler if you got her. Solo’d it with her

Average_Desi

I used storm px. A solo is possible at R1, but it takes patience

It involves sp1, sp1, sp2, sp3, repeat.

@Nacho98 i have her but I’ve never used her. Is there a specific rotation?

jj_jj_9

Would storm work?

Plenty of yt vids explaining her but just SP1 til you get 100 tempo then launch SP2. Pretty easy

Pikolu

Decided to go in and grab a video of her unboosted to share. Preferably you don't push him to sp2 though.

I used prof x(solo), did ham with him too so had an additional persistent charge which helps

@willrun4adonut 7r3 sigil witch, 7r3 Kushala, 7r2 Deadpool Xforce.

Kushala makes spiderham easy, just get to sp3 and use it whenever, I found waiting for the 3 thing doesn't really matter on sp3. Kushala was nice because she gained power the quickest, and 2 sp3s end that fight. Viv is a lot easier with kushala. I'd get close to 2 bars of power and bait a sp1 from viv before hitting her with a heavy and launching my sp2. Then I'd blitz up to sp1 to get the incinerates and pause the soul barb a bit before getting to sp2 again. At max boosts, the fight should end by your 2nd sp1. Then annihilus, as I showed earlier, is really easy with sigil witch or sym supreme because they got nullify and can have 3+ buffs, moleman is an easy DPXF fight. Dani I used DPXF and used 2 revives because I suck at dodging her sp2. Then tigra is really easy with Kushala just parry heavy and the fight will eventually end, it was the least stressful of all the fights. Then for Ares, Kushala was nice because she hits decently hard and has a good base health stat. I personally found that path to be the easiest imo because none of the fights feel awful. Annihilus is the only bad fight if you don't bring a mystic counter.

Does Sigil Witch need to be awakened to take him down? I have her, but she’s not awakened.

White tiger super easy fight .

I used prof x , kushala and Deadpool x force

Ham- prof x playing around the node
Viv- kushala

Annihilus- prof x

Moleman- dpx(kushala will work too)

Dani- dpx( any1 should work)

Tigra - Prof x
Against tigra yes kushala works and she has a safety net with the blue spell if you get neutralize on you but it will take a long long time as you don't place the soul barb nor incinerates

Every single person I’ve seen fight Viv on this path uses Kushala. I can’t seem to pull her, so who else can I use?

Friendly didn't use Kush: Path 4 - Onslaught(7s) Juggs(7s) Red Mags(6s), Onslaught for Ham, Mole Man, Dani; Juggs for Viv and Tigra and Red Mags for Annihilus @DocWest

That’s great to know. I started experimenting against her with my Juggs and I feel like I can do it. Just have to get better at dexing the 3rd hit of her SP1 more consistently and I’ll be good to go.

I’m thinking of going in with Deadpool X, Juggs and Mordo. This will be my 3rd path.

Deadpool X for Ham, Moleman and Dani
Juggs for Viv and Ares
Mordo for Annilhilus and Tigra

I think I’ll go Mordo over Sigil Witch because I can use him on defense in BG. I’m not sure where else I’ll use Sigil. I have enough resources to bring one of them to R3

Good luck. I'll be doing my third run on Monday, but haven't decided which path to do yet.

I used 7* rank2 northstar unduped and he was pretty good

just slow play ( mostly heavys ) get to sp3 then throw sp3 after activating speed burst so you have power remaining letting you get to sp2 quickly

again slow play till 2.5 bars of power then activate speed burst to throw sp2 and you will have almost a bar of power

then from here on it’s very easy fight of just get sp1 and throw it

don’t get cornered or corner him play in the middle

it sounds hard but it’s easy when you do it yourself

Ragnaruk5178

Mordo should shred him

I used prof X and clapped his cheeks. Basically do your typical rotation and keep the prowess up all the time. Falter helps get you openings as well

@Grootman1294 how many paths have you done, and are writing up any of your runs?

Oh I did them all, finished the last one on Thursday. Just haven't had the time to properly sit down and write everything up, will probably do that this weekend.

I'm planning to do a guide just for Ares first, and then guides for every path. Little spoiler alert, this challenge ended up being way more expensive than some of my other guides, so brace yourselves lol.

Well, my two paths is over 125 revives (and I spent units too) so . . .

Trust me it gets easier once you figure out the tells with Ares, was able to slash my revive count tremendously once I figured them out

DocWest

Ares does get easier. I’m actually kinda relieved when I get to him because I know I can get him down. My first run was a sloppy 30ish revives on him and then my 2nd run was somewhere around 15. I’m trying to not waste too many revives on the paths getting to him.

BigBlueOx

White tiger super easy fight .

Agreed, White Tiger is also insane for Dani too
