AQ Raid Nightmare: Sasquatch and Rintrah

There's a lot of concern on how to deal with Sasquatch and Rintrah in the upcoming Raids Nightmare.
These two defenders will invalidate almost all the tactician champions, and also their role boost.

Sasquatch is immune to Armor Break and Rintrah just turns to be stronger if yo try to put an armor break on him. This means the Null Break role boost will not work. also, with Rintrah's neutralize all the role boosts for the tactician champions will not work unless they modify the neutralize ability.

In the announce page they only mention new buffs and role boosts, but didn't explain anything else.

So, how will you deal with these two defenders?

    Pikolu said that rintrah's neutralize will be modified. So it shouldn't be too bad

    Can you please post a link to this? Or can @Pikolu please confirm if this is true? I am also not feeling confident bringing a cosmic against these mystic defenders

    @Pikolu and @Cat_Murdock have both stated that there will be adjustments made to Rintrah's kit (and maybe Sassy as well, but I don't remember). They didn't have details at the time, and no, I am not going to hunt down their comments for you, but they are trustworthy sources.

    Of course, this doesn't mean that Kabam's planned adjustments to their kits will actually take effect, because history.
    Last on Cats X was they were chasing for details, and not getting very far

    Kabam's original post about these upcoming raids was just not informative at all. You'd think they'd mention all the kit changes.

    Based on what they did communicate - I just assumed the only changes were the defenders, and the attack pool.

    As an alliance we’ve painstakingly planned it based on rintrah / sassy / role boosts all staying as is.

    The viable pairings were very limited.

    On the bright side, we'll all get compensation when it inevitably goes terribly and a third of the everyones battlegroup can't do the rintrah fight because they didn't bother to adjust the defender/champ pool.

    I reckon kushala with vicious placebo will do good no matter what. Otherwise, if the defenders do get adjusted then Juggs all the way for tactician

    I was going to say something constructive to you in response, but then I saw your username.
    You know I’m right

    If you preview the map it shows that Rintrah’s crit resistance was reduced and Sassy’s regen/damage resistance was also lowered. Nothing about Rintrah’s neutralize or either’s armor break interaction. This could be painful

    Does kushala have any problems against gentle?
    At the moment she's looking like my top pick for tactician

    I don't think so. I don't really know how gentle works but he's not incinerate immune so she should be fine.

    I’m using mojo with the vicious boost. I think he should work really well for all the fights

    The hacks/raid boosts can't have their ability accuracy modified so the buffs you get from it should be unaffected by rintrah's neutralize.
