Auto block counters

Who r the best counters to auto block like Medusa and Peni Parker?

willrun4adonut

Angela, though you have to bring down Peni's shield first due to her abilities. But she hits hard enough that it goes down fast.

Metarix

For Peni you hit her while she is blocking till her purple buff is down and she wont autoblock you anymore

Johnnoooooo

Anyone with an undermine buff, like scream or vox.. or anyone who can go unblockable.
Also not allowing her to gain furies is another option, like a good stagger or neutralise champ.. if all else fails just heavy her.
For peni, venom is great, hulkling or galan too

Odin with his first special attack.

OP, familiarize yourself with the champs who’ve got the various “true [something]” buffs. I think “true accuracy” is the one you want but I can never remember for sure. Odin, Herc and others can get it.

It’s worth noting that Angela doesn’t just automatically stop all autoblock. She has to be duped and she needs a bunch of buffs active to shut off autoblock. Great champ for sure but it’s not without conditions…

Adam Warlock goes brrr. There is a small downtime between his cycles, but he can keep up his unblockable thorughout most of the fights.

For Medusa, Vox is a great option. Not only does he counter autoblock as such with his Sp1, but you can place an indefinite neutralize on Medusa (or any Inhuman champion) with your Sp3. So if you go Sp1 into Sp3, you completely strip her of any way to gain buffs and she becomes a complete noodle.

It's all conditional.. there are a few scenarios

Often it can be countered by gameplay with any champ:
- Peni: remove her shield via block hits
- Arcade: hit him with heavies to remove his Tokens
- Medusa: remove her Furies via buff mitigation (below 3 = safe)
- Scream: do not let her charge a heavy
There are probably many other examples, but first learn these in case you need to fight them without autoblock mitigation

Then you have the older abilities such as True Accuracy.. this works on some champs but not others (it's more likely to work against champs designed prior to Peni Parker, but not necessarily)

You have champs that use AAR (ability accuracy reduction).. Angela for example with a certain amount of Buffs will reduce the accuracy of Autoblock by a certain percentage, but watch out for champion kits that state something about increased ability accuracy (Peni and Arcade for example) - Red Magneto is similar against #Metal

And you also have the newer abilities.. which are more likely to work in more scenarios unconditionally.. such as Undermine -Vox Scream and Gorr are a couple examples

Also anyone who has access to Unblockable attacks can work.. though be wary of defenders who counter this with Steadfast

Vox is the best IMO.

For peni Parker venompool ranks up so fast.

Some autoblock is permanent passive

You have to wait forever

Not true at all.

I think red magneto straight away bypass autoblock instead of AAR.

Galan is the best counter for Peni but you still have to hit her block

Odin is easy and sweet and a prolonged buff which you can keep for full fight

Undermine is the best since it can ignore nodes like True Lies

But this doesn’t work vs High Evolutionary
