    Jack O’ Lantern works great for this matchup and can finish the fight in under a minute. If you get the timing down for dexing Nova’s Special 1 and then dashing in, plus mixing in some intercepts to build Fury, you’ll take her down fast. I have a video too but don’t know how to post it :(
    I need to beat her 3 times so what are other good options? And when I dash in I get stunned and she counters attack. How to deal with that?

    Intercept her. That’s really all you need to do. Her SP1 is easy to dodge so keep her power under 2 bars.

    When I intercept I get stunned and she deals 500 billion damage to me.

    Another set of options I’ve tried are Shuri, Arcade, and Fantman — all of them can handle the fight pretty well

    If by intercept you mean interrupting her heavy, you can't. If you dash in during her heavy, she stuns you and deals some big damage. Gotta wait until the animation is complete.
    But otherwise, yes, you need to intercept her. I used Shuri, Jack and FAM as my three. Shuri was the easiest, but they were all solid for her.

    Yes, jack and shuri best for her

    Apart from intercept, if you have trouble with specials use someone like Ironman who can block unblockable specials.

    Youndou also works amazingly on her . And when you see her doing a heavy attack stay far away

    Casandra's sp1 os 4 slow dexes. Very easy.
    Her sp2 is 4 very quick, (back to back dexes) than a 5th dex about 1 second later

    You can beat her with any champ. Process is straightforward:

    1. Intercept her to push her to special 1 and bait it.
    2. Dex the special 1 and punish her when she is charging.
    3. Rinse and repeat

    Dont push her to special 2, its much more difficult to dodge and if she does the heavy then dont intercept. Champions with DoT is your best way to get this done fast. Champions with power drain/burn in their kit is not the best idea from timing perspective because the safest way to do damage is to punish her special 1. Her AI can be irritating with constant shallow evades if you rely on intercepts only.

    Best champs - Shuri (keep rinsing the crit shocks), jack o lantern (nice red numbers), Nimrod (special 2 hits hard) and Ironheart (consistent incinerate damage and vulnerability with the sp 1). I tried Iron Man, Fantman, Red Skull and Warlock too but Iron Man was too slow and the power drain on the others was affecting my timing.

    Bastion, Jack, Solvarch, Sentinel, Shuri, Warlock.

    Don't rush in to punish her heavy. Her SP1 is super easy to evade.

    I adviced you reparry her till' she launch heavy attack, once the the animation of her heavy finishes make an attack and then make an intercept, also you can interrupt her channeling using a relic or with a special attack without you get stunned.

    You're dashing in when she's charging a heavy which you can't do, you need to intercept her dash attack

    Shuri made the fight a joke. Red Skull also made it easy. The advice in this thread is solid. Just don't forget to intercept to remove the protection. Bait an sp1 once she has it as she can surprise you with how quick it comes. If you do that you can probably use any good tech attacker.
  • xenchiefxenchief Member Posts: 131 ★
    Btw in the valiant guantlet bring infamous iron man as synergy with shuri and you can completely tank 1 special.

    I used Warlock, Stark Spidey, and Shuri. Others have spoken to Warlock and Shuri but with Spidey just dance around to build up 10 charges and she goes down pretty fast.

    Prowler just runs over her and his power control speeds up the fight by reducing the number of specials she can throw.
  • Cuber2906Cuber2906 Member Posts: 256 ★
    funny no one mentioned guardian , a decent to high sig guardian makes a joke of tht fight.
  • Fara_Fara_ Member Posts: 87 ★
    Any tech works. Bastion melts her. Nimrod melts her. Bait sp1, interrupt her channeling, intercept to remove protection. Profit.

    Intercept her. That’s really all you need to do.

    Everytime I hit into her then backdraft light she hits me 1st. it's so frustrating and I don't recall this happening in any other fight, am I crazy?

    I mentioned it in my comment above. She shallow evades my medium intercepts, that is why i kept pushing her to sp 1 and baited it for a risk free opening. Solvarch is even worse, he always beat me to the intercept and was a nightmare. I had to switch to incinerate immune cosmics and parry him. That is its own problem because incinerate immune champs jave energy based specials.

    guardian, sentinel, warlck. ironheart...lots of good options.
    her sp1 is soooo easy..

    Thankfully she didnt had the pointless incinerate node like the other quest.
