Masochism and Buffet and Bane

What are the do's and dont's of these three. Cause I can't figure out what to do and what not to do. Every time it costs me items and/or units and I would really like to minimize this now that I'm working to finish Act 5. Please help. Thanks. :-)

Buffet. Use champs that don't rely on buffs. Ghost Rider is a god on this because his regen doesn't trigger buffet.

Masochism. Use champs that don't apply debuffs or strong Regen champs that can just power through. Angela is a great example

Bane is all about your skill. You need to time your attacks. If you don't you will die fast. That means stunning your opponent with s parry and letting it run down a tick to perfectly time the bane expiration with your slow combos. Champs that work well here though consist of power gain champs like Hyperion, champs with long specials like nebula, and stun champs like hulk.

Morningstar. She hard counters Buffet and Mas.

She makes them heal much less and every time either effect triggers, she gains a regen buff, every, single, time.

If you don't have her then @mum_m2 is correct for the most part.

Someone who inflicts ALOT of DOA debuffs like X-23 for example are great for Masochism. Since her bleeds happen fast and often, it triggers Mas every time but since he bleeds are strong and with Despair even on one, it cuts the healing AND alot of the times opens up Parry to be used as Mas itself is on cool down. She can cut Mas down easy.

Arachangel cuts down both effects easily. First off he can stop them from triggering if you have enough Nero's and being awakened and second, if they do trigger, they don't heal.

When it comes to Bane I found the best way to deal with it is about halfway through the Bane timer, kinda hang backa nd bait a special out. You should be able to refresh the timer but it does depend on who you're fighting. If it's someone with a fast special like Cyclops then you don't need to wait long, if it's like voodoo SP1 then you gotta wait 2.5 years for him to finish. It's best to time it based on who you're fighting.
Another way is to use Parry to your advantage. I tend to wait for the timer to be at about 2/3s over then parry. I would wait for the parry stun to just time out before I even attack, I wait for it to get close to ending then attack that way Bane will refresh during a 5 hit combo.

Buffet you can't really help most of the time due to Dexterity so just try to play around that. Just play normally with most champs and they'll die sooner or later. Any champs you can use with Heal block or Reversal will greatly help.
