Best AW boss

I remember a previous poll that Morningstar (if I'm not mistaken) was voted the best AW boss. But now with the changes to MD and the addition of new champs, who do you feel is the best champ to place as boss?

    Wasp to me would be a bad ass boss. I haven't seen her yet but her evades are so random with that shock that I believe she could be the next Medusa (more and more people are getting used to Medusa)

    Bait the heavy and the evade goes into cooldown. She's a good defender, but she's pretty manageable.

    You need to mention your tier... with the right champs, you can solo all of them ... i still see 1 or 2 kills on medusa bosses though

    1 or 2 kills for Medusa? We usually get 10+ with our r5 5* Sig 100+ Medusa as Boss.

    Tier 7-8 AW

    Blade should be on this list.

    imiw - armor, autoblock, powergen. number of champs, who can handle him relatively easy, is lower, then for medusa, whom you can take down with anyone suitable for imiw and any good nullifying champ (say hood, sw)

    I am in tier 2 ... most bosses get soloed.

    Medusa right now in the current state of the game I believe is still the best, mystics took a hit from the MD nerf. Modok and KM aren't that good a choice with all the blades running around.

    Right now I’d say Korg. Teammates r4 5* just got us 46 kills but I’m sure that’ll drop considerably once people are used to him. Medusa is pretty easy these days.
  • Maldroit2Maldroit2 Member Posts: 739 ★★★
    You still can't beat the classics like Ultron. He's got double immunities, a random evade, and a good regen that pairs well with stun immune nodes. But I also like Modok.

    Medusa replaces Dormammu post MD nerf. She still gets soloed by Morningstar and others in tiers 1-3.

    Voodoo would destroy Korg as main AW boss. His signature ability reduces thorns ability accuracy and Korg’s ability accuracy to shrug off debuffs by 50%. Voodoo’s power burn also bypassss thorns 100%. Throw in adaptive and Voodoo’s spirit poison damage is massive against Korg

    Yeah I’m sure it’s just cause he’s new right now but our Medusa’s were 50/50 whether or not she did anything for us. Just too many options to use against her.

    @Vincew80 Don’t get me wrong Korg is a top tier defender. Before the MD nerf 5/65 Dormammmu was the best AW boss. I asked multiple tier 1 players for advice on how to fight him using Gulk, best answers I got were use an invulnerability boost and use Magik.

    5/65 Medusa is the best AW boss but gets owned by 4/55+ Morningstar with 5 souls and also gets soloed by 5/65 Ghost Rider/Hyperion. All other tier 1-3 AW boss options get soloed by more champions than can solo Medusa.

    @DTMelodicMetal Yeah dorm was one of them I hated to see because I had no good options for him. I always use GP against Medusa. Takes a bit to get the combo up but after that she’s a cake walk. With that said guys without a good option really struggle against her. KM is another Medusa killer.

    Tier 8-9 - Sentinel R4 5* awakened -gets enough kills to remove the atttack bonus and sometimes more

    We've placed my 5/65 duped Sentinel as my BG's main AW boss in tier 4. He usually got 4-5+ kills and has never been soloed, though a super skilled booster took him down with only 1 death using 5/65 Blade.

    You know how that goes. For every great defender there’s a few champs that’ll make them look easy no matter how hard you plan your defense. Lol

    If we’re talking main AW boss Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Dr. Voodoo, Killmonger, Gwenpool, and Morningstar can solo IMIW without boosts. Other champs like Medusa, Crossbones, Elektra, Karnak, Heimdall, and Cap IW also do well against IMIW.

    IMIW. There are multiple effective counters to one shot Medusa. IMIW has difficult to evade specials. An honorable mention should go to Domino because of her unavoidable damage and she can evade.
