    Try spamming M.O.D.O.K. heavy after parrying for incinerate damage and then use his special 1 after power build-up. Rinse and repeat.

    I use Sentinel and just stay on his special 1, it usually heals more than any damage I've taken

    You can spam his heavy as well. I've done that before on thorns.

    I do that path and switch between Brie Larson, Sym supreme or quake depending on who is placed.
    Some use namor, HT or Omega red.

    are energy attacks always non-contact? I was under the assumption that contact vs non-contact was a seperate category from physical vs energy attacks.

    Stealth suit spiderman. His regular combo has 2 different non contact hits. As well as his heavy also having 2 non contact hits...

    No
    Energy and non contact are different. Last I checked magneto still takes damage.

    Non contact would be like Yondu hitting with his arrow, domino using her gun or anyone else who hits without their firsts/arms making contact with the enemy.

    Where as physical vs energy damage are mainly to allow for different types of resistances to work in different ways

    that's what i thought. so why champs who make a physical contact with energy damage (ex: human torch) are not taking thorns damage?

    if energy damage doesn't make contact, they shouldn't take reflected damage from Electro.
    if it does make contact, they should take damage from psychic thorns.

    i don't know if it's a bug or just wrong description of the node

    Use starky and heal with sp 2.
  • RiderofHellRiderofHell Posts: 4,394 ★★★★★
    Psychic thorns you heal as well with non contact special

    Hype spamming SP 1 works. Blade works depending on who the defender is. You can parry/bleed for power and then spam SP 2. Better options have already been listed.

    Imiw is actually great for it. MLLLL combos. Throw in sp1 as well. No problem, usually walk out of that section with a yellow bar.
