Would a DOT hero like Hawkeye or iceman be good against silversurfer?
That way if u knock him down, hopefully their DOT will catch him and kill him.

Also, would mephisto's special 1 be able to nullify the 'lifecycle' buff?
If not, then why not?

Thank u.

    Yes, DOT champs will work. I used Warlock sp2 to knock him down then the degen kills him. I also like Corvus on that node. Build to sp2 which is unblockable, knock them down then immediately launch sp2. Done!

    Dot doesn’t work, lifecycle blocks all dot apart from things like void or mr f with the synergy team as it’s not strictly dot, best options for him are heal block champs

    I can tell you with 100% certainty that Warlock degen kills him. Maybe because it's passive, but it definitely worked!

    Surfer is not necessarily at 1% (or 1 Health) when you fail to kill him. He regen's back up to 10%.

    Either use SP's that do a lot of damage (within 3.5 secs after knocking him down with a Heavy). Or you could get him down closer to 0 (but not enough that a subsequent knockdown would actually kill him), then after the knockdown you would just do another Combo and/or another SP within time to hopefully finish him off.

    Neurotoxin works exceedingly well.

    AA easily oneshot him so I used Hyperion and same thing

    AA dot works on him really great

    AA works great due to his heal block, keeping him at 1 health during lifecycle activation. After that, his dot do the job.

    Better question is how you handled the lifecycle and mighty charge path? In 3.1

    My son finished him with a 3* AA. He sucks right until you figure him out
  • doctorbdoctorb Member Posts: 1,957 ★★★★
    Thank you all who recommended AA!!
    I've tried several different heroes b4, including Ronan but could never do it.
    But with AA, I did it with my 4*.

    Now, any hints or suggestions for UC Aegon?
    I tried Hyperion but difficulty keeping the hit meter up.

    I used Domino with a 200% mutant power boost. That way you just get to an SP2, fire it off, get your special back, and that’s usually it. I was just too tired to do a 100 hit combo for multiple lane clears!

    Ghost also works if you have her and she’s high enough that each sp2 hit can take down 20%. If you do, try to heavy counter for the furies or use boosts
