What's really annoying is that he is the mini more often than the others and with this passive AI it's just ridiculous, when is "fix" coming? How helpful will this "fix" be? 15% buffet is over 30k health recovery, and if you don't one shot him the chances he gets healed back are extremely high. They really need to take a look at that way too op mini.
I didn’t see it mentioned here but Red Hulk is a great solution to this fight. Rulk doesn’t gain any natural buffs, and the incinerate actually is a benefit for him. Build HT to just below L1, back off and either parry or intercept and push him with combo to L2. Hitting him after his L2 will incinerate you and allow you to build the heat charges to 10 pretty quickly. You can speed up heat charge generation using Rulk L1. With a R5 5* or R2 6* he will actually go down pretty quickly once you reach 10 heat charges.
If you are worried about a dex giving him the regen on buffet, just turn off dexterity in your mastery. This is generally a lower cost option than using revives and potions if you aren’t confident you won’t trigger dexterity. HT SP2 is not too bad to evade without dex, just takes some practice on timing, and you can either block or parry HT sp1.
I’ve done this fight many times using the above tactics using Red Hulk. Void would work here too as others have mentioned. Hope this helps.
Hes bleed immune which .makes most skill champs that would be counters like Blade less effective. He has buffet so he gains HP EVERY time you dodge and use dex! If u dont dex his Level 1 he gains heat then u die from incinerate! Then u give him boosts to make his incenerate worse.....seriously hes too powerful. There are limited incenerate immune champs at least Hyperion didnt have buffet and you could power lock him. This boss is harder than the final! At very least take off the buffet node so he doesnt penalize us for using dexterity. The Buffet with all rest of his abilities is too muc

I feel you, I’ve seen others struggle with him. But he’s not that bad if you strategize. 1. From my champ collection, I find Void to work best. Play a bit defensive to stack up petrify then fight like you would any champ and dex often to benefit from buffet. You don’t to worry much about Nova. When he hits 7, just parry until it goes into cool down. FYI my r4 Void gets it done.
2. Those that recommend Aegon, there’s a trick with him to make him viable. Don’t build combo past 150 or close to it before the fight. Ideally 100, at most 110 to ensure you can shrug of the incinerate debuffs. Dex immediately before the fight to trigger buffet and then trigger your fury by charging heavy while hitting into his block. He should be half health by the time your fury expires. Repeat cycle.
3. I’ve had success with Stark Spidey. Build max poise charges at the beginning. He’s able to outdamage some of the regen if you strategize, namely; Stick to your sp1, if possible push him to sp2, if he uses sp1 based on how the fight is going block it...your auto-evade should evade most of them anyways.
4. CAIW max sig should work if you have a Tech synergy, stack some petrify and use buffet to your advantage.
I’m there are other champs out there that works as well.
This week, we’ve moved back down to map 5 from map 6 so today was the first time I’d had a run against the 2nd HT mini in map 5 in maybe 2 months. I used Quake (5/65) and the fight was over in under a minute. Had alliance members try with Warlock, Omega Red and Nick Fury with no success.
I will say that buffet does make him a bit trickier, but Quake is probably the easiest counter.
Agreed!! This 2nd mini is way overdone!! Buffet or bleed immune need to be removed. Makes it very ugly for players stepping up from Map4 into map5 to come up against this guy with only a handful of good counters for that node
Even as a veteran of this game and a boss killer myself, the map 5 second HT mini with 15% buffet sucks (unless you have Void, which I do not). Add the master mode "Kinetic Transference - 2" and it's a never ending cycle of sp1's. Oh wait, it does end... when we step away from the game because of this.

torch is too much. every week he’s the mini my ally really struggles to take him down. i ranked up my void for this fight and if you slip up once the fight is over. i have yet to one shot him. the game really needs to step away from fights where only champ x,y or z are the only options for fights. skill > roster

I oneshot him every time with havok, pretty straightforward-ish fight. Just tell your ally members to try havok and you'll see

Agreed, the 15% health regen is ridiculous. At this point it’s not even a skill based fight but a fight requiring specific champs which makes it nearly impossible unless there’s someone in the bg that brings a counter.
The only proper counter for this mini I've found is Quake and let's face it, Quaking is not a cup of tea or even a mug of beer IMO. I can take on every mini except this one only because his nova flame comes on and burns the **** outta everyone...
I use Void or Quake, no dexing. Probably Havok works as well. With those counters he is pretty doable and in AQ you only need one person to bring these Champs so I'm okay with HT as a miniboss cause I already brought Quake as my doom killer. But I get that If you aren't a Quake or Void player he's really anoying.
I have just fought this human torch with Silver surfer who is incinerate immune and I took incinerate damage. I also hit him with the unblockable sp2 (it even said unblockable) and he blocked it. Anyone help with this?

I used CMM + NF to take him down too.
