    You have two choices really - our damage the regen or heal block it.

    If you parry (Just make sure you’re aware that the parry won’t stun) and then get your heal block off - Gulk Sp1 for example - you can fight normally. Make sure you dex backwards to trigger buffet while they’re healblocked to make sure it’s a ‘free’ buffet. Rinse and repeat.

    • Outdamage them
    • Try not to parry and bait heavies
    • Sabertooth + killmonger synergy
    • Resonate mastery

    Buffet and Masochism are everywhere in the game beyond Act 5. War, EQ, Act 6...everywhere.

    You can use heal reversal champs to turn the nodes against the enemy. You can use champs that are resistant or immune to nullify to stop buffet. You can use champs that reduce ability accuracy or prevent debuff shrugging for masochism. Or you can use high damage champs to simply outpace their regen.

    However you decide to do it, learn it well because Act 5 contains probably the easiest fights in the game that use these nodes. Good luck!

    Duped Archangel. Reduces AA and Heal Blocks, so he's pretty much a perfect counter.

    Learn not to rely on parry. Block, punish special, punish heavies. Once you can do that its easy, and you can rock the AW bosses to.

    If you have a debuff heavy champ, use him. That’s what I did for a bit of it and make sure you have despair running. Minimum 1 point but 2 helps more.

    If not you’ll need to learn to not parry as some said above. This helps a lot for future content. You’ll thank yourself later.
