Human Torch for Abyss Korg?

I’m getting ready to start on abyss exploration and trying to plan out path 2.. I’m wondering, would Torch be a viable option for Korg since he doesn’t take thorns damage and builds smolders from his sp1? I’d like to bring Stealthy in my 5th spot for Luke Cage, but that leaves me without a spot for a Korg counter. My other champs being Ægon, Fury, Morningstar. Thoughts/ experiences?

Easy with Claire.
On paper, IMIW is one of the best Korg counters. But as the fight prolongs, you’ll have difficulty inflicting plasmas on Korg as each plasma reduces the chance to inflict an additional plasma by 20%. You also can’t combine incinerate and shock cause he’s immune to shock.
Similarly, using OR, because of -100% AAR on regular attacks, parry heavy (with maxed pacify on) works around 30% of the time. But that’s under the condition that you can get your heavies out in time before your spores start to expire, and there’s no guarantee that you inflict degen on him.
So yes, on paper, in theory, both work. But in a practical sense, there are limitations that severely restrict the feasibility of both options. Hence, showing us a video will help.
