Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch
We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

I'm running through this month EQ just want to explore Uncollected difficulty. How do to counter E.M.P Mod? Even CG is not immune to it.

If not anyone with a god sustainable power drain, anyone with little about of buffs or a shock immune champ.
But CMM also benefits from it, since she gets all charged up and gets into Binary before you know it. Then it's all kinds of fun for you.
EMP modification has 3 parts.
1. Trigger buff and opponent gains a charge
2. Opponent uses a special
3. You get a passive shock for each charge
So to handle this node, you need to tackle either 1, 2 or 3.
For 1, you need a champ that doesn’t trigger buffs. Red Guardian comes to mind as the only champ so far (I think) that doesn’t trigger buffs.
For 2, you are able to prevent the opponent from using a special through either not hitting him to give him power (eg Quake, Nebula etc) or controlling his power (eg OGV).
For 3, because it’s a PASSIVE shock, CG WILL take damage from it (read his description if you don’t believe me). So to tackle 3, you need to bring a shock immune champ (eg Thing Korg Doom etc to handle the shock part. Side note, Nebula doesn’t work as a counter for #3, but you’ll still gain 5 charges) or a champ that is able to handle passive damage (Hulk Rag is the only one so far iirc).
Once you understand how the node works, it’s pretty simple to think of how to tackle it.
1. Can Magik be a good counter since she power controls?
2. Mephisto with Dormammu synergy had 80% energy resistance, can i use him?
Meph with Dorm synergy works as well, but you won’t be totally avoiding EMP damage, nor healing from it through willpower. Therefore as the stacks increase, so will the damage taken.
Gulk is slightly different cause he regenerates back the health (hence subjected to recovery’s additional 15%) and gains additional attack which allows you to end the fight much faster.
Before that, i was usually using Ghulk.
Interesting. Maybe I didn't notice it due to willpower (or it doesn't work with passive damage)? Maybe I didn't notice it because Corvus ended the fight so fast, so it was a non-issue for me. Plus, mine is awakened, so... who cares about passive damage. (not flexing, I actually didn't have an issue with this node).
