He shouldn’t be stun immune vs robots,..by his write up he should be pretty much useless vs ALL robots. He can’t get a genetic code on robots,..should be able to parry him right off the bat and throughout the entirety of the fight with a robot.

His abilities state he starts with 1 genetic code. He gains an addition 2 if he's the boss of a quest. That puts him at 3 immediately, regardless of who you use, making him stun immune.
Just funny that ghost or sorcerer supreme (whom I have r5),..are not robots. But they will fare better then the robots,..even though apocalypses main weakness is ...er ...robots. Lmao,..it’s like uh okay Kabam .
It’s just very interesting that Kabam goes on about making ALL champs viable in the game,..yet here is there chance to make ALL robots viable against a AQ boss who’s main weakness is robots. And yet again they make it about a few champs,...they could have done justice to some champs without a rework or anything.
This was my first attempt at Map 6 Poco: https://youtu.be/8hzAjMgR-mU It seems like G99 is a good option, but since he's stun immune, you can't get the combo shields up without heavy countering which chews up your block. So if you get clipped, the fight's over. You're going to time out even if you play perfectly at that point cause vigor is so strong.
Keep in mind I took this fight with the 30 second poison and 200% attack boost on him so I shouldn't have taken as much damage as I did (not that it would've mattered with that final Sp1 that killed me.)
In order to conserve my data, @Etjama was it a solo? Btw, the combo shield from heavy isn't necessary either as apocalypse has fairly clunky animations and is quite easily predictable. Light intercepts is what I usually do in matchups where I can't stun.

Not a solo. Stun Immune is easy to play around, I was only talking about combo shields cause even though I'm getting the Sp1 evade down, I still can, and did mess up on the last beam of an Sp1 which meant I lost my combo and couldn't do enough damage to keep up with Vigor after that. Got him down to about 60%. I know I can get a solo though. I will get a solo. This was only day 2 of even trying to evade his Sp1, so I think I can get it down perfectly every time.
that’s how much fun we’re having. aq is turning into a unit drain just like war. i’m getting real tired of fights that have 2-3 counters. thanos was boring but at least you could bring almost anyone in your roster and have some fun. doom wasn’t horrible but still took a set few champs. now having emma frost and apocalypse both being super restrictive just sucks. this is only day 2 of quest so it’s just going to get harder. somethings gotta change so there can be more counters available.
I think for the first few weeks he’s just going to be an hour of Corvus timeout mainly, but eventually people will learn to evade his sp1 and then people will be soloing him with g99 or ghost or something every time

It’s a new fight and people aren’t used to it yet so everyone complains that it’s too hard. Yes you need the appropriate champs to counter, but he’s not impossible to solo at all.
642k on day 2, map 7. 2-3 counters. Regen every 15 seconds. Aq season created to buff mutants but apoc counters mutants. Not well thought out. Too much.
I just did this fight with sorcerer supreme, but unfortunately it was a timeout. Sorcerer could theoretically do it back-to-back with the timeout strategy because timeouts don't give apocalypse the fourth charge.
To agree with what everyone is saying, this fight is tough. At least when he was an EQ boss you got an attack boost for intercepting to help get him down there.
We got tired of doing map 6 all the time , and dropped down to map 5 to relax a bit. Was nice cause we didn’t have to bring champs from our top teams, now we have to for this absurdly overpowered boss.
Whats the point of even bringing mutants ? All that excitement I saw here with threads asking what teams they’d base their mutants/x men champs on, all the mutant benefits. Literally pointless, everyone in my ally is mostly bringing counter for apoc.
This AQ update is just stupid. Lets buff up mutants to entice you to use them, but then they're worthless vs the boss. Hello, Kabam, are you serious? With that said, once you learn to dex his specials it's not terrible, G99 Warlock and Ghost are being used in my bg, an vigor is a bit much.
He’s definitely a tough boss but the only change I think is necessary at this point is to increase the timer for vigor. Running map 6 and you get 20 seconds. The length of apocalypse’s specials eats up half the timer alone.
Doing relaxed map 5 and took magneto in to try him on day 2. Could easily have soloed him but quit out to try warlock. He isn't bad if you can evade special attacks and fight with intercept. Only real restriction is bring a heal block champ and we have plenty available in game.
Guys come on. Do you even try them before you put them? At map 7 if you add the epic modes is kind of ridiculous. Extreme block penetration, add nodes like cascadian failure or turn the tide and VIGOR(!!). Dont you think is too much? Remove at least vigor no one wants a stressful AQ.
The boss or any of the AI now in AQ (any map). You can’t block a lot of the time and if you can, you still take a huge amount of damage even if their PI is much less than yours. Same goes for hits, they hit you 2 or 3 times (light attacks) and you just lost 25%-30% of your health. It also seems like masteries no longer have much of an effect on our champs. Can you fix this before throwing out more content and over price horrible offers please??

Lmao,..it’s like uh okay Kabam .
Missed opportunity I guess,...again.
Just solo’d map 6 apocalypse with guilly 2099. His special 2 is the safest one to dex - the timing is the same as venom the ducks SP2.
Most of our alliance is experienced players around a 1M rating, and yet Apoc boss is still alive with 30 dead champs at his feet.
I wasn’t looking for more reasons to quit this game, but here we are.
Congratulations, Kabam. You played yourself.

My point is only that he’s solo’able with the right champs, and just trying to give a bit of insight into a method that’s worked for me

AQ is now stressful even for map 5
