How do you handle this node

Just don't get touched or don't hit while it's up. Intercept or creat distance, whatever you need to do.

If you have good intercepting skills... intercept so that you don't get hit.
Otherwise, if your intercepting isn't on point, see below (Copying and pasting from my comment in another thread).

Non intercepting options.
1) Dex them, this often runs into the problem of getting backed against the wall, which often means you have to hit back to push them back, a full combo won't see you to the end of the shield phase, so unless you got yourself out of the corner or dex there, you're dead. If your intercept game isn't great I suspect your dexing in the corner game is probably similar.
2) Easier option, simply parry during the shield phase. You can probably do 3 parries and then start attacking even before the shield timer expires, so that your combo carries you into the cooldown and you're safe to do parry combo style.
3) Mix the above if you don't want to keep taking all that parry damage.

Either way, you want to maximize the time you are doing damage, so just remember you can always start attacking during the shield if your full combo or full combo plus chained special will take you into the cooldown.

Be careful of damage over time. If you have DoT on the defender during the active shield and they contact you, it will be reflected onto you.

it’s actually pretty easy. Hitting into block is an excellent way to kill shield time

Intercept !!

Thanks everyone! 🙏

I thought when it said “...makes any contact” that meant hitting into blocks also!

If you have torch, save him for the boss. That nova flame made it soooo easy

I was lucky and had Ghost.
She gives you more leeway.

If you aren't great at intercepting, take it slow and easy while the sheild is on.

I don’t know, I am still in act 5 but from what I read I think max sig Namor would be great

Well I can’t say he’s the best option, but he bypasses stun immunity with his heavy spam and also he made damn near no contact at all. The damage is low as he took a whopping 120 hits, but still got it done decently
I used r1 domino cause everyone else KO. Took off 82% in 150 hits. Not the worst

Used Ghost without suicides. It was a one-shot but took 80 hits and Kingpin did not want to throw his sp1.

I did it with r4 sig 34 with only 3%hp.
For the boss fight always push him to sp 1 and hit his block and he will throw sp 1 and do not be afraid of that global node. Its very easy . Just dont take any block hit . Key is to intercept which is very easy in case of king pin. Also I advice to take him down now cuz once his buff comes live he will be more hard to kill.
Just don't take any block hit . Dodge and intercept is all you can do and any damage dealer can do it just don't bring and bleed champ or you will die

It does, so although it will kill time and generally keep your opponent at distance so that you get more dexes in, if you make a mistake, you get the damage reflected back. The benefit of hitting into block is to push him to an sp1, which is easily evadeable and can be punished. However, if your instinct is to parry when he comes back at you, you will get hurt.

120 hits looks heavenly compared to my run, which was about 250-300 hits using omega red, hitting into block and spamming sp1, still a solo is a solo

Hitting into blocks should also be done carefully cause if he touches you even on your block you will get damage back.
I used domino for this fight.

Ghost and quake cheese that. But I suppose that's pretty much everything so that's kinda terrible advice lol. I would just avoid dot personally, anyone can work just gotta make sure u don't get hit through the block or hit in general IF you have already done dmg during the shield timer. If u block and then AFTER do dmg during the shield timer the dmg won't reflect then tho, it only does reflect if the opponent were to touch your block/hit you after you were to hit them during the shield timer. Intercept, dance around while parrying attacks. Do that and it shouldn't be too bad to deal with.

I wonder how the fight would look once kingpin gets buffed....
