Is Apocalypse the most annoying defender ?

Many times I have seen Apocalypse being the final boss in AW in youtube videos. It seems he is really annoying defender like Korg and Mordo seeing those videos but whenever I fight against him there is nothing I find annoying about him. Even Kingslayer put him at 1st position in best defender. Why is it so ? Is he really as annoying as Korg and Mordo ?

I hate Domino the most tbh. Never ever had a super difficult time fighting an apoc, whether as AQ boss or alliance war boss or whatever.

Seeing mojo as a boss triggers my PTSD from Variant 6
I spent 300 units on him...

I agree. Domino is worse for me than Apoc for some reason. Actually it’s funny. I should record a Domino fight so everyone can laugh.

I think many people have their "nemesis" defender - sb they struggle with.

I for example H.A.T.E Doom. I can evade his sp1 but his very existence irritates me. The insane resistances, armor, no crits AND being punished for dexing his sp1 (dex -> buff -> shock -> risk of getting heavy b*tchslap) is a combo I genuinely dislike. I am lucky enough to have CAIW to keep him petrified, so that the shock isn't an issue too much

On the other hand, I used to hate NC and IMIW as well, so I believe this one will get better.

Korg. Still Korg. Always Korg. Even with counters, Korg.

People have adapted to him, but if you treat all of them equally, I find Korg the most tormenting.

Oh wait, I forgot to mention how much I hate fighting kingpin. I'd probably put him as the champ I hate fighting the most after Domino.

Qacob

As much as I like kingslayers content, his tier lists are far from perfect

Negative_100

He's not the worst for me. It's mainly his specials that I hate

Bendy

I think to me worse mini is doom or mojo as doom with his high armor and crit resist its just a long fight with apoc he has some crit resist but u crit more on apoc than doom, mojo as wrong prompts and u pretty much need to hopefully not get him to 5 prompts done or even 3 as the power gain is just annoying, all in all people have different opinions to which champ is the worse boss so to him it might be apoc that gives him and the ally trouble than other bosses like things

Lvernon15

Imo he’s far from the most annoying, especially with protect gone, though I can evade his sp2 reliably and can evade the sp1 most of the time and have plenty of counters

Hoitado

Domino, Mojo, Annihilus, Korg, Dragon Man are harder than him IMO

Deacon

Korg because Korg. I don't like fighting Domino on defense either because no fight is ever the same. Apoc is trouble but not scary trouble. Mojo can still be a pest.

ChaosMax1012

Apoc is ez and has a lot of counters. Mojo probably most annoying.

Jaded

Having the right counters for the defenders lowers the overwhelming feelings.

Back when domino was heavily used on defence I ranked up mysterio. Now it’s guardian.

Mojo melts with HT, just don’t dex.

Apoc is easy with a robot, g99/warlock/ghost. But he’s annoying once he gets 4 missions because of the random stun when blocking. The stun immune and stun the opponent when hit their block is new with apocalypse. Making him a meta changing defender. Not overly hard if played right, but can catch you if you aren’t thinking.

Why'd people disagree here? It's literally my personal preference, geez!

So that's the thing annoying about Apocalypse

The_HoTU

for me korg is the most annoying defender

zuffy

Korg is the worst. Just like the korg in gauntlet. Made me feel so little 😂

Ercarret

It's probably one of those "I haven't learned how to fight the new champ yet, so he's the hardest" rankings. Nothing wrong with that, but I wouldn't be surprised if he moves down the list with time. I personally find him really annoying in AQ, but I usually don't have too much of an issue in other content. If I have to fight him in EQ or something, I have more room to bring a good counter than I have in AQ.

I still can't dex his specials reliably, though. I always eat a ton of block damage, which is annoying. But at least they aren't unblockable...(KOOOOOORG *shakes fist*)

KM can be absolute hell to fight on certain nodes without a proper counter

Will3808

To answer your original question, I think the reason he’s listed as #1 has to do with the nodes he can be on in aw. If he’s got super high attack, messing up the dex on one of his specials can kill you very quickly. Along with that he has pretty difficult specials to dex. Also, you can’t hold block and then counter his heavy if he’s at 4 charges since he’ll stun you. Overall as a war boss he’s pretty annoying. I don’t think in general he’s the worst defender in the game but he’s definitely really annoying at times.

Will3808

Oh and since we’re listing who we like fighting the least my choice has to be mojo. I don’t have a wonderful counter for him and really stacked mojo’s are my nemesis. Really stacked Korgs can also be super annoying if I can’t bring in ghost or apoc (that’s better for me now though since I just pulled 5* apoc and don’t have to use my 4* in aq or variants anymore).

Badrose

Well, Domino is not difficult, unfortunatelu most of the time you loose half of your health even if you play perfectly. That's the only problem.

If I see a Korg... Hey guys, connection problems, can't fight sorry!

Real_Madrid_76_2

Apoc if you don't have tigra otherwise thing or nick

Ferahgo

No issues with apoc unless someone pushes him to 4 charges. Mojos probably my least favorite just cause I can't always avoid dexing the entire fight

Nojokejaym

Korg is the worst
