I used Kitty (awakened), Just used only sp2 to avoid meltdown if I inflict Bishop with incinerate debuffs or passives, you can just phase the damage from Hurt locker node when it triggers, same with meltdown node and Bishop's specials. just phase everything with kitty.
Psylocke makes it so easy. You need to dex one sp2 but after than he’s powerlocked and can’t do anything. Hurt locker is the only thing you need to worry about. Your heavy burst won’t do too much as I believe it’s energy damage.
IHulk making an appearance and showing us why he was so good for SoP. Once the AI finally decides not to block the whole time, I hulk just needs one good stack of rage to start then you can go crazy. The power gain is nice so you can fairly reliably get 2 or 3 sp2s in a row. While unblockable it’s fine to let bishop use an sp3 if you need to, in order to keep rage going.
Magik cheeses this fight. By hitting his block he gets Regen, which turns into free power via MD. Race to sp2, play aggressive and loop sp2 and sp3 spam. Fairly easy solo, plus she is an x man so free objective.
I've just done it with iBom and let me tell you, it's not a good time. Dealing with the incinerates from the SP1 is a struggle. More so when he launches it right after reviving. Even if you go straight into block.
Honestly, he was pretty easy and the objectives were easy.
Sub 1-minute solo with iHulk - covered science and tank objectives. Easy solo with Kitty - covered X-Men solo.
What rotations of specials did you use for kitty
I only threw 2 SP2s throughout the fight (the 2nd one killed him so didn't have to think about hurt locker). I was just phasing his specials (wanted him to keep throwing SP1 so I could get max prowess) and hitting into him with combos. I only threw my first SP2 when the max prowess + phased special 2 lined up. 2nd sp2 came in when it was obvious it would KO him.
I wouldn't worry too much about using specials. Just phase when the meltdown timer is about to expire on you and negate that damage. Then you can just focus on maintaining 3+ prowess to phase Bishop's specials. It'll be slower/longer than trying to weave in specials, but you'll also be super safe.
Rulk, Apoc and Colossus ... much much much easier than anticipated .. only 3 revives because well i just didn't want to start over after taking half his health lol
Magik was amazing for this, especially if you put a 200% mystic boost on because you can just throw SP2 all day and she'll recover all of the damage she takes back, while essentially ignoring hurt locker so you can keep bishop locked down. And when you do hit Sp3 (i run MD5 so it happened a lot), the damage is amazing and you build back to an SP2 super quick too. This was a solo (well technically not - it should have been, but at less than 10% and me at full health, she decided to walk right up to him after i threw an sp3 even though I was holding block. That was the most "painful" part of this fight as it happened throughout multiple practice runs with Magik, Apoc and Colossus. It happens on occassion throughout the game, but for this fight, it was almost a 50/50 coin toss with how much it was happening).
APOC did well - took me 2 revives as I hit the walk issue after getting him to 50% and didn't want to stop since he was going to be incinerate immune then.
I don't understand why Bishop's main queue to start dexing gets cut off by the screen. More than 1/2 the time, when he pulls his hand back and his hand starts glowing, it is happening outside the scope of what I see on the screen. I don't play with music or audio so the visual queues are really important.
One shot with 6* R4 Overseer. SP1 stun can help you get around hurt locker and drive Bishop to SP2. If Bishop uses enough specials, special concussion kicks in and can prevent incinerates from SP1.
Few attempts with Kitty, can't quite get the rotation down. Gonna keep trying with her, it is good practice for me.
Did a few attempts with iHulk, managed to only get Bishop to 70%. But.... on my last attempt, the AI worked out where I got SP2 > SP1 with stun > SP2, and managed to get 25 rage stacks and the Solo.
