Counter attacks count as intercept?

As the title said, conteur attacks from champs like Elsa or Mr. Negative count as intercept?

    They do, but not if you’re right next to the opponent. You need to be far away and let them dash at you, then it counts as an intercept

    OK, that explain why GMG Doom glances Mr negative counter attack.

    I see that you enjoy using Mr negative, so, have tried him against GMG's MOJO and Sasquatch?
    If yes, how were those figths?

    I haven’t used him against either, but Mojo should be fine. Nothing to worry about with those nodes, he just auto completes prompts and has some physical resistance.

    Prompts don’t worry Negative as you’ll regen from the degen if awakened (or reduce the potency of it even unawakened)

    Sasquatch is a different matter unfortunately. Disorient means your negative loses all his dark energy, and life cycle means your sp2 doesn’t do any damage. There’s hard knock life which reduces your chance of evade and also stops your dark energy as mentioned before.

    It’s theoretically possible, if you dex a ton to build light energy, or make Sasquatch parry you so you build light energy, then you could get to 20 dark energy and use your sp3 which still does damage on life cycle.

    If you managed to line everything up right, i think you could knock him down by baiting a heavy or sp2, use sp3 and manage to get him down. But it will be very, very tough. I’d recommend other options if I’m honest for that Sasquatch.

    I see, thanks you for the help.
