Absorbing man

I have recently pulled him and have seen that the way to play is light intercept to apply vulnerability and then counter heavy with a heavy and then stop move with a special attack in the form you are. Tried this several times against WS but most of the time vulnerability was not applied?? Any other better way to play him? Anyone has experience the same issue?

So all this comes together without much effort if you do fights that trigger your immunity (particularly armor break). Fight Aarkus, Terrax or Annihilus. Also nodes that trigger incinerate cold snap, bleed , shock or poison if you use iBomb synergy ( you should). With these things pausing your form you’ll refine and never need to do a light intercept but you can.
Lastly, the heavy (without stun) into special has a great payoff but it’s not necessary. Just if you can weave it in. But there is a lesser bonus if they are stunned so if you need to parry, and then heavy into a special there is still a bonus .
So in conclusion the light intercept is just there to bail you out if you need it to pause the timer and the heavy cancel into a special is nice but not necessary. Focus on refining and using AM in the right match ups and you won’t be disappointed.
