Who are the best counters to Omega Sentinel?

in General Discussion
Also would BWCV be a good counter with her incinerate immunity and buff immunity?

    Anyone that can reliably armor break or one of the Magnetos. Claire would be okay at best, but you will probably get autoblocked at least once prior to buff immunity. That and the way that Omega Sentinel is built is fairly anti-Claire. Yes, you can get immunity to the incinerate, but still get wrecked by the combo coming after you get stunned. Claire also loses out on power gain benefits because Omega is not immune to any of her debuffs (and will regen from them instead) and you can’t nullify her buffs so no power gain there either aside from however many you can remove from buff immunity. Claire just wouldn’t be Claire against her.

    someone who can bypass autoblock, who can armor break or reduce her ability accuracy
    Herc, hulkling, galan Medusa Vision aarkus, Corvus knull, odin, vpool Thor are cosmic counters.
    Nebula is a tech counter
    Falcon, moleman (true strike), KM (true strike) are safe skill counters
    Capiw with cosmic syn is a good science counter
    tigra, rintrah, wiccan are good mystic counters.

    I use Peni Parker or Silver Surfer (both have incinerate immune) but Silver Surfer use the incinerate as a debuff that increases his attack.. get power gain + fury + armor up then sp2 to get unblockable..

    Ahh ok so basically she would be ok but not a great “counter” itself.

    I’ve done some practice against my own OS and there’s a way you can get to incinerate while only giving OS 4 armors as well as SP1 which you can bait then just stick to incinerate immunity + SP2 spam.

    OS won’t regen from incinerate either, but overall I get your point that she isn’t ideal.

    Herc slaps her, sp1 to prevent auto block then sp2 while she has armor for the extra massive red numbers
    Even if you prevent Autoblock you still get incinerated
    Yeah immortality will save you tho

    I’ve used BWCV with no problems vs her. You might have to bait out a special or two from OS but Once you use your L2 and get the buff immunity debuff on, you’re golden.

    Omega Sentinel is immune to ability accuracy modification effects from Mutants.

    Claire works, but my go-to for OS is Knull. Class advantage, armor break, and when awakened you can reverse OS healing from bleeds.

    I typically use tigra.

    OS healthpool is really low so one sp2 usually KO’s her

    Have you used BWCV a few times against her then?

    Using light medium light medium combos is the best counter, with any champ

    Yes, you need to get to SP2 as soon as possible while giving her as little armor ups as possible. The problem with Claire is that while she can prevent OS from getting armor ups, she can't nullify them off of her because OS is immune to nullify. So it is buff immunity or nothing. And because OS is not actually immune to bleed or poison, Claire can't get charges back that way, which also makes things difficult if the fight lasts too long.

    Herc as mentioned a few times already. Knull is also a good option. Just stick with mediums, heavies and SP1 and she can’t auto-block.

    Have you noticed with CGR that his dash back is too short? I can dex the SP1 with everyone else except for him?…

    CGR as well. Oh well if you get auto blocked once so long as it's not in bgs for your opponent will have parry mastery

    galan. immediately get to harvest to get unstoppable/stun immune and you dont have to worry about her autoblock. give her as many armorups as she wants and red blip her to death.

    If you get auto-blocked in story/event quest, would you still not get stunned?
