Monicas special attacks

Ok so while Monica is in her pure light form, special attacks cannot be dodged with dex.

A little annoying but you can just tank it into block right? WRONG!

These special attacks become unblockable and undodgeable while pure light form is active.

Basically you will get hit, you will take damage, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Doesn’t really seem like a fair game mechanic. Completely unavoidable damage.

It says right there that the final hit can be blocked in pure light form. Thats something right (to be clear this is a joke. Apparently i need to spell it out every single time from now on)

Hoitado

Anyone else get the feeling that the OP is just trying to show that they know Photon’s Name?

Completely unavoidable?
Not really.

- There are Champions who can dodge without using the Dexterity Mastery (Nightcrawler, Quicksilver Invisible Woman, Silk, Spidey-2099, Vulture, and a couple of others)

- You could use Power Control champions to largely stop specials getting thrown in the first place

- You could use Evade champs - especially Gwen and Mr Fantastic, who are extra-good at Evading Unblockable; or Starky and Silk who are amazing at Evading Specials

- You could use Champions who can Block Unblockable (Shuri, Mr Sinister, Mordo)

- You could use Champions with specific Damage reduction mechanics -
- Awakened Thing
- Yellowjacket, Nova (Unblockable attacks have -70% damage)

Or use Champions with high Energy Resistance (Guardian, Havok, Bishop, Mordo again, Yellowjacket again)

So they're releasing a very powerful defender so they can eventually release a good counter for her later? At least I'm assuming that's what they're doing so they can incentivize people to buy both champions

Edit: I forgot there are champions that can use dexterity without the mastery as @Magrailothos pointed out. I guess that means we have counters, but I can't say I feel good about it

So it's like Heimdall's sp2? I still try dexing that.
