Side quest kindred counters

Hey guys does anyone fighted the kindred boss on the side quest? You can't place much debuffs on him and he has inverted controls for the full fight, any good counters?

Solo’ed it twice so far with Onslaught using an SP3-SP2 rotation and Heavy punishing Kindred’s SP2.

My issue is that i don't have champs that have psychic shielding (aside of a maxed out red mag)

1% Hercules worked for me! 6R5 Max Ascended Hercules with 6* Gamora Relic running on Suicides. Heavy start to SP2...then brute!

Onslaught cooks..

Use juggs just don't dex and try to push kindred to sp2 and punish him after the sp2 it will pause the timer
During that degen outbreak do heavy it will cause it to end faster.

Tried with Moondragon 7stars too and defeated him on Lvl3 to get Dust lvl 1.

Now I will go to Lvl5 to get Dust lvl 2

Some says Dragon Man and Ebony Maw are great counters

If you choose a different difficulty level than you have already done you’re not gonna get any of the rewards for the exploration of the vaults. You have fully explore every vault in ONE Threat level, cannot change it, otherwise you miss out on rewards.

I used Dragon man, need a revive in 3 of my runs, 4th attempt went smooth

Since when a side quest with cheap reward become ridiculous hard like this???

Hambone was pretty easy. Use MLLLL to keep it simple with reversed controls. When you have an evade charge, hold block and use it to avoid Kindred’s sp1. Because you’re rooted anyway, you can still dash in to punish. Save a special for the last phase…

What’s the strategy for last 5%? Will be rooted and Kindred cannot be knocked out for 5 sec which seems like an eternity!

Used Nimrod and was all good until last 5%. Anyway to bypass Kindred last phase?

dust works great for kindred

Double keys this week, so you can explore 2 difficulties

Far from my best attempt out of the 4 but all 4 were solo's, I know not a lot of people will have her but she crushes it, you can just stand Infront of him blocking his sp1 and pause the degen timer by punishing the sp1

@Kabam Miike, Jax, there’s been a bunch of these posts and no official response yet. I get you probably can’t change anything now, but would like to understand the mindset. I know some people are getting solos but this feels much closer to a Winter of Woe fight than anything that’s been in the side quests recently.

I think it's a good chance to practice playing inverted, but you're right, he's so bad and is killing me every time haha

Make sure you hold a special for when you get rooted there.

The best counter is not too play

@MrSakuragi thanks, I finally got it after multiple times. This Kindred fight is pretty challenging but the positive is that I now understood how Kindred works. Stay away when nightmare mode is activated, and have a relic or special ready in the last 5%. It’s about timing and being patient. Not perfect everytime but a much improved player.
