**KNOWN AW ISSUE**
Please be aware, there is a known issue with Saga badging when observing the AW map.
The team have found the source of the issue and will be updating with our next build.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
**KNOWN BG ISSUE**
We are aware of an issue with the seeding for the beginning of the BG season.
We are adding rewards to higher progression brackets to offset the additional grind.

**Arcade is being extra tricky with his Murder Box...**
It appears Arcade has been non-cooperative in his approach to this month's side quest and presented his clues in a nonsensical order. Lucky you, Summoners, we have our best and brightest on the case and those clues should now be a lot more straightforward. While messing around in Arcade's files we came across a phrase, highlighted and bolded, with sparkles and pointy arrows: "the abode for the dead" ... Maybe that will help you along the way!

Ironheart is underpowered and boring. Change my mind.

    altavista spoke facts, you have misplaced priorities go watch a bullseye damage rotation and ul see he is a pure defensive champ with some util, while he is great at what he does this game is very complex and u will need a good offense+defense. u say u want onslaught which leads me to think that u see him as a defensive threat since u paired him up with bullseye. well the champ you already have (ironheart) counters onslaught effortlessly.

    she is not a new beyond god tier but she is up there, be happy with what u got broski it aint that bad at the end of the day :]

    She's actually quite good, however her utility is still quite average in the tech class. Tracking, prowess removal, DOT, etc. Like the only unique thing about her is her pre fight to change from incinerate to rupture.

    The fact that you want Bullseye (primarily a champion you won’t use but just to place on defense) over Iron Heart (a champion you will use) shows a kind of misplaced priority. Even if someone were to sell you on how good Iron Heart is, it still wont do anything for you since you care just about defense.
    Someone’s underestimating Bullseye on offense…

    Am I missing something.?

    How does she counter onslaught?

    She can’t remove neuroshock because she’s metal
    She can’t prevent crushed - you still get hit with unblockable basic attacks when it’s up, despite supposedly 150% aa reduction.
    She can’t prevent daunted.

    That’s most of the annoying stuff that onslaught does. And she can’t handle any of it.

    She’s the only tech that can keep incinerate up indefinitely and therefore can get pauses from the Sentinel relic at all times. Don’t tell me that OS does this, because the incinerates take a while to put on, don’t last long, and are often plasmas instead. As for utility: incinerate and coldsnap immune, reverse controls immune, parries non-contact hits, first medium doesn’t make contact and cannot be evaded (like IMIW), easy heal block with despair, blocks unblockable specials from mutants, reliably counters miss, is very tanky, removes prowess, switches to rupture so that nobody can be fully immune to her, and counters Photon, Korg, Dust, and Onslaught. Combine this with her crazy damage, and she’s a fantastic tech champ.

    Oh wait. She can handle his sp2 reverse control if she has armor up. So..one thing?

    @Supersha7 She can also parry non contact hits.can apply ruptures for damage. Onslaught cannot apply duanter since his ability accuracy is reduced when hitting into ironheart block

    Not the best onslaught counter cuz you still can't purify his neuroshocks.

    She can prevent daunted. You need to have the tracking passive on him to reduce ability accuracy and parry non contact. Once you have that you can parry without gaining daunted.

    She’s meant to be an alright onslaught counter. Yes she’s metal, and cannot prevent the Crushed but she can parry non contacts and can change her damage from incinerate to rupture. It’s not like how IDoom destroys Bishop

    She should have been designed as a true hard counter for Onslaught.

    She falls into the good category but not elite camp.

    Her being a true hard counter would have been a game changer!

    She actually does counter several of his abilities. However, he's a slightly unique Mutant (like Red Magneto is, too) designed to resist being countered, in return.

    To be honest, I'd be surprised to see a full counter to Onslaught very soon.

    Ironheart can bypass his Incinerate resistance by switching to Rupture debuffs. Notably, Onslaught has negative physical resistance, so they'll do more damage than usual.

    She can't parry him at the start of the match; but once she's got Tracking up (six debuffs) she can Parry freely without collecting Daunted debuffs. So that just needs a little work, but is easy to maintain.

    If you need to block his SP1 (and haven't been practicing like crazy to dodge it in SoS), she'll reduce Onslaught's Neuroshocks/Organic Magnetism through block by half (he has 150% chance to Inflict them, which she reduces by 100%, leaving him a 50% chance).

    If she blocks a few hits in that way, as long as she's not Daunted, she can Willpower heal from Magnetism debuffs, to offset Neuroshock damage.

    As long as she's got Armour (which Onslaught can't remove, except via a Quest node), she can ignore the reversed controls on his SP2.

    As for the rest of the utility you can get out of her, here's Simula's video:
    https://youtu.be/FahvcjMwD7Q?si=rtZftz39P7VHdMuu
    She is a great counter for Onslaught but I still think the match up is bugged, she’s supposed to reduce offensive ability accuracy for mutants by 150% which should perfectly shut down onslaughts sp1 but for some reason it doesn’t work that way. I made a post about it but Kabam never responded to it.

    That's the confusing, ongoing circle of the Catch 22 conflict between Magneto, Onslaught, and Ironheart. She is supposed to reduce their abilities, but she's metal and they control metal champs by reducing THEIR abilities.
