Photon is one of the next SoS bosses...thoughts?

Surely it'll be fun 🤗

Hopefully she’s similar to the Onslaught fight, no hard nodes, just a big Photon

Pikolu · September 6

Just imagine she has sp1 lock and is in permanent pure light form. Learn the sp2 parries or die

I don’t think you can even parry her sp2. You can only parry the sp1

EdisonLaw · September 6

On Photon’s official page, it says the final hit of her sp1 is passively unblockable except against well timed blocks. However it doesn’t say that on her sp2

You indeed can’t. In pure light form, the last hit of Photon’s sp1 is unblockable except against well-timed blocks, giving you a bit of an out. On the other hand, sp2 is just straight up unblockable on all hits, no mercy.

Correct. Her Sp 2 while in PLF is unblockable, undexable. Only awakwned Shuri can block it. And Sinister, and Stryfe I think.

She's gonna be thiiiiiicckkkk lol

phillgreen · September 6

Last two have been pretty cruisy so my revive stash is looking good for this one.

Ercarret · September 6

My guess is that she'll be kind of a "Let's teach the community how to fight her properly" type of defender. I think she'll have more nodes on her than Onslaught had since she's still been out for just over a year at this point, but I doubt that it'll be one of those fights with a super intricate combination of nodes.

I'm actually kind of exciting. A lot of these "OMG, how am I going to beat that champ!?" fights have been a fun learning experience. It's taken quite a lot of sweat, pain and tears, but I've ultimately learned valuable lessons from it. Hopefully it'll be the same this time.

I'm actually a bit more wary about Toad. He's the type of defender that can be really annoying while simultaneously not quite hard enough to warrant a "Let's take it easy with the nodes this time" approach from Kabam's side. That can lead to a very annoying fight.

a bonus for this fight is i remembered she is unduped, saw it somewhere on twitter. So she will still be an annoying fight, but at least she wont have that BS block damage from the duped

Archit_1812 · September 6

There's an interesting part I saw on YouTube: if you whiff a light attack, Photon's timer begins for activation of Pure Light Form. Strike into block when she reaches 10 charges and she has at most 1/2 a bar of power, then play defensive. If it comes to, block sp1, do not push to sp2. and boom, pure light phase bypassed in 10 seconds.

Will be interesting which nodes and objectives this Photon brings, i am afraid it could be a massive pain lol

Let's hope she's not like Absorbing Man

If we are asked to use Deathless Vision I might delete the game.

Possible but we might be able to use him vs Toad

Nightheart · September 6

At least it's not Serpent

As long as the nodes aren't too bad we're all good. I hope I can use kate bishop for one if the objectives

We might see him as the final SoS gauntlet boss though, it's possible

At least there's some silver lining 😂

I hope it will be simple as that 😂

I think it be parry the sp1 hits or take damage like we have seen with viv and anniluhs

JK_47 · September 6

What madness is this... LOL
Don't give KABAM ideas...

Right

we could also have the steadfast node for every 10 hits in combo you get steadfast buff
