I'm sure this has been asked before but is there any actual way to counter Serpent?

I don't think I've ever had such a tricky time dealing with a champ before. To be honest, I just don't get how your supposed to deal with him other than getting lucky.

Power control champ like chavez works too. No sp3 at the end.
I have taken 7* r3 serpent boss in war with 7* r1 symbiote supreme.
Kindred is my «go to» for Serpent tho…his power gain is reduced to nothing and same is his regen and «2 life».
From what I hear the Ban button seem like the most affective way to counter Serpent.
Ah the logic of Kabam Rebalance team.
Or you can just try to bait specials?
Sp3 or sp1 straight to sp2 and then sp1 to gain the taunts then he’s good, and I use him all the time unduped.
Claire Voyant works for questing and AW, too slow for BG’s and timing the buff immunity right on Serpent needs to be accurate.
With a duped Chavez, I heavy 3 times immediately for the negative zone dimensions to power drain him. In VT meta, Serpent will only get to use s single special if you keep these dimensions open.
White tiger is also a beastly counter for duped serpent. If you get your sp2 bleed off while serpents death immunity is active, then you'll heal a lot of heal that you deny serpent and likely are going to be healing to full health. She also has excellent power control and is very safe for serpent.
Sym supreme is also a monster vs serpent after his sp3.
More safely you need mystics with stagger, atrophy and/or power control abilities. Even though Luke is decent any non mystic is still a plan B counter as they are limited on ability power rate reduction
He’s not the best option in bgs since he still takes a bit of chip damage and he’s not super fast (mine takes upwards of 80 seconds) but that’s still better than most champs tbh and he works very well in war where you can afford a bit of time and health loss.
P.s. in arena not bgs
And this guy, definitely top 5 best counters for serpent, r5a serpent but I got lucky he wasn't throwing any specials 2 sp2 and relic combo and he was done including immortality
I also normally use mojo for serpent so don't him as well with other counters.
Then you have to activate all three dimensions. If you are low on health, chain your special 2 with 2nd hit of heavy. For damage, chain your sp2 with first hit of heavy. Make sure to always maintain atleast 2 violet dimensions, especially when he gets to death immunity phase
When I play him I just try to do a little damage and just let him ko me because there’s no point in continuing 30 seconds for 5% health.
(And no I indeed did not pause the game, thats 60 seconds of absolute potato head skill issue gameplay)
I have never used Chavez against a stun immune that I can think of. 😂
I don't ban Serpent but my 6* gets banned even when the opponent has a 7* DUPED Serpent, that's how annoying he is at high sig.
