Are there Necro Knull counters that can handle multiple fights?

I recently did my first right side run of Necropolis. Far from perfect but I was happy enough with how it went, except for Knull. Couldn’t afford a team slot for a counter and went in with 7* r1 Chavez hoping she’d do good enough, and he was almost a quarter of my total revive usage in the run (9/40). I’d like to avoid that and bring a counter for my remaining runs, but I really don’t want to use up a precious team slot on a champ like Abs man or Wiccan who only handles Knull and nothing else (Wiccan does phase 4 GM I guess but that’s whatever). Is there any other options I could use that aren’t benchwarmers for most of the run, even if it’s just 1 or 2 extra fights?
And yes, I know Aegon can do it. I also hate using Aegon and don’t want to rank him up just for 1 or 2 Necro runs. If it comes down to use Aegon or eat dirt against Knull I’ll genuinely take the latter option. I just want to know if there’s other choices before I get my spoon out and dig in.

Like u mentioned wiccan, but he can also do path 4 galan, and phase 3 gm too if u can play on 1 health so i wouldnt consider him a complete benchwarmer
wong can also technically do it, but its very all or nothing because its a health race to ramp him against knull cause hes kinda finicky
Wong. He can also solo Squirrel Girl, Spidey99, and Shocker
doom really makes the silver cent fight super easy.
You can bring wiccan for path 4 he can handle both galan and knull.
@HungaryHippo @victor158 you mind elaborating a little more on Kate? I did indeed have her on my last run (why else would I have Chavez) but I never even bothered trying her. I figured Knull’s true accuracy preventing evade and Kate’s need to land heavies to refresh her trick arrows would mean quickly dying to the necrotic boon damage, and the fact that the opponent almost always responds to being knocked down into the wall with an immediate sp1 didn’t sound fun either with Knull’s corruption. I’m almost certainly bringing Kate for my other runs anyways so if she does good enough I’ll just use her.
For Shocker, parry then immediately throw a light to get close enough to heavy. Throw the SP1 as soon as the first hit of the heavy connects so you have enough time to land the arrow before the crushed ends.
Normax’s run on yt:
My questions is, does wong do same great support for other paths ? I have never used aegon and dont want to learn new tactic again for just the sake of necro, unless wong isn't useful for other paths.
