  I'm also seeing him block after the first hit in his heavy is dexxed.
  
  I'm not sure I've unlocked that mastery yet...

  He is also blocking halfway through my heavy even with the node down

  It could be that I am not picking the right counters, but my early observations of this new fight are that the timing are off.
  
  I can't punish mid heavy because of the unstoppable (a mystic from 2020 with access to slow doesn't immediately come to mind).
  
  If I dex hits and immediately dash in for the interrupt, he's still unstoppable and I get hit. If I wait even the slightest pause he can chain heavies with incredible recovery time, or that slight pause is enough to not disable the node.
  
  He also manages to go unstoppable in the middle of eating an SP1 and is launching a heavy before I'm finished. But this might be how that node is supposed to work if not disabled.

  Yes that’s how the node works. He goes unstoppable on last hit of sp1 and sp2. He is unstoppable in his heavy so you can attack him after the first hit to break his node and then dex the last 2 hits. You can’t punish his heavy like normal unless you dex all 3 hits and get him right after.

  I mean, I know how the nodes are supposed to work, and I ended up with 3 solos so it's not terribly hard. But that doesn't preclude me from thinking that there are bugs. A few that are pretty consistent in this fight:
  - Heimdall able to cancel heavy (this truly blows my mind)
  - Heimdall acting unstoppable on my heavy even when the node is down
  - Heimdall able to apply root in the corner before he is even standing
  - Heimdall heavy chaining faster than a human ever possible could

  Note that it was very helpful to intercept after first hit, and not bring double medium champs like tigra or bwdo.
  
  The fight still feels buggy as hell in run after run.

  FYI, Dragon man is a mystic from 2020 with slow on the sp1. If you have him, he handles this fight easily.

  Dragon Man, hit monkey, and Odin were all fine options.
