King Groot surprising Killmonger counter...

in General Discussion
In my master and uncollected runs on Killmonger, I had to look long and hard at my roster for decent armor breakers to avoid his darn damage reflection when I noticed King Groot can inflict permanent armor break with his S1 as long as he has a fury. This ended up making Killmonger so much easier, especially with how defensive he is I could sit back and regen as needed.

    No video, sorry, not set up for it. But for what it's worth, I was using a 4* 4/40 King Groot and on the uncollected Killmonger and only needed a few revives to get through it. Would have been less but I still wasn't that used to his moveset.

    Medusa paired with Karnak has a killer armor break. But ended up using mostly Archangel as his fights are shorter.

    I had trouble using AA on him with how defensive he was I could never get a parry in to land heavies and wrack up bleeds/poisons/neurotoxins. Plus on uncollected he has cornered for increased power gain when taking ongoing.

    True, on Uncollected I ended up using all my champs on him anyway. With sparky I can make him use his specials, at least. But in the end, I usually go with the ones that make more damage faster.

    Nice to know about King Groot. Does he need to be awakened?

    KG only needs to be awakened if you want his regen.

    He’s also bleed immune. And you can use his SP2 on a blocking killmonger to remove his SP1 buffs

    Symbiote Spidey is not bad either. 80 sec armor break with a heavy atk.

    I used Thor and Medusa

    I used the guy with cool specs, throwing stars, pistols and katanas.

    But I will admit that KG is vastly underrated for a number of areas in the game.

    Yeah Thor, Medusa, or Hyperion are the best options for killmonger uncollected and otherwise. Kept his armour broken and kept pushing to sp2 and evading so made the fights easy

    mightve been mentioned but Symbiote Spiderman has a super long armor break as well that can be helpful if people have him ranked up sufficiently.

    I brought in Medusa (4/40) and she did not work for me since I got too nervous. I used Sym Spider and he is only rank 3/30 so he did not last long. HE works for me from time to time. I did not use SP1 power drain so I could push Killmonger to use his SP2 which was easier to evade. AA works very well for me.

    I used r4 magik. Just kept him
    Power locked and living in limbo helped with the reflection damage. If I KOed with magik I used damage over time champs as his sp2 is super easy to evade. Keep pushing him to sp2 evade rinse repeat. GP sp3 wasn’t bad either.

    You mean this guy?

    Yeah, though being awakened really makes a huge difference in his lasting power, fights just long as hell.
