It’s a death
0. Yes. It’s not.
Tier 5 with underdeveloped rosters? Works both ways, on the attacker AND defender side.
Yeah the block breaking. Lol
Not specific to the 5/65 Hype, but I know some still have issues with DV's specials getting blocked no matter where in the combo they launch them, so YMMV =P
@Amonthir Yes that issue has gotten worse again, 5-hit combos don't chain Voodoo's sp2 safely. If that's the only downside to using Voodoo on node 30 he can avoid that by using his sp2 on 2-hit/3-hit/4-hit combos.
I haven't tried Voodoo out on node 30 in tier 1-5 but using him the same way players use Magik to keep Dormammu cornered would keep Hyperion's power low without feeding cornered or masochism while avoiding massive block damage from aspect of evolution.
Voodoo is a bit tougher to use since his SP2 power drain can get eaten up by Masochism. Magik's power lock proc's twice (on each hit of her SP2) so even though Masochism eats the first power lock the second one is likely to stick. This makes her a little more reliable to use against node 30. You can probably still use Voodoo but you will have to be much more careful and that can leave room for error.
For our guy with the DV issue, his L2 is too unreliable at any point in the combo, so we just changed lanes for him. It still sucks though.
@Ultimatheory Voodoo’s power drain is on odd combos. Use his sp2 on an even combo and he activates power burn. Power burn doesn’t trigger masochism or cornered.
Voodoo’s sp2 doesn’t chain consistently but there are ways to limit it getting blocked like backing up after 2-4 hit combos and using his sp2 to intercept instead of intercepting with strikes.
That complicates things a lot, I forgot aspect of evolution does more than reduce block proficiency. My alliance was tier 2-3 last season, we started over a month ago and as of now have only reached tier 6 so my Voodoo suggestion isn’t based on experience.
Voodoo’s sp2 power burn can keep enemies at 0 power when it consumes 3 loas. A 5/65 Voodoo with a high sig ability can easily maintain power burn while building power for his next sp2, even without MD. The hard part would be not getting screwed by RNG when trying to stack loas.
I now get why players have been saying Magik is the best option. I’d like to see someone try using Proxima Midnight with an invulnerability boost. At 4/55 her sp2 can do 180K+ damage when she has a 100+ hit combo, her prowess buffs could be enough for her to solo node 30 enemies without needing to land a 100+ hit combo first.
Nodes that take skill and right champ v right champ.....
Not everything should be a one size fits all.... different paths should require different attack teams....
It is part of war that deaths occur....
They need to bring back defender kills....
That way when people die to a node like this they will think twice before reviving....
Then and only then will war work properly.... the best llayers with the best teams will win. The fact you can buy 1000000000 revives wont matter...
@linux This node has been out for close to a month. There's not a single video out on YouTube or Reddit of someone soloing a 5/65 Medusa or Hyperion without using items or boosts. Sparky handles Domino and others and Blade can take down Killmonger and Mephisto if played with enough skill. The trend in tier 1-3 seems to be to skip node 30 and clear the remaining nodes.
No doubt a r5 Magik can handle 5/65 Medusa and Hyperion on 30. Medusa's living strands is a lot easier to counter when she can be stunned. Hyperion seems to be the most difficult defender there, you'd have to time parries when Magik's limbo is active to prevent KO from block damage while power locking when the masochism timer is resetting. It doesn't make sense for players to say this node is not OP because they have the necessary 5/65 champion to handle specific 5/65 defenders.
I actually do have a video of Magik soloing a r5 Medusa on that node by my ally mate. Been lacking opponents lately since the last 2 wars were empty maps. Would love to post a video of it.
Don't doubt you have that video, if you don't use health/attack/special AW boosts that's impressive. I'll be trying 5/65 Voodoo and 4/55 Proxima Midnight on node 30 once we move up another tier. Proxima's sp2 can do 30K+ damage per hit (4 total) once she has 2 of her 3 max prowess buffs active. Her sp2 stun would feed masochism, but use it when she's close to 3 bars of power and she's able to heal block enemies on her sp1 before the masochism timer resets. Land her sp1 with a 50+ hit combo and the heal block lasts for 14 instead of 7 seconds.
After 1 year of absence from the game, I unearthed Strange upon encountering Medusa. He absolutely DESTROYS her. Her furies being countered feed Strange's specials and he never has to block her, instead just dash back + shoot a special whenever she attacks.
Too bad he is not available as a 5*, as he might not be strong enough as a 4* and time out on node 30.
@KoperBoy Strange's sp2 causes masochism to trigger. I don't think he'd be able to get a node 30 5/65 Medusa down even with multiple attempts, she has 170K+ health on node 30 in tiers 1-3.
r4 much easier than r5
My vid against medusa on node 30, i did boost because i wanted to see how the fight would be to get ready for season, but i don't think it would be any different unboosted.
@danielmath Very nice! Easily the best counter I've seen for node 30 Medusa. Seems like an MCOC veterans group was right about Hyperion being the harder of the two defenders on that node.
Yep, that's why I think he would time out. Masochism should gain a % of life from basic health like Willpower, and not be based on boosted health.
As a 5*, he would be strong enough to get her down even with masochism, as often he would shoot consecutive SP2's with MD5, which are not that weak. Especially under Fury.
Damn 4 souls? what happens if the diversity nodes are empty. Do you get 2 from guillotine synergy and dupe on MS?
