Heimdall true strike

Is it possible to get an answer as to how Heimdall will interact with a true strike node? He will have a 25% chance to autoblock when he has true strike. That’s all well and good when you fight him in a quest, since the true strike will disappear after one hit. But in Aw when he is on a true strike node, will he have a 25% chance to autoblock on every single hit?

So then, true sight>true strike>true accuracy>true damage

Screenshot is on YouTube, I doubt kabam would be happy if I posted the link.
I did watch it all, I really like the animations. Some of the abilities, less so.
Based on the video, heimdall's heavy is slow and easy to intercept, so that's possible
You won't have to worry about heavy intercepting, as I don't think any stun immune nodes have True Strike. So you can parry/heavy him as long as he is on a True Strike node.
Final boss does. I think it’s the only one though.
I honestly can't remember...but doesn't the final boss have True Strike?
I just checked an old video of mine. The boss DOES have a True Strike node and is stun immune.
Without seeing any gameplay, the only thing that springs to mind as a solution is just hoping that Heimdall leaves himself open to heavy attacks all the time.
Forgot which node it is, but on path 3, the node at the triangle (25 maybe?) has true strike and stun immune
Not to mention, I’ve just re-read this, and with true strike Heimdall’s opponent is unable to dexterity his attacks, meaning you have to block any projectiles. Then you look at his special 2 and it’s an unblockable one when he has armour. You may say that you can just make him use the first one, or stop him getting armour. But to that I’d say:
-power gain nodes and SP2 emphasis nodes make that an impossibility sometimes
-Heimdall gets an armour buff maybe once every 5-7 hits judging by the gameplay. Couple that with an armour node and a true strike node and his sp2 will always be unblockable and undodgeable.
The icing on the cake is that his sp2 is a projectile attack. So you cannot dodge it, and you cannot block it. Even spark and daredevil autoevade cannot work due to true strike. Well done kabam, you’ve finally got to the stage where you’ve made a champ that we cannot evade or block, the only two ways in the game of avoiding hits.
He doesn’t need to be on a true strike node for this. He gets true strike every time he activates a special, so his SP2 will always be undodgeable. It only takes his own armor or an armor node to be unblockable and therefore completely impossible to avoid the the full damage. The only solution really is just making sure not to get him to SP2.
Unless he’s on a true strike node and his abilities interact with it so that he never loses true strike. So he always has a chance to autoblock you and stun you.
Brilliant, hadn’t even thought of that. A permanently unevadable special and one that for a very large percentage (if not all, due to armour nodes) of the fight will be unblockable.
True but on a True Strike Node he'd be nearly impossible to beat with auto parry and unblockable specials since you can't evade.
Node 27 also has true strike. Few more months and Blade/Sparky/GR attack teams won't be dominating like they have been for close to a year. Bring Luke Cage for Heimdall on true strike AW nodes.
A) I was only responding to Bitter Steel’s point about the unavoidable and unblockable SP2 potential.
This is probably true, but there’s a chance that True Strike from a node doesn’t give him those ancillary powers that his own True Strike does. This is what I think this whole thread is trying to confirm from mods.
