    Maso can be really tough depending on your team.

    Who are you carrying and who are your options?

    AA is phenomenal. In general, try and play like they are stun immune. Use champs that do not rely on damage over time effects (not always the case).

    I don’t have a 4* AA. I wanted to grind his arena but was unable to because of certain bugs

    That team can do it. And the other poster had good advice as far as treating it like stun immune. Just never expect the parry to land lol.

    Some people try to go with pure damage and avoid damage over time completely. Spark can mostly do that if not using specials. Just build charges and tear stuff up. If you wanna use L2, throw a parry in before you launch the special.

    I used dot champs and just overpowered them. The maso is on a timer, so you can give parries to maso so your dot sticks. And the regen isn't too bad in my memory. Blade will work well, rider is a mainstay for me and has the longevity to get it done if needed but lower damage will make it tough. Vp probably isn't going to help too much overall tho

    If you have OG Thor, you can parry safely, since masochism only nullifies either parry or armor break but not both. Other than that, have as many revives as possible

    Easy way to fight Masochism is duped Morningstar. She regens everytime masochism is triggered. I solo'd this chapter with 5/50 sig 69 MS.

    Apart from that, killmonger+Sabretooth help too. Also try Elektra as she reduces AA by 85% everytime a debuff is active on opponents

    You should have done more preparation: hoard about 1000 units and stack up about 10-15 revives before going in. People didn't tell you about this because you asked about machoism node. But depends on skills, you might not need to use them.
    Anyways still the best advice is: Energy refill is always MUCH cheaper than revive, try again and again to practice against that node, and when you think it's time to power through it with (some) revives, do it. The collector fight is an unavoidable one to take your units and revives though.

    dude, quit if Cable appears IMMEDIATELY, he will kill you with pain over time, start over and save the revives

    besides that, starlord and hyperion with fury stacks help me there, don't forget that storm has caltrops

    Take the easy Path, Colossus, is on it. Parry to trigger Masochism, and use DoT. AA, Hyperion. GP, Voodoo, etc. Don't forget that Class Relationships are reversed. Watch out for that Loki before Storm. I found him hella fast. Almost immediate reactions. Good luck. This is where 5.2 starts to get challenging.

    Collosus was a pain. Surprisingly

    If you can get killmonger or either black panther with sabertooth synergy, using sabertooth ignores ability accuracy when inflicting a debuff, long enough to negate masochism kicking in. He was awesome on the masochism paths in act 5.3 and 5.4.

    It's the easiest because of the Nodes. Above/Below.
