**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Laugh it up “Big-K”! Your champion is beyond unfair and YOU KNOW IT!!! You give it the dumbest AI that REFUSES to be baited no matter what and make it stun immune to make the few options we have that mush less effective as you KNOW there’s no safe way to intercept him!

Oh and I’m referring to you sadistic torture machine HYPERION

    I went up against hypy with my own r5 5* hypy, and the jerk stood there, arms crossed and AoN'd me.

    Fun fact, a r5 5* hypy can eat a sp3 from the final path hypy on part 4 of the lightweight challenge.

    But not two. Which is what happened because that jerk would not bait.

    Well that sucks for you that you hit the wrong side of the rngesus of baiting, I found him to be 1 of the easiest opponents in the challenge (Magik sp2 ftw), but I did get more lucky with the baiting rng (build him up to sp2, since that’s the 1 that’s unblockable, so he’ll more likely use that sp).

    Dormammu, Vision(s), Magik and Ice-Man seem to be some of the most reliable counters for Hyperion. though if you want to use the minimal amount of revives/potions, Ice-Man is probably out of the question since he'll eventually get low in health maybe in 2 or 3 fights considering they are long

    Hawkeye, Sparky, Luke Cage are some counters people use for Hypy but they're out of the question because of the +50% power gain and the stun immunity node, making them more unreliable to use.

    I used Hawkeye R4 5* and I beat Hyperion on every path (6x) only using one revive. I guess you can say I got lucky baiting his specials... but there's ways to use Hawkeye to make the opponent pretty much never get to their special 3. The one time I actually got KO'd is because I got clipped by his L2 lol.

    I wish I can post a video here to show you guys but for some reason the "file format is not allowed"...

    ^ That's interesting, maybe should I be more aggressive and getting close to another bar of power before using the sp1. though the second thing it's already hard to me because of Hype's crazy power gain

    Basically in short...
    - I try to use the sp1 right before filling my second bar of power (so that i can have another sp1 ready shortly incase he decides to be an a***ole)
    - As soon as he fills 2 bars (or is close to filling 2 bars) I try and sense if he will bait or be difficult... if I get the feeling he will be difficult, I hold block and force him to use a heavy attack - then i counter with a combo and sp1 him in the face :)
    - Constantly try and bait his specials... usually i try and think of baiting once he reaches one and a half bars of power... (like i said in previous point... if i sense he is not biting, i hold block and he eventually throws a heavy pretty quickly... allowing me to land my combo and reach my special one)
    - Obviously sometimes you have no choice but to use the sp1 right away cuz he's being difficult... just be patient, focus on your baiting strategy.

    @Alpha07 hope this helps :)

    ogHulk/Void/BW/Thor Ragn/Heimdall.
    You have first indestructible Hulk at -20% +1 bar of power and second indestructible (Heimdall) at 1%. You can imagine a max sig level hulk at 1% health...HULK SMASH!!!!!!!!! Puny Hype

    DO YOU WANT TO GIVE ME ANY OF THAT? Specifically Ragnarok, Void and Hiemdall? I like your style but if my luck was good enough for even a fraction of the counter strategies I can think of I wouldn’t be anywhere near as salty about getting 5* Hawkeye from this event’s 5* crystal. But it’s also part of a larger issue where he’ll literally just stand there some fights
  • NEO_mr_AndersonNEO_mr_Anderson Posts: 1,075 ★★★
    You just need the ogHulk as 5* . Thor Ragn 4* and the others can even be 3*
    If you get KOed, you just us a lev 1 revive. He will come in fight with indest/1 bar and Hulk smash.

    Then how about other opponents?
  • Epsilon3Epsilon3 Posts: 1,138 ★★★
    Exactly. Not exactly viable when Magik and Iceman got you DOA with a load out like that

    You can do all with Hulk. Magik is class disadvantage and you can dash back with Hulk to get 15% health back (Heimdall/Thor synergy). So, if you do that in each combat, you can go far before using a revive.
    And BW synergy gives you 25% chances of stunning on sp, so, double stun.

    magik has class advantage to hype

    Same here. Void tore through all 6 Hyperions in the final difficulty with no issue. Once you got at least 1 petrify debuff, the fight is very manageable. Once you get 2, it's a cakewalk.

    It's true that Hyperion sometimes gets stingy with his specials, but that wasn't my experience with this challenge. My best advice is when you want to bait his specials, get as close to him as possible and drop your block. Give yourself plenty of time. If he's anywhere near 2 bars of power, stop attacking him and focus all your efforts on getting close to him and get ready to evade.

    Good luck!

    I HATE HYPERION!!!

    Every time I fight him, he literally just sits there — and gains power? Kabam really messed up with him, you reward with POWER GAIN an start him off with his COSMIC CHARGES for not doing anything? 🤨

    hyperion was definitely the hardest champ to fight. magik and mystic dispersion took care of him fairly easily though. I thought the level of difficulty for this event was spot on. Great rewards too!

    Magik was the one that cost me the most items...but my Blade is unduped so the Limbo was bound to get me eventually.

    But I agree, great difficulty, great rewards.
