April 2019 Uncollected Korg on Brute Force + my suggestion

As well all know, an awaken Korg is really an annoying to fight against.
Personally, I don't find it annoying to put one of him in Uncollected.
Ok, let's stop right there. That alone is still not a problem once you've enough practice against him.
Cool. Now let's add Brute Force node on him. Also, make Korg passive.

What do we get now?
•You need to be aggressive to avoid the node damage that eventually will kill you if you don't land a hit.
•You will need to hit Korg when he is blocking which then will give him crowd excitement which then will make him Unstoppable and Unblockable.

What happens now is like a suicidal mission where you need to be aggressive BUT with a passive AI, you can rarely do your interception.
So, you have no choice but to dash back and dash in to hit him with a medium a few times which resulting you to get a lot of damage as it's part of Korg's Sig ability. Now the fight is really becoming a 'fun' and 'interactive' with unavoidable damage.
Overall, it really is a fight that favors Korg's action RNG over players' skill.

What would make the fight less stressful?
Give one node that benefits the players.
Maybe a node that will give a small amount of regen to players for each of their successful hit.
Players will definitely love that and also becoming a bit more skill based to fight Korg on that node.

I hope the devs learn their mistake and fix it in the future

I didn’t really see anything wrong with this node, pretty easy Uc this month.

Korg or Thing or Domino on their own is not that hard. But Kabam loves putting them on defensive node, with degen and power gain

DiablosUltimate

That korg was bad, but it was the only enemy in this month uc eq that I had to revive to get past through, so whatever

Your comment doesn't help at all

I spent more units on that one fight than I did on the rest of exploring the map.

You really have to have an energy-based attacker for that fight, but even then Korg was so passive that the Brute Force node would kill you while he cowered in the corner.

Couldn't hit into his block to bait him without raising his crowd excitement.
Couldn't heavy attack without taking rock shield/thorns damage (or without taking a 5-hit combo to the face).
Couldn't wait out his block without taking Brute Force degen damage.

At the end of it, I just bought my way through it. Fought like I would any other fight and just took the rock-shield damage until I died. Rotate to next champ, repeat until team was dead, revive and repeat until Korg died.

Definitely not "fun and interactive" content...

Not everyone finds this quest easy lol

The ai is not acting normally the passive ai thread is already listed under bugs and known issues. I don't think this was an intended interaction this month

_Kill_Switch_

Yeah it was a bs fight. Had to revive team to get passed him.

That b*tch korg just stood there while I took degen dmg. He was too defensive and there was no defensive node. Kabam trying make that extra money. Greed just never ends.

Yup This wasn’t “intended”. However if this bug was helping us, if would have been fixed day one

- That node is called Life Transfer.
- It’s already more skill based with Brute Force.
- If you’re having issues with passive AI + brute force then you might probably not have reached the skill level required yet.

Just saying.

@xNig perhaps you could shed some light as to how to properly address a passive Korg with Brute Force?

Wanted to record but that korg is really far into the path and I’m expecting comments like “Oh you only need a 5* Void or Magik or Corvus or SymSup etc”.

I took him down with Magik, like other Korgs. Lol.

She's worth it bro. My first R5 and never regretted a moment of it. Been using her to solo Korg, Domino, Dorm, Medusa, Champion etc bosses for a long long time.

It's funny to see some people comments that are really not useful at all.
"You're just not skilled enough".

A childish comment will always make my day 'cause it describes what kind of person you are. Bravo. Got me a chuckle there mate

Raiser

Same here, i tried about 8 times with 3 20% revives at the 8th reps... I use my iceman, coldsnap and frostbite help me put dots.
