Off-hand I can think of a few counters for Caustic instead of Buffed Up.
1. OG Hulk
2. Hyperion
3. Medusa
4. Black Bolt (Needs duped)
5. Ronan
6. Ultron Classic
7. Gulk/Quake/Rulk/CptIW/Nebula/Thing and many others + Heimdall + Angela/Hela
Like all end-game content, if you have some specific champs (listed as 1-6 and Heimdall + Angela/Hela in this case), the options open up and the fight becomes more manageable/cheaper because you have a proper counter.
Alternatively, if you do not have a proper counter and want to clear it due to impatience, the fight becomes significantly harder and whilst it's still possible to clear, it becomes exponentially more expensive.
If you think Heimdall is the ONLY option, then you might wanna hear what others say and explore other possibilities.
Anyway, yes about Cpt Marvel. It's possible but she will have a problem given her big damage output is from her crits. So you're crit-ting really hard and he's regenerating 70% back. Not to mention you have to consistently deal with his Passive Shocks since you'll most probably have to dex quite a few times, hit him to get your charges up, and the 5 extra furies from Ignition.
Aegon's True Accuracy buff yes. That's one. But you'll still need Heimdall + Angela/Hela + Magik/Gully for the other 2 buffs unless you're willing to take some hits. It's even more restrictive than Caustic if that were the case, isn't that so? I don't play Aegon so I'm not sure of his abilities (have him as a 4* only).
Yes Hela stacks furies relatively easily. The shocks are the problem and she's quite a glass cannon. I mean you could block the specials but it's gonna hurt alot with her block proficiency.
Electro possible. But out of FGMCs and Dungeon crystals, too rare to find. It also requires you to bring Heimdall + Angela/Hela + Magik/Gully though.
Cull is the newly introduced counter, wasn't available at that time. Just heavy, sp1, 10 Rout buffs, sp3. Fight ends. HOWEVER, from a community perspective, if he were the best counter for Sinister, wouldn't this further fuel the "unfair advantage to whales" argument? So from that aspect, he shouldn't be made the optimal counter to a boss.
They’ve become obsolete and besides duplicating them, they hold no value.
Electro is in the 6 star basic pool, isn't he? Either way, that's a fair point. Same thing with cull.
Hela also has the indestructible when dying. If you can build a lot of furies and get to an sp3, she might be able to one shot him.
Aegon gains one true accuracy buff when he crits. Stacks upto 3. You could ramp him up a little bit more for the fury on every crit as well but at that point you'd be critting too much for it to be viable imo.
Like it or not, Act 6 is acting like a sieve to better filter Uncollected/Cavalier players based on their roster development. As much as it is unpopular, I firmly believe it is required as newer players are progressing too fast for their own good.
Much of older content is there as a foundation for new players to build their skills, from parrying and evading in Acts 1-3, understanding and reading nodes and interactions in Act 4, to intercepting and champ related counters in Act 5. Should they be given easily accessible overly ranked champs, they miss out on this opportunity to build up their skill set and knowledge, and ultimately become bitter because they can no longer "power" their way through opponents.
As a leader of 2 alliances (one in Plat 1 and another in Plat 3), I have seen many potential recruits apply with 2-3 R5s and miserable (4-5) numbers of R4s. I call them the "Fast Trackers" and usually request for a video of them displaying their skills. More often than not, I'll be disappointed.
It's no fault of theirs, but because of how the game is giving out higher tier champs like candy, they have cruised through earlier content and have not built up their skills and roster to an acceptable level.
Truth be told, I am hoping that the requirement to enter 6.3 is to have fully explored 6.2 but I highly doubt the Devs will do that.
Electro was also only recently added to the 6* pool. Not many had access to him prior to that.
Hela, maybe. It requires you to pull her twice though, or awaken her. From what I gathered in the beta, people have tried using her and found it to be the same, revive + heal + go in deal as much damage as you can before you die. Rinse wash repeat.
Yup about Aegon. He gets to guaranteed crits and it's gonna hurt (70% damage reduction against Sinister), making it a long painful fight + you'll be regularly hitting him so his power meter is gonna go crazy, which means you get shocked badly as well.
Anyway she's poison immune as well. So you could try her against the current Caustic Sinister and see how she fares since the overall fight goes exactly the same way. Let us know ya? Cheers.
Would have been a lot uglier if Cpt Brie and Cull were the best options. All the moneygrab accusations would have been thrown out. Lol
Who are your 5*s at R4 or above and 6*s? Just curious.
