Hi all.
I was missing something really obvious, happened to me twice so just wanted to raise it as an issue to be wary of.

Fighting the symbiotic spidey boss on uncollected.
He's down to his last 15%, so I use Venom on him. Hes stun immune, so I enter the fight, block a hit to bait a heavy. Sym throws a heavy, i swipe into him.
Before I even hit him, I lose 15k health and I'm ko'd.
Revived venom, wonder what had happened. Same happens again.

Basically, the tiny bit of power youre getting from the first blocked hit to bait the heavy is then drained, causing the immediate loss of the 15k.

Ended up just having to intercept instead.
This is mainly me being stupid, but wanted to raise it as something to be aware of.
I imagine some of you pros just wrecked sym spidey without this even being an issue.
💪

    What the advice then? Was kinda waiting for ur advice lol
  • Fred_JoeityFred_Joeity Posts: 1,168 ★★★
    Advice is to intercept for your first hit instead of taking a blocked hit
  • RiderofHellRiderofHell Posts: 4,399 ★★★★★
    I tend to suck at intercept lol
  • Fred_JoeityFred_Joeity Posts: 1,168 ★★★
    I suppose you could always try to take a few blocked hits in sequence to give you more power, so it takes longer to drain to 0

    I was not ready for that node haha 😂 Died using Domino and Sentinel. However I got the job done with Blade. 👏 Like someone said, I think you either get hit or hit into their block as soon as the fight starts. Otherwise you'll be like me who evaded at the beginning and immediately died lol.

    Yep, you have a couple of options. Ideally, back off and intercept. If you're not great at intercepting then you can try and take successive blocked hits and play aggressively to make sure you always have a little bit of power.
    If it gets to a point where your power is about to empty, it may be better letting sym spidey lad a clean hit than lose the immediate 15k from the empty power.

    Good luck!

    Is there a power leak on the node too? IIRC, that node you're talking about will only hurt you once you drop to 0 power.

    @Hamin yeah there’s a transducer node

    Thanks for the heads up, may bring the Heimdall Synergy just to be safe though.
