**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.

PROXIMA CANT PARRY DOMINO?

Today i fought Domino on Aegis heavy node with my proxima. I thought domino will get parry stun & I will do the heavy, but Domino did not get parry e single time even I was trying to block/parry every time. Ultimately Proxima KO ed without getting a single scratch on her, but I finally managed to get a parrry from my hyperion & then killed her. So, How this could be? I know domino reduces AAR by 15% but Proxima also has 200% AAR when block an Attack. Till now I was able to parry IMIW, Yondu but this time it got me some real trouble by loosing a champ & another 50% of hype in first section in WAR.. Anyone can explain me this???

    Can't reliably parry KG, in a sense, yes. He shrugs off the stun in half a second while he has Fury Buffs (at the cost of 1). So while KG has Fury up, the Parry stun will get shrugged off almost immediately. Next time you fight him, watch his Buffs. I've managed to stun him with a parry many a time. After he ate all his Furies that is. Just have to be aware of how many Fury Buffs he's rocking.


    I know he could shrug it off I always thought that it would work like masochism but guess I was wrong

    Domino reduces your ability accuracy by 15% just for showing up to the fight this is not reliant on Domino attacking. This leaves Proxima with an 85% chance to land a parry stun. You got unlucky failing a parry stun.

    Proxima does reduce offensive ability accuracy by 200% while blocking, but that does not increase Proxima’s ability accuracy it just reduces the person hitting her blocks ability accuracy, Proxima still has an 85% chance to parry stun Domino.

    Proxima has an 85% chance to parry Domino (less if she is unlucky). Proxima’s OAAR does nothing to increase Proxima’s chance to parry Domino or reduce Domino’s -15% (more if you are unlucky) AAR that Domino penalizes Proxima with for jsut showing up.

    wait: AAR from domino is an ability, and this ability has its AA that can be modified, so if i reduce Domino's AA to 0 she shouldn't be able to affect my Accuracy. in this case, if I parry domino with proxima i should neutralize her abilities, and thus i should be able to always parry her.

    the only thing that can mess up with this reasoning is if Domino's AAR is considered an offensive ability or not.

    Proxima reduces offensive AA, Dominos AAR is a passive ability that activates at the start of the fight

    King groot is awesome, all he needs is stronger number on fury like atleast 30-40% fury amount & to make it more spicy they could add passive power gain of 15% when fury is not active or may b double when opponent is poisoned.

    Dominos AAR is not offensive it is general, and as far as I know you can prevent AAR modification but you cannot modify the AAR percentages because they are passive not active.

    That's because he is King. All you can do is bow down and hope for mercy🤴

    Thanks guyz for your valuable comments. But I want to know What I can do with 200% AAR of proxima & -15% AA of Domino? I am not a pro player, I got Uncollected, But still I rely mostly on parry. I want to know the solution of (rather counter of) Domino on Aegis Heavy node... Cause we are in tier 10, where we find mordo, domino & yondu on that node, we know the counter of mordo & yondu but that DOMINO gives us tough time...

    it is not 200% AAR, it is 200% OFFENSIVE AAR This will prevent things like her bleed from triggering on you when she does a special. It will also affect things like the lucky/unlucky passives traggering.

    I dueled later domino with my proxima, I got the very first parry normally, But after that I could not get a single parry. Also she was getting Lucky/Unlucky everytime she filled her power bar. Cant understand still how to fight domino in that node (aegis heavy)...!!!

    Parry is a defensive ability you have. Dominos ability accuracy reduction lowers it. Dominos AAR is passive, not offensive or defensive ability, and it can apply to both of yours. Domino when lucky also reduces the duration of stuns. Your best bet is probably to learn to heavy intercept.
  • Suman_sahASuman_sahA Posts: 417
    ok, i can normally defeat domino in eq & story quest, normally use intercept or find opening after her spcl to counter her. But can anyone has idea how i remove those indestructible charge off her (in aegis heavy node in war)?
  • Kobster84Kobster84 Posts: 2,898 ★★★★★

    You should heavy counter it’s really easy. Evade the medium and punish. If she has lucky and you have unlucky you will not get the parry. I have 6 * proxima and she handles domino a little better than 5*. And don’t mess with domino there are other champs that need it way more than her. If you have domino you understand but if don’t you’re just Trolling doms

    He’s talking about heavy aegis node
  • Suman_sahASuman_sahA Posts: 417
    @Kobster84 you got it right man... :o
  • Fred_JoeityFred_Joeity Posts: 1,168 ★★★
    Double parry I guess?
  • Fred_JoeityFred_Joeity Posts: 1,168 ★★★
    So just keep parrying hits mid combo until you get a parry stun

    I'd be down to see that happen to the giant walking log with a bommy knocker for a fist, lol. Seriously though, was rather frustrated when I 1st pulled him as a 4* way back when. Now, I kind of want him as a 5*. He has his perks. A little love and he'd be quite useful. You'd think as big as he is he'd hit a bit harder, lol.

    so, there aren't only Offensive and Defensive, but Generic AA too? good to know, thank you ^_^ but how can i stop it? does generic AAR like AA's neurotoxin or CapIW's SP1 work with her?

    Haji_Saab said:


    No, AA's parry can also fail. You just need to try to parry her medium and watch for the stun icon. Try, try again.

    thank you for your advice, but i will probably do as i always done, punishing her heavies and SPs with my sentinel, i just have to learn how to perfectly evade her SP2 ^_^ i don't know why, but i'm still not able to undestand when my opponent does a medium or a light attack ^^"

    Am I correct in saying that archangel is one of the only champs who can reliably parry domino everytime as he's immune to Ability accuracy reduction?
