VT Meta Must Haves (Guide)
Good luck to everyone making a push this weekend for the Stellar Forged Green Goblin piece in Victory Track. If you are not already running these champs, give these a try since they are super broken this meta: (in the same vein, watch out for them when u choose defenders)
Scream - Tied with Knull as the best champ this meta. Run her even as a r3 unawakened or even a r2 / 6*. She breaks the fury node, and gets twice the number of armor breaks against bleed immunes. Rotation: Heavy at the start of the fight to gain auto block. Trigger Autoblock to parry stun. Medium Medium. Heavy again autoblock medium medium. Heavy again autoblock 5 hit combo ending on a light, sp1. Use sp1 autoblock for parry stun. Build to Sp2. Everything dies in ~35s.
Knull - Same thing, he does not need to be ranked up to do mega stupid stuff this meta, but you do want as much sig as possible. Even a 6* nukes. Heavy, or medium medium to build living abyss. Sp1 converts debuffs to armor break when Corruption triggers after 10s. Because he can convert armor breaks back to living abyss and convert them back to armor breaks he gains too many furies. This is why even a 6* is op. The DOT from degens and the lifesteal he gains when he converts armor breaks back to living abyss means he finishes at full health and bypasses resistances.
Galan - Taking blocked hits means opponent gains a Armor Up buff. means u gain planetary mass. Planetary mass means u ramp insanely fast. You can heavy as soon as you gain 100 to trigger Harvest and gain unstoppable and regen. Do this twice and you take down pretty much everything. U def want to rank up galan as much as possible because he be taking block dmg, but his flexibility is insane. r3 works and he does not need awakening.
Corvus - Most of yall should have this champ ascended. He's the least flexible but highest dmg of the bunch. You just keep parrying and first light back off to build power without consuming charges. You start getting a stupid number of furies. Once ur ramped u take everything, and sp2 power drains when the opponent is at max power so u can do a lot of fights without baiting specials.
Karo - This champ is always good and has an insane matchup spread. Since she glances blocked hits, ur opponent wont get armor ups which means u wont pulverize to gain furies. So try to consume ur iridescence avoid sun, block non-glanced hits, and then go to sun and do ur rotation. Karo with furies is stupid bonkers.
⬆️ Don't be scared to use these champs in suboptimal matchups. There is no reason to hold onto any of these during your placements. Try to get past the traditional thinking of needing class advantage or avoiding class disadvantage. All you should watch out for is armor break immunity, skill defenders, and domino. (i didnt forget serpent or maestro, knull and karo destroy serpent this meta, and galan knull nuke maestro)
With that in mind make sure to have a few good science, mutant, and tech options!
Keep your opponents bans in mind, just because you have a r5 jean grey, or a r5 jack o lantern doesnt mean you are safe. Most ppl will notice that and ban them to protect their defenders. You should be looking to do the same.
This meta is def way more sweaty because it is a nuke meta, but that doesnt mean f2p can't compete. r3s and 6*s versions of the op champs can work, so if ur holding some rankups for this meta, def prioritize your defenders!!
