THE DOWNFALL OF APOCALYPSE: From Mutant King to Relic of the Past | Mcoc Case Studies II

[@papamidnite9282]

Once hes released as 7 star his relevance will increase

[@grimplayz7565]

that will be a very long time and you can say that for every 6* not available as a 7*

[@D2legos]

I mean if blade got a seven star what’s stopping APOC from joining

[@adhamanwar4114]

I don't think so, Apoc problem is being cable synergy reliant

[@JFrost2124]

I doubt it

[@CynLeDarius]

not really i dont think anybody desires him

[@Cweb3]

I still use him for everything, he’s underrated now

[@Cweb3]

Also great defender in bgs with high health and not many people can dex his specials

[@AHorrorFanatic]

He is one of my newer champs but he is going to help carry me through act 3.

[@edisonlaw934]

@@Cweb3 Newer tech champs can wreck him

[@Cweb3]

@@edisonlaw934 people underestimate his health in bgs, infamous iron man, shuri, nimrod, fut ant man are all slow against him. I win many matches because of apoc

[@lebrons666]

@@Cweb3 yeah fant man aint doing quick enough. his healthpool is kinda huge

[@IamTheStormThatIsApproaching1]

I still use him. Also with Kang pretty often. One of the most underrated synergies in the game imo. Makes a poor character into a god tier and gives Apoc full genetic code from the start. Add his horseman ability, immunities and very good damage, I don't see a problem tbh. He's actually good enough that he might not ever be a 7*.

[@dukie-gf9ek]

Nerfing his work around for mighty charge was lame. And they released a cleanse champ(I think Jabari) very soon after he was released. Then several more cleanse champs. Effectively nerfing his dominance over skills. Then they made tech champs that could work around his long, tough to dodge specials. Still a beast, but, not the defender or attacker that he used to be. Hopefully some newer champs that can take advantage of his horseman ability come around.

[@Ultrqviolencee]

The second bgs was released most persistent charge champs became outdated, the poor guy was done dirty but still crazy in quest scenarios. Just not as good as newer mutants and champs in general

[@xxdemonxxpvp5099]

still one of the best champ for questing

[@Rob-typeshi]

Bro’s still so good for me in quests I love him

[@DaltonBrand21]

Now Apocalypse was pretty good in the Power Shield and Pokadot power meta he work insanely well

[@edisonlaw934]

He just needs to be a 7* and he is back in business. Also give him the ability to start with extra genetic code in BGs He's my favorite mutant in the game but has fallen off a lot

[@stevemeters3090]

I think as a 7* he'd be back to dominance.

[@faustoutloud]

Hes Always been my favorite I pulled him from the Featured before I got CGR I miss him 😢 he needs to become a 7* for sure.

[@dan7549]

I think you got it better at the last part of the video when saying, it's mostly the downfall of the mutant class. Imo Apoc is still a top Mutant.

[@williamguzman8479]

Apocalypse was released in September of 2020 with Professor X. So, Not sure how he was teased in October of that year lmaoo

[@BlimeyMCOC]

Maybe if he had his ability vs mutants, but also with skill champs. So get both debuffs with specials. Even if it’s maybe just one more charge/prowess instead of two. Or maybe ability “in battlegrounds, start with 4 charges” would be really good

[@adityamahadik501]

I agree mutant class currently was at it's lowest onslaught did boost them up but still only one champ as of lately other classes like mystic and science have gotten way stronger with new additions while other mutants realsed before onslaught where a lot more focused on defense like dani moonstar, captain Britain etc though i would say apoc is still good but he benefits more with mutant synergys and boost mutants up like iam pretty sure ppl will use him more as soon as he is realsed as a 7* hopefully negasonic teenage warhead would be a good mutant but this is completely my personal opinion

[@mostafaelmotayam2985]

The sp3 is also pretty useful it doubles the potency of all debuffs which makes the AAR 70% which is huge.

[@stevemeters3090]

I only have him as an ascended 5*, but he still wrecks loads of content for me.

[@sychoniems]

i still remember getting him as a 4* and took him to r3 and he was the only reason i was able to do 5.2.4 mesochism

[@adhamanwar4114]

Apoc was my first r3 mutant, I'm valiant right now and my apoc is still r3, that alone describes how hard he fall

[@paulburrows295]

As someone with rank 5 ascended cable who you kinda snubbed in this video lol apocalypse is still awesome as you've shown. I have apoc rank 5 ascended and as a pair they handle so much content and annoying defenders. Cable can can take so many fights with the apoc synergy its unreal how underrated cable is and can take abs man 😉 Great showcase either way

[@carameldrizzle3753]

My thing with Apoc is that I only use him now for fighting Kingpin cuz of his purify ability accuracy reduction, rarely BGs and occasionally in War, but he mainly works on older purify champs like Elsa, Agent Venom, and I believe Crossbones. When I tried using him for newer champs like Zemo, Chee’ilth, and I believe Jabari Panther just doesn’t work, at least not when I tried.

[@HarryToeface]

Apoc is awesome, I still use him a lot. He's worth maxing out, he does so much and has insanely good synergies on top of it. AND the horseman buff!!! Which is amazing! Also I noticed, you aren't using the sp3 to lock in your debuffs. They also get +100% potency....so it's definitely worth doing in a long fight

[@neevbhayani7978]

The node he's talking about is Empyreal Defiance, it makes them essentially AAR immune

[@AyushGujjar0_0]

i always wanted him as 6 star champ but when i found him i never ranked him, i don't know why but i don't feel like to rank him up. but he is still one of the unpredictable and dangerous defender in the game.

[@ranoverray1]

Living god. Its only your perception. Hes just not good for BG and is so unique and fun

[@mostafaelmotayam2985]

Apoc was actually really good in power shield meta it was one sp2 and the fight was over I’ve taken multiple weapon x’s with him

[@dragonalceus]

Seeing how so many champs have become obsolete because of battleground, it make me feel like they deserve a battleground tune up like spidey punk or serpent have... For apocalypse, it would make him begin with his 4 prowess and his immunities right from the start if in battleground. He still wouldn't be that great for bg, but clearly, it would make him viable.

[@AslamKhan-mk8yi]

I did the caltrops path for scytalis yesterday with my r3 apoc,it was such a breeze,this guy is so good but he needs help for bgs

[@GilbertojrZ7]

We should have more suports based on him and that Type of Pre fight should be way more common for other classes like Tech that the characters only miss few effects Galan have the Herald but ins't stronger as much for most of cosmics like Horseman is for other mutants

[@MartinLopez-kw7pi]

Apocalipsis fue creado para misiones , en esos tiempos no habian las BG que pasaron a ser el contenido mas importante del juego

[@vashthestampede4090]

Este muchacho sabe lo que dice. 🍺 tome una de premio!

[@tvanza7791]

He was mostly lost to cleanse, the Rise of the Techs, and the fact that synergies are less prominent and paths being shorter. So building up his charges and using the horsemen ability is not as useful either. And his damage isn't holding up these days solo.

[@ahmetmoses555]

apocalypse and kingpin were my first 4* champs and they carried me a lot 🔥

[@ehra7480]

pair him with Stryfe and see his specials scaling in damage every time you activate one. Even with a 5* ascended, you do crazy damage ... with a 6* R5, it's getting nuts. So still good for questing with high health pool defenders. Not everybody is BG and AW focused ...

[@assumedname1312]

Much like stryfe, I used to love this champ. Design and playing him was fun, and was very useful. Such a shame I now almost never use him. I hope they add some stuff for super ramp champs for bgs cuz their relevance would increase dramatically if they did.

[@Veraxes2445]

He’s defo lost relevance but I don’t think he’s fallen off THAT much. I have an ascended R5 6 star and he’s great for fighting other mutants in BG’s. Still a questing king with stryfe and he’s pretty fun in incursions too. I think a couple small tweaks to his abilities and bringing him back as a 7 star would do wonders for him

[@mr_61088]

I‘d still gave him the R5 last Month. He will always be my BigBoi and i still enjoy to use him

[@musify8267]

Korg one of the hardest fights in mcoc Quake: Hold my beer 😂😂

[@aryan-mz4kd]

He is still a great champ, just one drawback is he needs ramup Pros :- 1. Reduce defensive, offensive both ability accuracy by 70% 2. Reduce opponent attack by 50% 3. Immune to bleed, incinerate, disorient 4. Completely counters evade 5. Counters/reduce purify ability 6. With stryfe synergy he deals massive damage And on top of that his horseman ability 😘😘😘😘

[@shaileshmishra5503]

Mutant class Ain't Dying as long as they have Archangel,Oneslaught, Domino and Weapon X

[@faustoutloud]

That's all they have lets be real plus Ishop and Havok that's just not enough imo.😊

[@sure-ym4uh]

Bro didn't add sungod

[@kukzbootz3413]

still the goat tho

[@tristanlabuschagne6312]

Its been 4 years...think of all the champs who lost relevance at 4 years ingame,blade,starky,vtd,corvus,cull all were beasts way back when but the game evolves

[@kingluis6360]

He’s my favourite mutant champ in the game. I’m still weighing up R5, ascension, or both.

[@PeterGrayson]

Do the downfall of doom

[@lightoos8409]

Bro hits bonkers with stryfe

[@Hassanshahid2502]

I have Rank 5 Onslaught but I use Rank 4 Apocalypse more then him. He is still my top priority.

[@ahmetmoses555]

i just got him and onslaught as a 6* I ranked onslaught bot i love apocalypse, if i invest in him will it be a waste??

[@AHorrorFanatic]

Probably a bit late but no, it would nit be a waste, the horsemen ability alone will ensure that he always has a place in the game.

[@adebiyitaiwo1003]

Will Doctor Doom make it on this series ?

[@mostafaelmotayam2985]

Dani was my best option for scytalis she did a 1.2 mil crit in her sp2.

[@ianpierce_97]

I like apocalypse more than kitty. Not saying he’s better. But I think I’d rather rank him over her. And I still think he’s relevant.

[@terrygojan]

I got Valiant never use Apoc really. Is just reliant in synergyes, I rather go for tree good mutants than the synergy team.

[@065harieshkumarn8]

Apoc was once a well regarded mutant and yeah he is kinda overshadowed now and hey I have few suggestions for you Warlock-only for actual aw and not questing damage is poor Stealth spidey - ppl chose others over him Shang chi- still great damage and utility but not in roster Bw Claire voyant - only grass mcoc plays her Void and overseer

I use void constantly in t1 war

[@zilverheart]

Moleman Doom Those who disagree: Where you see these 2 in BG, aw, ...maybe as defenders

[@Brei.]

They hated Nagase because he told them the truth.

[@8backup]

I just did my first abyss path (just for fun) using only mutant champions with Apoc and Onslaught on the team, and a gotta say, the damage gap between them is insane, Onslaught obliterated some fights in there. Team: Apoc 6* (Rank 4) / Onslaught 6* (Rank 5 and ascended) / Professor-X 6* (Rank 4) / Stryfe 5* (Rank 5 and ascended) / Colossus 7* (Rank 1) Masteries: Full Suicides

[@edisonlaw934]

How long did it take? Were rewards worth it

[@8backup]

@@edisonlaw934 something around 1 hour, i did it for fun and for the title, i didnt have quite fun because of the path i took, since were my first path i chose the common known path 1, and some fights in there were really painful, Captain Marvel Movie was the most dificult one, no one on my team could deal reasonably well with this fight, besides Onslaught by just going all in

[@edisonlaw934]

@@8backup I wonder if Apoc can do necropolis fights

[@8backup]

@@edisonlaw934 probably not, he is a ramp up champion, even at the fight you need to ramp up his debuffs, if his DOT damage were stronger then maybe he could do something in there, mine was dealing 1.7k per tick (all boosts and suicides) with his debuffs, thats nothing compared to Kate and Shuri who can deal 20k per tick on their DOTs

[@dexter2898]

Truly a wonder a champion 2 ranks higher is capable of outdamaging apoc without his cable synergy

[@bhavya2974]

I love to use him I have a r5 ASCENDED. Feel bad because he lost his relevance because he needs synergy and also because of battlegrounds

[@sigurdvarmdal1325]

The devs had it out Against Apoc, someone inn the Dev team for sure hates him, they make him less and less viable every, single, patch.

[@sulemantahir527]

If he start fight with his genetic code already active on him he will be good and he needs to not let opponens cleanse and purify debuffs then he is good

[@mostafaelmotayam2985]

Can you do kitty next?

[@emperorcosmos1316]

I love this series so much man

[@blackhole5353.]

Blame BGs for the downfall of most champs. A lot of ramp up/not nuke champs “fell off” once BGs came out

[@julianaortegong462]

Next do a case study on ritrah plz

[@H0LLYW00DHenn]

I use him for my sector 5 path in incursions & in AQ with OG Wolverine & Magneto, still valuable to me 🤷‍♂️ Hes unusable in BG, but was made to b a quester (his regen)

[@fadedsasquatch6947]

It’s not that he didn’t age well, it’s that they introduced other mutants.

[@dekufan-f7i]

thats the definition of not aging well, archangel is considered to age well because hes still good inspite of all the new mutants

[@fadedsasquatch6947]

@@dekufan-f7i, that’s not the definition buddy. Blade is the definition of not aging well, ghost is starting to lose popularity because no one wants to bring antman and wasp into a team just for synergy purposes, even the Magnetos are starting to lose relevance because all these new robots that counter their magnetism, but Apoc is losing relevance because he’s not a BG meta champs and is being over by like 2 mutants? At the end of the day, it’s an opinion based game.

[@aparnarai3708]

His lack of damage in BGs and champs like Nimrod,etc made him irrelevant He is still pretty good outside of BGs and even in them can be a decent defender Once he becomes a 7* he will be back in Meta

[@supermanblue8775]

Still watching the beginning. Not sure if you will mention it but Apoc can completely ignore evade as well after triggering evade 10x

[@BMcG]

He gets bigger!?!?!!? 😳🗣🔥

[@HarryToeface]

Also bro nodes screw good champs all the time its kabam 😂 apocalypse also has bleed, so concussion, poison, weakness, degen and bleed. Apoc is freaking awesome in so many situations. You wont pick him for every situation, but theres a lot he amazing for!
