If you’re not in BGs and time doesn’t matter, just parry until you get to 40 or 50 charges. Then spam Sp1 to stay in ionic. Turns Serpent in Herc. You’ll end up at 100 health at the end of the fight. Nefaria slaps!
In a day an age where people are divided and stuck in, it’s great to see someone working on hearing people and just talking about it. In the end, everyone likes who they like and everyone’s opinions on champs are valid. Thanks Vega for giving people a positive role model.
The amount of physical & energy resistance he gains in addition to his evade makes him a very annoying defender imo. Would love to pull him from my Titan crystals in a few days! 🙏
What a guy! Didn’t have to make this video but did it for us. What a great content creator and person. I love Count and play him a ton and I still learned some things. Thanks Vega!
I respect and appreciate this so much. I've been championing Nefaria since his release so I know you've likely been indirectly hammered with comments and videos in our alliance chat, lol. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the accountability, transparency and standard you hold yourself and your videos too set you apart. The comment about remaking your 2024 video and where you'd place him may seem small but when this (making TH-cam vids about a mobile game) is a core aspect of what you do, it's actually a pretty huge thing to say you may have gotten something wrong to that degree. Love it Vega, keep it up. Thanks for all the entertainment, great vids and community organization. Anyone not in his discord should join.
Right - *cracks neck* (I love my Nefaria btw) 1. I agree with everything you have said - will gloss over those Sasquatch special parries ;) There is actually a trick with him to get 2 energy vulns in one go but nvm. 2. The reason that he is regen and his power control is some of the best in the game is that it doesn't rely on anything; it just happens. Debuffs can be removed, buffs can be removed, but here, it just works! There is no counter for it as there is nothing to counter. Not only can this shut don't things like NF and iHulk, but also weird things like Selective Timestream. Nothing to strug off, nothing to remove, it just works! 3. Something that is often overlooked is that his resistances that come from his charges does NOT require him to be in his overcharge, and these are chunky resistances. He is very hard to put down (even if we ignore inqueity that he pairs very well with). At 100+ charges, he has 20% more energy resistance than the same rank Bishop! Add on top of that a 110% fury and 90% degen resistance. Nuts. And he doesn't actually need to be in overcharge There is so much to talk about, but he's just great. Basically no mystic he can't handle. Manthing is probably the main one he doesn't have a proper answer for. Pretty much everyone else...no chance
Just to add another tip for Nefaria, you can knock down your opponent with heavy without stunning them, just use his autoevade and use heavy… He will knock them down every single time…
Just pulled him, parrying the specials is gonna be a nice skill to hone, he's suck a good mystic killer and the fact that he demolishes the skill class of all classes makes him even more crazy.
Good to see you coming around on Count, saw a couple videos when he first came out and took him straight to R3. He is now max sig and crushes! Now do you think he should be in the list of top champs for 2024?
A couple of things you didn't get to mention are how great he is against Enchantress and against Serpent. He makes it simple to counter her spells. And vs Serpent he keeps the power gain under control without shutting it off but you get so many build up debuffs that you can take Serpent on the shock/bleed+ conflictor node in aw and still stay in overdrive. He still needs the Ironman synergy for AW, but he is so strong and tanky that it is worth it.
Well I knew/heard when I pulled him from Titan that he needed to be duped. So I didn't bother using him much at all but tried to roughly get a look over his abilities page but it was a lot for a champ I knew I wasn't gonna use unduped so I just just closed it... This video from you explained everything there is to know about him in such a simple way that I know now exactly when and how to use the guy. Thankyou for the video.
One thing that totally sucks is his bleed immunity limitations which result in you losing a bunch of damage when keyword ANY Non mystic champion applies bleed count Nefaria still is immune but he loses his charges should’ve only been for skill champions in my honest opinion then at times his parry just feels off
@ could be… my problem is he’s a very popular character, but the champ is built for 1 type of content, the rarest type… that’s fine for Aegon, but not Sentry. He’s someone many would enjoy being able to use in BGs, side quests, etc…
I’m only 5 minutes in but I’ve figured out why I’m not a fan and why he doesn’t work for me like he does in videos. I don’t trust him or myself enough to use him in PVP so I’m not getting the big payoff from my opponent having high MD. Definitely something to try. Thanks Vega!
I have a 6* version that's max sig and ascended. Nefaria has been my main carry for most content. If you want to witness him being pushed to an absolute limit, click this video link. It's an unlisted test I did with him to see just how much I can get away with in terms of the healing, resistances, and damage over all. th-cam.com/video/f5rBBuhS-ME/w-d-xo.html
I feel the need to point out that it looks like Vega was using R3 sig 200 but only level 1 (so not level 45). I think thats what I saw, but happy to be corrected if wrong.
Everyone likes those champs you don’t have to ramp up for damage, but if they made to many of those the game would be super easy and you would be blowing past story content, but I get not liking Nefaria though I like him got him as a 7 star and can’t wait to dupe him
He really doesn’t. He is so tanky that an occasional hit from unfazed does nothing to him. Been using him in tier 1 aw nonstop without synergy since he came out. Never a problem.
I'm sorry to be blunt, but that's such a horrible over-exaggeration and regurgitation of it only shows how little the people saying it understand the character and expose that they probably don't even play him at all. Let's ignore that NO-ONE is running Unfazed, let alone 5/5. If they are, then any Nefaria player should thank them because it cost them somewhere else. Unfazed at 5/5 = 55% chance for them to go Unstoppable. That's it. Okay, so you treat the fight like the opponent is stun immune. Problem solved. As someone who uses Nefaria to regularly destroy Alliance War bosses, trust me, he will be fine. Unfazed may slow him down, but it's not that bad and it's certainly not even close to shutting him down completely.
I really hurt the Nafaria fans with my last comment 😮 what I should’ve said is a single mastery ruins him FOR ME. If yall like him, that’s cool, but that single interaction with unfazed is enough for me not to rank him. Even if unfazed didn’t exist, I still haven’t seen anything from him that would put him above other science champs. That’s just my opinion 🤷🏻♂️
Mine will be going to R3 as soon as he hits that sig

Been taking 10 fights every war in tier 1 aw with him. And i know im not dying when im using him. He is simply amazing
if he isn't banned, he has been my goto for hazard shift lane. serpents, domino's etc he is really amazing.

R3 sig 107. Totally worth it. Underrated power control goat with lots of tankiness regen and damage

New Sentry is amazing, don't sleep on him

@@OsFan8 that’s a totally solid take. Glad the video was helpful.
@ of course I pulled him again today. Sig 160. But SIM is unawakened. I hate RNG.
Great video, I have mine at r3 just gotta get the dupe, titan update today!
Welcome to the party ;)
Try him against serpent and watch the magic.
Perfect timing, just pulled him from a titan! (Along with double hit monkey, not quite sure how to feel about that lol)

Why aren't you evading the Sasquatch specials? He's easy to get the last hit evade on him then punish and get the energy damage bonus.
@@brianlockner2690 the fight was intended to show a basic default nothing fancy result. And to show it’s still very good.
Count Nefarious ain’t no joke that’s awesome 🎉

Yup, you're right
@@grahamb9634 this is correct, once I took the sig up I saw the connections I was hoping to make
I noticed you did not test vs enchantress. How does he do against her?
He makes her a cake walk.
@@yarg2015 can do very well
Wish i had waited to R3 mine until he was awakened. Could be years before I awaken and sig 200 him
200 sigs is unrealistic. What's the sweet spot for him to have on average?
With 7* rintrah coming in...7* r2/3 nefaria mayb the best option to counter r3 rintrah 🙃
I see the utility. I just don’t see the damage. I’d like to try him out for myself if I pull him
I watched the video over again. I now understand the damage haha
Mine is r3 unduped, guess i won't have these utilities

Ya you are going to get him Nerf I have him at rank 3 😢
@@issaqali6835 hope you get him soon
I dislike his play style massively and will never rank him.
Yeah it’s important to rank champions you enjoy
Yep. I love him. My favorite champ of the year. BUT it’s totally fine if someone disagrees and both are valid. Rank and play the champs you love.
This is the most useless comment I've ever seen, everyone has a good champ they don't like.
He's weird I rhink, not in a good way
Wdym?
@@chideraumejiaku3895i think she’s rage baiting
I can’t get over the fact that he gets completely shut down by a single mastery
Well get over it 😂. Most people just don't run it.
