Dragon_Nexus said: Bishop is a damn awful character to fight when he's low level. You can feed him a ton of blue with even a minor cascade. No point saving him till last either because he jumped in front if you do too much damage. And then after so much damage he hits you back. And then stuns you.One of the best defensive 4*s in the game and a total pain in the butt. He's almost worse than Rogue.

Use someone like Cloak & dagger that puts attack tiles on the board. Hit's her for damage after she jumps in front and her damage reduction doesn't apply to them. Maybe add in someone with a cheap stun and she'll go down easy enough. Bishop I would think you need to take the approach of not trying to overpower. Hit him with weaker attacks that won't set him off until you can stun him or hit him hard enough to just take him out.
OJSP said: DarthDeVo said: The issue with that tactic means you'll basically need to be using a 4* team against him. For the most part, Bishop will be triggered just off of 5* match damage. So, if you're typically a 5* team but you switch to 4*s to take out a Bishop team, you may as well hang out a sign that says, "Buffet Now Open" because you will get eaten alive. I understand what you meant, but that's not entirely accurate. The visible defensive team after we change from the 5* team will depend entirely on the levels of the 4*s we use. If played carefully, the worst thing to happen is giving the other team an easy retaliation node, while still having the 5* team as the defensive team.

I suppose I should have clarified that I was speaking for myself, though I imagine a fair amount of 5* players have a roster similar to mine. Most champs between 450-460, with a few in the mid-460s; all 4*s champed to varying degrees, with the bulk of them falling in the 300+ range. If anything, others probably have their 4*s at higher levels than mine, which I would think makes it more likely their 4*s would show as the team others can queue. But if is all three 4*s, then maybe it wouldn't show. I know others experiment with this much, much more than I do, because I really don't experiment with it at all. So I am fairly out of my element when discussing this topic.

ammenell said: my best bet against bishop or rogue would be stun first, then unload and hopefully take them out rather fast.if its rogue only, attack tiles are the way to go, as already stated. cardusa against rogue, and any team centered around gamora or ice man against bishop.
