How to counter Pewgway taunt/Ress-pod-Chimera

use hippo with penetrate and do laijutsu. actually scythe (res) sand storm earthquake pod and marty is the best solution.

Sand storm wont help, since pewgway plays last and cast rain.

I guess il try to the ress-pod-scythe martyr tactic vs that.

I have to say,

Taunt/ foresight and martydom on any res monster is a thing in this game that just pisses me off to no end! Yes there are ways to counter it but the monsters that have penetrate don't get a weather boost and are slower than Neon/Rhor, you usually are 2 shot dead by rhor. I guess I will have to put AoE skills on monsters just to pvp with, and hope the Aoe skill actually hits something for one and does enough damage to amount to anything. It's either that or change talents to barrier at the cost of who know how many runes, because changing talents is Bs too. Land on same talent 4-5 times in a row? Really? whatever.

It's a cheap tactic, and shows that some player's can't win without some sort of cheap move, glitch or cheat. I think it's BS and needs nerfing again and needs looked at.
Yes I lost some matches from this, yes I am mad, yes I am ranting. Don't like it? I don't care, flame on! Just makes it that much more that this game is going to crap. And it won't be long until it's like HD. I've said it here before, When it does get like HD, Ill be going.

Whatever, I don't really care anymore. Ill do my challenges, be done in an hour or so and log out. Go play some other game that will hold someones interest more, and not rely on pvp to keep players occupied. I could go on about the other things that are wrong in game, but I don't want to take over the OP's topic.

ya i know sand storm wont help it. but u make scythes not only for killing those combos anyway. pod boulder earthquake and marty is the best one. if u only do PoD and then marty ull definitely lose.first u have to play with earthquake

Just seems like most people here have verte these days.

Not trying to "toot" any horns, but...my husband (TheRealGobY) was the 1st to get verte on S1, and the first to have a full verte team(has had same team ever since), and it seems that since he was on vacation from work and starting pvping again, S1 seems to be showing up with verte's again LOL.

With that being said, it's funny that people are brining in vertes again, and trying to be cheap, so we've noticed. People loosing to him constantly with their OEL's are now taking one out and throwing in a foresight verte instead.... Foresight verte? Pressure Verte? It's disgusting to see people who see someone with a succesful monster, bring theirs out of retirement and try and be cheap with it, like a taunt foresight pewg.

EDIT: I beat res teams all the time with my pewg, I gave him thorn II, so when they res after doing martydom or w/e and res, my thorn kills them, I do it allllll day long to res teams.

Its effective when doing 1v1, but in 2v2 dual duel its pointless since pewgway loses taunt and the other monster will get focused down.

Penetrate Matyr Hippo first turn, with Ghost w/Punishment to finish off the PoDed (since it goes first) Chim. You are down one monster he is down two.

If Pentrate doesn't pierce Foresight (I don't know), use Shadow Storm instead of Punish to eat the Foresight and still do more DMG to the Chim since the Ghost will outspeed your Hippo.

Though if the Matyr kills off the Chim first turn maybe a better skill can be used, like a tap or self buff. Or if you can Foresight your own Matyr (once again dont know but given you can Thorn your teammate after they sacrifice I assume so), you could use any monster not just Ghost as your number two.

Hippo with martyr?

Can't Neutral monsters learn all Neutral skills? I just assumed that Martyr Scythes were only popular for there SPD because they were the fastest hardest hitting monster that could use it?

Otherwise why did they not make it an element locked skill that matches its element like the Weather or Mirror skills.

*edit*

My experience with Neutral monsters is limited to breeding and leveling to get an S Hippo to get my encyclopedia as high as possible to get Levi, I've never used them in battle (and my Scythe only has Self Sacrifice).

Only rock types can learn self sac and martyr. The reason it's a physical skill is so that it can kill water and gràss monsters since it doesn't have an elemental disadvantage.
