Do you guys have any tips on how to deal with Mimics that have armor? It is the bane of my existence and is pretty much the only thing I have trouble fighting against along with rage. The characters that I use are Gargos, Omen, and Shadow Jago (Team Gargos). I just want to know if there is any way I can get past armor, whether it’s using certain heavy buttons or depleting it entirely and then going in. I would also like to know how many hits of armor an enemy has before they can get hit.
You can deplete the armor with enough normal hits. You can ignore it with grounded heavy attacks. Omen’s forward Heavy punch, Gargos Heavy punch or crouching Heavy kick, all Shago kicks, works well for this.
Also command throws ignore armor, so use devil divide a lot
Standing heavy normals beat armor.
Quick hitting shadow moves eat armor.
The hammer of Sol item, or any item that makes attacks unblockable, make both the above options easier.
