Playing against Apollo
Their combo: Apollo lunges in with Flawless Advance (up to 3 lunges), braces with Riposte to deflect the next hero attack, then dashes to any enemy he chooses and stuns them.
When to fight: Riposte only answers hero attacks. Don’t shoot into it; wait until it’s used, then commit while it’s on cooldown.
Beware: Itani Lo Sahn makes him invulnerable while it plays out and gives him bonus damage against heroes under half health. Back off if you’re low.
