Well, there are many cheesy tactics that are done in the game. Buying/selling idols exploit. Coordinated purchasing/dropping of items early game in order to buff up one specific demigod who becomes your "killer", UB/reg stacking, etc. At this point in time, it is kosher I guess. It will be a problem for all the players who will rely heavily on this tactic if it gets nerfed (and most likely it will).

I think that stuns/interrupts still work in this case. I have not tried it as of yet.

No idea what you mean by "channeled effect", but if you use, say, foul grasp on a shielded Oak it will still stop HoL even if he doesn't take damage. Interestingly enough, you'll also regain health even though it's not causing damage.

Im not quite sure what si1foo was saying in the first part but if any move that has the ability to interupt will stop HoL on a shielded Oak.

Still - if you dont have a stun, then how are you meant to counter this?

Run like hell, and pray to the Allfather his movement speed isn't higher than yours.

Nerf it so that being hit interrupts it instead of damage. As Dalzk pointed out not all DG have a stun or interrupt.

EDIT: Regulus and QoT are the only DG who don't have some sort of stun or interrupt, making them unable to counter the Shield+HoL combo.

Penitence is an interupt, just saying.

[Edit] Ninja'd, as always

reg can slow down a shitload so no matter what ull be able to get away

qot  has shield of her own so she can do the combo  and  she can heal  with munch shambles

Nerf. I've seen this used too and It's pretty rude. Oak can also sheild his other team mates no? could make a whole team pretty invincible.

I don't find this particularly effective, as once he's healed himself, he's wasted a cooldown that costs 4.25k, as well as his best assist spell. Feel free to destroy him afterwords. Running away when he's just finished it is exactly what he wants. The most important thing, however, is interrupting the heart.

P.S.: Channeled spells are those which your character must continue to cast in order to see results. Most spells in this game are 'casted', in that a character charges for a brief period, then unleashes the attack. Channeled spells are slightly different, in that the effect continues while the character is casting, such as UB's grip.

pseudom i believe that  tb fireball would be a better example orr those 3k hp pots

hmm  my bad 

stun doesn't stop  hol from working it just stops him from moving
