# Saga Node | Finishing the Hunt:
When the Defender falls below 60% health, #Saga attackers automatically gain a permanent 35% Power Efficiency (their Specials cost 35% less power).
As long as that Power Efficiency is active, every Special Attack you launch gives you permanent +10% Fury and permanent +10% Prowess.
This node cannot be shut down by Ability Accuracy reduction — it always works.
Antagonistic: Knock them down with Heavy Attacks and you get an Unblockable buff for 3 seconds plus 2 secs for eachDamaging effect on the defender- up to 9 secs.
Reckless Abandon: You get a fury when you hit them while YOU are unblockable. Max Stacks: 5
Roll With the Punches: They reduce effects of stun 20% each time you stun them UNLESS you have an active Buff or Prowess (active or passive).
Achilles Heel: They take 20% less damage except from Specials, Heavies, and Unblockable attacks.
Bring: 🧬 Mutant Champs — Prowess Counters & Unblockable Synergy
• Apocalypse: Prowess | • Bishop: Prowess | • Captain Britain: Prowess | • Cyclops (Blue Team): Prowess | • Dani Moonstar: Prowess | • Dust: Prowess | • Emma Frost: Prowess | • Gambit: Prowess | • Goldpool: Prowess | • Havok: Prowess | • Jubilee: Prowess | • Kitty Pryde: Prowess | • Magneto: Prowess | • Magneto (House of X): Prowess | • Nightcrawler: Prowess | • Northstar: Prowess | • Platinumpool: Prowess | • Professor X: Prowess | • Rogue: Prowess (Replicated Buff) | • Sauron: Prowess | • Storm: Prowess | • Storm (Pyramid X): Prowess | • Sunspot: Prowess | • Toad: Prowess
NOTE: You can use ANY Mutant with an active Buff to counter the Roll With the Punches node.
Notes:
All listed champs bring Prowess, directly countering Roll With the Punches.
Heavy attack knockdowns + unblockable synergy (Antagonistic) pair well with champs who can stack buffs (Apocalypse, Rogue, Magneto).
Pool variants (Goldpool, Platinumpool) are quirky but still provide Prowess utility.

Adamant Axiom: The effects of the Quest nodes cannot have their Ability Accuracy modified.
Retaliate: When you Block a Hit from the Defenders Special Attacks, you get a Fury Buff for 10 seconds.
Restrict and Refute: Intercepting him Invalidates 4 Prowesses. Cooldown: 3 seconds.
Fight of Flight: Every 12 seconds Sauron gains an Unstoppable Buff for 4 seconds. If you are far away from him, you gain the Unstoppable instead.
Bubble Shield: Each time you Block an Attack your Block Proficiency is reduced. After 10 Blocks he gains an Unblockable on his next Attack.
Normal EQ: Pretty easy fight with OG Iron Man. His SP1 keeps Sauron's Prowess in check. Just watch out for the Fight or Flight node- I got caught a couple times too close and he got the Unstoppable and I got a dino-beak to the face.
