Seems like the Fiend one got his defense against Izuna Launchers improved as both Lunar and Eclipse Scythe couldn't lift him most of the time while Kasumi's launcher destroyed him on Master.
Normal one also has better protection against the old Izuna Loop (YXYY) as I could only get a max of 5 repeats and usually he got out after the first or second one.

So I'm wondering: how do you guys fight them now, especially the fiend version? Been trying to figure out a legit tactic but no luck sofar against him.

PS

I know about the Scythe SoB OHKO, just want to fight him fair and square for Trial practise.

I saw a video of that OHKO with no description on how it works.
Whats are the exact actions (on how to OHKO Epigonos)? What I've been doing is slide behind him when he charges scythe UT and press X (with my scythe). The SOB connects, but it only hurts him a little.

This is probably obvious:
I was told today how to dodge Epigonos (when it blinks) ninpo. Apperently everyone figured that out last year in NG3, except me! haha!

I dodge to the side out of habit, but I don't think it matters as it takes somewhere between 1-5 Scythe SoB's to OHKO every time I went for it. Kinda random in that regard...

After finding out he only allows 2-3 hits and realising he has an enormous health bar I just said "Screw it!" and OHKO'ed him xd

PS

The KG's Air XYX still works well against him, despite his UN protection buff against Izuna combo's.
