Is there a way to avoid or counter Pyrogen's 1-hit KO?
In Mighty No. 9, the boss Pyrogen (Mighty No.1) will enrage his health is =< 50%. When enraged, he'll glow with a blue flame, but all of his attacks become deadlier.
To make matters worse, he'll grab you and destroy you in one hit if you're caught in any of his attacks. No other (Mighty) boss have this ability.
Is there any tactics to avoid or counter the enrage mode of Pyrogen?
Best Answer
I've found one possible way to avoid this attack.
If you've defeated Seismic (Might No. 4), the power gained from him (ReXelection: Seismic) has invincible hit-boxes in front and below Beck. As long as you're holding down the attack button, you can run though Pyrogen or (and better for damage) try to bounce on Pyrogen's head with your tank threads.
Note: you can take damage from the explosion Pyrogen causes, even if you run past him. Since your back isn't protected, running though him will nullity damage from the front and hopefully allow you to escape the blast before it happens. If you jump on his head though while in ReXelection: Seismic mode, you'll avoid all damage as long as you keep bouncing after the explosion.
