A Hammer Cudgel Angler killed my level 50 Ao Ming in 1 mag. 1! I have yet to kill an angler on my own; since I am perpetually stuck in only free for all, I am always on my own. I am pretty weak, and only have an Ares, Blitz, Ao Jun, and Hover,with a falcon and scorpion in storage.
I have a plan for how to counter with each.
With the Ao jun, Since I have redeemers, I shoot it until it goes into its ability. Once it's in its ability I fly somewhere safe. I need somewhere to land where I wont die.
With the Ares, I have 2 Marquess, an atomizer and Hussar, I shoot from a distance, let it use it's ability, and use mine the moment it comes out if it's phase shift. This lets me do some damage, but the Ares is dead.
The Blitz can run; 1 scald 2 magnums and a toxin with the Otto pilot is decent enough, but this enemy is too much. I guess range is my only option.
The Hover, if I find a way out of the map again, will be able to shoot it from there. If not, then just flying away could help. It's the robot that can almost get away.

This lets me do some damage, but the Ares is dead. I'm not an expert, but wouldn't Ares' ability absorb the damage from the Angler's ability and charge the built-in weapon? If so, you would be better off activating your ability while the Angler is coming at you with his...

It's not for charge, it's for protection and baiting them to fire a little into the shield. If the shield was up into the ability, even if I did fire at them if they didn't fire back it does nothing. The ability's base damage is relatively low. I'm pretty sure it doesn't absorb the damage from the ring of fire, but with 100k hp, I don't want to find out. Also, using ability early does nothing else but let them know to charge at me. You get slower, and once they get in the shield I'm dead.
I once fought an Angler with Cudgel Hammer and 1 clip killed my level 50 Ao Ming. If that same Angler fired into my shields with all its power I still wouldn't be able to kill it, physical shield or not.
Waiting to fire gives you about 10 seconds of protection, and if I'm out of the blinding range (say they're 200 meters away) then I can shoot them when they can't shoot me. It won't do much but keep me alive, so most of the time the shield is a shield, not a weapon.
If I wanted to use it as a weapon, since people know not to fire into absorbers, then I just need to wait for them to start firing and block bullets once I know their coming. It's still really useless though.

Loki with maxed RH, ARH, and Nitro always staying out of reach of Angler zone: Moment 1: Get Angler’s attention Moment 2 and subsequent moments as Angler chases you around the map forgetting to harass and kill the rest of your team: My teammate looks at me: This was to tickle Oliver Kloesov Loki soft spot. No, not like that BB , get your mind out of the gutter

Hope that 2 or 3 other blueberries in the vicinity are as fed up with it as you are, and commit ALL of your combined energies, abilities, and life forces to eradicate it as swiftly and viciously as possible?
