Battle Best 5 vs Meruem

[XXGenesis]

Build a Team of 5(max0 HxH characters capable of vs defeating Meruyem Pre-RG Absorbtion. With a brief summary on how or why you think they can win.

Plz use Characters That have Feats and Not Characters solely based on Hype...no Zodiacs, no maha zoldyck, no Ging, No Partison these ppl haven't so much lifted a finger just have Note worthy reputations....No RG's

Here's my list I would have to organize to take down the King.

1. Melon
2. Chrollo
3. Uvogon
4. Knuckle
5. Netero

Lol I'll be honest I don't even know how my team could really Beat Meryem he's a beast even before RG absorbtion, but if I had to stretch my beliefs it would go..

Netero plays point he's faster than Mereum, and doesn't need to move to Strike him he can even hold Mereum in place for a moment which is pivotal for this team. Knuckle is kinda useless even with his ability; Mereum won't explode like Yupi and he only uses the basic Nen principles he's not going to go bankrupt in 30mins. Knuckle being as fast and agile as he is can run up to Meruem and attack PotClean while Netero holds him in place buying him time to land the attack and run away to a safe place.

While Netero primarily does battle with the King and has PotClean on him, Melon would roll with Chrollo making him and all his attacks invisible and throughout the Chaos of Netero vs Mereum,CHrollo can use his indoor fish or even his Funny Cloth to defeat the King when give his oppurtunity. Chrollo being invisible can also teleport his fellow team mates around if ever their life is in imminent danger...And Uvo would be perfect for this ability to Land mutiple BBI that honestly I doubt will be doing much damage, but over time it may in combination wit Netero's emission slaps.

Can anybody create a team with only 5 that can take down the KING?

Re: Best 5 vs Mereum

Meleron plus the girl who can enslave someone by kissing them. HXH clearly doesn't have the concept of "I'm too powerful to be affected by this special ability" and then you just ask Mereum to kill himself.

But honestly without resorting to super contrived combos the point is that nobody could possibly fight him straight up. He's the pinnacle of evolution for a reason. If you're allowed to use Royal Guards you might actually do some permanent damage to him. If limited to humans, you simply don't have a way to hurt him. Given the Ants all have the ability to continue fighting even while sustaining fatal damage, any sneak attack isn't going to actually slow him down at all. I don't think even Uber Gon can actually kill him. The Royal Guards are excessively protective of their king to the point of paranoid. While Uber Gon's offense is very impressive, I think Mereum can still outlast him quite easily given Gon can only stay in that state for a short time. Now if Gon can stay in that state indefinitely he might have a chance.

Re: Best 5 vs Mereum

Netero to keep him busy and a competent Manipulator like Illumi and his needles should be more than enough I think.

Have Netero nuke himself up, then anybody else can clean up.

Re: Best 5 vs Mereum

- Netero: to pin down the King (somewhat). Seemingly the only user capable of doing so.

- Melo (for invis)

-Chrollo (all 'round versatility plus teleportation, in particular. For pure teleportation, Gorain could be used)

-Killua (for electric stun that was proven to work on a RG)

-Uvo/Gon/Phinx (for firepower).


So the plan is for Meleron to activate god's accomplice with Killua and Knuckle. While Netero is talking shit to the King, invis Shoot sneaks up to the King, Gon/Uvo/Charged up Phinx pop the King in the legs to damage his mobility, Killua stuns the King momentarily with electricity to prevent retaliation, then Chrollo teleports the trio out of range. Netero immediately proceeds to pile it on. Hopefully with the busted legs he wouldn't be able to keep up with Netero and get beaten, after hours of abuse, into paste.

To manipulate someone requires being able to do damage to them. The needles will just bounce off of Meruem's skin. Aside from the example I gave, every example of manipulation in HXH so far requires the user to be able to do damage to the opponent, which they won't be able to against Mereum.

Re: Best 5 vs Mereum

Simple team

- any 2 hunters
- Hisoka
- Kirua
- Alluka

The plan "Alluka kill the king"
"Ok"
*Hisoka sad face to miss a great fight*
Meruem died by heart attack, but i'm very sorry for the next guy who want to make a wish it may finish with the end of humanity...

Re: Best 5 vs Mereum

The ultimate team

1.Netero
2.Meleoron
3.Pitou
4.Pouf
5.Youpi

Re: Best 5 vs Mereum

Meleoron+Tonpa= Dead King.

Re: Best 5 vs Mereum

I would just say Poor Man's Rose. Game Over.
But what's the fun in that?

My Team consists of...

1. Ortho Siblings
2. Meleoron
3. Ikalgo
4. Rabid Dog
5. Shizuku


The strategy goes as such...

Meleoron places the Ortho Sibling's badge onto the King while using God's Accomplice
to transport Rabid Dog. Rabid Dog bites the King and hopefully paralyzes him.
While the King is trying to figure out the Ortho Siblings ability. Ikalgo will be
using Fleadom Fire to wound the King. Shizuku will use Blinky to drain
every last ounce of blood from the King who then dies.

Re: Best 5 vs Mereum

I believe Netero have done it already, even though in the expense of his life. But just for the sake of the argument, the team with the minimum losses would be:

1. Netero - Keep him busy
2. Morel - Trap him with the Smoky Jail
3. Feitan - Burn him with the Pain Packer
4. Shizuku - Suck out his blood to the last drop
5. Hisoka - Just in case something happens, he'll use his Bungee Gum to put things in order

Netero will get out from the jail in time. Feitan will do his Pain Packer in the Smoky Jail while him and Meruem are alone in it. After Feitan finishes, he won't be able to move, so Shizuku will suck out his blood if he's still alive.
Meruem is so fast and strong, so this should happen very fast that he wouldn't be able to do anything. But if he does, there is the genius Hisoka for insurance; I'm sure he'll figure out something.

Re: Best 5 vs Mereum

I'll be honest, I don't think there exists a team who could defeat Meruem. The only exception would be Alluka, but using her was probably not the point of the thread, but rather to find out which team could defeat Meruem in a proper fight (no Rose bomb either).

In order to defeat Meruem, you need insane speed (or insane defense if you lack the speed) and extreme offensive power, clearly surpassing the Zero Hand by a good margin. Most people we have seen would get speedblitzed by Meruem. No one has shown a superior attack than the Zero Hand. Teamwork is meaningless if most members either can't even survive very long or can't deliver a lethal strike or both.

I guess the possibility of this combination explains why Meruem needed his Royal Guards despite vastly surpassing them in terms of strength and Nen capacity.

We are talking about Meruem before he ate his guards though. While he was certainly stronger, the gap between him and the Royal Guards should not be very big. Even with the will to kill Pitou he didn't manage to make her bleed, his Hatsu is also not useful in combat, he just use brute force. He can't be way faster, stronger and more durable than the other guards at least he didn't prove that he was before his power up. I don't think he could win against two of them simultaneously for example.

Its funny that it was I who created ths thead, but completely aggree with you. The King is damn near unbeatable no matter who you out him up agains't; Even if ther is a team for him to fight he's easily still faster than every characters we've seen.

I just want to see if anybody can come up with an hoest scnaio of which tamc beat him to pulp or use some type of tricky nen to win.

Mereum took thousands and thousands of ows from Netero before he ever felt pain or a painful discomfort,And barely was damaged by all of Netero's aura....So BBI and Sphinx Cyclone technique isn't going to cut it...

Mereum's Hatu was to absorb the hatsu and aura of his Meals. Not really useless when all he has to do is bite your head off.

The RG were indeed pretty close to the King in terms of overall ranking. But Mereum was stronger than them, he had more aura than them and physically stronger...But they were honestly the closes beings comparble to him.

Note: I've limited RG from being used..They would nver fight him anyway.

Manipulators need to pierce Mereum's skin to control him.

1k +Netero's attacks did nothing,BBI and othe Enhancer thecnque's seen aren't going to damage him.

Re: Best 5 vs Mereum

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Pitou imply that Gon in his adult form could pose a threat to pre-rosebomb Meruem? And this very Gon literally stomped the shit out of Pitou? How can we conclude that the gap between Pitou and Meruem isn't that big?

Oh, you are right.

Well, Meruem was unable to make her bleed at full power. Gon was said to be a problem for the King but it certainly didn't mean that he was not the strongest, it was shocking because of the huge power up.

Gon is an Enhancer so close combat is his specialty, he was able to make Pitou bleed with a single kick. Pre-Rose Meruem was fighting only with close combat, nothing else he had not eaten enough Nen users to be called unbeatable. Gon had also Paper and Scissors though he didn't use them.

Post Rose Meruem is way stronger than adult Gon but I don't see how Pre-Rose Meruem could be stronger than Adult Gon when Gon is much stronger physically.

Well the King was trying to lob off Pitou's head with a swift strike from his tail; To his surprise his RG is durable enough survive whiscmical killing blow without sever damage. The King as hit all of his RG's whismically and they all recieved minimal damage.

Now this is not to say the the King is weak but that his RG's are pretty damn tough. Base stats alone they are the closest creatures to his level of strength.

IMO Meruem can kill each of his RG's with about the same level of difficulty..And thats Low-Maybe Mid Difficulty..He's just faster, smarter and stronger.

Gon is an Enhancer so close combat is his specialty, he was able to make Pitou bleed with a single kick. Pre-Rose Meruem was fighting only with close combat, nothing else he had not eaten enough Nen users to be called unbeatable. Gon had also Paper and Scissors though he didn't use them.

Post Rose Meruem is way stronger than adult Gon but I don't see how Pre-Rose Meruem could be stronger than Adult Gon when Gon is much stronger physically.

Uber Gon was actually much much more superior to Pito.
1. He easily disappeard from in front her sight
2. Even with her enhanced movement through her Hatsu, she was WTF kicked in the face
3. Rock Jajanken to the face sealed the deal.

Pre-Rose Meruem vs Uber Gon.....I definitely think Uber Gon would win (Mid-Difficulty) because he posses the power and speed to hurt the kick with just physical attacks and his
Jajanken would be juss as effective as it was agains't Pitou.

Post-Rose Mereum is Haxx'd out And is seriously unbeatable I seriously hope we don't see any more creatures reach such a level.

The King was more than confident that he could 1 hit KO Pouf if he attacked seriously(after Pouf survived his tail slap with minimum damage). I don't think he's someone who would think that if he couldn't do it. Just because he intended to kill Pitou, doesn't mean he was attacking with full strength. He simply attacked with enough power to kill the grunts thinking that Pitou was more or less the same.

Post-Rose Mereum is Haxx'd out And is seriously unbeatable I seriously hope we don't see any more creatures reach such a level.

Well said. I would seriously be disappointed if any character ever reaches Post-Rose Meruem level. Even his Pre-Rose level is something I don't want see(maybe at the very end of the Manga I'd be okay with it).

Plus, Gon was using nen. The king wasn't.
