Any tips for expert wasp?

This fight is proving a total nuisance for me. The Energon shield is messing with me too much along with the other mods, and I keep getting wiped out quickly. I’m clean out of revives because of this, and losing faith in my ability to get his map 100%.
I’ve nailed him on the hardest path, but Energon shield path is the main issue. Just losing too much health by he time I get to him.
My team is r4 g1 megs, r4 shockwave, r4 galvatron, r4 grimlock, r1 5* starscream. That’s the best I’ve got, don’t have any other r4’s I can sub in. If anyone has any advice on how to get him down consistently it’d be greatly appreciated

As for wasp himself... He is tough, no doubt about it. I basically ignore energon shield and hit him anyway. If you don't and you try to dance around too much, you get cornered and violated.
Then, when energon shield is down, you try too hard to get a combo in, and you get blasted.
Just play as though the shield doesn't exist. You'll find you last much longer. Sure, he will heal a bit, but it's better than losing all your bots.
Your shockwave is an excellent counter to wasp. You can actually block 3 ranged attacks for no damage and hammer him with shock charges whether the shield is up or not. Abuse that.
One more thing. Try to only move when you need to against Wasp. It seems to confuse the AI a bit and slow down his constant attack pattern. The trick here is to always be holding block and swipe when you have to move. Otherwise you walk into him and eat it.
Try it out.
Yup. This is what I was getting at. Even though he is healing, you are charging your power bar, and you make up for the non damage eventually.
I fought him with Bludgeon and I'm sure the Bleeds he can inflict with his light attacks helped me too.
That said I did have to revive once, if I remember correctly, but by that time Wasp had very little health left.
Edit: I actually found Expert Waspinator MUCH easier than I expected and the final Expert Cheetor boss MUCH harder than I expected.
Funny saying bout Cheetor being harder, I found him a breeze compared to wasp. Already got Cheetor 100%, although it cost me a painful amount of Energon to get there.
I'm agree with you regarding chp 3 final boss. Cheetor is way more harder than wasp. You basically dead if you got hit by cheetor's 5 hit combo.
Bleeds with the shield up.....no, not that I remember. If I did it would have been unintentional.
Exactly. That is why I said Cheetor was harder. I revived once at most for Wasp. I had to revive like 4 or 5 times for Cheetor.
Seriously though, Bee makes Wasp an easier challenge than Cheetor.
I use Rhinox against Waspinator (with no Beast Purification synergy on) and managed to take away over 50% of his health in some fights. Bots with damage over time help a lot
Btw, has anyone tried using duped Soundwave or Blaster against him?
Chapter one at least.Even for completion the rewards are good.
As of Wasp- do you have Ratchet?Shockwave has good synergies with him,Mirage,...not sure who else was it...Check it out ingame.
If you combine a good synergy team,bring a debuff or shock immune bot(Shockwave has 100% block proficiency against range attacks), invest some in particular Masteries,use boosts when you fight him.
You will get his number eventually.
Another tactic if you are dying,but he is at 2-3% health,do not fight him anymore.You will kill him,but then he will revive at 6-7% health and will get you.Then you need to start all over.
Better to wear him down to 1-2% health and die on purpose.Then kill him with another bot,who is at full.
Also you need to range shot in return and move up and down non stop.
Thanks again for the advice guys, nothing in game has gave me this much hassle before. Seeing improvement though, just need luck and no more instant sp1 after revive from wasp. Pretty much what destroyed my last attempt at him
I completely forgot about that, and just done it. FINALLY got my second win against him. Sadly had to use a revive and a couple repairs but got him.
Only 3 more times left, and expert is finished for the first time. Will be glad when it’s over.
Edit
Went through the full Energon shield path too. Had to plan my strategy carefully but made it through them all with just scream.
Once you get inside for a combo, don't back off, just block after your combo and sidestep, then start another combo. If you knock him down, time a melee hit to connect as he is getting up.
There are things to be aware of using the "meaty hit" technique:
1) you MUST be aware of his power bar. The AI is adept at firing a special to counter your meaty hit. Be ready to sidestep at all times.
2) Wasp is annoyingly good at back stepping and firing off a ranged combo from a knockdown. You must be ready to sidestep on the event you miss that first hit and start another combo immediately to keep the pressure on.
3) You will whiff air from time to time. Again, be ready to sidestep and just keep the pressure on.
I find this technique useful when I am fighting wasp with Rhinox or Mirage, because you can absorb special attacks with much less pain in the event of a mistake.
It is very difficult to master, and I suggest practicing in another game mode before trying to utilize it.
A raid with LGM node on demo Megatron is a good place to start. Because he gets unstoppable periodically, it forces you to move in and out repeatedly and get the timing down.

I hereby decree if you are incapable of defeating wasp on expert with a squad of 4/40 bots.. watch this video, then quit the game. Be warned, there is zero strategy to this fight. Do not expect anything ninja, I fought this way to prove it can be easily done, lol.
At the start of the fight Wasp has range+ damage (for 7sec) and energon shield so all you have to do is stay far away and be patient, do not engage till the range+ icon turns off. You will have a tendency to rush in when the energon shield goes down, but dont do it if the range attack boost mode is active. You will get small windows in between where the range+ is inactive and also the shield is down. That is the time to do some serious damage. When the shield is inactive, every hit you give is a lot more powerful so one complete combo can bring down a lot of health. And when the shield or range turns back on then back away. . dodge range. . . . and repeat. . . patience is the key.
Another helpful bot in this situation is BLASTER, as you may know blaster can slow down bullets which happen to be Wasps most powerful weapon. So if you have Blaster on your team then you don't have to worry about the high speed deadly range attacks.
Kinda done all of it with scream and shockwave. Thanks to all for the advice, helped me 100% expert for the first time.
Now to auto run easy and medium to recoup the Energon I blitzed on repairs. Try and cut some of the losses
Congratulation.
