Act 6.4.1 has a Do You Bleed path that is kind of straight forward until you face Gwenpool.
What makes Gwenpool Tough?
Do You Bleed?: She takes damage from bleed only. Bleed damages are doubled
Clapback: Applying bleed debuff to Gwenpool will also apply to the Attacker.
Safeguard: Each blocked attack reduces block proficiency by 6%, up to a maximum of 80% reduction.
So how to make the damage?
Counters to Gwenpool
Use a Mutant Champion that Makes Opponent Bled (Wolverine/X-23 or others) as a Horseman
How to make them Horseman: You will need Apocalypse in Team and gain 4 charges. You can either gain defeating opponents with him or Use Cable or Mister Sinister Synergy. If you are using Synergy, you will have to start a fight then even if you die, you can revive him and he will hold 4 charges. Use his charge and the next mutant you will use will become a Horseman. The horseman doesn’t take any bleed damage, so you can easily defeat Gwenpool.
Ægon (Duped)
Gwenpool is the last fight, so you get the chance to do enough fight to keep the combo. So get a good amount of combo before reaching gwenpool. You just need to hit her block and that does enough damage. It will take around 100 block hits to finish here or a little more depending on the combo you have. Remember that you should never use a Special 2 attack on her to cause bleed damage, else you will die from bleed.
Use a Robot Champion
A robot champion cannot take bleed damage. So you can use the following:
- Ultron (Prime): It’s going to be a long, real long fight.
- Warlock: His heavy can do bleed damage, but you probably have to parry Gwenpool and that will decrease your block proficiency up to 80%. So he should probably be the last option unless you don’t have other counters
Domino
Domino has the ability to get rid of bleed debuff faster. She can finish her with a couple of revives, depending on how lucky you get. Better use Suicide master.
Can I Use Blade?
I won’t recommend. Blade can shrug off debuff faster when he fills the power bar. However, you need to use a Special attack to cause her to bleed. Once you use Special, you will lose power and Blade won’t shrug off bleed debuff faster (the bleed debuff that you will get because of Clapback node). Blade can cause bleed with Parry as well, but each parry will reduce your block proficient by 6% (up to 80%). So Blade will go down faster.
Did I forget a counter? Mention in the comment section, I will be happy to include if it is legit.

One of my guildies pointed out OML as a possible counter with his massive bleed, and the fact that he stretches out bleed and makes them less on him to be able to be countered by his regen.

Old Man Logan does bleed damage with Special attacks only, and special attack shuts down regeneration buff that also removes bleed resistance. So he doesn’t seem quite useful here.

I didn’t mention Blade earlier because he is not the champ you would want to use. I have updated the article mentioning the reason. Sorry for the later reply, just noticed this comment.

Wolverine as a Horseman owns this entire lane, including the mini. Once the first bleed is on, if any of your next bleeds are Crit Bleeds the opponent will basically melt. Most fights over in 15-25 hits, including Gwenpool as the Horsemen synergy gives you 100% Bleed Resistance.

Yes, I will update it. It was written before Apocalypse launch. Thanks for the reminder.
