Shock Pulse will bounce if it hits a deployable like Ying's Illusions or Barik's Turrets. If you are playing competitive and he is picked early, avoid using these two to make Shock Pulse more difficult to use.

Shock Pulse will not bounce if it hits a shield. Take advantage of this if you can as a front liner.

Keep an eye on whether or not Androxus is using the Dark Stalker legendary card. If not and you know Nether Step is on cooldown, Makoa can use Dredge Anchor and Androxus will not be able to Nether Step away.

If you are a front liner with a shield, try to use wrecker to force him to use Recharge. You can then shield without Torvald being able to absorb it.
