Now the main event. The difficulty went up through the roof with this fight. I used photon for him cause she was atleast a bit tankier than the rest of the team. U can forget about all those vids on YouTube with pause technique or notes. I tried both got used to his sp1 after 4-5 deaths. U can try pausing to read notes but it’s really hard to evade afterwards. I couldn’t get it maybe you can depends on people most of my alliance mates couldn’t get it done with pause.

Then got him to 2 phase. So what’s next ????? Absolutely terrible game design work. I couldn’t get a single complete sp2 evade in the whole run not even 1. All I could hope for was him to throw sp1 cause that was easier. All the tips saying notice the eyes for colour didn’t work. Let me be honest I am a normal f2p valiant player not too overly skilled like msd or the pros. All I could do was try to focus on all the things going on the fight and still mess up. I just revived my way through the phases with each phase making it even harder to get the sequence right with them speeding up. I didn’t really care about the phase where you have to do actions after special cause I was not getting through those specials perfectly 😂. And so after all that I hit the final phase thankfully the final phase felt balanced cause his immortality is persistent charge based so just use team revs and keep intercepting. On good runs I could take 25 charges off in one go before even facing his sp2. All depends on ai .

I know we’ve been blessed with a great tactic for lane 9 the past few seasons, but with the new tactic AND the new map coming, there should be some discussion.

1) how lame is it that they put Red Hulk in the Titan then they removed the poison-incinerate fights? That was his biggest use in alliance content and it wasn’t close.

2) uhhhh…now what? I might be missing some, so feel free to add, but in terms of tactics defenders with immunity, we basically have these:

Bleed/rupture: no one double immune, and since tactic attackers are mutant/mystic, no shrug or cleanse.

Shock and poison: Diamond Emma if you can keep her in that phase. Only Hulkling, Cassie, Antman, Arcade and Maestro beyond the tactic.

Poison and Coldsnap: Iceman and Diamond Emma within the tactic. Only warlock is straight immune to both of these iirc.

Incinerate-bleed - just Diamond Emma and Iceman again, then you add Colossus.

The search function on here is a drudge to use, but wasn’t there a whole thing about everyone using “backup” on lane 9 and wanting to change how that was handled? Now we’ve backslid to the same place. It’s disappointing.
