Re: Accidentally chose champions without relic for cerastes in crucible
Guys he's really not that bad without a relic. I fought him with a 6* r3 guillotine without a relic and once I got down 2 of his shields she was doing pretty nice damage.
By no means should you restart if you're using like a maxed 6* or 7* r3 or even r4 for that fight. It will take a couple revives. But it will not take hours, and it will not be too dreadful.
Re: More Summoner’s Fest Points
There is another 7,500 from unreleased side quests and 1 more raids week
Nightmare Raids 12,000
Selling Special Awakening Gems
I guess things might get added to the romance pool but I'll never need to awaken rebirth champs that are already awakened.

Re: Is there a bug in store for buying 5*Relics 200 units, and Thronbreaker Relics 300 units?
It sounds like you’re buying Battlecast relics from the Crystal page rather than the Statcast relics from Unit Store, unless there’s different pricing for lower Progression titles
Re: Whenever you start to think "Hey, it can't get any worse."
I had the same thought. A big part of player growth is trying to beat content that you are probably under leveled for. I remember trying uncollected difficulty out for the first time years ago and struggling with it. Despite my struggles and being under leveled, I still powered through because the rewards helped me grow my account. Not anymore through. Now your growth is even more dependent on the constantly changing opinions of Kabam
Re: 6 star rebirth sig stones and ag ... what's the point
Fillers, inflating rewards, giving more visuals so players complaint less about missing rewards.

Re: The relic event should have been a realm event
What they should have done was give points for winning fights with stat casts relics. At least then, people can grind points for free even if it's going to take a long time.
Regardless, people were already buying 70 crystals as soon as the event dropped. Spenders will keep spending and Kabam will keep making more paywalled events
Re: Whenever you start to think "Hey, it can't get any worse."
Exactly what has happened to my top 60 alliance. Done and dusted 5 players have plans to quit next month and looking to dump their MCOC account to highest bidder.

Mini-tips on 8.4.6 & Glykhan
Just beat Glykhan. First of all - kudos to the game team on that boss. THE most fun boss so far ... period. All skill, no annoying node shenanigans. Difficult, but very very enjoyable.
TL;DR - Use any team that gets you through the path. Anyone can beat Gly in Phase 1 and 2 - just forget about the punishments - more trouble then they are worth. Definitely use Jugg for Phase 3 - he uniquely crushes the rooted challenge. Fight normal lasts 1% and don't panic.
Team:
1) My team was: 7r2 StormX, 7r3 Medusa, 7r3 Sinister, 6r4 Apoc, 7r2 Silk (unduped). I swapped a 6r4 Jugg for Medusa for Glykhan. You can easily do this with 6r4s (maybe 6r3s with skill)
2) Sinster and Apoc were for synergies mostly. Apoc took Red Gaurdian to gain 4 genetic codes for horseman (easy fight). Sinister took Mr. Negative (not so easy but not terrible).
3) StormX for OG Gully - easy fight - just get to L2.
4) Medusa took CM - harder than expected.
5) Silk took Ebony May - falter was annoying. Silk died because I was stupid. Finished with StormX I think.
6) Medusa slayed Scorpion even with only 1/3 health remaining. Armor shatter shut down the evade.
I know there are lots of other counters. Just bring what you need to get through the path without too much trouble. You can take Gly with anyone really.
My tips for Glykhan:
1) Don't stress. I still had PTSD from fighting Bahamet to get to Valiant. I can't track "all the stuff" - Glykhan is very manageable.
2) I like MCOCNoob - but he's wrong on one count. Vorhees is correct. Don't worry about the Devine Punishments. I mean if you want to do 3x of the medium-light into block to get 3 Prowess do that. But if you are an average player DO NOT parry stun 3x to begin the fight. Your muscle memory and reactions to the AI will get them anyway.
3) Medium and specials are quite easy if you don't make it complicated. Mediums - just swipe back twice and punish to the rhythm (BACK BACK FORWARD). Works 60% of the time every time. (Actually it I did miss here and there but it was pretty easy).
4) Specials - For phases 1 and 2 - don't even worry about which special. Just keep swiping backwards (yeah I know - bad technique) until either 1) the jump back on S1 or 2) you dex the fireball - afterward just rush in and punish. Sometimes he'll recover too fast but it was very consistent.
5) Phase 1 and Phase 2 - are quite doable with any heavy hitter. Apoc and Storm were both surprisingly good. Sinister (meh). Silk (meh).
6) Phase 3 - here the one you need JUGGERNAUGHT was the GOAT. Much better than Storm or Silk.
7) Phase 4 - final 1%. He converted in the middle of a combo and I died. Rather than revive Jugg, I took in Apoc. Apoc destroyed him. Anyone could have - just fight normal! Bonus tip: for this phase - when rooted you can just block the first two hits of specials and only dodge the 3rd. Heavy's are the same cadence.
I think folks get too panicky on Phase 4. Don't try to dance around or whatever. Just slow it down and fight normal.
Other champs that I felt worked well for the path but didn't take for one reason or another:
1) Morbius - that L2 slays - I think he would devastate Glykhan
2) Professor X - same - his buildup was problematic
3) Kitty - I never got her to work as well as I wanted - but I'm also not very skilled with her kit
