Best Of

@Squidopus thanks for the thoughts. Will Vox work for future ant man? He’s who I’m most concerned about. Also, what’s the strategy for when using Wiccan for knull?

I didn’t use Vox in my run against Fantman, but they should handle him well as long as you manage the Nano-Armor ups. Vox’s ideal rotation involves alternating sp1 and sp2 anyways, so you just gotta stay on top of your intercepts. Keep in mind that the sp1 disabling isn’t technically a Special Lock so Vox isn’t immune.

There isn’t any particular strat with Wiccan against Knull, you mostly play him normally, just with the addition of avoiding blocking where possible because of the Necrotic boon. Build and pause your spells, stack Plasmas with sp2 whenever you can for damage, and use sp1s to regen off chip damage and extend your life a bit if you get low. It’s not super important, but it helps to push Knull to sp2 whenever you can because the 10 Armor Breaks become 10 Incinerates. You don’t have to worry about triggering Corruption if Knull does throw his sp1 since Wiccan is immune to RC and he prevents the Unstoppable + Unblockable Buffs with Neutralize, you just gotta remember that while it’s active you can’t trigger sp1 regen (it’ll just get replaced with Degen). You probably won’t get a solo, but you can do it in a few revives and relatively little stress since Wiccan takes care of a lot of the hard parts of the fight, and you can use Chavez as a backup option to help take Knull down.

A few thoughts:
• I’d consider Vox over BRB. They take Shocker easily (not that Shocker really needs a direct answer tbf), can nuke through Spidey99 with degen, and will be much safer for Spidey Supreme than Juggs thanks to Vigilance. They don’t work as well against Nimrod because of the Debuff Immunity but I think he’s doable with Onslaught anyways if it comes down to it.
• Kate can handle SC if you’re particularly deft. The pseudo-taunt she has helps with baiting specials until SC exits Lock-on and as long as you maintain the Coldsnaps she’ll still be doing good damage that whole time. Certainly unideal over a harder counter with power control but she can do it. Definitely would do it better than BRB at least since SC goes Shock immune whenever he gains his Armor up Buff (you can temporarily disable it with Pulverize but it will always come back before you can start really stacking shocks).
• I’d definitely take Wiccan over Juggs. He does the same job of handling phase 4 GM with RC immunity, but also is a very good option for Knull. You don’t need Juggs’s extra stats for GM, and Mantis will be perfectly fine without his easy-bake intercepts.

All in all I’d personally consider going in with Onslaught, Vox, Kate, Chavez, Wiccan. A few of the fights are gonna sink a few revives but the right side of Necro tends to do that, there’s a few too many problem fights for you to get perfect counters for everything.

There are champions where you do damage and trigger abilities by hitting into their block like Sentinel and Valkyrie.
Hitting into block is also used as a technique to net get backed up into the wall and there is already a defender who punishes you for doing so - Zola. Cos that his kit as a defender.

AI was reparrying earlier, and made werewolf completely useless and risky to use. They had to fix this.

Now let me ask you something, right now the AI is tuned so that we can interecept it (light or medium) but sometimes that too becomes very difficult.
If Kabam wants they can increase the speed of these intercepts and you will never win any of your intercepts against the AI.

You talk as if you are some kind of god at the game and the game is too easy for you. I would like to see your gameplay if thats the case cos I really doubt that fact.

Not to mention the champs who have counterpunch mechanics like Deathless Thanos, Mole Man and Killmonger.

Deadpool X-Force will be absolutely insane for all the path defenders since they're bleed immune. I think he'll be the best raid champion by far.

For Tactician, really everyone will work. Juggs will fight against terrax.

For vanguard, again, most usual options will work, ironman might struggle against terrax too.

They claim that all of them will work for Tactical is completely wrong, considering that most are cosmic with several bonuses, the same applies to Juggernaut, and why do I say this? Well, we have The Destroyer in the line and he gains charges whenever we gain a bonus, so this would be a farm that would allow him to gain power and reach SP3 easily

Raid boon is wither so you can keep power gain at 0 easily

Sorry but could someone clarify on what this is referring to?

Next month we'll get a new quest where you have to battle through all of the Act 8 bosses in one go (or so it seems).

To answer OP's question, I would expect some pretty hefty rewards. One path with 64 bosses, four of which are the Chronoserpentized ones, sounds like a lot. Especially if they keep the "You can't use the same champ twice" mechanic from last time. That's a lot of champions that you have to use and a tonne of planning to do beforehand. I have about 80 7* champs at r2 or higher, so things can become a little dicey.

We'll see how it works out in practice but to me, I feel as if the main issue will simply be time and stamina. Not in-game energy, but my own personal energy. I'm sure that there will be someone who knocks it out in one go, but I doubt I'll have the energy to do that. So I hope that the rewards justify the effort.
