Announcing Event Quest: Night Riders

Denslo500

I enjoyed this month's event quest. It was actually beatable.
If you are stuck, go check out Seatin's videos. He gives excellent strategies.

Little tough with Corvus in master but I got him down all six times.

Thorns is back eh? So I'm curious why was Black Widow nerfed again?

Feel.vwry disappointed with Kabam. This month event quest is just ridiculous for master & uncollected. Darkhawk is way too difficult for average player like myself. I'm not sure how many manage to get through without spending. It just making me frustrated and give up playing. Slowly Kabam is killing the game.

The damn hotfix didnt do jack the evade and swipe back still bugged i lost all my champs to it. Not to mention he barely use his sp2, Darkhawk was hard to fight as it is but no you thought that wasnt enough lets add unblockable light and medium to his raptor upgrades.

I told my alliance i give december a chance to change my mind nope same b.s. from last month rolled over to this month i am retiring after AQ and will finally be able to be free of this unbalanced and unfair game mechanics that only benefits you guys

Decided to run through Master.

Got DH down with 5/50 Quake, first try.

I consider myself a relatively experienced player, and played through the EQ once on Uncollected, and on Master. I stopped at one play through, and have no desire to explore the rest. The level of frustration with fighting DH was well beyond any fun factor. I appreciate those who do like the increased difficulty of the last boss, and I completely understand their desire to keep the game a challenge. But, if you’re a casual gamer like me that occasionally likes to splurge on this game, I’d skip this EQ this month. If for some reason this becomes the “new normal” for EQs, I may be finding a new game that’s less frustrating.

Finally someone i can agree with

Darkhawk having unblockable plus massive damage boosts at the start of the game does suck the fun out. It's too champion-dependent - there is no non-invulnerable 5/50 champion that can survive a five-hit combo at the beginning of the fight; so if he tags you, it's over. Fortunately there are a few of those now (see below).

I'm clearing it slowly - one route to go - but the fact is that any lag or mistiming at the first moment of the fight means death. I agree that makes it a very tense and not-fun start. Once you get past the SP2 and he's in anything other than his unblockable Null mode, it's do-able; though strategy clearly required.

For the guys above (@jac7721, @Ed_FatHobbit_88, @RiderofHell) here are some solutions to try; but some (or significant numbers of) revives may be required:

Single champions with Invulnerability

• Luke Cage (Awakened)
• Hela (Awakened)
• Phoenix (Awakened)
• Corvus (Awakened)
• Magneto (Awakened) (caps damage, though not invulnerable)
• Punisher (Awakened)
• Mephisto (invulnerable whilst regenerating)

Single champion who can potentially control the fight

• Quake - can win without landing a hit
• Spider Man variant esp. Sparky - can evade out of a potentially lethal combo; may inflict armour break or weakness
• Daredevil - ignores Stealth and can evade SP1 if Awakened
• Psylocke - starts the fight with two Psi-charges; so despite class disadvantage, if you successfully bait+evade the SP2, she will immediately passively Power Lock Darkhawk, and you can go to work...)

Synergies

• Hela + Angela
• Dormammu + Mordo
• Heimdall with anyone
• Thor Ragnarok + Hulk/Ghulk
• Killmonger + BPCW

Best of luck, if you want a crack at it guys.

The master level is way damn difficult and impossible with the damn buff. Tried more than 10-15 times with spending hell of a lot revives and pots. Please don't call it master in the next event quest if set as same difficulty. Instead try to name it - insane.

Sorry to hear that. It may just be the case that it isn't worth the resources needed for completion.

I mostly quest with 5/50, and 3/45 champions; and more than once I've got through to Darkhawk with 4 champs on full health; each of which has then been annihilated by his Unblockable high-damage Null state. I just exited, and re-ran; rather than healing up.

Finally explored Master level yesterday: now for Uncollected. I won't be exploring it, but hope to complete!
