Act 4 walkthrough (Massive Spoilers)

Denslo500Denslo500 Posts: 903 ★★★
Act 4 (need regeneration champs - this was made when Willpower was un-nerfed. Just sayin'.)
Credits: winterthur provided 99% of this, over a long set of entries. I just tried to make it easier to reference.

Champs: best experience will be with 4* 4/40 champs.
definitely need a diverse roster
(high damage, regeneration/healing, power control, immunities).

Difficulty: AI is Heroic to Master level.
Most 3rd specials are inactive.
Very long sets of fights. Champs that can heal make it fun. No healing would really suck.
Game mixes Active and Passive DOT (Damage Over Time). Willpower helps with Active DOT. Hulk Ragnarok helps with Passive DOT.

Chapter 1
Nodes: nothing crazy
Bosses: read nodes and you will be fine
Special stuff: 4.1.3 Superior Iron Man with Arc Overload 2.0. (do heal block or nullify) 4.1.6 needs a Colossus

Chapter 2
Nodes: 4.2.1 Poison or Bleed path. 4.2.4 poison 4.2.5 Gamblers Fate 4.2.6 Double or Nothing
Bosses: read nodes and you will be fine
Special stuff: super magneto (right side. Question Mark with node for regeneration. need strong heal block (Yondu?) or SW for nullify or luck with Gambler's fate)

Chapter 3 (Chaos and/or Gambler's Fate will be active. Chaos give buffs and debuffs when a special is activated (not after it fires)- save specials to change outcomes)
This is where Act 4 becomes infamous.

Maps
1-
Nodes: Outlast (they last longer) and Starburst (passive degeneration). Require Regeneration/Hulk Rag/lots of heal.
Boss: Daredevil Netflix (evades all projectile attacks)
Special stuff: 1* Symbiote Spider-man which is boosted by 10 buffs (nullify and move on).

2-
Nodes: Transducer (shifts power based on hits) and/or Unblockable SP1
Boss: Luke Cage (no special requirements)
Special stuff: Spiderman classic required for one path

3-
Nodes: Chaos (save specials to change outcomes)
Boss: War Machine (3rd special active)
Special stuff: contains THE Juggernaut on right middle section. Pick your boxes carefully, as taking them makes him stronger. I did it in 2 runs (3 boxes, then 2 boxes) Captain America Infinity War highly beneficial. Juggernaut section sometimes has a Golden Symbioid that is debuff immune (no stuns, so intercept).

4-
Nodes: Villainy (use Villains)
Boss: Deadpool X-Force
Special stuff: none

5-
Nodes: Martial Mastery (true strike)
Boss: Magik (power leak and steal)
Special stuff: tough Electro

6-
Nodes: Deadpool (3rd special) or Black Panther (Adaptive: shifts physical and energy resist)
Boss: Venom
Special stuff: can go straight to Venom (but full powered)


Chapter 4

1-
Nodes: varied
Boss: Storm (unblockable finale)
Special stuff: none

2-
Nodes: tons. read carefully
Boss: Jane Foster
Special stuff: longest section of the whole thing. Stun sensitive Rhino

3-
Nodes: varied
Boss: Electra (Parry/stun/heavy repeat. consider Symb Spidey for heavies and L2)
Special stuff: Ronan (Stuns before specials, need power control). Magneto (Thorns. he is bleed sensitive)

4-
Nodes: class gates
Boss: Groot (combo lock and combo over 100 = super groot)
Special stuff: stun immune Black Widow or Unstoppable Colossus (intercept and dash attacks)

5-
Nodes: Section 1: replicate, checkmate + combo shield, Parry, genetic memory, heavy hitter. apparently the nodes are paired for different paths in each section.
Section 2: arc overload, perfect replication, outlast, caltrops, poison, bleed, thorns, degeneration
Section 3: starburst, adaptive, martial mastery, strike back
Boss: Guillotine (don't use regen champs)
Special stuff: none

6-
Nodes: varied
Boss: Maestro (sp1 has 3 beams. block/block/evade or die). intercept is good idea
Special stuff: none


I am still in 4.3.4 (100%ing), so I only had the winterthur to go on for Chapter 4 (other than my initial run).
So far, I have enjoyed it. Definitely do not get in a hurry. Definitely do use XP boosters.

    You do not need heal champs, but I can see why they would be nice.

    Did 100% of Act 4 this weekend.
    Nothing new to add.
    I really enjoyed it.
    My allstars were:
    5* Ultron rank 3 (unduped), 4* 4/40 Scarlet Witch (duped), 4* 4/40 Hawkeye (unduped), 5* rank 2 Quake (unduped), 4* 4/40 Corvus (unduped).

    Most effective masteries for my team:
    Physical Resistance (maxed), Willpower (lvl 1), Glass Cannon (lvl 3). Have 3/5 on Deep Wounds, which mostly helped Hawkeye.
    I do a blend of Seatin and ContestChampion masteries.

    If you have any questions, I would love to answer them.
    It is still very fresh in my mind.

    Also
    Quake-fu works well on Maestro.
    Routinely got him down 50% (or more) with her.
