Stuck at act 5.2.4 - who should i use?

GamecodeOne

Hi Guys,

I would like to know who of my heroes are the best to do Act 5.2.4.
I have one 4* awakening gem left.
Thanks for your help

DoctorJ

Is it one lane youre stuck on? Or the whole map?

Cant remember but its masochism global right?

If stuck on collector then Stark is best option

5.2.4 is masochism.. AA works wonders but any champ works well if you fight them all as if stun immune. With AA its tricky, you need to watch masochism timer.. parry block knowing first will fail then parry heavy until bleeds stacks are going.. or fight like stun immune until l1 or a poison or bleed triggers masochism then parry heavy.. once you get bleeds and toxins going its not an issue.. but you have to watch it, when timer isnt on your first parry isnt going to stun..boss has caltrops so take a bleed immune for storm.

If a particular path id need know the path.. path i took there is considered the easy path.

From your roster I'd use.

Arcángel, once you get the neurotoxin fight is over.
Cap iw, petrify and reverse healing.
Stark spidey, no parry just intercept with max stacks.
Hyperion, intercept with sp1 and burn the **** our of everybody.
Magik, infinity intercept.
Void, the debuffs by themselves can kill everyone plus reverse healing.
If you pull a sabretooth, the killmonger synergy nullifies masochism.

I think you have all the chances to pass that chapter.

I definitely would use it on void or scarlet witch although she really needs a high signature level to be awesome and even then it's kind of random.

Void is the God tier that needs to be awaken the most.

I dont have void so asking so its clear. Agree with you also all ive read Void is one of a few champs thats amazing unduped and people still say use a Generic on. But.... doesnt he need high sig also if going to awaken?

KM is a great option for masochism as he gets a unique type of parry, took me a while to get past that one as well but as someone stated earlier AA does a mountain of work there. Funny enough what pushed me over the edge for that chapter was starlord. He really just powered through 4-5 of the people on the line and allowed me to use the rest of my lineup effectively

By the way your Corvus should wreck there also, just make sure you fit his missions in and he’ll blast through the majority

Void is a great champ but is when he is awaken that magic starts. The higher the signature is the better, but that doesn't mean that is useless at low sig. I have as a R4 5 stars and take him pretty much anywhere.

Sabretooth+Killmonger= no masochism

SIlverProfessor

Can you use either of them or do you have to use Savertooth?

It's been a while since I did 5.2.4, but if memory serves, that's the one with magik on a masochism/buffet combined node, and i just used blade.

Since I didnt see him in the roster, that AA should work nicely as well.

Also, make sure you stack a variety of good bleed immunes for one of the runs, because there is a loooong caltrops/slashed tires path that is brutal.

DoctorJ

That magik I remember being quite a pain. Id rank your magik up as she will bypass masochism with her powerlock and be handy for A LOT of content.

Id prob use corvus, aa, cap iw, mephisto and stark to begin with. Or wait until you rank magik and replace someone with her.

Edit: forgot storm boss has caltrops. I think corvus should still work? Not sure. If not, bring iceman.

With the KM synergy, ST has 100% ability accuracy reduction when inflicting a debuff, the ability accuracy reduction is short but enough to bypass masochism
