I just finished act 5.4 100%, and I'm about to start 5.3 100%. I've been worrying about 5.3 a bit, I hated my first run of it. And some of the paths look like BS. Any tips?

5.3 is probably the biggest pain but it's mainly bc the long fights. It's been a while for me, but I remember a ton of block damage more than anything else. That and the long fights.
Just gotta have patience and chip away at paths. The class stuff definitely matters but for me... There were plenty of paths where I just had to use my best available regardless of class. It made the fights longer but more comfortable.
5.3.1 mostly, the science path specifically but mostly all of 5.3.1 @Drooped2
5.3.1) There is a hidden path of mystic champions, which include Dormammu, Hood, Scarlet witch, Guillotine, Unstoppable colossus, Juggernaut, Immortal Iron fist and Loki. With nodes Cornered and Bane. It wasnt too bad but i know some people dont like the bane node.
5.3.3) There is a small path of 3 fights towards the bottom with a Cable, RED magneto and OG deadpool. Nodes were Cornered, power reserve, stun immune, strike back and unblockable, enhanced sp2. Only 3 fights but they were a annoying for me.
5.3.4) The Hyperion boss. Enhanced, unblockable sp2, stun immune, 40% buff duration and 50% Power gain.
One path makes you fight him fully noded. Each time you go on the other paths it removes 1 of the 4 nodes depending on the path you take. So you only fight him fully noded once. Then you fight him again with 3 nodes on the 4 remaining paths. I dont know if this is clear but you will see what i mean.
5.3.5) There was a spiked Armour and cornered path here. For me the Spider-man classic and the abomination were the pains but everything else should be ok. Archangel or some regen champs should be good here.
5.3.6) As well as another spiked Armour path. Mainly the Antman, Abomination, Electro and Rhino were the most annoying there. Archangel was very useful for the Antman and Electro.
5.3.6) There is also a cornered and power reserve path. I used A 4* Stark Spidey on. Would have been difficult for me without him. I remember i brought Miles Morales for the synergy to extend the stun duration, which was really helpful since i tried it without him and kept missing the double mediums into a 5 hit combo.
The Red hulk, Cable and Hyperion were the harder fights here id think.
Apart from those id say 5.3 isn't too difficult but quite long fights. A lot of patience unless you bring specific classes for the 50% attack reduction. It took me just under a week to do and these were the only annoying areas i came across. Make sure to bring some units or revives just incase.
I hope what i have written is clear and good luck with 5.3.
Feel free to correct any mistakes i may have made.
I'm not too worried about the hyperion boss, I downed him fully noded with my r4 corvus in about 15 hits, only baited one sp2. As for 5.3.6 I have a 4* stark at r2 duped who I should rank up and I can use him for power reserve. I have a maxed AA for Spiked armor. I figured I could use blade with mephisto for mystic path because I get danger sense every fight. blade is a r4 5* for me
If you can take the Hyperion you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Corvus would also be good for the black panther. Archangel for green goblin. The other bosses are easy.
Hmmm, I guess you could do the path without him. It just made it a lot easier if they were stunned. Do you have a magik or another power control champ? You could just bait out the special I guess, your main problem would be Hyperion. Congrats on the 5* ghost rider.
Ive already done 1 run on hyperion he wasn't an issue just because corvus downed him quickly
But seriously... if you already did that much of Act 5, I don't foresee you having problems.
The biggest pain of 5.3 are the long ass paths and GD gates.
I mean because there another Hyperion on the power reserve path on 5.3.6. Magik should do for that if you can get to a sp2. Should be fine.
Psylocke is also pretty good for Power Reserve

Yeah she’d be really good to.
No problem, good luck.
