Hi there
I just completed act 4 last week ( it wasnt tough at all)
And i waited for sometime to start act 5 coz all my top champs were in AQ & AW
Looking at the PI rating of 5.1.1 champs, I hesistated to start act 5.
But then I tried once, it didnt look that hard coz the "Flare" nodes actually helped in finishing matchups quite fast.

But thinking that 5.1.2 would also contain flare nodes, i did get mistaken
It had "breakdown" nodes which had armor ups for the opponent
I just got banged to hell as the matchups were too high as compared to those in act 4

Here's my roster:
4/40 unduped sparky
4/40 unduped medusa
4/40 unduped hawkeye (great for power drain)
4/40 unduped masacre
4/20 unduped luke cage

I know that difficulty levels will definitely increase in act 5, but those are too insane for 4/40s.

Please tell me what to do.
Shall i continue playing act 5 slowly or postpone it till i get better champs coz i didnt use a single revive/health potion till maestro fight. I am mid game player with 128k rating & summoner lvl 48

    This will take a Long while in which you will get tons of iso, Units, items and new champs, and then you can try again!
    And act 5 is realy not easy, i am having much better Champions then you ( i am having 43 r5 4 stars and 3 r3 5 stars) and i am struggeling, too...

    Yeah You would definitely want to bring in a few Rank 5 4*s. There is no rush in getting Act 5 done as it will be there forever. Like said above, explore Act 4, get the rewards, open the crystals and upgrade the champs. If you have any good 5*s or open any on the future look on the forums or Youtube to see if they are worth ranking up and they will help in Act 5.

    Also all the nodes in Act 5 are different so you can also watch videos or go to the old forum posts and read up before taking them on.

    Act 5 fights will be long for u with a lot of block damage...u can do 5.1 with 4/40 champs...5.2 is also doable..my suggestion is try going as deep as u can into act 5...once u get stuck then focus on act 4 till u can take some 4* to 5/50 or 5* to 3/45...I would suggest becoming uncollected before fully exploring act 4

    Continue to play Act 5 slowly. Use energy first on 100% Heroic and Master each month and then practice Act 5 with your leftover energy. I would only 100% Act 4 if you really need the XPs and ISO.

    Playing for a little while - but in a practically inactive alley and started the game ignorantly - and I found the replies to this very helpful. Have four 5* (only really working on Dr. VD 3/45, but use SabreT 2/35 in quests), and a tonne of 4* (Gwen maxed&duped, Void duped&working on final rank up).
    Thanks to all above, and OP too!

    Actually still trying to go back and fix my mastery muck-ups.

    Is 5.1 Exploration doable with 4/40 duped Agent Venom (for shrugging off debuffs and partial evade counter), 4/40 Doctor Octopus (power control), 4/40 duped Ghulk (for Magiks, heal block, and passive degen) 2/35 unduped Medusa (for armor and robots) and 4/40 unduped Cap IW (for damage, soon to be 5/50 once I get a few more T4CC fragments +ISO)? They pretty much walked through Act 4. I really want that 4* Awakening gem from 100% Chapter 1 Exploration, and it's shorter than exploring Act 4.

    I would suggest put your focus on doing heroic and master 100% every month, and try and practice fighting the nodes in act 5.1. I know if seems a little overwhelming, but as someone who has very recently became uncollected with mostly 4/40 champs and a few 5* r3, I would say act 5.1 is definitely doable with your roster as long as you can play with those nodes correctly. 5.2 is a bug step up however, so until you get comfortable with those nodes you may want to work on exploring act 4.

    Thank you for all your valuable suggestions
    I will definitely keep those in my mind
