Cavalier with 4/55 champions. Not as bad as you would think
TP33
Posts: 1,595 ★★★★
So just today I managed to get Cavalier with only 4/55 5*s. I felt pretty nervous going into it. Most of not all of the players in my alliance and previous alliances who are Cavalier have had at least 1 5/65 champion. However I knew it was now or never because I had just the right amount of shards to open up a 6* after it. Anyways here’s my breakdown and my experience but first my team(I’ll spoiler it bc it takes a lot of space)
Disclaimer: I did have boosts on. Mainly health and champion as I only had 1 10% attack boost. Anyways most players with 5/65/s would have plenty of boosts active on top of it.
6.1.1
People say it’s relatively easy compared to the rest of 6.1 because of a lack of super difficult fights. I beg to differ. No retreat basically means “either degenerate or block specials your choice”
Problem fights:
I took the path with Agent Venom. Only problem fight I encountered there was Red Skull. Medusa did it in the end but not gaining power is more annoying then you’d think. (Also Nebula can be a pain but as I mentioned 3/45 Medusa)
Sabretooth wasn’t that great. Had a lot of bad RNG with Archangel and only managed to have 3/4 Neurotoxins on him at any one time. Could be solod with AA though (make sure to parry and bait the L1)
6.1.2
Oh god. Not this one. It really is as horrible as people say it is.
Global node is annoying but not bs like no retreat. Just make sure you are watching those counters ALL THE TIME.
Problem fights:
Took the path with Yellowjacket. Died to him. Was kind of a silly mistake but enhanced special 1 on Yellowjacket is always a pain
Sentinel. Built up Ægon still took 2 attempts bc of the mental crit resistance. Could be solod though with better RNG
Ultron. Holy mother of Satan during this fight my only wish was that death would be nowhere near as painful as this. Even with Medusa it’s very difficult to get an armour shatter up. You have to MLM in order to not get evaded and in order to not go above 10 hits. If you do go above 10 hits you get cruelty, and he gains power. And you die. Took me all but 2 of the Poutines we received from this months EQ. Hated that fight. Never want to do it again.
6.1.3
Aaaaaaaaaaaand relax. This was a nice and easy quest that Elsa Bloodstone cheesed. Used her for all the fights other than Deadpool, Kingpin, Thing and Rouge. (I took the path with those fights on it, obviously)
Problem fights:
Thing could be annoying but you can just use the usual counters. I used Stealthy. She Hulk, Spider Gwen, Red Guardian, and all the other Slow champions would be good (also BWCV can actually buff immunity him)
Ghost. Idk why I’m even writing this I’ve taken out harder Korg/Thing war bosses. Don’t get hit is my advice. Elsa Bloodstone did it in under 100 hits
6.1.4
Path was super easy no problems there. (Took the first portal directly below the start to Phoenix, Sabretooth etc.) it was very short and gives you an opportunity to adapt to the global.
Take in characters with good block proficiency/stay in they’re face all fight and you can actually benefit from the global. (Close encounters FYI)
Problem fights:
Loki I guess? I didn’t solo him only bc I brought in Elsa Bloodstone at first. Remember this: Two buffs on either you or 2 debuffs on Loki and you CANNOT CRIT. That’s slipped me up. I used Stealthy. It’s not that hard of a fight I’ll be honest so pretty much anyone who doesn’t need either crits or buffs/debuffs and you’re good to go.
6.1.5
Now this wasn’t as bad as its hyped up to be. Path was kind of a pain bc I could only Archangel 1 fight. I needed to build Ægon to 100 hits. I took the far left path with Superior Iron Man then down to WS. Ægon was used for the first fight and She Hulk. Other than that just play well, don’t get hit, nothing super special here.
Problem fights:
I had a hard time on Sabretooth probably my fault though I’ll admit it.
Most of the fights in this quest are hard but doable. Probably the right difficulty for 6.1, not too hard, not too easy.
Now for the elephant in the room, I’ll even make his name bold, Crossbones
Before this fight I was SUPER scared of it. I knew Ægon could do it but I didn’t know if a 4/55 could put damage the regen. 100 hit combo tenacity did it’s job and I didn’t take ANY biohazard damage all fight. Now at first he was super passive about special attacks, wouldn’t throw them etc. But then he loosened up. Just bait L1 and take your openings there. Play carefully, play well, and the fight can be done. I mean it took Ægon nearly 300 hits but he still solod it
6.1.6
We’re in the endgame now. Global was a bit suck. Wasn’t so much bs just restricting in playstyle. Idk about you but I do like my freedom.
Problem fights:
Havok I guess? I used Havok, easy game , easy life
I took the vigorous assault/regen path for reference
Superior Iron Man. He has bane on him. Bane is always a problem. Did solo him though (albeit on low health)
Angela. Oh no. This was horrible. You’ve outdone yourselves kabam. Bravo. Way to design a fight and not think about it. Vigorous assault means they’re unblockable whilst regenerating + Angela. I’ll wait for you to realise. Bottom line, pretty much permanently unblockable. Took me 2 revives. Not fun kabam not fun. If you guys nerf any fight in 6.1 I want it to be this one.
Sentinel. Final boss time. I know what you’re thinking, Medusa can easily shred this right? Wrong. First of all this is a boosted, 3/45 champion. Basically a 4* on steroids.also I don’t run suicides so her PI was just hitting 7k. Now fisticuffs on its own isn’t terrible, but then to introduce power drain every 20 seconds AND stun immunity and it’s not a really fun time. I couldn’t get an armour shatter up whilst using Medusa and so went for my next best option, Stealth Spidey.
The combination of nodes may not, on paper, sound terrible but it basically means you can only use 1 L1 or maybe, just about, an L2. You can’t throw more than 1 in a row though, oh no! You die to the global if you do (stun immunity means heavy attacks are pretty much off the table). Stealthy worked a treat. After that only took me 3 revives to get him down from 50%.
Conclusion
Using all the Poutine from this months EQ it cost me under 100 units, pretty nice. Much of it could’ve been done better on my part but as long as you have a biohazard counter the only really horrible quests are 6.1.2 and 6.1.6. Even then Hyperion or a better played Medusa could do those fights (apart from maybe the 6.1.2 Sentinel) Also Angela on vigorous assault is a super horrible fight and should never re-appear ever again
Rewards
Before I go I couldn’t not tell you who I got as my 6*. Now I’ll spoiler it if you don’t care/don’t like to see this sort of thing but I’ll tell you, it’s noice
I used a combination of:
4/55 Archangel
4/55 Ægon
4/55 Elsa bloodstone
1/25 Stealth spidey (6*)
4/55 Havok
4/55 Silver Surfer
3/45 Medusa
MVPs were Archangel, Medusa, Ægon. They wrecked it like it was a monthly EQ
