How in the world do you beat the IMIW and havok in v5?

Will3808

I just spent the last 45 minutes trying to beat quest 1 of v5. I didn’t have much trouble getting up to iron man infinity war but once he got down to 15% it went terribly because of the 90% armor node. I got through him after 7 or so revives and was planning to use dr voodoo on havok because I’d seen videos of that matchup working on the 6.3 havok boss. I tried 3 times before running out of revives and then decided it wasn’t worth it because I was going to have to dip really far into my units to complete the quest. So how do I get through those two fights? My team was 5* r4 BWCV, 5* r3 starky, 4* r5 voodoo, 4* r5 sym supreme, and 6* r1 stealthy.

I used r5 starky. Built 10 charge and then went for it. Sure it took 2-3 revives but i got no skill anyway.

Its been awhile since I did that fight so I can't say exactly for sure how I did it but its sounds like just using venoms heavy attack should do the trick. It inflicts armor break, and venoms true strike once an opponent is at 18% health or lower really helps too with the autoblock

Venom. Even a 4* venom works well against that Havok, make sure you get an armor up buff and then you can forget about plasma detonations. Just don't use your sp2 because all your buffs will be converted to furies and then that would leave you vulnerable to his detonations.

Venom can also do the IMIW fight. VTD works well against IMIW too (and for that entire path) especially with that massive armor node. Sp2s should destroy him no sweat.
Good luck.
Cheers!

@Charlie21540 @abqber i unfortunately don’t have a venom or venom the duck. Is pretty much my only choice to wait for one?

I'd say it's better to wait. Having even a 4* Venom/VTD will save you a lot of hassle and items. Good luck.

I used a 4* VTD and used some potions and a revive on havok, but it was really easy with him.

Voodoo works for that Havok, IMIW can be done with a lot of people

anaLysis_

My r3 5* venom worked wonders

MR_61088

I beat IMIW with r3 Sorcerer Supreme. Sure took around 140 hits but was a oneshot and okay

And for Havok i used r4 Starky and Venom the Duck.
Toxic armor did very well took only 1 revive and is one of the toughest fights in the completition tun for this variant in my opinion

I tried voodoo and it did not go well. I’m not sure if I was doing something wrong but I’m pretty sure there’s only one way to do it.

Meebleton

Starky should work for IMIW, that's who I used. If Voodoo isn't working for Havok then using Sparky and baiting Sp2s is probably your best option.

I did it with vtd. Pretty straightforward fight with him.
Though I will suggest to wait or to r4 starky to give him the juice to defeat havok.

Havok's gonna be a problem without a counter, but I did IMIW with Stealthy.

(Ignore the typp in this description, I think it's 10 instead of 100.)
Basically just use a high dps Spider-Verse Hero and time it so you're unblockable once he drops into his power gain phase to ignore auto-block. You can do the same thing without high dps and some special baiting.

But since you're lacking a Havok counter, I'd suggest going far left in the first half, then taking the middle path in the second half.

@Etjama you only need 3 of those stuff actually.

Thanks, it's been a while.

I used Venom for both iirc

GatorSlam_MrvKn

Venom, parry heavy for imiw until you get true strike. Make sure you have armor up buff when fighting Havok

Glassback

Pretty sure I used venom for both, like above said, parry or intercept his heavy with yours for the armour break.
Havok just heavy until venom rolls an armour up and for gods sake don’t hit sp2 😂

I used a 4* with all the boosts and went through it well

Will3808

Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I’m going to continue exploring act 5 and once I build up the revives try again with starky. If that doesn’t work I’ll just wait for a 4 or 5 star venom.

GAMEOVERJames

It’s not a problem, whenever IMIW get to 15%, you hold block in front of him to trigger his Heavy attack, then instantly dash back with heavy counter~

I think red skull is immune to plasma charge of havok
Does u have havok for counter attack to havok itself?

In v5 you can only use mystic, symbiote, or spider verse champs.

Just today . Doom and Sym. Supreme carried most of it..Juicy rewards.

Berjibs

@Will3808 You could try the bottom path with BWCV. Juggs is a bit annoying but once you get past him it’s easier. Plus it’s low energy and first fight so easy to practice until you get it.

After that there’s at least one easyish path per quest she can plough through on her own and will do all the bosses.

Mr_Aaeezz

Well i just brought Dr Doom and diablo synergy and spammed hevies on havok and for infinity man just power steal when u get a parry or make sure u have a sp2 waiting on claire for the last phase of IMIW. If you don't have doom then your only real option is venom or voodo

Mauled

VtD did the job for me quite nicely on IMIW and Sparky for Havoc as the power drain handles his plasma build up
