How many of you ever went back and explored Act 6?

ẞlооd

Just went back and did a path in 6.3 and I barely made it haha. I'm trying to remember how the heck I got through this pre-nerf. I still feel it's much more difficult than 7.1 even post-nerf.



Where are you guys sitting in Act 6? Do you already have it explored? And if not, do you plan to?

Blackshadow0203

I’m currently going back and 100% act 6. I’m doing 6.2 rn and let me tell ya, it’s soooooo much fun... can’t wait to tackle 6.2.5, gonna spend sooo many units.

Rookiie

46% explored (6.1.1-6.2.3)
Just went on another hiatus, I need a long mental break from Act 6 before I can go back in & continue

Six_strings6

I’d rather save my units for abyss and future act 7 content. I’ll get around to 6.1 at some point since it isn’t too bad. Maybe 6.4 since the rewards are pretty decent. Dunno if I will do the rest before I have a full team of at least 6* r3

Yeah, I'm considering probably doing the same. I forgot how harsh they went with some of the champ/node combos.

I’m exploring it rn I’m 3 paths away from fully exploring 6.4. I’ve fully explored 6.1 and 6.3, 6.2 I have 2 quest left to do.

6.2.5 seems bad but I’ve done basically every other quest 100% itemless and it has actually been fun, don’t know why people hate a challenge so much when something like Act 7 feels like a more difficult EQ

Dontsellthem

In No hurry to explore act 6. I wasn’t in a hurry to explore act 5. Did act 5 when I was good and ready.

Cleared act 7. Won’t explore 7 for at least another 5 years. Nothing but time!

97% explored just have 4 paths in 6.2.6 and 1 in 6.2.5 to do.

BlackTuran

I've just been slowly exploring 6.1, it's pretty fun so far, I don't think I'll say the same about 6.2 lol

I think I'll continue with act 6 exploration whenever kabam decides to implement a situation where scouting can be done without having to move in and out of the book 2 screen.

GinjabredMonsta

I've only been exploring 6.1...and I still hate it

Qfury

Not even joking when I say this but I will not revisit act 6 until we can get R5 6*s. completion was more than enough for me of that utter 3hit show.

I run a path of 6.2.5 sometimes when my stash is full, but I'm not super motivated.

Chovner

I explored it all in January after initial completion a year ago, and it was the least fun i've had playing this game. Act 6 on a whole is a massive fail.

Cat_Murdock

I've got 6.1 and 6.3 explored, which overall I didn't think were that bad. I enjoyed planning out my paths and teams before tackling them. 6.2 seems um....horrible. Mostly due to 6.2.5, 6.2.6 and the fact each quest has like tennnn paths. 6.4 seems a lot more reasonable though, and I'll probably do that one before 6.2.

OGAvenger

Finished exploring it after the initial attack value drops months ago. It just wasn’t fun before that. You could barely make adjustments to the nodes and bring proper counters without dying of block damage by the 2nd fight

The_Blue_Jaguar

I just finished exploring it. Took me about 9 months I think? 6.1 was fine but long, 6.2 was long and mostly fine except for 6.2.5. That sucked. The nerf didn’t do much there, and the hardest part is the class 5* gates. (Yes, meaning you can’t use 6*) That was just awful and the last quest I explored in 6.2. 6.3 and 6.4 are honestly fun if you have a diverse roster. I did it mostly itemless but did have some trouble with Cap. Ægon with Heimdal was my go to for that fight. And then of course GM. I got a million times better at fighting him since I completed, but it still took a good amount. Overall, when you get past 6.2 it becomes pretty fun.

zuffy

I thought of exploring 6.2 since I’ve explored 6.1. Then I saw the bs in 6.2 and so many paths per quest. Just not worth the effort for the rewards.

Worknprogress

Considering the fact it's been explored for a year now, no.

Grootman1294

Explored it a few months ago and I never wanna go back again

Act 6 is endgame content, 7.1 is midgame content. Silly to compare them

There's never anything wrong with comparing, brother. But I agree Act 7 definitely took a different route towards difficulty, and lowered the challenge.

Went back? Explored everything when released. I can certainly see why I feels daunting now with everything already released though.

Props my man. Act 6 is definitely no slouch. I had a rough time when I went for completion back in the day. Especially with the crazy high attack values. My roster has grown now, but I feel rusty after Act 7 buttered me up lol

Exploring content is how we get good. It's how we gain experience and learn new skills. Even though 6.1 isn't regarded as a pain point, off the top of my head I can tell you that the No Retreat node really made me fine tune my heavy interruption game. As just one example. The map was filled with defenders who have multi-part heavies.. what's the answer? Heavy attack interruption. You actually can use skill to play around No Retreat, but I often heard it referred to as "unavoidable damage". Heavy interruption wasn't a new concept to me, I'd already used it often, but only for certain situations. Like, a Medusa boss during her meta as a defender. Interrupting her heavy was pretty critical for staying on her side of the stage. But, when No Retreat was introduced.. and I saw the trend of multi-part heavies in the first quest. I quickly decided to test just how many champs heavies can be interrupted. Nearly all of them. Including Sabre. It was fun to figure out that that was a major key to success in that quest. And now heavy interruption is a much bigger part of my fight style now as a result. And it's a skill that's still used for AW bosses today. Take Thing for example.. folks often interrupt his heavy to maintain control of the stage spacing. It's still a useful skill. It's just one example of many, but it's one thing I can easily point to that I was grateful I was forced to learn it via No Retreat.

Finally 100% it last month, although I started to explore 6.1 last year, big gap, mainly due to the terrible node combination in later quests

No worries man, there's a ton of tough paths to get exploration here. Also, congratulations dude. That's a feat right there.
