Variants are DUMB

This is from the P.O.V. of a recent cavalier.
All the variants require very particular champions, and the fights are so long. Also, there are very annoying fights, for example, in the villain variant (variant 6), there is a mephisto fight. How do you expect someone to use only villain champs AND get through MEPHISTO?
I mean yes Kabam wants money but at least think of us F2Ps.

The variants are for a challenge and to build your roster. They are totally optional content.

Variants are permanent side content. Do them when you have the right champions. It’s not a race, everything doesn’t need to be done right now.

And use Void for Mephisto.

You should try and get to act 6 chapter 3 first its much easier

There are some tricky fights in variants. But mephisto is too simple. I used parry heavy with doom against him. Any champ with single hit heavy is good for him.

te_dua_shum

i don't want to say anything about variants, but for your problem with mephisto you can use Red Hulk (duped), Vulture or Void, all three are incinerate immune and villains ^_^

MojoHater

Well, I don't have void. Also, I suppose I must do something in this game? 5.4 exploration is almost finished but I'm stuck at the ultron quest (2-3 paths need a better roster)

MojoHater

Wait I will send my roster and then you can tell me which variant would be easy for me, or maybe LOL.

Maybe because a new cavalier player isn’t meant to be able to easily get 100% on them?

no its the initial run...

mate I did v4 before I became Cav they aren’t that hard

no its the initial run...

Then take another path?

MojoHater

My roster.

Also, one path is the poison one and another has abomb.
Variant 4 has that electro boss for which I have no counters.
Also, I'm F2P so don't expect me to have a lotta units >_<

Okay I'll try

MojoHater

I tried. He literally got his aura 2 times in 3 heavies. And smacked me. I don't have the commitment to do it once again whenever the RNG gets bad, that's why I'm asking for other content

Corkscrew

@MojoHater Which Mephisto are you talking about... I only see the one in 1.1 and he's got nothing on him. He doesn't even need a special counter.
There is are some pretty tough non-boss Mojos and Sinisters. They will cause a lot more hurt than Meph.
If you're only recently Cav... then you may need to develop your roster more before the variants.

i suggest that you should do Variant 3 1st imo

SpideyFunko

Pretty sure you can do v3 at the minimum. And 4. 5 might not be that much of a stretch either

MojoHater

Okay will try v3... that's magneto variant right?

Variants usually test your roster strength more than anything else. They are considered end-game content by Kabam.
If your 5 star and 6 star rosters are not big enough, you will struggle with some variants. That said, V6 is one of the easier ones. If you have a 4 star void, you can use him to clear that Mephisto. V6 does not require specific star level, only the villain tag is mandatory.

Hmmm. I think I'll give v3 a shot anyway.

Thank you for the suggestions and advice everyone

I mean yes Kabam wants money but at least think of us F2Ps.

I have said this multiple times, I am FTP, explored all the story content, cleared every variant except V7, done initial clear of LOL and AOL. Being FTP does not stop you from progressing in the game. As far as I know, there is no content in the game that mandates you to pay. With enough practice, time spent on grinding arena and farming resource, you can clear every content.

You can use rulk kr good against Mephisto . Best counters

I think this situation explains the issues with the progression speed of this game nowadays...people move to 5* champs so fast that they dont have time to build their 4* roster...yes 4* are irrelevant in act 6 and 7 but i have used my 4* champs in variants for certain fights(for example mephisto in v6 for whom i used my 5/50 void or v3 where 5/50 sentinel did so much work in both completion and exploration to name a couple

It’s just the acceleration of new players’ rosters that let them steamroll through earlier content before developing the required skills.

Skillful_star

Except I'm a f2p player and have completed all variants(except v1....still very annoying) and even explored v4. And if I weren't so lazy I'd explore v6 and 7. Variants are fun. They require a decent roster but mainly skill and knowledge. And sometimes unitman.

MojoHater

Lol Okay
