"Cavalier" Difficulty Tech Nodes

Okay, I think this is the month where Kabam has pushed it too far. I've explored everything in the game, Carina's challenges, Gauntlet, it's all done. And this tech quest is an absolute pain. I can't imagine when this rolls around to 7 paths.

The opponent spends 80% of the time completely unblockable. There are very few counters, and even the counters we do have struggle to keep shock up. Added to that, heal block on one path to screw over the suicide users AGAIN, indestructible at 2 bars of power, and then they put on one of the most annoying bosses (Blade) we've had for a long time.

It's a monthly event, the rewards are borderline garbage, this is completely unnecessary. The game is a real chore this month.

If you have done everything in the game and you are still getting annoyed at such a mediocre difficulty. BRUH....
I should have known what to expect from the forum tryhards.
If you don't want to try hard, then do a lower difficulty.

My point is, the event quest shouldn't require trying this hard. It's monthly content for appalling rewards. If the difficulty goes up, which it has, the rewards should match.

I completed the Gauntlet yesterday and "tried hard" because the rewards were worth it. I explored 7.2 last week and "tried hard" because the rewards were worth it, and to be honest most of the paths in 7.2 annoyed me less than these tech lanes.

If you completed the Gauntlet, then the cav EQ should be NO issue. Not even a bit. It doesn't even register on the same scale.

Lol that can't be true if you're end game player. I am no where to end game and tech was easiest one close to science one

Mate... you’ve just said you’ve cleared the gauntlet, you can’t then call others tryhards when you’re one yourself.

I’ll admit I found the blade boss to be very annoying on my first run, didn’t occur to me that AA neurotoxin melts him, but the tech nodes along the paths were a reasonably quick ramp up, much prefer this one to the very first tech node they came up with.

Hulkbuster is the answer to every single tech node yet

This is accurate. 50k heavies make short work of things.

ChaosMax1012

Players ask for challenge, and we are receiving more of it. Not like we have to complete everything at one shot.

xNig

Tech node?

IMIW, Vision, G99, Spark (slow though), Warlock (also slow)...

I just brought IMIW Vision and G99, they melted everything.

Solutions:
Intercept

Its a tech quest…. Suicides dont matter if you have a tech champ immune to bleed and poison, which is quite common in the class

Just bait sp1s….

Even though I’m don’t like the new node when there said buffe the node it just meant change tgere mess type in my eys I’m don’t enjoying the new node but I’m doing it for the rewards after a few go at them there ain’t as bad

No try hards, just not whiners. I was cav when the cav eq came out. I couldn't explore it, and some months I couldn't even do a completion run. Now that my roster is a little bigger I can but it just ain't that hard. Intercept and special bait. Using the right champions (Hulkbuster, Guardian, Dock Ock, Sentinel) is very important in cav difficulty. It's made for some champions.

Guardian melts all paths on the way to the boss, cause each shock gives him a passive fury. He's usually at 10 furies within 15-20 hits.

Pick one fight along each path to use G2099 where you can finish with a sp3 to have her ramped up for Blade.

G2099 can solo Blade by spamming heavies and sp1 to keep him below two bars.

Demonzfyre

It's really not that hard. I'm using Warlock, Silver Centurion and G2099. I really don't understand how people can't handle this quest.

Jackd1989

use anyone who can inflict shock and you will be laughing all the way to the boss, then just keep spamming heavies and SP1 on him and he will go down

Well, I have not done the abyss or the gauntlet, and I am still exploring 7.2, but I found the tech Cav EQ chapter pretty straightforward with Vision, HB and Warlock. HB is especially good (builds furies quick and his sp1 wrecks at 10 furies). Vision gets power quick so can keep power controlling defender, and with 10 furies he hits decently hard. Warlock you need to spam sp1.

This does seem to be becoming more frequent, that a single champion, or possibly 2, is needed to counter a fight that is stacked with nodes to prevent it being achieved otherwise.

Gone are the days when you needed to practice and perfect your gameplay with a champion. Now it is about getting practice and developing techniques to counter new, sometimes bizarre, nodes.

The first path in EQ Cav with all the ‘falter’ stuff on was blowing my mind! Should I hit, shouldn’t I hit, oh too late... lol

Problem is you are playing with the shock debuff part and not the node benefits. Power drain put a passive shock on the defender. So warlock S1 and s3. Warlock annihilates that heal or hide path you referenced. Make sure they get the regen when they are infected. You can use G99 S1. And then when you have g99 ramped up after 1 fight, put on her power drain prefight and go to town. I didn’t personally use him, but I assume imiw with or without stealthy synergy will be a monster too

Drauglin

Warlock, Hulkbuster, Sentinel all good options for Tech this month… the list goes on. Easy stuff.

Was525

I cleared all the lines with just warlock. Did blade with guilly2099 and warlock one shot each time. Zero issues zero items. Stop being dramatic

Lightvayne

I used Warlock and/or Hulkbuster. All fairly quick take downs, (using hulkbuster is even quicker)
Used AA for blade and added white Mags for a longer parry duration

Hammerbro_64

Try using power drain. I can’t imagine someone distinguished enough to do Gauntlet and Carina challenges doesn’t have any techs that can shock or power drain. G2099 solos the whole quest and HB Nebula even RS do fine as well.

Well, truth be told, Carina is only a challenge if going for low revive / revive-less runs. Besides that, it’s more of a revive fest that most people who are willing (note the word) can do.

Dontsellthem

I agree that the CAV EQ Has been getting harder and harder. I’ve explored past 6-7 months including this one. I just hate that they say “it’s a working progress”…means they can make is harder and harder to find the “right” difficulty.

Also- please let it be known that I’ve never asked for a challenge. I’d be happy with these rewards being sent to my inbox monthly. You won’t ever hear me say, “it’s too easy” . Other than right there <.

Meh. Darkhawk does it faster and better

G2099 + assault prefight is even faster

That’s fair. Still has to be TB for it tho

So Darkhawk obliterates this questline. Either by L3, or if you bring Thrasher, he can just start in Null Mode and win in four or five combos.

It's achievable with lots of champs. It's just easier with Hulkbuster. People should stop complaining about the difficulty of Cavalier. We asked for it because Uncollected was too easy. If everyone finds Cavalier to be easy, we are right back where we were in need of a new difficulty (which people will complain about lol).
