My worst dilemma ever

I am at 6 points right now in summer of pain.
I have only missed mysterio because, well, I had no counter.
Now here comes this stupid emma, whom I can't defeat. Call me skillless if you want to, but if you took her down you'll know how tough it is to outsmart the AI.
At 7 points, I will get 50% t5cc selector. Right now, I have about 45% of a tech t5cc. Supposing I can do either emma or week 9 I will only be 5% of a tech 5cc away from TB (I just defeated grandmaster this week).
Now I have two choices:
1. Waste hours upon hours trying to kill emma and waste revives too... with no guarantee of actually defeating her
2. Give up and pray for the next SoP to be doable for me

Now, I'm not saying the summer of pain is a bad event... or that this fight must be nerfed.
All I'm saying is, either way, the "opportunity cost" is too risky for me.
If only they allowed us to at least know what the next fight will be, I'd be much happier and determined to go either way.
Anyway, thank you Kabam for bringing me so close to thronebreaker.
Also, thank you for ruining my sleep and life by not giving this little piece of clarity for the sake of suspense
If possible, I BEG YOU, Kabam, please let us know what the next fight is. View it as a piece of compensating for the parry bug, if you wish.

Next fight's the final boss and apparently it may be a ridiculous kang, so this may be a safer option

Heard people using g299 and human torch. I used wasp. Oscillate makes her AI aggressive when the passive fury is up, and defensive when the armor up is up.

If the rewards mean that much to you then just practice. You have an infinite amount of times you can practice with no cost of anything other than how much time you want to sink in

I know, but it is so difficult to play well

There is no meaning of practising as long as I can't take her down at 50% at a time.
Because then it'll be too risky to revive

You got a week to get used to it. Plenty of time

Honestly they could have removed miss immunity it wasnt necessary tbh

You got a guardian?
If so use him
At 17 charges it took off roughly about 50% of hear health. Now fire 2 special 2s when you have 17 charges or 1 special 2 when you have 34 chrsges and it's GGs.

I got the solo with this method.

I have an r4.
Tried using r5 prof but it is very difficult to intercept OR gain charges (you gotta risk charging heavies when she is in armor phase)

I’m pretty sure by practicing as much as you want, he referring to the fact that there’s no energy cost or fights to go through before Emma. You can restart until you get better at the fight.

If you can get her to 50% or close, you should weigh the cost of resource materials gained vs resources spent. I think it’s probably worth it for you to revive. Where else can you get the t5cc for such a low cost, and you have a week before you need to get it done. I’d farm some revives with your daily energy and the energy you get from rewards as well as solo objectives. Might not cost you anything at all, other than the auto fight time.

Hmm i guess i will farm those revives...
And prolly use monke cuz its a guaranteed 5-10% down each time.
While with g99 you gotta get to 60ish hits for 10%

BuggyDClown

Well that's SOP for you
Actually this Emma fight should have been 4th in SOP after it difficulty should have been escalated. That would have made it SOP as advertised. Or adaptoid 1st fight followed by mysterio then Emma. After it in would expect collector, The 6.2 Champ type bosses till week 9. It would have been real great to End gamers as difficulty would rise up and with more annoying and hard but practically skilled base nodes

If reverse controls are the hardest part for you then Prof X absolutely works.
Use the special 1 to gain charges and refresh prowess and after Emma throws a sp1 you have enough time to throw a quick heavy into air for more charges.

It's still a long fight this way since you don't ramp prowess fast but there's not much to worry about.

Try Fury. I m not a really good player myself, and I used 8 revives. It's a safe bet, you get around 12-15% off each fight in his phase two, and 20-25% 1st fight with both phases.

I know a cavalier player who used 10 revives to clear SOP emma, looks like his priorities are different from yours.

Personally, I’m giving up on Emma, I’m cav, I’m gonna say the resources for pushing thronebreaker

I used 20, F

Practise as much as possible, can you do a solid 20% each restart or even 10? then you know how many revives you need - farm l3 pots. Probably this is the last chance to get that point and ask yourself how many units is 50% t5cc worth? You get a random 25% t5cc from a variant 100% that could cost a fair few units.

Monk1

Are you really suggesting you don’t want to invest 5-10 revives and few pots in this fight..

Revives are free from 22 hour event or only cost 40 units. Look at it like are rewards worth 400 units.

Answer = yes.

Don’t get fixated on solo’ing this fight. You don’t get
More points or bigger rewards despite what some people Have you believe

I can do 10% each time yes..
Hopefully they give parry bug compensation ffs.

It's just 25% t5cc... im getting 25% t5cc anyway from 5 points milestone and the milestone on 7 points is a total of 50% t5cc. I am at 6 points rn.
If I can do the next fight, then all the units on this fight go waste.

Why should they? If we knew what the fight was before hand it wouldn’t be that painful. Everyone is dealing with it so you can do it too.

If 'only 25% t5cc' for a cavalier is your mindset then roll the dice dude, but the last summer of pain fight a roll over is as likely as groot getting a buff.

SidDDragon

Guilly works extremely well against her…her light attack reach is insane and it almost always connects with emma in fury phase…u wont do much for the first 100 hits but after that her damage really adds up..with a r5 u should he able to get her down in around 250 hits…i did it in 210 with unboosted r3 6* guilly and i think with a set of medium boosts u can have stats similar to an r3 champ

AntzRodz

Kang is gonna be the final Boss..with some crazy buff nodes
