It was a smart choice to have saved a cosmic gem for Corvus.(also your daily dose of a lengthy post)

Long post time.
Wouldn't have even bothered if I didn't have revives in the overflow, but that is not a sight that I can endure.
Tips for future attempters(with Corvus ig)
The month is still relatively new and this might be relevant, so I'm putting this at the top.
1)Restart your game if you're facing frame drops. For whatever reason my game was dropping every dang frame at the start of Mr N fight, so I kept accidentally parrying instead of dexing, and you don't want to parry in that fight. Might not work for everyone but it's a good suggestion in general.
2)Bring in someone else for she-hulk on your practice runs if you feel like she's taking too long, because Sunspot is significantly shorter.
3)I had guardian's 3 perfect block syn, and you really don't want to waste those in HM fight, for the first HM fight, parry heavy, bait out an evade, and wait for the passive to fall off, then parry heavy for charge. For the rest of the fight(s), you have a few ways to knock him down, parry heavy, heavy counter, and sp1. Also throw first light whenever you can for power because sp1 knocks him down and doesn't waste charges. Also, be aware of when you're gonna knock him down, and how much power he will have afterwards. You don't want to waste your protection cooldown trying to bait an sp1.
4)Get used to Mr N's abilities, it's not very hard to dex by itself but with inverted controls for varying intervals it can be a pain.
5)Nothing but good luck for tigra. Probably the most aggressive.
6)Shang's animations are really not gonna be much after you've fought Mr N and Tigra three times each, try to get to an sp1 early, and hit into his block while you wait for the stun timer to get close to ending, then you just back off and throw the sp1, although that will be difficult if he decides to throw his special at the same time. But really, he's not that hard, just a couple of revives.
Rewards
Nexus was meh, he's not getting ranked up anytime soon.
Really happy about this one though, he's currently at r4 and will probs be my next r5.
Not at all glad about this one, couldv'e been loads better. (Game crashed when I pulled him so no shot of the crystals opened page)
Revive Count
Nice try, scroll along
Difficulty
Going from easiest to hardest, Sunspot, She Hulk, HM, Negs, Tigra. HM is an interesting one because you actually have a limit to how much damage you can do in a run, but for me Negs and Tigra were easily worse. Probably half of all the revives I spent were on these two.
Negs: Worst inverted controls implementation ever, read his abilities and realized that the debuff duration varies with dark stacks, so I had a run where I dexed the first two parts, and got destroyed by the last part because I wasn't inverted anymore. Similarly, once the timer was so long that I dexed the entire special, but didn't realize I was still inverted and once again, got destroyed.
Tigra: Tigra's animations are simply unfair, she is a very annoying defender, and I wished that I did not have to fight her. This is a family-friendly forum, so I'll leave to your imagination what I would've replaced the bold phrases with.
Closing thoughts
IMIW dupe was not worth it, but I guess there really is no way to tell beforehand.
Also, I am really surprised to find out that there has been a button to preview my posts this entire while.

If you parry him, he gets light energy, which he will convert when knocked down or when he uses sp1, so avoid light energy = avoid reverse controls.
