    @BitterSteel lol I actually dug up this thread today and bookmarked it coz I thought it had been a while since an update only to realise that it has been just short of a week

    Quake might be your best bet yet for 5.4 Mephisto, and an easy solo on modok although I can completely understand not wanting to use her

    On second thought, you do have 3 star torch and Shang so maybe it’s not a problem

    I'm hoping by that time I'll have better options, but I suppose it's not bad to have her as a last resort. I feel like Archangel can definitely deal with MODOK, even Prof X to be honest.

    Congrats on uncollected!

    It's a shame you can't bring 4*s into act 6, those two 5*s will have a hard time in there. Hopefully by that point you'll have a few more decent options.

    Thank you! Yes, my act 6 team so far is not building up too well lol. Hawkeye and Nova taking on the world.

    I do have 5k 5* shards right now, so I’m hopeful to opening another Crystal this next week. Fingers crossed it’ll be a useful champ for act 6. To be honest, just usable is what I’m aiming for. Poison immune or a debuff shrugger is something really important for Crossbones, or it could be a roadblock

    Maybe it's worth going for a cosmic/tech dual for a better chance at a poison immune?

    Unfortunately that crystal also has by far the most amount of misses out of the 3 dual types.

    I’ve thought about it for sure, but right now it’s not the priority. I think when I get to 6.1 if I still don’t have an option then I’ll consider going for the dual tech/cosmic.

    But another idea is to invest in willpower, then that means any champ can take him down just with low health.

    Ok guys, I’m going through a little strategy for the side quest for my account. I have to decide which quest to focus on, and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna go for Crystal shards (but if someone wants to make a case for rank ups materials I’d be happy to hear it)

    The two options are 250 6* shards per run, or 1500 5* shards per run. In total that is 7,000 6* shards for 28 days, or 42,000 5* shards for 28 days.

    My thinking is this, 4 5* could be very helpful in the long run. Hopefully that’s a poison immune champ, or a shrug off champ for crossbones.

    I currently have 3 5* champs (picked up the 5* nexus gold offer, which will be included in the Week 4 breakdown). So I feel like I need to pad out my 5* roster a bit, so while a 6* is obviously more powerful, it won’t do as much for my roster.

    Also, that 1 6* could be an absolute dud, whereas my odds for getting a usable champion is much higher with four 5*s.

    What would you go for in my position and why? Any thoughts at all are very appreciated!

    Definitely the 4 5*s

    Better chance for someone good + 5*s can take you all the way through act 6 no problem

    more champs= more chances at a good/useful one. So five stars definitely

    @Qacob @Malreck04 thanks guys, pretty much confirming what I was thinking! Just wanted to double check I wasn’t missing anything

    4 5* or 1 4/55 5* is really the balance as this account, I would guess, is not going anywhere beyond TB?

    So is it 4 5* vs a random class 5* and 7 t4cc plus 4 t2a?

    So really, it depends how fast you think you'll get the t4cc and t2a.

    Are you joining an alliance?

    On the face of it, as a TB, with lots of spare t4cc and t2a, I'd go with the 4 5*. But then I don't know how tough t4cc acquisition is for a new player now. 3/4 years ago, it wasn't great.

    Yes, once I get TB I won't really use this account again.

    I feel like Champion's are going to be a much bigger bottleneck for progression than rank up materials personally. I mean, at the end of the day, fights taking a little longer because I have 5 good rank 3 5*s is going to be a better position than having 1 good rank 4, but not being able to deal with a wider array of challenges presented by nodes. Going for 4 pulls feels like the stronger option for me, since the odds of pulling 4 non-useful champions in the basic pool is still fairly high if I'm honest. I don't want to get Groot, Sentry, Korg and Sup. Iron man for example. Increasing the crystals I open gives me a better shot of putting together a good 5* team to get me through act 6.

    I also feel like rank up materials are going to accumulate on their own. I mean, without trying at all I already have 3 T2A and even half a T5B, and I'm not even at the content that gives those catalysts out routinely. T4CC is going ok too, with 3 or 4 in each class.

    were you able to use the summoned symbiote in act 5?
  • SazedSazed Member Posts: 304 ★★
    also what difficulty of side quest are you doing? I am also grinding the Roblin quest
  • AverageDesiAverageDesi Member Posts: 5,260 ★★★★★
    Wasp is an amazing pull. Have her at r3 and she slaps so damn hard. The low health and BP is sad but since you can chain heavies you essentially can perpetually bait specials without having to block or intercept.

    At the time I was doing act 5 he was still rank 1, I had to catch up with side quests to rank 2 and 3 him. I believe you could use him for act 5, and I would have if he was ranked up.

    I’m doing the uncollected difficulty for it!

    I do enjoy reading this update :-)

    I’m really glad! Just for you, I’ll keep on doing them ;)

    Seriously though, I’m glad people are interested. Do you guys think they’re a good length? Am I going too in detail/is it boring lol. I want to make this enjoyable so feel free to give some feedback :)

    Yeah I love her ability to never take a blocked hit, it’s actually really powerful but kind of a hidden ability, since it’s not written down. MLLL Heavy is usually enough to push them back into the corner and heavy spam, bait special repeat.

    As I said, I’ve always wanted to play more with Wasp, and this is a perfect opportunity

    Something else that is somewhat obscure even though it's pretty much in her kit is the higher attack against debuffed champs after shrinking. This would generally apply to her heavies but it also applies to her specials as well as when you attack after you evade from kit. Although that chance is rare, it does come into play occasionally and her damage fluctuates a lot. Also, she is the best kingpin counter. Took care of 6.2.4 KP in just 58 hits

    They are the perfect length. It is very enjoyable to read these and I look foreward to them weekly

    I’m really glad! I’ll keep them the same length then :)

    Just right amount of description/length. It's interesting to see what someone can do who knows what they are doing and has plenty of story line content to do to reach a goal like this. Good luck to you!

    Having just done Cosmic Horror on my main account with my rank 4 Symba, and being 5 days away from rank 4ing my symbioide on Mini-Steel, I’m starting to smell my first 6* of this Thronebreaker account…

    This feels very, very doable. I’m really excited to get it done, maybe not in my next update on Thursday, but the one after that. I’m really hoping to be sharing some great 6* luck with you guys. Although really I just want someone who brings something to the table. Just someone who isn’t a dud if I’m honest.
