On my second account I pulled pre buff Diablo as a 4* and 5* a billion times and even pulled him on my girlfriends account (lost my crystal opening privileges for awhile after that) and then he got an amazing buff. Hopefully you have the same luck with IP
Let’s hope you gained the privileges back with Diablo’s buff, just tell her you were playing the long game!
Fingers crossed, Hawkeye’s buff has already been pretty cool for the account. Still messing around with him and working out if I want to rank him up
Week 11 and 12 Overview Time for the update on the last two weeks! Honestly only two things happened last week, so I'm glad I saved it to this week to do both at once.
As mentioned in the last update, I began by targeting incursions. I wanted to get the last artefacts needed to get to 27k for the Armour Up Crystal I mentioned. I would have been happy with almost any pull, and....
And that's a hell of a way to start of the update. War Machine is fast becoming one of my favourite tech champions in the game, he's so versatile, has amazing damage, utility and tankiness. I have him R3 as a 6* and he destroys so much, so easily. He's also the first pull from my "Most Wanted 5/6*" Segment, way back in week 7. It's also great to have his pre fights for Hulkbuster and Doc Oc, along with any other tech champs I may pull.
The new side quest then dropped last Wednesday, and I managed to get through the legendary difficulty! Hulkbuster with the energise could stun lock goblin, (200 hits though, wow), and Hulkbuster and Doc Oc took down the Doc Oc boss. There's a fantastic chunk of ISO, Gold, 5 and 5* shards in there, not to mention the Cav crystals. Speaking of which...
A sig 40 IP, boy I hope he gets a buff soon! I'll definitely take the ISO though. And while I didn't dupe any 4*, it's nice to get the Darkhawk, RG and Mr Fantastic for future if I do pull them again. ISO is probably the biggest struggle right now.
I also got a 5* formed from the side quest, giving me this beast. Better check out @DNA3000 's tips on how to use him on the new website..
The side quest also got me my first bit of T5CC since the Knull - my little Symbioid event 25% selector. So it's nice to get some small 2%s on the board. There's actually a little visual bug with catalyst inventories when you start a new account, it copies over the visual amount of fragments you have. So I had 30,000 T5CC science fragments, and it shows that in the inventory of my mini account but it's not actually there. The second you pull any new T5CC, it corrects it to the amount you actually have. So I pulled some mystic and skill, meaning they now show the correct amount.
I'm going to start a new segment after the overview tracking my T5CC amounts, but until I've pulled some of each class I'll just post the amounts.
Onto Week 11 now, I began with completing UC. It seems like I was struggling to complete it only a couple weeks ago and now I get through it reasonably easily, as long as there aren't fights I don't have ideal counters for. Kraven was a little tough without a proper counter, but throwing my team at him could generally get him down with 3 or 4 champs.
Next we had the free 4* Hercules gifted to us. As @Ace2319 mentions, I'm not actually sure how I feel about it. A 5/50 Herc would be incredible, of course, but as I'm focussing on Act 6 and variants, and Herc doesn't really fit into any of the remaining variants except the Moonknight one in the 4* Chapter, which I have other 4* for. And I can't bring Herc to Act 6 obviously. Add onto that, the fact I've just sigged up my 4* Ronan a bunch, meaning I could get Herc to around sig 14 and no higher, and the fact I have a cosmic awakening gem, 2-3 and 4-5 for a 5*. I feel like I'm better off just not investing the ISO into Herc. It's a tough choice since he's awesome, but even now I've moved past 4* for the most part.
I also thought this was a sign that maybe the 4* Herc wasn't the one to go for....
24 and 0 cosmic lol
The next part to update you guys on was Season rewards, unfortunately we didn't make Masters, but the push continues! We ended up in Bronze 2, which had a nice little 4k 5* Shards. Considering we faced 1 alliance who even placed defenders, it could have been worse.. And speaking of things that could be worse...
Wow, wow wow wow wow, wow. Wow... Wow. Account changer, sorry Wasp you ain't getting ranked up anytime soon now. This is such a fantastic pull for the account honestly, I mean I don't need to tell you. He's going to help so much, and will almost definitely be my first R5 Science.
Onto updates from yesterday and today, the next week of the side quest dropped with the Rhino quest. I was a little scared of the Legendary difficulty, I mean it's a beefy Rhino with not a lot of outright counters except take block damage. I ended up testing the water with Red Hulk, planning to use Doc Oc as my main option by getting an armour up then heavy attacking for a burst of damage. But I managed to pin Rhino in the corner with Rhulk, heavy attacking when I could, and after a 150 hit fight he was down!
After completing all of the side quest currently released, I opened a few more Cav crystals. One batch of 2 and one of 3.
Now, I've started watching the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films again to get myself hyped for Spider-Man No Way Home, and I began yesterday with Spider-Man 1. Firstly, wow, it's such a throwback watching the superhero films I grew up on. They are such a fun watch. And secondly, as I watched Willem Dafoe's Norman Osborn terrorise New York and grinded the side quest, I felt like I was seeing double...
A first 6* from a Cav, before I'd even got a 5* from a Cav. Honestly, if they weren't disclosed due to Apple's lootbox regulations I'd be asking "what are the odds of that". I can't be mad one bit, Goblin will be good for the account simply by being a 6* and there's definitely potential for a buff at some point. He's also one of the Cav EQ tags, so could be useful there. The only slight disappointment I had was finding out Doc and Goblin didn't have a synergy together! Which definitely could have been cool.
I also pulled a pretty great champ from the other crystal in this batch of 2..
Not sure if he will be ranked as a 5*, my tech champs are pretty stacked at the moment, but he's helpful for my Spidey rogue's gallery collection. And speaking of..
This was the highlight of the batch of 3, the other champs were a 4* Iron Patriot (I swear that guy is haunting me), and a 3* Stealth Spidey.
And the last update for this week(s) is that after I did this Side quest, I was 500 6* shards away from a crystal, so I decided to get some hero use points (and XP) by exploring chapter 1 and 2 of UC. Side note, I realised that since I'm only level 47, I don't have enough inventory space to even R2 a 6*! I have all the cats in overflow, but can't R2 my Doc Oc because I need 1 more slot for T4B and T4CC! So I'll likely be pushing XP for next week.
In any case, I finished UC exploration for chapter 1 and 2 (which has left me very close to another 5* Crystal, but..) has got me over 10k for my next 6*. Still riding the hype from Doc Oc and Morningstar, and to some extend Green Goblin as a free 6*, I didn't feel too much pressure on this one. I feel like it's time to get some bad luck.
However, a rollover from Longshot to this guy....
Left me feeling very happy. This guy ticks all the boxes. He's a mutant, I don't have a 6* Mutant yet and I picked 25% Mutant from the T5CC selector from the Knull side quest. He doesn't need to be awakened to wreck Act 6, or whatever else you need him for. He's a perfect champ for progressing players, covers a hell of a lot of ground.
A lot of you may see me using Colossus as an example of a champ who won’t often be the best rank up for end game pl, and I do mean that, there aren't many places he'd be my first choice on my main account, but ho-ly hell this is a great pull to get me through Act 6. I am over the moon with this pull. I used to love using him, and hopefully this will rekindle that love. Not to mention, that I have a 5* Omega Red to bring along for synergy. Those two are gonna be great to bring with each other. I'd love to dupe Omega now!
I also now have 3/6 classes with an easily TB worthy rank up! Doc for tech, Morningstar for mystic and Moonknight for skill Colossus for Mutant!

Most Wanted Champs I've still got my eye set on 6.2 as the next major challenge, unless I pull some champs that revolutionise a variant run. I do have a strong villain team, but for some reason I'm just not feeling it right now. I want maybe one or two more really strong villains to bring in. So right now, Mr Sinister is the big roadblock. I need a fury champ who can deal with the poison, or a poison immune champ who can deal with the damage reduction. Or ideally both! I have She Hulk, but really, I'm not her biggest fan and I don't particularly want to rank her up just for this.
Skill : Kingpin - Last week it was crossbones, but I've actually changed my mind. I think KP would be the push I need to save units to get willpower. I do want to get it, but I haven't felt like I've needed it yet. Someone like Diablo or Ibom could do the same, but I don't have KP as a 6* or a ranked up 5* on my main and I'd love to try him out
Science : Overseer Poison immune champ, gets a fury buff. Perfect for Sinister. He's recently been added to the pool, I think he's a fantastic champ, doesn't need to be awakened and I really enjoy playing my R3 6* on my main.
Mystic : Dragon Man - I've recently taken my 6* Dragon Man to R3 on my main without having done a single fight with him, I need him for AW defence. So getting him on my mini would give me a great chance to test him out. Plus, the magic combo - Poison immune and can get a fury buff!
Cosmic : Angela/Hela + Heimdall These guys come as a 3 simply because of their synergy. Any of them would be amazing, ideally Heimdall though. Any other champ like Hyp or Cap MM who are poison immune and get furies would be amazing too
Tech : G2099 - Same as last week, probably the only champ I'd use to take down Sinister without a fury buff. Plus really great all over.
Mutant : White Mags - again, same as last week. Just so much use from that pre fight.
Plan for Next Week Now that I have Torch, I may go for a bit of Cav EQ completion. I didn't have an option for the first quest at all from those tags, but now Torch is R3 I think I could give it a go! I'll probably do some incursions, I'll try get a bit more XP to be able to R2 a 6*. And I'll obviously be doing the side quest when it drops on Wednesday!

@IcyCoolDudeDoodle i know! The luck was very strong this week, let’s hope it keeps up
And yeah if you don’t mind, the whole post doesn’t need to be quoted, it clogs up the thread a little - and I think everyone knows what you’ll be talking about
Damn we're kinda close t5cc wise. I'm sitting at 12.5k Tech t5cc (woulda been more if I had picked up that 25% t5cc selector from the Knull side quest). Hopefully, I'll keep pulling more Tech frags and r3 a 6* (still need to complete Act 6 tho lol). I have a few decent options - 6* Ultron, Howard and someone else, but if I do form a tech t5cc first then Ultron is going to r3 for sure!
Good Luck with the challenge @BitterSteel . Will be continuing to follow this thread for more updates!
Looks like beside 6.2.2, you have good solid options for the rest of 6.2. Something I would keep in mind is that 6.3.1 may be another annoying roadblock so a good bleed champ may also be a good thing to look out for.
wait nvm you have moonknight already
6.3.6 cap IW also looks awful but ig that you won't have to worry about these things for a while.
if you wanna get through it in a few revives, wasp might be a good option
Great read, and awesome pulls
Yeah it's a good point on 6.3, right now I'm sort of blocking it out of my mind while I focus on 6.2, I mean I won't have got through 6.2 until at least a months time if not longer. Even if I pulled a perfect counter for sinister today it could take a while to R4 them, it would take longer to grind revives, and longer to do the content. I feel like by that time, I will have some good options for 6.3. Hopefully I won't be doing it with Moonknight (who can get a fury buff at certain times of the month, so I'd need to plan it so I didn't trigger buffet)
But for 6.3, the main roadblocks would be Medusa, Havok maybe? (HB isn't the best due to cornered, I suppose Doc Oc could be ok with a long armour up), Mysterio (I reckon torch could do quite well as long as he's R5 by then though) and as you say, Cap IW. That may just be a revive fest.

Best of luck! Sounds like you're close to getting onto the home stretch!
Fingers crossed, Hawkeye’s buff has already been pretty cool for the account. Still messing around with him and working out if I want to rank him up
I have an awakened 6* Hawkeye and from my experience I wouldn’t rank him up unless he’s awakened. This all to say, I’d hold off until you awakening him. Your rank up resources are better spent on other champions.

That seems to be my impression as well, and I’m not exactly hurting for a slow champion of a power controller at the moment either!

Thank you!
lol yeah, I am sorry... Also, mind givin' me the same luck.... At least the doctor doom?
Dude this is a really cool post really love the weekly progress! I just turned thronebreaker recently in an account i made may 26 and it took me almost 7 months to reach this milestone. I became uncollected in 9 days all thanks to 4* CGR which i got from the GM crystal very early in the game. Then i completed act 5 within the month alongwith EQ's and Side quest and managed to pull some good 5*s namely a 5* CGR, 6* ghost 6* moleman that helped me take on cavalier in almost 2 months in. Thereafter the journey gets harder because 6.2 requires alot of specific champs, i took me another month to get to champion boss but my luck was really bad on mystics and only champ who could outdamage the champion was CGR with cosmic boost. I failed a couple of time wasted a bunch of revives but in the end i conquered him thanks to some good YT vids about CGR 5 aptitude rotation ( also i had to Awaken him with a generic to deal with his buffs but it doesn't matter because his buffs weren't getting nullified by the damnation). 6.3 is another big leap to take cuz it requires some specific champs aa well but at this point i had some really good pulls and some really bad ones. Nick fury got me through medusa, voodoo got me through havok, then my progress kind of stopped for some weeks because i didn't have any good counter to fury( that is any good mutants), then i blew 2100 units because the game was getting monotonous and managed to pull 5* kitty pryde. Then i ranked her up to r4 and took on fury , took out ironman with CGR and 6* torch, mysterio was another hard one because of the falter node but i managed to take him out in some tries and revives, then came one of the hardest bosses of 6.3 the cap IW boss for whom the only viable counter i had was kitty, also ghost but i didn't have hood for whom i opened way too many crystals but didn't get him, so in order to take cap iW boss down i tried a couple of times with kitty but the AI wasn't responsive and used to vlip me with sp3 after the phase ended and then in the end i made a team of kitty, ghost,moleman, CGR, fury and used heavy boosts and many revives to take him out... It cost me nearly 1-1.2k units to take out all 6.3 bosses. 6.4 was compartively easier the only problem i faced in 6.4 was the adaptoid boss( no unstoppable counter) and Grandmaster( third phase reverse controls) somehow using revive i got through 6.4. act 7.1 was a breeze. 7.2 was not too bad either apart from gwen master( who is not too tough but the only problem in fighting her again is the reverse controls during sp1 in the first phase) took me a while but once i got past the first phase using alot of revives i was easily able to take out the rest of the phases. I completed act 7.3 recently, it is mainly easy but there are way too many unblockable nodes. And the Kang boss is not too tough if you know how to fight all the phases,the third phase is the toughest and the fourth is annoying if you cannot find openings and also stay close to kang. I had completed various variants before and all in all i was lacking a mere 10% in science, so i selected science and toom my torch to r3 to finally reach thronebreaker in almost 7 months. I think the average time for someone who grinds arena, is skilled and also has good rng can become thronebreaker in 4-5 months.
@Gogeta91199 I'm glad you're interested in my post! 7 months is a great time, congrats on getting TB that fast! I'm still unsure on how long it'll take me. T5CC is coming along nicely, Act 6 progress will get faster as my roster progresses too, I honestly think levels will be the roadblock towards the end Will need to hold enough catalysts to rank up a 6* to rank 3, and I won't be buying the sigil!
I will be interested to see how long it takes me compared to you! Congrats again, and I hope you enjoy my journey
Yeah hawkeye will be my best option for Medusa right now hopefully I can get him duped! There's a great youtuber called Nagase doing some awesome stuff with Hawkeye right now. Definitely check them out! Here's hawkeye soloing every Act 6 boss!

Getting there for sure! Would love to be TB before May next year hopefully!
@Gogeta91199 I'm glad you're interested in my post! 7 months is a great time, congrats on getting TB that fast! I'm still unsure on how long it'll take me. T5CC is coming along nicely, Act 6 progress will get faster as my roster progresses too, I honestly think levels will be the roadblock towards the end Will need to hold enough catalysts to rank up a 6* to rank 3, and I won't be buying the sigil!
I will be interested to see how long it takes me compared to you! Congrats again, and I hope you enjoy my journey
Yea leveling up fast is a pain in the ass, i autoplayed act 4 with boosts on instead of EQ last month to make sure i get TB before the Christmas gift comes along. I wish you good luck in your journey!
Week 13 Overview Boy oh boy, another week done, progress made, champs pulled, lag experienced, and about 35 hours solid of baiting specials. Fun fun fun!
This week began with the anniversary stuff dropping, and wow that is super helpful for my account. On my main, as an advanced TB, it's nice to have for sure as a boost - but for this lil Cav account, it's pretty close to a gamechanger. The calendar is perfect, half a 6* is amazing, 5* sig stones are great, and the T5CC selector is amazing. As soon as I saw it I knew I was going to pick mutant, not a doubt in my mind.
The arena was also amazing, even though I only have about 6 1* champs, I just did a bit here and there and managed to do it in a few days. That got me an essentially free 5* and 6*, so I didn't feel pressure while opening, I'd have been ok getting pretty much anyone.
Overall, I'm happy with that if I'm honest. A magik/dorm counter is never a bad thing, heal block is always nice. A solid pull in my view. I'm not sure if he would become my science option for TB, he would definitely be a last resort if I didn't have anyone better. But I think he brings value to my account, so I'm happy. As for Moonknight, my 6* is plenty good at shredding every fight he comes across, so the 5* isn't particularly welcome.
The halls of healing and ISO have been great daily quests, revives are always handy and ISO is such a roadblock right now that every bit is amazing to get. I have been 100%ing every difficulty for them to squeeze out every bit possible. I've been selecting science to level up torch, which is super handy, he has been so helpful already.
With the ISO, I have levelled up Colossus to level 25 and he has been crushing it. I mean, he genuinely has turned this challenge around with how much pure damage he throws around. He smashes through paths, especially with the Omega synergy I have as a 5*. Using him for UC exploration just made everything feel so simple. A few heavies and the fight is over! I don't want to sound greedy or tempt fate, but awakening him would be such a blessing to get those permanent armours, it really shoots up his damage in longer fights. Honestly, if he continues impressing I just might be tempted to rank him up on my main account. I'm just getting a new-found appreciation for him. Not even new-found, as I used to love him. It's like finding an old toy you used to love playing with and remembering why. But in this case the new toy is 30k heavy attacks.
I also rank 5d my Sorcerer Supreme with the mystic 4-5 gem I got from the variant a few weeks ago. I figured it's probably time, I'm getting some mystic ISO from the quest, and I may as well start levelling her up slowly. Unfortunately it means saying goodbye to my 6* Doc Oc profile pic, which I was getting fond of. Can't wait to have the catalyst capacity to rank him up!
As I said, I also explored UC 100%. Colossus tore through Kraven, transforming that fight from one I had difficulty facing in the completion run to one I could do with a blindfold on. I really need to start writing something in this update that isn't Colossus praise...
I also went for some Cav EQ completion, last month I only completed chapter 1 as I couldn't get any further. This month I made it to the end of chapter 2! This wouldn't have been possible without Torch and Colossus, the first quest alone with a permanent regen was too much without them. Torch benefits from the global, and colossus has permanent buffs to remove the regen. Luke Cage went down with a 200 hit solo with Torch. 1.2 Tigra wasn't bad at all with Torch pre fight, the path was ok with Colossus, MK and Red Hulk. Moonknight and Rulk benefit from the global. 2.1 is the sinister 6 quest, Goblin and Doc benefit from global, Colossus smashed away. Yondu was pretty simple with Doc Oc with 10 passive furies. 2.2 was tougher, Ghulk started earning his keep as an Avenger, the global was nice here. But Quake was rough, that block damage can get pretty crazy. Ended up just using Sp3 with Colossus and leaving her protection up while I built to it. I'm not sure on 3.1 and 2, 3.1 is just so ridiculously bad I don't think it's worth my time. I'll consider it, but the unstoppable and stun immune is so dumb
I'll move on now to a pretty big move I've made in the account. I used the 5* Generic gem I got way back in week 6 from the Knull Cosmic Horror side quest. Now, the champion in question did come up as a candidate a few weeks ago when I pulled them, but I decided against it due to a few different factors. But since then, things have changed. I won't keep it from you any longer, here is the newly awakened champ...
My reasoning is thus: I have a lot of sig stones (or I guess had), so instead of only sig 80 or so, I can get him to sig 144. I also pulled Colossus since then, and everywhere I've gone with Colossus I've been bringing Omega so it definitely helps for him not to be dead weight. Additionally, it's never going to be wasted resources to invest in a 5* Omega during this challenge in terms of pulling a 6*. I mean, I could pull a 6* Omega 5 times tomorrow, and I'm still not going to be using him instead of the 5*. Also, there aren't many champs that need awakening as much as Omega does. I still have a 5* Cosmic gem for a champ like Herc if I did get him, and I will clearly get more 5* gems in the future. I want to get some benefit from it now, and I feel this is a good way to get some. Him and Colossus will be such MVPs for act 6 and beyond, I can't see myself regretting it - until I pull him in a few days time, cause you know that's how it works...
Lastly, I also have my sights on variant 4, as it's probably one of the easier variants to complete, and I needed a counter for the electro in chapter one. Omega will do great! Once he's down, I can hand over to my 1-4*s to get through the rest of the variant. But I won't be doing it any time soon, my target at the moment is 6.2.
One last update before the main event of this week, I completed the side quest that dropped yesterday and pulled these as my rewards!
Imagine a pic of 5 side quest cavs, 4 3* and a 5* Rhino. Yeah, I know I forgot again.
Rhino could be cool with a buff, but really I don't need another science option! Cable is never really gonna be ranked up, but nice to have the synergy for Apoc if I pulled him.
And now the main update, I've began my journey into 6.2!
You all really have @JoshKosh557 to thank for this. I was thinking about what he said re: She Hulk vs Mr Sinister and using her without a fury buff, as a ramp up champ she can largely get around the issue of doing 10% damage. What I couldn't do however, was get around the issue of her being rank 1 level 1, I'd just ranked up Torch and was flat out of science ISO.
I basically figured I'll beat the Sym Supreme quest, I'll see how hard the paths are and then when I get to sinister I'll be able to make the decision whether to push for the completion of 6.2.2.
The Sym quest is life cycle, which really isn't too difficult. Colossus makes it easy as pie, lots of heavy attacks, stun on sp1 in case it's needed to help time the KO. The paths went down super fast to be honest, I don't know why but I just thought it would be so much harder, but I was finishing fights in one Sp2. I guess I'd built Act 6 up in my mind a little that even the early quests seemed scary in my memory. for 6.2.1 I used Colossus, Omega Red, Torch, Red Hulk and Doc Oc. The Dormammu mini boss with bubble shield was destroyed with Torch pre fight, and even without nova flame the Sym boss was easy enough with torch (even though incinerates didn't do damage with life cycle), I just got into flame on by applying 7 incinerates and used the nova flame to do damage.
Onto 6.2.2, the big one. The path again is easy enough, I went the biohazard lane and used Colossus and Omega to power through. On my team I also brought She Hulk R1 L1, Ghulk 6* and Rhulk. I figured then, I can use team revives and throw everyone at the boss, or I can focus on one if they end up doing better.
The path went smoothly, and I pulled up to the boss, all 356,000 HP of him. With the 90% damage reduction, it meant I'd need to do 3.56m damage with my assortment of low ranked champs. I'm basically doing a big abyss fight with a rank 1 Ghulk, Rank 4 Rhulk and Rank 1 she hulk... Oh, and my crits will all be regenerated.
I began by using Rhulk, I thought that the extra damage from the red numbers would get around his regen and be really helpful, but holy-bugged-interaction batman! The damage that the red numbers are supposed to do is 180% of the damage done per hit, when at 10 charges.
But as you can see in the screenshot, while it should be doing 216 damage, it's only doing 22. As it's physical damage, and Sinister doesn't have any resistance, I think there's some weird interaction with the Caustic Temper damage reduction reducing the burst damage to way less than what it should be. So unfortunately, Rhulk was not quite as useful as expected. More unfortunately, I noticed 2 or 3 hundred hits in. And having taken off 3% health, so that was fun.
Oddly, the AI of Mr Sinister seems very different to when I last faced him, and I feel like he's been chatting to 6.3.5 Mysterio with the amount of random heavies he threw. You know when Mysterio just throws a heavy on the other side of the screen, or when you're walking towards him? Or just about any other opportunity. Yeah, that was Mr Sinister today.
I then moved onto throwing Colossus at the boss and taking off a whole percent! Omega too, who did decently by taking off 4% after a few hundred hits. Ghulk did surprisingly good with his heal block, obviously not great damage, but the heal block helped. And I got into a good rhythm with him! My first try with She Hulk I got caught with a big heavy and died almost straight away, so I went a few rounds of revives with other champs.
My first big chunk of Sinister came later, when I got into a great rhythm with She Hulk and took around 15% off, I was stacking up to 80 furies and hitting for like 800 mediums, which was pretty great considering the damage reduction! I got about 350 hits off before mistiming a special dodge.
I won't bore you with many more details here, suffice it to say that it was a long fight. I mean, I didn't sit down and play through the whole thing in one sitting. I think I would have died. I did this over the course of today, and played for 15 mins, stopped, went and did something else and came back. I finished it a few hours ago with one hell of a run, I started with him at 40% and took him down the rest of the way with a 583 hit combo!
Overall, I think I made the right call. I used 6 or 7 revives, a couple hundred units, and now it opens up the rest of the chapter to make progress on. I don't have any other fights in 6.2 that I'm roadblocked for. Of course, this pretty much guarantees pulling a perfect counter for sinister soon, but I feel like waiting around for one wasn't the smart move. So thanks Josh, you owe me a few hours of my life...
Moving onto 6.2.3, which is the last quest I did today, and the last update of the week. Icarus was pretty simple for Colossus and Co. I brought War Machine, Hulkbuster, Omega, Colossus and Doc Oc. There was a tricky challenge in Emma Frost that meant I couldn't parry heavy, but War Machine saved me with his essentially permanent armour break. I'm so happy I have him and am very excited to get him ranked all the way up!
The Omega boss went down with a little fuss. I was a little tired and just wanted to get it over with, so made a couple mistakes. But HB had a great run taking 40% off him, limber is the annoying part meaning it's hard to remove your furies. But War Machine and HB have good heavy reaches to counter his SP1. Colossus had a good burst of damage, and Doc Oc had a great heavy chain in the corner. A couple revives later, and he was down!
Overall, another great week of the challenge. I also want to say thank you to everyone showing interest and commenting every week. I know we are all finding the game hard at the moment, but I'm glad there's a great corner of the community supporting me in this challenge! It's really keeping my interest in the game alive, I'm spending more time on this account than my main! So yeah, mushy part over, thank you. And I hope the interest stays here as we get further in the challenge!
Notable Rank ups Sorcerer Supreme rank 5 Colossus levelled to 1/25 Human Torch to rank 4 Omega Red to rank 2 Omega Red to rank 3 Omega Red Awakened and Sig 144
Most Wanted Champs Now that Sinister is down, we can have a little bit of a change around. I've half got my eye on 6.3, and half just want cool champs tbh. The bosses I need counters for are Cap IW and Medusa. For Havok I have Colossus, Mysterio I have Torch, IMIW I have Torch and Nick Fury I have Colossus.
Skill: Kingpin - same reasoning as last week "I think KP would be the push I need to save units to get willpower. I do want to get it, but I haven't felt like I've needed it yet. Someone like Diablo or Ibom could do the same, but I don't have KP as a 6* or a ranked up 5* on my main and I'd love to try him out"
Science: Mr Fantastic - He just helps out all around the place doesn't he? Such a great support champ, and from what I hear by himself as well! I've never had the opportunity to fight with him properly, but pulling him here would be great!
Mystic: Symbiote Supreme - I really, really wanted to stick with Dragon Man as my most wanted champ from last week. But since he was mainly there for sinister, I'm gonna change my mind for an option for Medusa in 6.3. I also have an awakened Sym on my main, and never found the push to R2 him. Maybe pulling him here could be the push!
Cosmic: Medusa - I recently pulled her as a 6* on my main from the featured, and I'm kinda hyped about her. I never pulled her as a 5* while she was on top of the meta, so would be nice to test her out. A new account is a great opportunity to try new champs!
Tech: Stark Spidey - I know he'd be a great option for 6.3 Cap IW with his taunt, and I can already hear Josh Kosh saying use She Hulk. Honestly, she may be a good option for him. I don't really want to rank her up, but maybe to rank 2.. Spidey would be cool though, same reasoning as Medusa!
Mutant: White Mags - you know why.
T5CC Tracker
Can you believe I'm 50% of the way there? I mean with RNG on my side, I could 100% 2 variants and have formed a Class cat! I mean, I kinda don't want that to happen, as I want to feel like I've earned it instead of got lucky, but still. Would be crazy. Especially since I can't even R2 a 6* yet! I'm sure my progress will balance out to other classes as well. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I formed a couple classes before getting to level 60 to unlock the inventory space.
Plan for Next Week I really need to get on and do some incursions, there's a lot of 5* shards available there. I'm gonna try and finish 6.2 this week as well, Colossus, Torch and Sorcerer should manage Kingpin, Mordo and Champion respectively. And gifting event starts this week too! I hope you're all ready! I'm likely going to be gifting items, but there are usually some GGCs to open from the milestones, so fingers crossed for some good pulls there! Good luck to all of you guys!
At the end of week 13 this is what the roster looks like!
Comments
At this rate I’ll have Doom, Apoc and Ghost at r3 before I’ve finished act 6
Fingers crossed, Hawkeye’s buff has already been pretty cool for the account. Still messing around with him and working out if I want to rank him up
And yeah if you don’t mind, the whole post doesn’t need to be quoted, it clogs up the thread a little - and I think everyone knows what you’ll be talking about
Thank you!
Good Luck with the challenge @BitterSteel . Will be continuing to follow this thread for more updates!
But for 6.3, the main roadblocks would be Medusa, Havok maybe? (HB isn't the best due to cornered, I suppose Doc Oc could be ok with a long armour up), Mysterio (I reckon torch could do quite well as long as he's R5 by then though) and as you say, Cap IW. That may just be a revive fest.
I had completed various variants before and all in all i was lacking a mere 10% in science, so i selected science and toom my torch to r3 to finally reach thronebreaker in almost 7 months. I think the average time for someone who grinds arena, is skilled and also has good rng can become thronebreaker in 4-5 months.
I will be interested to see how long it takes me compared to you! Congrats again, and I hope you enjoy my journey
I wish you good luck in your journey!

The path went smoothly, and I pulled up to the boss, all 356,000 HP of him. With the 90% damage reduction, it meant I'd need to do 3.56m damage with my assortment of low ranked champs. I'm basically doing a big abyss fight with a rank 1 Ghulk, Rank 4 Rhulk and Rank 1 she hulk... Oh, and my crits will all be regenerated.
I began by using Rhulk, I thought that the extra damage from the red numbers would get around his regen and be really helpful, but holy-bugged-interaction batman! The damage that the red numbers are supposed to do is 180% of the damage done per hit, when at 10 charges.
But as you can see in the screenshot, while it should be doing 216 damage, it's only doing 22.

I won't bore you with many more details here, suffice it to say that it was a long fight. I mean, I didn't sit down and play through the whole thing in one sitting. I think I would have died. I did this over the course of today, and played for 15 mins, stopped, went and did something else and came back. I finished it a few hours ago with one hell of a run, I started with him at 40% and took him down the rest of the way with a 583 hit combo!
Overall, I think I made the right call. I used 6 or 7 revives, a couple hundred units, and now it opens up the rest of the chapter to make progress on. I don't have any other fights in 6.2 that I'm roadblocked for. Of course, this pretty much guarantees pulling a perfect counter for sinister soon, but I feel like waiting around for one wasn't the smart move. So thanks Josh, you owe me a few hours of my life...
Moving onto 6.2.3, which is the last quest I did today, and the last update of the week. Icarus was pretty simple for Colossus and Co. I brought War Machine, Hulkbuster, Omega, Colossus and Doc Oc.

Skill: Kingpin - same reasoning as last week "I think KP would be the push I need to save units to get willpower. I do want to get it, but I haven't felt like I've needed it yet. Someone like Diablo or Ibom could do the same, but I don't have KP as a 6* or a ranked up 5* on my main and I'd love to try him out"
Science: Mr Fantastic - He just helps out all around the place doesn't he? Such a great support champ, and from what I hear by himself as well! I've never had the opportunity to fight with him properly, but pulling him here would be great!
Mystic: Symbiote Supreme - I really, really wanted to stick with Dragon Man as my most wanted champ from last week. But since he was mainly there for sinister, I'm gonna change my mind for an option for Medusa in 6.3. I also have an awakened Sym on my main, and never found the push to R2 him. Maybe pulling him here could be the push!
Cosmic: Medusa - I recently pulled her as a 6* on my main from the featured, and I'm kinda hyped about her. I never pulled her as a 5* while she was on top of the meta, so would be nice to test her out. A new account is a great opportunity to try new champs!
Tech: Stark Spidey - I know he'd be a great option for 6.3 Cap IW with his taunt, and I can already hear Josh Kosh saying use She Hulk. Honestly, she may be a good option for him. I don't really want to rank her up, but maybe to rank 2.. Spidey would be cool though, same reasoning as Medusa!
Mutant: White Mags - you know why.
T5CC Tracker
Can you believe I'm 50% of the way there? I mean with RNG on my side, I could 100% 2 variants and have formed a Class cat! I mean, I kinda don't want that to happen, as I want to feel like I've earned it instead of got lucky, but still. Would be crazy. Especially since I can't even R2 a 6* yet! I'm sure my progress will balance out to other classes as well. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I formed a couple classes before getting to level 60 to unlock the inventory space.
Plan for Next Week
I really need to get on and do some incursions, there's a lot of 5* shards available there. I'm gonna try and finish 6.2 this week as well, Colossus, Torch and Sorcerer should manage Kingpin, Mordo and Champion respectively. And gifting event starts this week too! I hope you're all ready! I'm likely going to be gifting items, but there are usually some GGCs to open from the milestones, so fingers crossed for some good pulls there! Good luck to all of you guys!
At the end of week 13 this is what the roster looks like!
