    So far I’ve only done the debuff paradox path in 7.3.1 and it was fun. I almost soloed the RG boss with a r4 Morningstar. I’m also doing this chapter itemless which I’m looking forward too.
    Also can someone tag me when the end of chapter deal is shown, I want to know if I should save up units for it. Thanks!




    @StevieManWonder
    how in the world have they fully explored it already?? wow

    Is the Ultron boss in 7.3.1 bugged? I used Medusa and while armor shattered he was still evading and gaining armor ups? Still managed but figured I'd post about it. Does he bypass her aar in someway?

    I’m experiencing a slight pause in 7.3.2 Power Struggle between when the defender gains an Sp1 and when I do—just enough to throw off timing. Or there’s an input issue. Anyone else?

    Is Kang bugged ? I got a detonation damage around %20. Kang gave SP2 mission, I hit the L2 and knocked him with it and I died from that damage. Can someone explain what happened ?
    Assassin mastery or Pasify wrecked me ?

    I'm at Kang, he is bugged so bad, ALL MY HITS are dealing 0 damage, I'm playing perfectly, and managed to passively stun him 4 times in a row, all of them, I couldn't even deal 1 damage, all kinds of hits are dealing 0 damage!! Now what?
    I did the far right path

    Ally mate did the same path and ran into this issue as well, believes its because there's no way to gain paradox's facing kang and the linked node that the path enables give kang 150% damage reduction and each paradox on you when using a tech, mutant or mystic reduces that by 25% up to 200%. Soooo looks like you need to finish the last fight on that path with at least 3 paradox to do any damage and ideally 8 for max damage.

    Thanks for the input, yeah, my damage output was so low even though I had like 10 of each fury if not more, and the only one was dealing damage was Doom since I used him in the path (only 5 paradox)

    Also, IIRC, his abilities state that he will never ask for same special attack until you do all the cycle, when I fought him, I had to do sp1 twice in a row 2 times, and sp3 one time, same goes for sp2 (one time)
  • Mother_FlerkenMother_Flerken Member Posts: 510 ★★★
    Yeah mate went back in, banked 8 paradox with doom on the first fight then diablo the rest of the path and had no issues with kang with doom.

    It has to be bug, why allow us to swap champion if the champion will deal 0 damage? (Charged up path/far right)

    Synergies or for paths that don't require what that one does.

    That node has never been instant. You don’t want to be ending a combo when they would gain a bar of power. I usually try to end my combo when they are just under a bar or 2 of power then parry and throw full combo into special as normal.

    The delay can get you if in a standard MLLLM combo the final medium hit is what gives them the bar of power.

    Right—I recall running it right up to the line for the CB boss in 6.1as well as other content with Power Struggle, so it’s pretty close. When the green bar appears for the attacker though, that should mean you can fire at will.

    So while it may not have been “instant” before, it seems considerably less instant now. Whether that’s intended or part of the ongoing issues plaguing the game, I think it’s just something we will have to play through.

    Power struggle always had a delay. Always. Or is it more than usual? @Drooped2

    Good chapter but not as good as 7.1 or 7.2 from my initial completion run. I think I took most of the paradox paths and I didn't find the paradox mechanics all that enjoyable, so that could be why my opinion isn't so high. Some were nice and others just felt tedious.

    7.3.1-7.3.5 bosses that I took were all great.

    For a final boss, Kang was a 6-7 out of 10. Loved the animations. But this fight was just a dexterity/blocking game. Nothing that engaging or exciting (compared to bosses like Grandmaster or Gwenmaster). I'll admit the first time going against him was fun, but I can already tell future runs will just be me sleepwalking through the fight.

    I also ran into a number of bugs or what had to be unintended interactions throughout a few of the fights. The only one I remember clearly was when Kang was in his wounded state and all my hits dealt 0 damage lol

    Is the Ultron boss in 7.3.1 bugged? I used Medusa and while armor shattered he was still evading and gaining armor ups? Still managed but figured I'd post about it. Does he bypass her aar in someway?

    same when using Vision Aarkus

    He has increased ability accuracy for armour up buffs. Medusa only reduces it by -100% and he has 175% ability accuracy

    I saw MSD's video, but....

    ...How in the world do you launch an SP3 while your power is constantly being drained is Kang's phase 3?

    Aarkus just keep cold snap on and he’s okayish.

    Gotta say, Paradox paths are excitingly challenging.

    I am loving paradox, it comes with some genuinely awesome interactions. Loving the design of 7.3 so far!

    Yeah just noticed the 200% ability accuracy node. He only has 25% chance to activate armor up buff on block if I remember correctly. Plus 100% chance at 15% health intervals. The buff bonus node takes it to 100% / 175% then the 200% ability accuracy node on top. Missed that stuff.
