Requesting tips for 5.3

D3fu

I sort of stopped playing the game this year but recently came back, I want to start completing the rest of act 5 so I can start getting Cavalier. I need some help to make a team for 5.3.1 and other quests. My champs are in pictures below, who should I use? Is there anyone I should rank up?
Note: I have 3 skill awakening gems, 1 mutant and 1 mystic, all 5*, is there anyone here I should use them on.

For 5.3, in each round, except for a specific class, the rest has a 50% attack reduction.

One method is to ignore the 50% attack reduction and be prepared for longer fights.

Another is to take Mystics for 5.3.1 and face off against SGwen, Red Hulk or Electro, Antman (yup).

Maybe a mix of both,
a/ have a champ which can armour break BPCW
b/ ORed can avoid damage hitting Electro?

4-Stars are not good due to heavy block damage unless you are good at intercepts, so rank up 5-Stars.

And that 6-Star and 5-Star Kang. 💐💐💐

Honestly, I would just rank up as you go. If you face any problems, see if you have a ranked up counter (even a semi-decent counter) and try that champ. Since this is Act 5, with older champs, there aren't too many insane defenders with insane nodes. You have a lot of high damage dealers (torch, hulkbuster, prof x, magneto), so you shouldn't have to worry too much about the damage reduction nodes. Just remember basic skills like parrying and dexing specials and you should be good. If there are any fights you can't counter easily, just quake them... it won't be too long a fight.

I would just say to read a guide about what paths to take and try them out and then use you resources accordingly. Good luck!

OG black panther is worth a skill gem and sigs. Him, magik, ultron, and void are all good rank ups but you could probably do most of it with your current champs
