This is the first time I'm doing Act content on release day, so I feel like I should share some-
Tips
Quest 1: Did the burnout path. Bring a sasq counter, I brought sm99. Easiest boss is probably ultron, just keep knocking him down when he doesn't have grey power gain. You can also just deal enough damage normally. Watch out for the evade.
Quest 2: Power shield path for completion, ez. Claire is great. Screw Apoc. Went with sabretooth boss, took a couple of revives but I could've played this better. Bring claire or someone with lots of debuffs for playing into the node. Ikaris might be great for this.
Quest 3: Paradox block path was Hercules food, did Mangog boss, bring a slow champ so you can actually get out of the corner when he goes 10
Quest 4: Moth to the flame path. Nothing special, did it with hercules. You actually don't need a mojo counter for this mojo. Keep you power empty and spam heavy attacks, easy fight.
Quest 5: Ebb and flow intercept was decent. Hercules took most of the path with my average skill, mole man is great for sgwen, bring a nick counter. I was an idiot and brought archangel, had to finish him with herc. Namor is an easy boss, bring a biohazard counter and time your specials to the timer like encroaching stun
Quest 6: Paradox knockdown is hercules stunlock cheese. Bring someone for mephisto or just slow-play it

Akin to grandmaster, mechanics are most important part of this fight. There are four icons:
Stun: Don't attack him when he's stunned
Special: Don't punish his special
Fist: Don't punish his heavy
Hand: Don't intercept him
So when he doesn't have the icon of, say, stun, you can stun him and then hit him. He's going to dash back and shoot a beam. It's a really easy dex, and there's no penalty for blocking it other than wasted time. Each of these dexes will give you a charge. At ten charges he goes wounded and you deal real damage. Bring DPS champs. Once I figured out the mechanics I just revived hercules and he was great, did nearly half his health bar without suicides per cycle. Remember, slipstream charges carry throughout fights, so never intentionally quit out of the fight, try to get as many charges as you can before dying.
The time slow-down/forward didn't really matter for slipstream dexes, just let muscle memory from the normal dexes take over
took me a team revive to figure out the meaning, description was kinda confusing initially. I was tempted to watch guides that were probably out, but I persevered, and I'm really happy I did this blind.
For the special 1, I stopped trying to dex it and just dexed the last hit.
Now, time to appease the reward monkes
Rewards
From the selector I went with mystic just to have one at hand.
Seeing 25K shards made it seem like Fate wanted me to open a featured, but she's a feisty mistress or something
Basic was much more interesting
Nexus, however, .....
Now, the champion making that AG so so precious
Not committing right now, just gonna start to save my generics instead of dumping them into herc
Also here's my roster cause why not
