I found this fight to be an absolute slog. But I managed it in the end (with 2 revives) and I’ve gotten it out of the way. With this I got the two points I wanted out of EoP, to say I proved myself in this challenge.

*Now I never want to touch this week or the Dormammu challenge again*

Barri8

Black widow do can do it.

living_legend_1

I used Dom and Sigil SW.

Riptide

I’m using 6* R2 unduped Hitmonkey for the Merc

And 5* sig 200 Falcon or 5* unduped Hulkbuster.

Any tips/ input on the fight would be great!

Also, should I use HB or Falcon?

🙏

I’m going to echo what I’ve heard and say if you have BWDO use her - she’ll tackle both objectives at once.
But if not, I’d say use Falcon for the Avengers challenge

Does falcon bypass the destructive feedback node

Ignoble

I don’t think he does, but I’d rather him over HB (though I do like HB)

Used my R3 6* BWDO with 20% boost. Probably could have one shotted it but didn’t feel like doing it again after getting Blade to 20% on one try. Cost me two revives on last 20% because AI cornered me once Blade reached SP1 and wouldn’t throw it. Best not to even think about the beneficial side of the surge protector node. If you get it, great. But don’t count on it as plagued mind will make it to where you’ll get it’s benefits only a couple of times. Just a slog of a fight where you’ll have to try and bait out another champs SP1 when they don’t want to throw it.

Easy solo for a Completion point.
The real pain is getting the other two points.

pseudosane

Cap IW is great for the Avengers side of it.
Domino is pretty good for the mercenary side.
CGR looks to be the only option for the paragon side unless you dont mind carpal tunnel.

AverageDesi

Domino works for merc

I have her… at 5* R1 lol

I keep meaning to rank her up for battlegrounds, but I pulled a Mags and he has to go up first for me

This week's fight was a challenge... a challenge to not fall asleep in a repetitive, monotonus fight.

Fluffy_paws

Not an objective but obviously I had to do it with Archangel. Didn't find it too bad.

Going to try Domino for the mercenary because why not.

AverageDesi

5* solo

The dimensional being thing is not appropriate. So we doing Dorm with buffed up and maybe Ebony Maw with Corvus and Ghost next?

CGR I’m hearing is great. For it. I’m no pargon.

GinjabredMonsta

Used BWDO and some boosts for the solo

Ignoble

Daaamn GGs. I had to burn revives for mine, you guys are killing that Blade

TheLegend27

Avenger - Namor
Merc - Domino

Dimensional Being - CGR...this was just a long, boring fight lol. Didn't care about rotation.

Buttehrs

I used apocalypse and a few revives not really bothered to try for anything else. But I will say far too many times blade would not throw a special 1 and when he did, he would immediately throw 2 of them back to back in a way I couldn't avoid both.

The fact that he can reparry you to make you bleed is just foolish

No, they getting lucky and he is actually throwing specials

It also has to do with timing and baiting. Sometimes I'd let him just block to heal and drain his power bar

Luck is only one factor, and certainly not the biggest. I thought this was a very well designed fight that could be tackled with most good champs.

Capiw is great for avenger. Perfect block all day so you don't get pushed into your corner. Much easier to control the fight. Messed up at the end and had to reverse as I didn't want to do it over again.

Hit monkey was a solo for merc.

Also used AA initially just to see and he works quite well.

Bwdo kept getting pushed back into my corner. Didn't particularly like that aspect in this fight since there's a lot of timing involved.

Shiroihara

That AI should enter the next summoner showdown.

Wouldn't a awakened mephisto work since he's immune to AAR
