It depends. Last week I was struggling to get Prof X to take off more than 20% health in my first run. So when I got him down to 60% on one of my runs, I just said screw it, revived him twice and it was done
Depends on the fight and who I’m using for it. Like last week with prof X I knew that solo was quicker than multiple shot so I didn’t revive even after a really good run. This week however for avenger i used cap iw and used some revives once I got him close to 50%, because I knew the fight wouldn’t be that different on the following attempts.
I soloed all so far with a single champ that fit both objectives (I'm only TB) and will do so for Dorm next week also even if it takes a fair amount of restarts. I play other games like Dark Souls and Monster Hunter so having to die over and over to take the boss down in a single go is nothing new to me.
The final week however with multiple bosses, I have no issues using revives for that one. Doesn't seem like a smart choice for me personally if say I beat the first 2, then die half way through the 3rd boss to restart to save revives.
Plus I hope I can use King Groot on that last week anyway. He not only makes Crossbones into a joke fight even taking a full duration Bane transfer but he also makes Blade stupid easy being bleed immune, power drain immune and can heal block Blade also. I did a run with KG vs Blade just to see and I finished on 99% health super easy.
I suspect vs Dorm also KG will be and easy win due to having 90% degen resist once you stay below a bar of power meaning spam SP1s and the degen resist + KG's super regen should be stupid easy (hopfully)
I HOPE I'm able to use KG on that last week so bad.
Usually, if I have a busy week, I have a threshold of like an hour that I will spend trying out different champs and playstyles. If I haven't gotten reasonable progress towards a solo by then, I'll just choose my farthest run (typically when the defender is around 50% health) and continue on with one or two revives.
Getting a solo is fun, but not worth the headache if one or two revives is all it takes. Revives are easy, time isn't cheap.
I mean sure it's cool to one shot a defender but it proves nothing to me lol. So if I can get them down below 50% the first go, I'm gonna revive once or twice. So far I've used 2 revives and I'm good to use a few more on Dorm if necessary and the final week .... I'm not interested in bragging about a one shot lol
Love the challenge of learning to work the AI. My favorite achievement was a solo version with a 3 star prof x on the ikaris with a full yellow health bar. I will say that input issues have ended more than one of my runs which is annoying at best and pushing me to disdain for the state of the game at worse.
I will say that I am quite annoyed at the paragon gate in general. Ive done every extra requirement just as a challenge for myself (all solos as well) and none of them presented a marginal increase in difficulty except for the dimensional being one. Had all of them been made like this latest one I would’ve understood why gating for such a new title would be justified (much harder objective reserved for top players is annoying but completely fair) but considering the ease of most of the paragon objectives so far it honestly feels like they’re just arbitrarily limiting rewards that any skilled TB would be able to get easily while hiding behind a guise of “roster progression”. Very reminiscent of how I felt when they barred 3 stars from content (who I wanted to use for synergies back at the time) then forced us to use them in ridiculous quests by themselves for carina’s challenges.
Im also with others in that I wont mind reviving for the 5th week. I consider not reviving the first 4 as “storing” for that week so I dont feel guilt haha.
I didn't have time to do cb, soloed ikarus tho and will solo blade. If its a hard fight and i get them under 25 I may as well revive. Over that I can do better and will back out and try again.

Normally go for the solo.

Aim for the same in 3rd one

I end up on peculiar thresholds
