Act 5, general tips

truthhh

I know the game has been out for years now and it may seem stupid but I downloaded the game around a month ago and I am still pretty new. I’ve done the research that I could on YouTube of how I should be playing the game and how other people play it etc. I’ve been trying to learn synergies and my fight skills are pretty basic if I’m honest.

I feel like I’ve messed up the account as for the first 2 weeks I was clueless and wasted credits, heals and energy etc.

My question is, am I able to do the act 5 with these champs I have as I’m already struggling in 5.1.2

I think you need to take a few more champs higher but you do have a few great champs.

One month and you are at Act 5.1.
I recall spending months playing before I get a first 4-Star. The game is indeed easier to get high tier champs.

Watch your mastery too. It is good investment.

You could do Act 5, but it won't be very fun.

I would have you 100% Act 4.
It provides a lot of Mastery points and will get your level up.
Your current roster would be a lot of fun.
You can also afford to focus on Kingpin and Archangel for your resources.
I'd bring up Warlock for the immunities/power control/healing control.

5.3 (and on) is where a broad roster is required.
Act 4, you can still have a small team and really focus your resources.

Thank you for going into that, I’ll certainly do my best to get some upgrades!

Thank you, yeah I’ve tried 5.1.2 a couple times now and it’s so annoying, I’ve already 100% act 1-4 and nearly done the master version of the event quest that’s out. I think it looks like I need to focus on events and alliance war rewards until I can upgrade everything.

Act 5 gets a bit worse at 5.1.5. And then tips into full blast at 5.2.4.

So, by then you’ll want to have that kingpin, archangel, or both ranked up a bit more. You’ll need the health pool.

Act 5.2.4 has the infamous Masochism node.
While you're still some time reaching there, it is still good to know what is ahead and think a little bit about the champs you may want to rank (when you get them).

I would say that you need to get better masteries...best investment in the game.
