I used to explore variants. But stopped after completion of the latest version. If rewards stay the same, if any new versions come out I will most likely just complete it for the 6 star shards. There is nothing of worth for me in the rewards outside of the 5k shards.
I focused on the handful of merc champs I had and got thru this variant.
6* rank2 Domino 5* rank5 Gwenpool 6* rank2 Luke Cage (not used as much as the other two above) 6* rank1 Black widow DO did a lot of work for me even vs the end venompool boss (see below) 6* rank1 Masacre
Sometimes I’d have red hulk on the team for Domino synergy
Outside of V1 it's the only variant I haven't fully explored... tho I did explore the first half of it. Kabam Fr just said "let's give them 5 decent champs to use then slap vivified literally everywhere and call it a day". It's not even difficult it's just extremely long and irritating.
Only part of the game, I have not 💯. And I am not going to anytime soon. I will rather sell my expiering revives for gold. Worst part of the game - and the rewards does nothing 🤷🏻♂️
I fully explored it as I had no other content to do having 100% explored all game content. With that being said, I did feel variant 8 had some irony to it. Before it was released kabam mods put out variants weren't considered end game content anymore and didn't need a reward buff.
Then it was released and it was clear it was easily worse variant since variant 1 (which ironically was advertised as end game content designed for only top summoners).
Completed entirety of it using flaming Trinity but used only domino cuz i didn't have rhulk or masacre in high rarity Last venompool boss was very fun with my 4s level 1 masacre
There is only one path I'm struggling with which is the power gain with Strange and Havok. I have tried that a lot of times and just never be able to do it perfectly. Already had a nightmare with an improved power gain in other variant and I'm trying not to get another headache with V8.
Technically not fully explored. I left 1 path unexplored in the last 3 variants because I had a lot of T5B in overflow and no champs worth ranking up. Now that BGs has added some value to my roster I'm going to explore the last 3 paths for the 6 T5B over the weekend.
At the time I didn't have any mercs or pools above 4/55 except 6* R2 nebula. I didn't think the quest as a whole was too difficult or unenjoyable, just a few annoying paths and sometimes the venompool boss ai screws you over. Used massacre mostly, the Regen really helps.
I did two paths a while ago, said “oh no I don’t like this” and left. I went back in yesterday since I thought maybe it would be better since some new mercenary rank ups but…. “Oh no I don’t like this no thank you”

I literally did the same thing after now having Masacre, Domino and VP at r3. Still awful
Slapped it up about a week after launch. Rank 2 masacre (now 3) and hit monkey rank 3 for the win. Destroyed almost everything. Used rank 4 5 star gwenpool when needed. Rank 4 5 star domino also.

Didn't enjoy any bit of it
Only positive fr me from V8 was that it made me like & R2 my Massacre
