Should I use suicides for chapter 6 completion?

Icepickisback

Currently about 2 months into this new account and I’ve been lucky to get a few good 6-star champs, most of who are very suicide friendly.
I finished 6.1 but want to make a push to be thronebreaker within a couple of months.

I’ve seen Mcoc noob used suicides for a lot of chapter 6 but then abandoned them later on. I haven’t upgraded my masteries much so far, but would like a good long term build. With suicides I could have a team of 6 stars kingpin (rank 2), Diablo awakened (rank 2 with a rank 3 mystic gem), Hercules, Knull, and ultron. But Hyperion, human torch and a few others wouldn’t be as usable.

What are your thoughts?

Max out suicides, willpower, and coagulate

If you don't mind occasionally having to turn them off for a specific path, I think it's worth using suicides. Diablo and herc are very sustainable with them, and if you do arena often, you'll definitely want them on

Don’t bother any big mastery purchases at all

Suicides are for the grindy ones and the whales mostly so I wouldnt even bother about it, I did completion with 5 stars without Suicides back then so I dont think you need them

Don’t unlock/upgrade suicides, but invest heavy in masteries

While the damage increase is nice, it will really limit your roster which is almost essential to have a diverse roster for places in act 6 and 7. I've never needed suicides for story content, however I would recommend getting max willpower anyways and 1 point in coagulate.

Not needed, many of us never turned them on through 8.1

I love throwing specials... so I am not a fan of running suicides. I play much better without them is what I have discovered.

Suicided are also detrimental to you AW defense and not helpful towards BG matches.

Suicides are for Arena. They deliver an incredible improvement on your rewards per time spent participating in that game mode. For every other game mode, it's basically a wash. Some champs are better, some end up being similarly as useful, and others are negatively impacted. I have them basically permanently active because of Arena although would likely prefer them off for most game modes. They aren't very hard to play around when WillPower is active especially if you add an extra point or two into Coagulate. It's important to note that using Red/Orange/Green Boosts cause them to do more damage to you so you can basically get most of their benefit by just using boosts and not having them active for that specific content.

I personally explored 8.1 and so far reached gladiator circut in all BG seasons. I like champs that benefit from suicide masteries. I wasn't running suicides since 2015 but last summer decided to rank up Hercules to R4 and unlock them. Damage is just amazing. Anyway whenever you want you can turn them off.

I have a new-ish second account and didn't even consider going past 5.3.1 without suicides, I run them all the time on my main acct. Your roster, by accident or by design, is well suited for suicides. It takes a whole bunch of units though, make sure you have enough before you starting unlocking them.

I would go suicides. Will power first and if u want to stop at willpower that's ok but get willpower
