Which EOP Robot path without Dragonman or Nebula?

edited March 2023 in Strategy and Tips
For the life of me, I can't pull a 5-star or 6-star Dragonman or Nebula despite opening all the available crystals that semi target them.

Which path should I take if I decide to do it without them?

Right now, I am leaning towards the right path, since I have a Nimrod and Omega Sentinel for the other fights, but I am wondering how much of a road block Ikaris would be.

    You can make Right path with Dragon Man and 2 enemies, Kraven and Ikaris, so, you could save some resources with that.

    I used r2 guilly99 for ikarus and somehow clutched out a solo, it's tough but he can be beat with omega sentinel too as long as you don't throw sp2 or sp3, stick to sp1 spam

    I have a 5r5 G2099. How did you play the fight?

    Hey man @SlayinAlive just bumping again since you prob didn't see it.

    Don't we take damage from his specials when fighting him without a mystic? Could you explain in detail how you did the fight? Or if you have any footage that's always welcome :smile: I can't find any of any other robot than DM vs Ikaris

    He only deals that damage from specials after getting x amount of energize buffs and he will only gain the energize buffs from light attacks, by either champion and into block or actual hits, so I'd imagine just medium hits and heavies/specials. Just bare in mind you'll get that power detonator debuff when landing a medium hit, so make sure you throw a special before it ends.

    Seeing as you would need to be fairly agressive to reach a special before the power detonater goes off it seems like a tough fight. Especially with only mediums in the beginning, you can easily get screwed over if he turtels up a little and that power detonator goes off.

    Have you dont that fight without dman mackey? Any more insights or is the above literally all?

    Yeah not straight forward, you'll need a perfect AI cooperation which hasn't been a thing for some time now.

    Unfortunately the above is all the info I have to offer, I did the robot challenge on the left path and Dimensional tag for the right, that's as far as I've got atm.

    Your other option could be to just go for it not thinking about what you're doing and just deal as much as damage as you can and revive your way through. Hopefully someone else might be able to give more detailed advice

    you'll have to revive through ikarus unfortunately. could do it with ultron.

    Thanks for the insight @Mackey and @pseudosane I'm going to think it through carefully. Ranking 5 star dragon man might just be my best option

    Sorry I didn't see the message. I just played super slow not hitting him with any lights to give him energize and bait heavies to punish with my heavy
    That was his advice to me for the Spidey challenge. It's much easier said then done. I just revives through it because it took so long.
