Incursion room 25: is Herc the only way?

I am researching help with Incursions and it all leads to Herc, Odin, Galan, Heimdall.
It seems that, if RNGesus has not blessed you with these champs, you are out of luck.

It is also a notably different style of incursions now, so while Herc is still great, different hack combos can seriously boost other champs. I took even a 5/65 Aegon into TL6 with buff cornucopia, strategic movement, those hacks that give you increased attack per buff on you, and he was honestly as good as 6* R4 Herc for most of the fights. The only time I preferred Herc was for some of the later rooms where I didn't have any potions and needed the immortality to combat a specific node that caused damage, but then Aegon took several fights that I couldn't rely on Herc for (such as some of the buff removal nodes, which seemed more common).
I'm running through TL5 now with FAM, Valk, and Hulkling, and they all definitely have gotten a boods from other specific hacks. Herc is certainly not the only way, and I got to room 25 pretty cheaply with Herc, 5/65 Aegon, and Mojo I think, but I focused on him less.
but herc is definitely the fastest and safest option to get it done cheaply.
With other champs, some specific fights won't suit them.
Start herc odin galan, do fight with galan then prefights from galan and odin on herc.
Swap out odin for apoc and ramp him in that room if possible.
Swap out galan for stryfe and put horseman prefight on stryfe.
Swap out apoc for heimdall and your set.
I think some interesting possibilities are possible with swapping out champs but it seems to be a hassle when herc just hercs
It still won't be easy
(That was a bad joke)
It probably wasnt but It is funny
There's a pretty fun interaction of joe fixit with the hemorhage or whatever hack where you place a power sting for every bleed. Just one sp1 and they take around 420k sting damage. This is what I was using.
If you get special refund and martial artist you can stun lock with iHulk as well (not tried but pretty sure).
And obviously, any heavy buffed champ with buff corn is just gonna be a destruction machine.
There might be other cool interactions like these. Keep researching.
People have even used their 5* Hercs for zone 25 push instead of relying on other champs as 6*
Look at the boxes that Hercules ticks that make him godly (heh) and use someone that also ticks them, either by themselves or with synergies.
If there was ever a time for experimenting with alternatives, this is it.
You should be able to get several zones in itemless and be able to see what's going to work for you and what won't.
