Zone 25 - Best Hacks for Herc? Best 3rd Team Member?

Polygon

Is the third best team member thing?

At the very minimum a science that doesn’t get punished for buffs? But the benefit of thing is that he can also benefit from the buff cornocopia ?

What are the best hacks?

I know buff corno and the one that boosts attack for each unique , along with strategic movement and keep it going are a must. But perpetual offense is also really good. Then theres the degen on heavy that power drains and the one that boosts all attributes that can also be good.

Just want to know what the commonly agreed best hacks are

I used OG Thor and Heimdall

I use Herc and Heimdall ( after applying Odin and Galan prefights) and swap in other champs as needed in the third slot. I’ve used Kitty, Kingpin, Torch, Tigra and others.

Special Refund and Debuff Upgrade Stun allows you to almost infinitely stun lock if you make good use of your relic.

Strategic Movement and Keep It Going are probably the best standalone hacks for pure damage output. If you run Odin prefights and Buff Cornucopia, the hacks that give you bonus attack per buff/unique buff synergise quite nicely together.

I would say if you can nab Special Refund and Debuff Upgrade Stun then you're in for a significantly easier time on most of your late-zone fights, except on nodes/champs with stun immunity or frequent purifies.

I ended up doing my run without Keep It Going and only used up 6 filament revives to clear 25, even with a couple tricky boss node combinations and very frequent Photon appearances.

Well, the second best champion spot is arguable, but also it's usually best to leave the third spot flexible to be able to trade in a champion that can directly counter a problem fight for Herc (or whoever the main damage dealer is).
