Who should I add to complete my team for Grandmaster Gauntlet or suggest I change my current champs?

I'm planning to do 5 runs this week with this team:

Herc r4 s200
Silk r4 s1
Kate Bishop r4 (I can awaken her)
White mags
?????

It's a hassle to post my roster via screenshots so just suggest anyone. I'm mostly terrified by Doom, Ibom (no solid poison immune yet), Dragon Man and probably Domino.

You'll need someone to deal with Sassy. Can Kate or Silk heal block?

With Silk's sig she can reverse it. I've seen Nagase did it and amazing for Mojo as well. She can easily chain heavies too ala Wasp so useful as well vs Lifecycle node.

You'll need to sig up a bit silk if you want to use her for sasquatch

Herc can do doom but it takes a bit of time. Kate can take ibom if you can put two tranquilize on him without dying. Herc can also take domino and dragon man. Imo you should probably bring in AA if you have him

That's not a problem. I can do that.

Definitely have AA. Thanks for the input.

I did 3 runs the other week with:

R5 Herc
R3 AA
R4 Nimrod
White Mags
Heimdall

This team was very effective, and of course doing it multiple times, it'll just get easier (assuming AI cooperates)

Nimrod possibly as the last; deals with domino and weapon x very easily.

Herc, as above, can solo doom. He can also take dragon man and iabom, although the latter you'll need one revive normally.

I'd definitely practice against a stacked sassy with a 3* silk, keeping that heal block up, when he enrages and goes stun immune, as you need him against the wall, is easy to watch nagase do it, but in the heat of that fight, could have you tearing your hair out. Torch (and AA) is so much safer and if you're only bringing silk for sassy and mojo, then bringing torch could be a better choice.

Also, a tip for sassy, you can use herc to nuke him first, then just use torch for the last 30%, as nova flames stop life cycle without having to knock him down.

(I have one more key to use and doing the last one later too)

You can nuke Sassy down with Herc then use a Nimrod for the last bit. He’ll get rid of the regen.
A lot easier if you have a relic on him for the stun and knock dows.
I’ve done this 4 times quite reliably and it can save you a spot for someone else.

Spidey2099 works much better for sassy. Spam sp1 till 15 on sassy. 1 - 2 withers and he can't regen or get his wrath so its a pretty straight forward fight.

Who are you planning to use Mag HoX for? Seems like with Herc, Silk, and Kate Bishop, you don't really need the ability to parry passive stun.

If you're only bringing him for the Prefight, seems like bringing a Heimdal or some other synergy champion in the spot could be nice.

He needs passive stun or passive evade block, for korg, which is why most people use apoc, aegon or herc with white mags. So Kate can technically do it, but no idea how the spacing stacks up with Kate against korg to heavy him every 10 hits AND you'll have to take hits into block, which sucks against this korg, to heavy counter him. His thorns damage will kill Kate, pretty rapidly just from heavies and specials. Let alone if you need to medium at any point.

But, just tested against my sig 200 R4 korg, and she can heavy counter him. No idea how expensive that will be in revives for Kate.

I have used Kate against Korg and she does pretty well. Coldsnap ignores the node so you really don't have to throw a heavy outside of refreshing the coldsnap. I have used Kate for both of my runs so far for korg. Took me like 2-3 revives each time because I suck at fighting korg 🤣

Parry evade for passive stun, heavy to place passive evade block, then light intercept to remove rock stacks to build to sp1, sp1 then try to back him up to the corner so you can refresh coldsnap, but use the parry evade, passive stun after he specials, to push him back to the wall again, without mediums or specials into rock stacks, taking thorns damage?

Hmmmm. Think I'll just take apoc ;-)

Jesting aside, that's some serious skill to take that korg with Kate 💪

I got the two tokens and used one with almost this team. I had Kate instead of Heimdall. Next time, will take your team above. Almost anywhere I could use Kate, I tried with Herc first and likely it was faster. Kate being an Avenger didn't even come in to play - when I ran through Thanos with the Herc train.

Coldsnap removes evade just fine, so it is much easier after the first special 1

Yes, but you have to get to sp1 to coldsnap him, so I was trying to work it out; her parry evade, puts on that passive evade counter so you can hit him with multiple lights to build to sp1 without dying, then hit him with sp1 and keep the heavies up, with him against the wall, to reapply coldsnap, right? Although just realised, you're presumably just spamming sp1 and don't bother with the heavies to refresh?

Kate is going to be very useful against porker, nightcrawler and Gwen due to her passives and as I have her duped 6*, wondering if I should make room.

(I still can't play ghost or tigra well and suck at Kate too it appears!)

You got to keep in mind that Kate's riposte counts as a light attack, so if you didn't trigger the evade from Mix Master, then he will evade your stun. I just would evade, LLMLL to trigger the evade and just try to not die before I throw my sp1

Also I didn't know if Spiderham was immune to her coldsnap anyways since he immune to debuff effects, so I just used Attuma on him

Not to derail this thread too much, but why was Attuma good for Spiderham, and why did you bring him (specifically to counter Spiderham or were there other champions to take on)?

Attuma's true accuracy on sp1 bypasses Modoks autoblock, prevents evade, isn't a debuff, and he does great damage. I used attuma for Modok, Spiderham and Spidergwen. He does extremely well on all of those fights. I also can't remember if I used him or Kate for Night Crawler.
