    I completed my necro run!

    @Oakenshield i did exactly what you're comsidering, i.e. swapped Nick for Doom. (I did take heimdall thanks to @DNA3000 's analysis, and it was the right call.)

    Doom was quite useful for the AW fight. I did it in maybe 3 revives with 6*r4 Doom. I also used him for Aarkus because I did really well ramping aegon on Titania. He's quite good for that fight too - as long as you have a 5* relic, you can outlast the powerlock timer in your combo and basically just doomcycle him to death.

    Other than those two fights, I never ended up using him. I thought he would be good for cp'n Britain, but honestly, aegon is better because he'll just stay in reversed ctrls almost the whole fight. And after that i put on suicides, which is committing to aegon for the rest of the run.

    Thanks @DNA3000 , @MrSakuragi , and @jdschw

    Appreciate the perspective. Will give it some further thought, but probably back to NF vs. Doom based on what I read.

    inspired by @DNA3000

    Here's my Necro Completion Guide

    All up I used 103 revives.

    If an old man like me can do it - anyone should be able to do it!

    130 for me but I am an actual scrub and old enough that I couldnt see the combo meter on my phone. Im also stupid so I was using my other phone to take a photo of the screen then zooming in.

    Apparently, there is something called a screenshot? I'll have to look that up in the Funk & Wagnalls and see if its going to be useful in the future.

    Whether the approval of a rando from the internet matters (protip, it doesnt) I've had this thread on a tab open all week and read it before each fight.

    Whats the current crypt total?

    It was just over 4 million the last update, which was a few days ago

    I suppose you could also try to play under one of these:

    I was in a bit of a hurry, so this was not part of my resource farming efforts.
    Oh Lord, when I grow old,please bestow upon me the humour sense displayed by the old timers here and none of their motor impediments. Thanks

    This is my thread, and if anyone is going to be laughing at someone's Necropolis revive expenditures, it is going to be mine.

    Plus, I beat you with 148.

    Couldn't give you my total before, as I hadn't actually finished till now: 128 revives

    Which is not a lot different from 144.

    In some ways, I'm surprised I got through with so little; although I did my best to take advantage of the advice of others before me.

    This isn't Battlegrounds or War. In this part of the game, you're only competing with yourself, to see if you can do it at all.

    Congratulations! You could and you did! 😃
