Necropolis easier than Abyss ?

KingSkeletor

Hey everyone
After watching Seatin, KT1 and Swedeah DESTROY Necropolis, I wondered if Necropolis is easier than Abyss (I know health pools and attack rating are 3x Times higher and thé defenders are stronger) but hear me out
To be honest, I have completed none of them do I can't give my opinion about it BUT it seemed "easier" to complete Necropolis day 1 with current 6*R5 champs (Kate Bishop/Baron Zemo...), 7* champs (Shuri, Odin did well for Swedeah's runs...), ascension etc... than it was back then with 5* R5 champs when Abyss came out (2018 I think but I might be wrong)
I would love to hear veteran players' opinion about the difficulty in Abyss back then in 2018 and the difficulty in Necropolis nowadays


PS : Forgive me if my english isn't good

The collector was the worst part of the abyss for me, nameless grandmaster is really fun. Long fights are mainly about concentration and that hasn’t really changed. By this alone I find necro much easier than abyss.

I used sub 30 revives on the titania path, it really wasn't all that bad this time around if you have good champions, could've done better if I wasn't rushing it too. Some other paths look considerably less favourable though.

Well I don't think abyss came out in 2018, was a bit later than that but I certainly agree the grandmaster boss is a hundred times better than the collector in abyss. As for the overall paths though, it's hard to tell. The enrage timer change was definitely solid for kabam.

The abyss paths could certainly be a lot longer and the biggest fight healthpools were definitely bigger than necropolis, adjusting for the power level of ascended 6 star rank 5s and 7 stars. However, abyss didn't have any trap nodes and some of the nodes/fights can certainly be very tricky when it comes to exploration of necropolis.

Overall though, I would say people's skill level has massively improved relative to what they were 3 or 4 years ago when abyss came out. Also don't forget we have access to amazing new champions that were not in the contest when we had to do abyss originally. Ofc the mighty aegon was there, but there was none of the other top options we see running wild in necropolis like kate bishop, zemo, shuri etc.

Thus I think necropolis can certainly be a lot cheaper than abyss originally was (especially due to the boss fight) but in terms of difficulty, I would say some of the fights are actually a bit more difficult in necropolis, but as a community we have just gotten better at playing the game.

Hope that helps answer your question, but I cannot say for sure as I have only done 2 necro paths so far.

Abyss was in January 2020. If I remember could be 2021

Abyss’s difficulty was also artificially inflated by the mechanics of the fight. The charges would kill you no matter how well you played (unless you had a slow mechanic and played while they were unblockable) but Necro has a fair mechanic and you can actually solo fights

Abyss was more difficult on release because there was less counters. Also, all these YouTubers and players’ skill set vastly improved since Abyss. So combine with more counters and improved skill set, Necropolis appear easier.

I did my initial path of Abyss this year (I think, but it may have been towards the end of last year). And I just did my first path of Necropolis this morning. Looking back at my notes, I spent more on Abyss by about 20 revives (both were still a lot), so I'm going to say Necropolis is easier (and more enjoyable since there's no dumb evade).

removing the "fun and interactive" evade alone makes necropolis much more fun to play than abyss . Plus , the current state of the game now is better than when abyss drop too , we can use lots of champs in necro , like shuri , odin , kate , stryfe , nick fury , abs man , aegon , and basically any 7 star r2 which have solid damage output.... while abyss when it dropped only involve around nick , aegon , torch , doom

It’s not that it’s easier, it’s just designed better overall
