Some more info for Necropolis completion with Aegon

Jefechuta

So, I have mine R4 ascended, not enough Class Cat for the R5 so Ill do the run as he his right now, Im going for Titania aswell since I think all the path is "easily" doable with Aegon, my question is:

How many combo hits can I reach each time vs Titania?

I reached 200 hits in the last try, Titania lost only near 40 stacks of Ankh out of 140, so I had still 30 left, so I think I could reach something around 300-350.

Anyone was able to do more than this per try? The main reason is the lack of confidence I have vs some of the champions of that so I want to be efficient with the first ramp up to take Aegon to 999 with around 5-6 revives. (He is sig 200 btw)

200 is a great run. I think seatin was banking 50-100 each time. I would bank 150 or more probably

AegonTargarуen

I saved around 150 - 200 each time

Jefechuta

So, this is my max run, I did around 5 or 6 runs, I have noticed some things that could make everyone's run faster:

Depending on the AI, it will go back at first instead of hitting into block, this will trigger her effects since she will back in again immediately, in this case you will lose 8 stacks of Ankh, which is a ton really.

If she strikes immediately you can parry and afford this 8 stacks, I would just rerun the first fight till the AI cooperates at first, this will enable you to get more hits on the first try.

I kept doing the fight normally till she got half the Ankhs, in this case, I should be at 0 power, so Ill keep it going till I get to SP3, try to dont get the AA reduced by the node before doing SP3 to ensure the Stun, do all the hits possible while she is stunned, then use the Striker into SP1, this is the highest combo I got this way:



I got Heimdall in my team, I think if I used heavy just before she used her SP3 to get the Combo shield, I would survive with Heimdalls synergy and be able to get a couple 5 hit combos more before exiting.

If I remember correctly my Aegon was ramped up to about 820 by the end of the fight

In a single fight? Thats pretty impressive, I consider myself skilled but that would be insane

Oops haha I meant by the time I killed Titania

I managed to bank 130+ twice but most times it was 60-80 and I lost 70 twice (grr). I got her down when I was at about combo 740.

i normally got around 150-200 with r5 aegon . I just redo it again until i have like 350-400. It took me like 17 tries or so since titania AI is really aggressive to me , but yeah , able to bank 280 into persistent combo iirc

280 is pretty impressive, its kinda hard to keep it going after the second Ankh stage, due to the on block damage of Sp1/Sp2 and the risks of trying the dex.

Tho the SP1 is not hard to dex even rooted, I think out of 4 hits, you have to do only 2 dexs maybe? Idk, Ill wait to get a little more revives and Ill try a serious run, lets see what combo Im able to reach on the first try, thanks for the info guys!

Sorry for the dumb question, but how are you ramping aegon on fights you lose? Do you intentionally get him killed in the 6 second window when the heavy combo shield is up?

xLunatiXx

You pause and quit out

willrun4adonut

You can also die by block damage as it doesn't reset your combo, but most quit out.

jdschw

Ah, okay. Thanks!

Vegeta9001

I usually got to around 125-150 sp3, another 3 and a half combos, relic, another 5 hits, sp2, try my luck with another combo if she doesn't launch sp3, if she does I quit out

Doesn't Class Advantage completely ignore the defender's AAR immunity?

The trap node on that path will place a tranquilize on you that can lower the AA of your debuffs.

Jefechuta

So this is the max hit combo I was able to get, 273, I wanted to keep it going but I ate too much dmg due to root SP2.

Right now I dont know If I should take advantage of this last try and make it the completion one, tomorrow Ill decide, wish me luck

I’m getting ready to tackle necropolis sometime next week…

Probably this is thread to post this. This is solely my own opinion and I have not put it to the test, but it's based on the Aegon streams I have watched so far.

The Titania path is NOT the best path to take for an initial completion with Aegon. It LOOKS like it is, due to a Science champ being at the beginning of the path and the ability to ramp up Aegon. I believe that this path is full of fights that even a ramped up Aegon is not ideal for (Aarkus, AirWalker, Captain Britain, Wiccan at least) and people seem to just drop revives / units to clear these fights, under the certainty that they eventually will clear them (and they do).

I believe that the Red Goblin path is MUCH more Aegon-friendly and Aegon seems to be able to clear ALL of those fights with a minimum revive use. Of course, you will have to ramp him at RG, which perhaps it will be a little more difficult than at Titania, but I believe that it is eventually worth it. Seatin, at this path, had 4 straight fights where he used only 1 revive on each (6R5+ Aegon with recoil masteries). Therefore, this fight allows you to have a full team built around Aegon and one additional champ for reverse controls (GM's last phase).

Just my opinion though. But I am personally planning my initial clear around this approach: Red Goblin path.

I think Ill do mine with Titania, then RG since I want to explore Necropolis before Xmas

I will but it will be a while. I have some farming to do, sig up Aegon (he is only sig 30), ascend him and if possible from BF deals, take him to R5.

OMGofThunder

I see people talking about losing combos or quitting out. Why not just bring a Proxima to protect your combo then if you get hit you have a safety net and can quit out after that. Then you can't ever lose your combo.

phillgreen

Just messing around with aegon and hitting the challenger rating cap isn't hard on Roblin, I might have to consider this more, I don't seem to be able to have the same luck on Titania.
