Necropolis Champion Option R5 Ascended KP

I was planning on Ascending and R5 my Kingpin but Necropolis is forcing me to rethink a bit so i tried him against the Titania path and he took down 1 million health in less than 5 mins before I fumbled it on that test run. He's a R4 rn no ascension. To those who completed that path. What are your thoughts? Is he a viable option for Necropolis? Thanks

Please don't. For the love of God, just don't dare okay? I'm done talking.

Probably not. I haven't done Necropolis yet since I'm still working on my Zemo but the day it came out I tried Fantastic with a r3 Zemo + two Zemos for synergies no boosts and in five minutes I was able to take 3M health from him. 1M health in 4 minutes is not good so I'd say no, could be wrong since I haven't done Necropolis yet though.

Cool! I don't have Kate Bishop, I got a R1 7* Chavez, 6* R3 Shuri, 6* R3 Wiccan, No Aegon. Ive been on the hunt for Kate and Aegon but no luck on my last 5 6* crystals

I got Zemo, R3! Do I ascend him and R4 or wait for Aegon/Kate Bishop?

Yes, Kingpin is that good.

Kingpin is very good, but remember that Titania is likely to be his very best match-up, since he's got Class Advantage, and she inflicts debuffs through his block; which powers him up.

I mean, r5 and Ascend him, by all means. He'll be a menace in Battlegrounds and Alliance War. But I don't know that Necropolis will be his dominant stomping ground.

Happy to be proved wrong - post details, if you go for it...

Not worth if you are planning to do Necropolis, KP is useless there

Personally, I'd say yes but it depends, do you have a Shuri by any chance? You can do Fantastic and Apoc paths from start to finish with Zemo and Shuri alone but you really need Shuri for Captain Britain and Attuma they're kind of a roadblock if you don't have her.

I just beat Cerastes hoping to pull Kate or Aegon from my nexus picks but i got Future Antman and Domino (Major Ws) not what i was hoping for. I do have a R3 unawakened Shuri and Zemo I also have a generic awakening gem too. Need to R4 them though right?

At the very least, Shuri r4 yes, she'll be very slow but she'll be able to do the fights she needs to do with enough revives.
As for Zemo, I'd highly advice r5 ascended with extra Zemo synergies just because you really want to one shot that Air Walker or kill him on second try. If you don't kill Air Walker on your second try with Zemo you're kinda screwed and will probably have to start over or use a ton of units.
Then for GM you probably want reverse control immune for that last phase, that's it basically.

I agree with all that! Ill have to see what i got and go from there tbh! Cuz i cant R4 and R5 rn at the same time

I mean, R4 Zemo will work but as you can see here:

He won't be that quick. He can definitely still work, he does for me but personally I really want that r5 so I don't have to play two whole minutes against the defender with passive power gain and unblockable like I just did cause that can be a bit tricky. If you want my advice, be patient and get him to r5.

Great takedown! Def a long fight, but your advice def goes a long way, so i appreciate you taking the time to try that and all! Ill def R5 him cuz he's a beast, but its gonna be some time unless we get great black friday deals

Kingpin isn't even in the top 5 skill options for necropolis so if that's your priority, definitely not.

Here’s a curve ball - how about the Agent Venom team + Shuri and Wiccan for Path 2?

Assume a R5 ascended AV. I have checked path 2 and I’m sure just two champs out of 14 (excluding GM) are bleed immune
