Necropolis - Kate Bishop

Just got Kate and was going to use her for a necropolis run (No Aegon or shuri)
What fights do I need different champs for on the easy path? Suggestions for team composition?

You want someone for vision Aarkus, I'd recommend shuri for Wiccan and psychoman. You need someone else for guardian because of his insane energy and bleed resistance. That's about it. I'd also recommend Chavez for 3 trick arrows

U also need a tech champ for captain Britain. Unless you can do the whole fight with reverse controls on

MiniMF

if you start with tranquilizer u dont get debuff on kate and then u never have your control inversed

Wait till Cyber Week and pick Aegon from a selector. He's much easier and probably cheaper than Kate. Don't let KarateMike or Lag's runs fool you, many people are struggling with a Kate team. Cap Bayeee just did a Kate because he thought it would be cheaper than Aegon and it ended up at 90 revives, which is much more than most Aegon runs. There's no shade on him, but the top guys going through at 10-20 revives is unrealistic for most players.

Yea it maybe be cheaper if you cable of the skill necessary. For it but overall ægon might be the safest for majority. Of the people who average like my self

Really only need someone else for aarkus and guardian. Kate can do the rest but i'd advice to practice lots and lots and lots since you just got her.

Kate is super cheap. I’m an ok player and used 21 revives for the Titania path with her. She solos so much as long as you can player her well lmao. Unless you suck at using her she’s not going to cost a lot

Rotation suggestion?

Emilia90

It’s fight dependent, but I’d say it’s usually starting with the Fragility arrow. If you have Chavez, apply 3x fragility, then immediately switch to Coldsnap and apply 3x coldsnap. That should melt them well, but you could also apply 3x Caltrops for more damage and then cycle to the Sp3 for even more damage from the crit passives.

For fights like Titania, Air Walker, and Omega Sentinel (and on other paths Ibom/Spidey2099), you want to get 2x Tranquilize up first so no debuff ever touches you. Then just apply the fragility as normal followed by coldsnap and caltrops. Hope this helps!

That's very true, the average player can never ever imitate what Karate mike did with Zemo shuri and Kate.
Like ramping them alone takes bit of time and nothing gonna be worst than starting the same ramp up for 30+ times.
I for one going to follow Pepe Aegon run, eventually.

GroundedWisdom

Awesome. Thanks for the suggestions.

I’ve not watched the Karate/Lags streams, but did they heavy counter specials consistently with Kate? I can get the perfect release down, but I’d mainly rely on parries, relics, and her built in stun . Is that enough to keep them in the corner? Main concern is if they get passive and don’t throw specials until her effects are close to expiring.

@Emilia90 can you comment on this since you used her? Just curious what caused the fight to go in a completely different direction to the point it costed 90 revives as @Ironman3000 mentioned

Emilia90

I didn’t heavy counter specials much because I wanted to play it safe. I pretty much always relied on relic stuns/parries/her natural evade stun. It’s super easy to keep it that way and maintain her debuffs except in certain fights (like dragon man) where I did heavy counter because he went stun immune.

Remember that you barely ever have to be worried about her effects expiring or the opponent refusing to throw a special because she has an amazing cornered ability. The opponent would never fail to throw a special when I had them in the corner, it’s so easy to bait them repeatedly, then go into relic stun/evade stun and refresh your effects. She also pauses her effects when hitting block if she’s awakened.

I honestly have no idea how it would cost 90 revives tbh. I’m not familiar with Cap and his play style, but it’s not normal for most other YouTubers I’ve watched. KM, Lags, and MSD all did it with her super easily.

I think @DNA3000 said it best here, talking about his run through the Gauntlet a while back:

No shade to @Karatemike415 either - he's brilliant; and I love his enthusiasm and his videos.

But beware that enthusiasm: the man has Skillzzzzz. And just because he can do something doesn't mean that you can do it...

Regarding Ægon from cyber offers…we don’t even know I’d they will give us a 2018 selector this time around. Those have never been in game as far as I know.
