After reading a few necro threads, mostly by people with skill and the patience to actually read nodes rather than clicking them, saying “urrghhh” then just winging it like I do I thought there was no way I’m going there.
Then I read the necro run posted by
@DNA3000 whose writing style I enjoy and started to wonder if I was capable.
@Abspain101 posted his run and I thought, “to hell with it, I'm going for it"
Mainly though, I just wanted a R3 before my boy because I'm a jerk.
Decided that a 6r1/1 unduped Aegon wasn’t going to cut it so two lvl ups later and I have a 6r4 ascended and sig 180 aegon
First ascended champ even though I had enough for two, when the boy would ask why I wont use them my standard answer is “one day I’ll need it for something, then ill use it”
The day had come…
I started messing around on the roblin path but no matter how well I played, I copped the damage from some random timer so back to titania it is.
My team:
Aegon 6r4
Proxima (obvious)
Heimdall (again)
6r4 Juggs, not sure why but apparently I need him for something
6r2 Angela, yep Angela, you know how she has that synergy with heim that regens 15% of missing health? That’s not it? Turns out, It’s not the synergy at all, . I realized after getting exactly no percent regen. But, too late to back out now since I haven’t started yet.
Day one. (Monday, I think)
Didn’t have much luck at first but a bunch of restarts later I got a good run at it, so I thought. 18 revives later and 520 on the combo counter and she was done. Nothing special about it or me, just annoying, I'm not sure to whom that refers, probably Titania.
Tuesday.
Aarkus was also annoying, just wanted to hold until SP3, 16 revives and done but the combo was up to 820 so Aegon was getting fun.
Weird ambush guy (Don’t blame me, I’m reading my own notes here) was good fun. I’m not well known as someone who reads nodes, im getting old so I just don’t have the time. As a result of that I was pretty much punching a constantly indestructible defender until something funky happened and he just fell over. Combo count 890.
wednesday
Omega sentinel, Now we’re talking. 7 revives here, Im an idiot who kept forgetting that the combo shield from Aegon is only useful for the amount of time on the timer. Whoud have thunk it?
Normally this would be a pain, but 999 aegon cares not for nodes, neither do I, that’s why we get along.
Air walker: 11 revives. Despite knowing that he would regen like an idiot the pretty green numbers were pretty and I saw them a lot. When I stopped being an idiot, heavy spamming in the corner, hold sp3 for when I need it, take hits and hit back harder. Now I understand what face roll means. Also bought my first batch of revives in quite some time. I’ll have 20 please.
Thursday
Cap Britain: 9 revives, didn’t actually play that bad despite the count. MLLLL combos seemed to work, managed a 180 hit combo which wasn’t terrible. Used the same strategy as Air walker, big yellow numbers are also pretty.
Wiccan: 6 revives. Had the Heimdall synergy fail a couple of times for some reason. I tried to always push him to SP2 and block it because I don’t use wiccan and hardly fight them without HT so this isn’t the place to learn the evade strategy. Wiccan was very polite, I was able to throw two SP3 while having him trapped in the corner with his own SP3, some big damage in that run. Managed 195 final combo to end the fight.
Another Deadpool type guy, reading the nodes was actually useful. 52 second kill.
Psychoman, this one was fun. First run took off a bunch but I got stooged by needing to block a hit while old mate was stunned after my sp3, while holding his own sp3. Was running out of time so I got impatient and ended up using 4 revives. Aegon rewards the impatient, did I mention we were friends?
Popped more free crystals, finally the RNG went my way and I snagged 4 revives from 40 or 50 crystals.
Guardian. Used 4 revives here with a big first run, close to half health. I’d been using my phone until now, decided to use my other device except my dexes were terrible, it’s the sticky screens fault, not mine because I don’t suck.
Valkyrie, cost me 7. Couldn’t work out what the hitting into block was about. Sometimes I was hitting 10k into the block and not triggering unblockable, others were going unblockable straight away and screwing me up. Never mind. Its done now. Bought another 20 revives, because why not.
Red guardian: 1 revive. Easy wins. Shouldve been a solo.
Got bored, went back to arena for a while but all I do is curse that Im not critting, people are blocking my attacks and its generally hard work. Geez, I gotta wake up.
Onto the next fight tomorrow, maybe.
