Necropolis Realistic Revive Preparation for a “B” level player

I want to complete Necropolis at the end of December.

I’ve grinded arena and the apothecary for revives but I’m just wondering how many revives I should have in storage to complete my first path.

I’m Paragon and likely an above-average skill but nothing amazing - probably a solid “B” level player. I’ve fully explored most content but it’s hard to gauge how many revives I’ll need because it’s been so long since I’ve done long form content.

I typically use maybe a couple revives on Monthly EQ (if I’m rushing) but I can usually complete a path from Act 6 to Act 8 without a revive if I’m focused.

I have a Rank 4 Ascended Aegon which I’m waiting to take to Rank 5 before I try Necropolis.

Any advice is appreciated.

100-110 just to be sure.

I did it with R5 unascended Aegon with about 100 revives and 150 4-hour crystals for potions, and that was also my first Everest content I've done. If you can get in the rhythm of the fights, you should be able to do it in less.

Make sure to change your masteries after you ramp up; I had a full offensive set up (suicides, deep wounds, assassin, fury) and beat Titania with only 550 saved.

Also, bring Heimdall to tank a Sp3 and a reverse control immune champ for Phase 4 of GM

If you have a solid shuri and boost up and bring heimdal and proxima and bring a reverse control immune then I don’t see you needing more than 75. My run was ~60 and I’m definitely not an A+ player however I had a 7* r2 duped shuri.

I recently did my completion run with a R4 unascended Aegon at sig 100. I took 115 revives in total.
You should be safe with having 100 revives and your team comp should be something like this:
Aegon
Proxima (makes ramping up aegon much safer and easier)
Heimdall (saves revives)
Any reverse control immune champ for Grandmaster's phase 4
Doom ( if you have him for Airwalker)
Remember to take breaks between fights, it helps in saving revives.
Lastly, good luck on your run.

I have not done "long form content" since RoL, if that still counts. I did the easy path with R5 ascended, sig 200 Aegon and it took me about 75 revives.

I did almost exactly what @Darkrider05 proposed here, and got the same results. My aegon was r4 ascended. Took about 110 revives, nearly all of them L1. (To be specific, I think I had 85 L1s in my stash and 17 L2s in my stash when I started, and I only had to dip into my actual inventory for a couple of revives in the end). I would also consider myself a "B" player.

I think I could have done it in a lot less with more practice, but 110 will get you there. My biggest problem was that I often failed to dex specials once the necro timer went off, and block damage with an L1 revive will still kill you pretty quick.

A reasonable target for R5 ascended Aegon is about a hundred revives. Going in almost blind with an R4 unascended Aegon took me on the order of 140 revives. With an R5 ascended Aegon it would have taken me about a hundred. Knowing what I know now, it would probably take me about 70ish.

If you go in with R5 ascended, and you read the easy path guides out there, especially with regard to a couple tough fights (I'm thinking Air Walker, Captain Britian, and Valkkyrie), and study the Grandmaster fight a bit, I think 100 is a reasonable goal to get under. But if you're not super confident, I would pad that a bit, or if you aren't afraid of spending some units just have enough for a decent buffer if you underestimate, say a thousand units for 25 more revives. Don't buy them until you actually need them, because there's a good chance you won't need them.

I went in with a r4 ascended Aegon and totally butchered my ramp up a few times on titania before figuring out what to do. Should have restarted but didn't and kept mashing my way through. Took about 130-140 revives with almost no stockpile of healing potions. A lot of 20% revives with no healing. By your description, you sound like you'd do better than I did.

I have 2 Accounts. First run was 10 days ago.
Main: r5 ascended Aegon 100 revives (30 for Titania, 10 for GM)
Alt: r4 ascended Aegon 100 revives (25 for Titania, 2 for GM)

I think, if you have 100 revives and some Units (2000+) for the worst case, you are absolutely fine. I havent spent a single Unit on both runs.

I, a quite okay paragon player am at the Grandmaster currently.
I went in with a r4 Aegon w/ proxima synergy and Odin Prefights.
I have used 60 revives and somewhere between 2.5k-3k units.
You’ll probably need around that at least.

I don’t know what level of player I’d be classed as, but I’m definitely not one of the best. I haven’t done EoP or Grandmaster’s Gauntlet and I struggled on some of the Necropolis fights that others had little trouble with. Overall, I used about 140 revives. I used a non-ascended R5 max sig Aegon. My masteries are also a joke 😂 In all seriousness, if I can do it, any Paragon player can do.

I definitely fall into the B-/C+ player group & I'm starting my 1st path tomorrow. Plan on using r5 Aegon, r2 Shuri, heimdall, prox, & juggy. I have around 120 revives, between overflow & inventory. Bunch of potions in overflow also & tons of 4hr crystals. I plan on using pretty much most of my supplies

Just finished my run, ascended r4 Aegon, 144 revives, no suicides and I didn't have many good boosts, so it was mostly lessers. I could have done much better I'm sure, but at least it is finished now
