Hello everyone!
Today I’m going to be starting a paragon Speedrun with the hopes of breaking the current f2p record of 23 days set by Nagase.
I have done a few challenges like this before, with my most recent being thronebreaker in 6 days.
My goal for this Speedrun is 14 days, a large reduction from the previous record I know, but I believe it is possibly due to how the game has changed with new content such as 8.3, cheaper end of chapter unit deals etc.
I’m gonna do daily recaps in this post to showcase my progress, which will include stuff like pictures of roster, takedowns of specific quests (eg collector, grandmaster), and explanations of certain things I did/didn’t do to try and reach paragon.
I’m also gonna set up my own alliance for this challenge to take advantage of aq and bg rewards, as well as other alliance events, so if anyone wants to join the alliance please lmk.
Thanks everyone!

Hey guys.
Currently around 1hr 30 into day 1 and have managed to set up the alliance.
Anyone feel free to join
Day 1 mini-recap!
Not too much interesting stuff tbh, the first day or two of these accounts is the same process really.
100% act 1 and 2, and single clear of act 3 is done, which also completes the summoner graduation objectives.
3* Gamora is a great early game champ, so I took her to r4 and she will carry through act 4.
Anyways, you should record your runs, if you actually manage to pull this off within 14 days, you can upload your runs on YouTube and it'll be a great watch for us.
In terms of recording, what I think I’m gonna do is record some of the more intense fights (collector, champion, grandmaster etc), and upload them with titles including what day it was, and then uploading a video showcasing the account when I (hopefully) finish within 14 days.
I would record my full experience but that would be a pretty horrible watch because 99% of the fights are just smacking through act 4 and 5 post nerf.
Day 2 recap!
Had to make my first (kind of) big decision today. The current side quest rewards a 4 star awakening gem and awakening gem crystal for getting 5m points in the gold based one. So I decided to r5 and ascend nick fury and complete this objective to awaken him (I was lucky to get a skill gem from the crystal, so saved the generic).
Nick fury then just steam rolled content, act 4 and act 5 health pools are pretty low, so I was intentionally killing his first life to do massive damage in the second.
I’ve also uploaded my first video of a few fights on YouTube! The thumbnail has disappeared but I’ll try and stop that happening on the next video. It has the maestro, 5.2.4 storm and collector fights, where I had to use just 3 revives which is pretty good.
(Also I completely forgot maestro fight has heal block, so I had to 1% clutch the whole fight 😅)

Day 3 recap!
Very heavy push today because day 4 will be quite light as I have irl stuff that I have to do.
So we achieved cavalier today, had to be a bit inventive for the crossbones boss and use the NF and dead pool synergy so that stealth spidey could purify the poison.
This unlocked the 6.1 completion deal shown above. Incredible value for progressing accounts, so much value in them for around 1000 units.
I then used a decent amount of these resources to push through 6.2 (had to use Kamala khan 4* for sinister which was painful).
The champion turned out to be almost a solo with stealth spidey, I died at 4%
This unlocked the 6.2 completion deal which is also great value and gave another 6 star, but it was only black panther civil warrior sadly.
(Btw the omega red was from a side quest cav crystal which is quite nice)
Also uploaded my second video of some fights, it’s quite long I realise but it has the ultron, crossbones and champion fights, just showing how I got through them.
I think most of the “we need act 6 nerf” stuff is a consequence of act 5 difficulty being absolutely nuked down.
For example if you are an actual new player (so not like me who already knows how to play and loads of random tricks etc), the difference between act 5 as a whole and 6.1 is very big. You essentially go from mostly 60k health pool fights and 120k bosses in 5.4 to 180-200k path fights and 300k+ bosses in 6.1.
There’s also a lot of not too fun nodes introduced in act 6 such as no retreat, caustic temper etc, some of which are still challenging for a player like me.
Overall act 6 definitely doesn’t need a nerf, otherwise the problem will just move to being the jump from act 6 to act 7. I think what the game needs is an increase in the training ground missions so that new players can actually practice skills other than parry.
And that Dex against Collector, 🎉🎉🎉.
I am still figuring out dexing Maestro's special 1. 🥲
