Figured it'd be a good idea to get this started so people can discuss what works and what doesn't. Please feel free to post feedback below!

Coach_G1

What do the points go toward?

Charlie21540

The solo event.

ItsClobberinTime

I'm about to try Warlock and sp3 spam for #robot, let's see how it goes. I've genuinely no idea who else I could use there.

DocWest

Where are the bonus points outside of the one point just for beating it with anybody? In my Carina’s tab, the Robot and Gamma objectives only show to award 200,000 gold.

Charlie21540

It's in the "how to"

Emilia90

The robot objective looks like a pain. I’ve been doing some testing and this is certainty woeful content lol

Madman_marvin

Nothing works against Ab Man. (Idk what does or doesn’t work. I’ll wait on people smarter than me to figure out the counters)

Side note: 10 energy used per try is awful. Should only be one step, not two. I get why they put energy cost, but I think they way over corrected.

I’ve tried a few champs and you’re pretty much screwed if he refined even once. A single blocked hit is a crit that’ll kill a 7* r2

So for gamma i think best option is she hulk but i cant practise anymore due to the 10 energy per try is bad

Thank you

Nemesis_17

Not being 1 energy per tile is just an unnecessary stinginess considering the difficulty is pretty high at first glance

Thought so too she hulk has petrify on sp2 that stops healing and as for the robots probably guillotine 2099 and her sp2 to stop his regeneration
(Correct me if I am wrong)

U have to deal also with unstoppable so u dont want a long sp2 but robots seems bad as someone said the block damage is gonna be tough to fight

Vegeta9001

Is it true you spend 10 energy per restart now too? Haven't looked at it myself yet.

GroundedWisdom

Void is useful, if you have the patience to bait his L1 and make sure to hit him every so often. His Debuffs aren't DoT, so it works.

Yes, 5 per tile and there is 1 tile before the boss

Okay #robot is probably going to be the worst. That unstoppable and brute force are the worst part of the fight imo. I think I'll leave that one for later I'm gonna try Sasquatch for #gamma since he can shut down the unstoppable.

ThePredator1001

I got a solo with sandman, but it took forever. Can’t reverse healing and even the burst damage from his heavies doesn’t work. But sandman ignores the unstoppable and stops the healing with despair alone. Just spam sp2. He fulfills the sinister 6 objective

Thekiller8967

10 energy per try is horrible. Sucks the fun right out of the event for me. My favorite part has always been playing the fight many times with different strategies.

Madman_marvin

Enemy holding special bug REALLY rearing its ugly head in this challenge.

darj

My first thought for Robot was Dragon Man? Slow on SP1 and passive power gain could come in handy

Eb0ny-O-M4w

The AI bug is really annoying on this one

IvarTheBoneless

I'll copy my comment from another chat regarding warlock:
Warlock looked good in theory to counter his regen but his hits don't apply virus charges. The only way to healblock is with parry but that get's you killed quick with abs man's red damage.

I wanna say bug but idk if im overlooking a node interaction

ItsClobberinTime

One thing I will say, they need to stop adding brute force nodes when the AI is so passive with specials cause it's just annoying like what am I supposed to do there? Oh well I guess I'll just die?

Yep its hard to get a hit when they just block when they have a special

ReignkingTW

Big L with the 10 energy.

This. And one AI being annoying moment = death so there’s another 10 energy that’s gone. I wouldn’t really care if the 10 energy requirement wasn’t there, but now you get screwed even if you play well and the AI decides to suck

This #Robot might have to be the objective I'm allowed to skip. Unless Dragon Man can work. Don't see Nimrod and G2099 doing squat.

I doubt dm can do the fight as the regen hes not gonna have the damage
