Archangel work for 8.4.2 Black cat?
Maw is a cheat code here. Cat as guaranteed crits which miss Maw

I tried that … and for some reason still got tagged while trying to miss/intercept. No big deal, still had other champs to finish the job but not sure why it didn’t work.

Which one is the Easiest path in act 8.4.6?
Not sure about easiest but I took the path with no extra stuff on the boss.

Okay usually I find the gold path easiest.. doing that on 8.4.6 too

Her guaranteed crits are disabled if you intercept her, you might have accidentally intercepted her.

Based on my intercept skills - it most surely was accidental… lol

8.4.2 path with Jane Foster -- Spider Ham it. Ignores degen (which isn't that powerful anyway) plus the taunt so that you can get Hood and Heimdall to throw sp1s.

Tried Gwen to avoid Heimdall's sp2 and it didn't work; guess his True Strike overrides her ability.

Can confirm. I took jane and dragon man sp3 with ham in the face and he shrugged it off like nothing happened.

Hulkbuster is insane on the 8.4.4 weapon path

I'm having trouble in this path 8.4.4 . Unblockable specials but I can't dex apoc/sinister specials. Who shall I use? Shuri is limited by the debuff immunity node. Who did you all used for this path?

I used Warlock for Sinister, Venom for Stealthy, and Hulkbuster/Emma for the rest. Sinister's Sp1 is easy to evade than Sp2.

The Immovable Object node will allow you to block the unblockable attacks. Also with a striker, you can remove their debuff immunity

LOL I took two and didn't die. Not even sure why but fine by me. Also it might've been 8.4.3.

I used Onslaught and Shocker. For apoc u just gotta believe in the heart of the cards and spam dex on his sp1; 60% of the time, it works everytime.

Ham reduces special damage by 50% at max nonsense, but still we take 50% of opponent special damage I wonder how we survived.

I used 6* awakened shuri, she can block unblockable specials. Yes apoc fight was slow with around 170 hits, but atleast I got a solo.

Just fought glykan,
Don't make this mistake, Avoid Taking champs who have stun on special attacks. It will mess up with your rotation

Priyabrata

Anyone know some good options for the Flux dispersal/ Act of War path in 8.4.5.
It's annoying as heck.

Sidd777

Spiderman and spider-gwen are amazing for the mordo path on 8.4.2. Spiderman does all the fights except mordo very easily just parry 3 hit combo and repeat. The petrify stacks up super fast.

Anyone have good options for the Mystic Disruption path in 8.4.6?

I did well with doom and hulk in phase 1 and 2. Struggle badly in phase 3 and that 1%. In phase 3 with 67% health left on Glykhan, hulk was able to stun lock and took it down to 1%.

Doom is one of the best counters with his great block prof. Kate really messed my run with her sp2 stun.

I used doom and herc

DOCTAHHHDOOOMMMMMM

shangchi can cheese the whole 8.4 with relic fuel. mlllm(stun) -> mllm (unblock) -> heavy - > relic -> mlllm(stun)... infinite stun

How do you chain a relic after the heavy?

Done 8.4.1 > 8.4.4.

Go watch MCOC Noob on youtube, he got great guides for both easy path and exploration.

I enjoy this, just plain fun to play. Watch some youtube, think and conspire, execution...appreciate easy bosses so far, save health potions and revives for Glykhan 👻

Always try to use a variety of champs (and NEVER Hercules). Have all my 8.4 paths posted for reference w/ timestamps to jump quickly to any fight if interested.
