Silk or Ham maybe
NF if you don’t have zemo?
And then scorp, toad, hulkling, or Titania for 2022?

I didn’t read the nodes fully quite yet I thought it was just supposed to be a buffed up photon

RiderofHell

If you don't attack her first you will die. I went in for an attack she blocked and i died. 🤦‍♂️

Yikes

Ironman3000

This is a super annoying fight with all the timers and direct damage.

JT_Supreme

Ugh I hate fighting photon lol

Squidopus

Jesus trying to get Zemo to work and she’s holding block during root more than she ever has before, which can very easily be a disaster with the petrify debuff when blocking lights. Might just get 9.1 done first and come back to Photon later.

Lokx

Finally, BRADLEY YOUR TIME IS HERE.

edit: never mind I'm still terrible and suffering.

Lokx

Though to be fair my r2 is doing good damage, can get her down to 60% easily within 20 seconds. Just need to learn how to handle her in light form mode and should be a easy solo.

edit: never mind I'm a liar, I did it once and can't seem to replicate it.

Am I missing something, you can only cast at max a special 2 every 15 seconds but every 15 seconds you gain 2.25 bars of power so inevitably after 4 special you either have to take 50% of your current health or go to special 3 and take 50% of your max health. What a joke!

Magician Spidey is good for 2022 and Spider-Verse

The intended fight design seems to be using the petrify debuff from the node and Photon’s base kit petrify passive to control your power gain and prevent yourself from taking unnecessary damage. It’s still some tight timing though.

Used spidey ham did sp1 stage fright kicked in as well as energetic overconfidence is active pushing me to sp3 before stage fright ended went from 100% to 0%. 🤦‍♂️

Correct - which makes Titania especially complicated. Just messing around with the fight- when I needed a petrify, I initiated haymaker… and blasted right through the block. Died not long after.

Another fight trying to get the busted AI to do things like hold block when you need it, but also be aggressive… and also throw specials. And it’s photon. Geesh

Hence hell nah

I did 79 attemtps trying to do Mole Man and eventually gave up.

I'm gonna do 0 attempts with this one and just save myself the time looking at this.

BlackTuran

I have r3 Bullseye. Should work right? He can’t miss

Squidopus

Got a lucky fight with Zemo where I brought her down to 25% before dying, decided to just concede a revive to finish the job and collect some of the SOS rewards. Maybe I’ll try to get a solo later but for now I can’t be bothered, I’ll work on 9.1 and come back for the other objectives later.

DocWest

This is just not fun. With how broken this game has been lately, a fight this punishing with bad AI not cooperating just makes me not want to play. Not at all happy with the state of the game right now.

EdisonLaw

It's Patrioting Time

xLunatiXx

Have to apply petrify to yourself so you don't shoot to sp3 and kill yourself. Also so you don't use 2 specials in 15 sec. Tricky

It should. It took me 5 revives with bullseye. But, got the job done

altavista

Also took me about 5 revives with an R2 Bullseye. But it really highlighted for me all the BS chip damage that Photon can inflict on you.

willrun4adonut

Silk 7r3 one revive boosted (got down to 8% second try)
Zemo r5a three revives unboosted
Scorpion r5a boosted three revives

But honestly I have no idea what was going on. I just went in planning to nuke her

JLordVileJ

9.1.1 armour path silver surfer boss looking way easier than this, I know what im doing

The AI was SO bad with Mole Man I was playing footsie so often and I just was NOT having fun.

Plus right now having extreme bizarre input/lag issues with my Titania against Guadian in RAIDS that I'm constantly not able to dex and I'm getting clipped against his special and I can't even run out the clock.

The game is getting less and less fun.

This is supposed to be an escape from the frustrations of my life - not a compounding frustration.

Fryday

I found Shang Chi, Black Cat and Silk work for me. Got it done while watching Youtube CCP doing 9.1.

Now time to jump into 9.1 myself 😊, and then wait about 3 months before spending those Titan crystals 🤣

Ashacekar

I used Shang Chi, Titania and Silk. I felt it as one of the easiest SoS.

Garlo

Very easy fight, you only have to control the timing, I used Zemo r5a, Hulkling r5a and Spider Star 7* r3, no revives used.
