Hi everyone. Really struggling with act 6. Can’t even get half way through 6.1.1 without being wiped out. Really struggling with the jump to fighting these champs at 34k rated etc. I think I maybe fight too aggressive but not sure. Can anyone give any advice? My team are around 10k rated each. Can’t upgrade anymore as I need tier 5 catalysts and where’s the only place I can get them?! Chapter 6 😂
Any tips massively appreciated
Just wait until you get to content where you're fighting champs with 100k+ rating, some even in the hundreds of thousands and millions.
You're at the stage right now where the best thing you can do is look up MCOC Noob on YouTube and follow his guides. He has guides for Act 6 and beyond with how the paths work and counters he recommends. Some of the Act 6 and 7 stuff will be somewhat outdated because of how many new champs have come out since, but he will at least get you started in a good direction. He also posts gameplay, so you will be able to see how the node sets work on each path.
This right here ^^^ is exactly how I (and I'm guessing at least 60% of the community, if not higher) got through Act 6, 7 and beyond.
MCOC Noob's video's on each individual Story act, chapter and quest are fantastic. He gives you the easiest path to take, recommended counters, and also how to complete all paths for you to achieve 100% completion further down the line. I would not have progressed anywhere near as much as I have without his guides, and I truly mean that. He massively brought my in-game knowledge and also my skill up. Credit where credit is due, he is a legend in the community.
That being said, in all honesty, you're probably at the stage where you could step away from story mode and focus on some of the other aspects of the game in order to expand and diversify your roster. It may sound counter-productive at first, but it's pointless keep attempting quests that you don't have a robust enough roster to properly counter.
My roster has definitely improved since I last posted 5 days ago. Managed to pull bishop in 2 6* crystals in a row! I think this is really helpful based on my testing with him so far. I’m really intrigued by abs man though. All the tier lists say he’s great, is he complicated to play? I’m just on 5.4.4 and think I have a roster ready for the cav push now. Who would you all use for your team of 5?!
OP, you gotta spend some units on those masteries. They are really holding you back. Unlocking the Precision / Cruelty tree and the Willpower tree should be priorities. Willpower is expensive so it might take a while. But unlocking Precision / Cruelty and moving points from Strength and Greater Strength. That’ll juice your damage a lot. Search for mastery videos on YT.
Wait, as a valiant I don't have anything in cruelty and precision how bad is this? I already know I need to redo masteries and put stuff in petrify and deep wounds. I never run any ouchies

But nowadays if I were to do 6.1.1, I wouldn’t necessarily take the Red Skull path, unless you have a counter. The Iron Man Infinity War path may be easier. But depends on the summoner

Cruelty and precision are crucial. I can send you screenshots of mine non-suicide setup. It's probably not the best, but I like it.

This is really helpful thanks. I can only really afford to unlock the lesser precision and cruelty at the moment so would you recommend going 5/5 on both of them? I want to save units for the banquet really
I’m so close to just giving up with this game. The step up to 6.1.1 from chapter 5 is crazy. I can’t get the hang of it at all. I feel like I’ve mastered agent venom but after that red skull I basically instantly die every time, and iron man infinity war isn’t much easier as you can’t parry against him. I’m in the situation where I need tier 5 catalysts to upgrade my champs to give me a chance but there’s nowhere I can get them without progressing further. Genuinely stuck and losing the enjoyment I once had for this game. Anything I try just doesn’t seem to help, I’m starting to feel like I’m just bad at the game!
@England73738 are you in an Alliance? The rewards from Alliance Quest will go along way to helping you get the resources you need to advance.
I can understand wanting to save for Banquet, but some of those masteries you're missing are pretty crucial...
For now I'd say pause on Story Quest and refocus to doing EQ, Side Quests, and grinding Arena for more Units. The game's really not made for people to just rush through the whole Story unless you're someone like @Cantona59 who knows the game well and so can rush through with a limited roster with their game knowledge.

Thanks - I’ve tried the side quests as I see you can get tier 5s from the variants but struggle with them too. I’m genuinely stuck for progression unless like you say I just pause and wait it out to get resources from multiple end of season alliance wars. My alliance is pretty good I think, usually around silver 2.

Angela can parry imiw but can’t handle his or red skull’s auto block until she’s awakened.
Act 6 is the worst of all of them for the roster people usually have at this point imo.
Start on the event and side quests to farm the rank up materials, plus lower progression eq have units which are useful for the masteries.
A month or two exploring a lot of EQ content is worth it and will help rank up your champs.
Don't feel disheartened. As mentioned, this isn't a game to just fly through in a couple of weeks and move onto something else. This is a game that takes a lot of time and investment, which is why there are multiple modes for you to switch between. You don't have a skill issue, you just have a diversity issue. As you get new champs, aspects of the game you once struggled with, you will be able to smash through. Side quests, EQ, variants, alliance quests are all great places to gain new champs and rank up resources.
Keep going, everyone here is behind you and ready to give advice. Just remember, we've all been there and been at that stage. I stepped away from story mode for over 12 months at one point just to grow my roster. And that helped me massively. 👍🏼👍🏼
