Advice for pushing Zone 10+ in upcoming saga incursions

JackTheSnackJackTheSnack Member Posts: 671 ★★★
in General Discussion
Hey guys, I know the saga incursions come out tomorrow. They are usually solo right? I’m planning on pushing at least zone 10 for the tickets maybe more. Does anyone have any recommendations on a team that this will be easy to achieve? I typically run herc with the Odin synergy, but other than that who would be a sure fire guarantee to making it at least through zone 10. And what hacks have you found to work well? Will there be new hacks for the saga?

    Silk is going to be super good, similar to CGR where you skip nodes by killing them before they come into play. With the right hacks she also has a reliable stun lock.

    My team is probably going to be

    Silk (7* r3)
    Howard (7* r3)
    Toad (6* r5a)

    Itemless wont be possible with suicides right?

    Luke/Sinister/kushala are bleed immune/resistant but recoils will probably hurt since they rely on specials

    Generally speaking, champs with lots of debuffs or lots of buffs benefit the most from the highest number of hacks. So if you want to plan, think in those terms. As noted, Silk is Crazy with the hack that gives you fury for applying non damaging debuffs. Same for Cage. Ironheart and OS can be really good for similar reasons, etc.

    Well Herc is out because you need to use saga champs to run saga incursions.
    Silk and Mr Sinister will be the first champs I go to.

    I have sinister so that’s good. Also have white tiger and now Shathra

    Time to take up my toad to r4 is what it sounds like

    Best advice I can offer is be patient. Let the incursions update drop, see how it’s structured (do you still get the same ability to choose hacks at the beginning, are the champs still refreshed every five minutes, etc), watch the forums / YouTube for the best combinations of sage champs / hacks.

    Assuming zone 15 is still the target for the saga version of incursions, it really wasn’t that difficult last time. It’s more about patiently waiting (jumping in and out) until you get the hack combination that you want.

    It’s 10 for the tickets. Or will be for most moderate players

    I will be trying to carry people with Sinister r5a, Diablo 7r2 duped, and r5a Ultron to see if that's possible. I think it might be.

    But overall, I'd say sinister will be superb. Just get those degen hacks. He heals so well that suicides won't matter.

    But I mostly need to see if/who they change the bosses to before devising a strategy.

    Tons of champs work well with various hacks. Who do you have ranked highly OP?

    Ok cool. I have sinister. Think he’s r3 sig 130 rn but could take him to r4 as well as toad. If there’s a running list for carries for the saga I would love to join it. I usually put up DECENT runs in incursions. I do my research too. I thought they were solo but good to hear since I don’t have silk. I could def carry the lanes so we could make it to the boss at least up to zone 10 for the tickets. I know you get tired doing them tho. Just lmk if I could make it on the list if it isn’t already backed up🙂

    I also have Shathra. Could be broken with any of the prowess hacks and the perfect block hack. I have white tiger as well. Could be really good with strategic movement. Forgot who the other saga champs are lol

    I’m still fairly new and have head a lot of people mention suicides. I assume it’s some form of mastery but which one is it and what are the pros/cons? Thanks!

    I won't get tired of them until I get my Titan Teammate title. One Battlerealm Bestie title down (in 3 years), 49 more to go.

    I'll add you to my list. But first I have to see if my plan is even doable with one of my alliance mates for carrying first.

    I believe the special incursion comes with 5 mins cooldown timer, like the previous ones, But they haven't confirmed it tho. Let's see

    No idea. I'll have to study that and see which ones work well with the other champs. I'm only bringing him because he's a saga champ and he can regen half his health, which helps for carries. I'll probably initially select the armor break on 10 hits hack.

    He won't be on my initial team for my solo run. That'll be Silk and (doesn't matter who else as she crushes it).

    Since we're on the topic what's the best place to find a partner to push for zone 10+? Usually the highest I make it solo is zone 6-7 but I don't want to miss the incursions banquet crystals as I already skipped AW showcase

    Honestly, there are very few good partners since Kabam created the solo incursions. You can try posting and see if anyone takes you up on it.

    Suicides (also known as recoils and sometimes as ouchies) are recoil, double edge and liquid courage. They are in the top right corner of the offensive masteries. Basically they hurt you but vastly increase your damage. Recoil will increase your special damage but you take 5% damage every time you use an sp1 or sp2. Double edge will give you 30% higher attack but you get a bleed for the first 16 sec. Liquid courage will give you 30% higher attack but give you a permanent poison.
    I personally find them to be almost required for Aq as if I bring the right champions I can heal from the poison or bleed. But they are a detriment for other content if you can't bring so called suicide friendly champs (those that are immune to the debuffs or heal from them or use them as part of their kit).

    Hemostatic charge since he applies lot of bleeds.

    I don't think it does, but does hemostatic charge work with Ultron against mutants since they get converted to defense?

    Gotcha. Just let me know. I actually just pulled Luke cage and could rank him as well if need be. Still waiting on my 7 star hulk and silk pulls. I swear those two, 7 star spam, Kate bishop, and galan have been teasing me in the crystal reels forever. Otherwise my roster is pretty decent. About what you’d expect for an intermediate paragon player.

    It won't work against mutants but degen enhancement hacks work great

    I would say about the same here except I usually make it to zone 11-12 unless I’m running them with a partner. The saga incursions will be a bit tougher for me though bc of the champ requirements
  • Drago_von_DragoDrago_von_Drago Member Posts: 938 ★★★★
    Omega Sentinel can work well with a few different hacks and offers a miss counter and some regen ability.

    Jessica Jones can get really crazy with the fury when debuffs expire hack and the smaller hacks that benefit unblockable attacks and she has some regen access too.

    I’m planning to bring those two and maybe Mr. Sinister as a first attempt.

    The Abs man and Ibom duo are gonna be available, they’ll probably be good options. Abs man with the synergy covers basically every possible dot you could ever be worried about besides degen, and both of them have pretty good regen and bulk that’ll let them go the distance.

    Personally I’m gonna just have fun with Doc Ock. Yeah you need to hit the draining degen hack, but once you do you can legitimately end most incursion fights in less than 15 seconds.
