Last Necropolis path planning help

Squidopus

First of all, thanks to those who have responded to my other Necro help posts. I finished up my 5th path several days ago, which leaves me with one final path to complete for full exploration, path 4 (Jubilee/Stryfe). With the news of 7* Maestro’s dupe being available soon, I’m more encouraged than ever to get this done (I like Maestro, but I consider his sig very important so the 7* was always gonna warm my bench until the dupe was made available). I wanted to run through my final team plan and get opinions on if it would be sufficient.


Kate needs no introduction or explanation, and Chavez is there for the synergy and maybe for Galan. Guilly99 is to help with the first half since she ignores the trap node, and in particular helps for Silver Centurion. Serpent is a champ I wanted to try bringing since he ignores both trap nodes (ignores stifles, unreliant on crits, bypasses miss) and seems generally capable. Wiccan is there purely for Knull and GM phase 4, although I may swap him out for Abs man if I really want to make sure Knull goes down easy. I know Kate can supposedly do Knull, but I couldn’t get her to work well in my last run so I want a safer and easier counter.

Is there any fights I should be worried about? I know this team doesn’t have regen reversal (G99 barely counts) so I’ll be doing Diablo “legit”, but I figure Kate w/ despair is enough. Is he hard without cheese? I’m also wondering about Ibom, is Kate usable for him or is G99 better? And if there’s any other fights I should be worried about, I’d appreciate insight.

Figure this is also worth mentioning, I also have a maxed ascended 6* Serpent that I used for my path 6 run. I wanted to bring my 7* instead because I didn’t like the death immunity removing the utility of his dread charges if I messed up, plus the 7* has a much higher challenger rating and thus a longer death timer. The stats are basically identical between them, but I know by giving up the sig I’ll also be giving up the substantial attack boost he gets per culforce charge. Do you all think the 7* is still better or should I just use the 6* again?
