The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!
Deathless Necro run by an *average? Valiant [who is apparently well below average on this challenge]

Team:
All r3 except DKG, who is r2 max boosted, no suicides.
Titania: She Hulk solo. Just build the traumas up. She Hulk can ignore the trap node due to a synergy with Thanos. I didn’t use her fear that much from her heavy as it would throw my groove off, but if the unblockable is getting you, you definitely can. I threw 2 sp3 to increase debuff duration since sometimes you have to wait out her haymaker charge. Then, just threw sp2. You’ll heal up nicely from the debuffs she places on you.
Vision: Guilly solo. I thought that with Vision’s tenacity coupled with the trap node, I would have a hard time parrying, but I was almost always able to when needed. Focus on keeping up Guilly’s neutralize with sp1 and the power pain is not existent. I forgot that Visions was a wonky delay when dexxing his sp1 [as I’m always just far away from him normally], so don’t forget that. Got clipped two times by it and still finished at full health.
Omega Sentinel: Thanos 2 revives, DKG 4. And here is where I start to deviate from everyone else. I just couldn’t get the hang of Thanos [and no, I didn’t practice with him before]. But DKG had I couldn’t keep the armor shatter up for some reason, so I’d just DKG it. He’d heal from the damage taken on specials, and his sp1 would remove armor break. Might have been better if I wasn’t using 20% revives.
Airwalker: Guilly solo. As many have said before, don’t dex his specials and you’ll be fine. Just use sp1 spam.
Captain Britain: Vision 3 revives. I decided I love him after I learned to play him. I used him more than Thanos [by a lot actually].
Wiccan: She Hulk 1 revive plus heal. I just used whatever special was ready. Despair kept his healing low so no need for sp1.
Psycho Man: Thanos, She Hulk. I revived Thanos, and still couldn’t get the hang of him. So I just She-Hulked him to death. Twice his traumas fell off, so I had to start again by building them up.
I wanted to go the Guardian path [I find it easier], but I didn’t want to risk getting the smoke screen bug. So Apoc it was.
Apoc: She-Hulk x2, Thanos x2, Vision x4, no healing with Vision, but did with the others. I didn’t even play around with Apoc’s nodes and trying to remove his genetic codes. Nor did I try to dex his specials. After failing with both Thanos and She Hulk, I found Vision to do really well. At times, he didn’t phase, even though I had a phase charge, but oh well. I found his furies easy to keep up, and he was able to manage Apoc’s specials well.
Tigra: She Hulk 1 revive – Just bait her sp1, which is easy to do once your have your traumas up and going. Just don’t get clipped.
Hercules: Guilly solo – Don’t throw any specials. I just stayed at sp3 the entire fight. Use your relic to hit him with your heavy to remove charges.
Sam Wilson: Thanos x 2, DKG x3 – After this fight, I just gave up on Thanos. I’m not getting him. I honestly wish I had r3’d DKG instead [and am probably the only one out they that will say it]. Just bait the sp1. When you have furies up and need ignition charges, hit into Sam’s block. Apply the 10 permanent armor break debuffs, then go for sp2.
DragonMan: She-Hulk Solo – nothing special, just keep up traumas. I did have to exit out and come back though because he held onto a sp3. However, since you get a free restart every hour, it was no biggie.
CAIW: She-Hulk solo: Again, just keep traumas up.
Nova: 4 revives plus some healing She hulk – I just can’t dex his sp1 one to save my/DSH’s live. Spammed sp2.
GM: She Hulk did most of the work for phased 1 and 2 [1 team revive, 4 regulars]. Vision was my boy for phase 3. He never entered wounded phase once, but I got him down but revive-man. I still had tons left so it was ok. Once, Vision got him down 7% in one go. I have no idea how. Vision took 18 revives I believe to get him to phase 4. Phase 4 was vision with 2 revives.
TL’DR I couldn’t get the hang of Thanos like everybody else does. So I used DKG more. She-Hulk was great, and I actually loved Vision. Congrats to everyone who did this challenge in so few revives. I don't know how you did it. But at least no units were spent.
The rewards were nice too. My Christmas Nexus was Enchantress, Jack and Red Hulk, and I wasn’t sure if I had done the right choice, but now I see I did. My nexus was Scream [already have], Jack and Leader. The 2 7* were Hype [first dupe] and new Sandman.

Rewards:

Scream better than sig 20 r2 maestro? For me 100%.
Have 40 single and 7 team revives left.
No free crystals were opened, building stash back to 1k is the goal, ~650 currently.
After all these necro challanges I'm kinda done with necro. People are enjoying necro, but Im over it tbh. So much time commitment. I get family walking into me and then many calls in most of my other runs. Had to get this one done in 4 sittings. I am tired with necro. No more necro, necro go away. Shuu.
Game gave us necromaster. I want boringmaster for some time.
I’ll give this a go soon once I replenish some units/revives. I am curious if all your champs were awakened and is it necessary for all the deathless champs. I have DHulk and DVis duped, but didn’t get the others in time to awaken them.
Good going getting it done. I just dread Necro.
Phase one and two just were bad enough, but I only got phase 3 to wounded phase once. Even my best runs, I’d get 3 prompts down and then inexplicably be fraction late and it’s instant KO. Or some other nonsense. Since nothing carries over, it’s just brutal.
I think that is what I hate about boss fights more than anything…. And why my favorite boss fight was Bahamet. You could screw up once, maybe twice without being KO’d. My brain needs that sort of practice with that much complexity. The necro GM? Eat a Heavy…dead. Just catch the end of the beam? Dead. And then there is runs where he just didn’t even bother throwing a special until his power gain pushed passed SP1.
I could see how it could be fun… but getting cooked so quick while trying to get it all down doesn’t it make it fun for me.
It's nice to have guilly awakened. It's regen.
Without her sig it will cost you a few extra revives and potions, nothing that will hurt your pockets.
You don't need KG for most of the run. His sig won't effect your run.
R2 she hulk will carry.
@TikkaMasala Awakened isn't needed for any of them, but does help.
The Regen helps guilly, and I took lots of block damage but still remained at 100% health.
I used DKG a lot, and his Regen helped, but if you use Thanos, then sig doesn't matter for DKG.
If say this was the second easiest (as long as you ignore my poor fighting ability against the GM). I also didn't study up on any of the fights or study the nodes again.
I died at 4 challenges many of my attempts.
One time I was 🤏close to get 5th challenge, i panicked and died to a heavy. Lol
Hit my block, whiff attacks, he dashed in to get hit on my whiff attempts.
I died more to eating combos to the face and sp2s. Didn't had problem with sp1s
I didnt had many potions to begin with, and had no plan to open free crystals, but I had plenty revives. It was more like throw revives save resources and get it over with.
I lied in above comment, I actually got him wounded at 7% and dkg knocked him to 1% in single combo. But that, one wounded phase, didnt make me feel of some achievement.
For vision, my damage was actually pretty good based on what everyone was saying for vision's damage. I found Vision's to be less stressful.
If I had to do them both over again, going on with the same strategy, I'd say Deathless was slightly less revive intensive and less stressful, but an experienced Adam player could do it better.
However, without Adam, unless you're a good reverse control player, the Deathless Phase 3 is better for brute forcing. @Polygon
Don't bother doing his prompts just do as much damage
Pushing GM to his corner gives him enough power gain that he throws sp2 only
But even if he throws sp1 just dex it
Just don't bother with prompts or it'll be big chore thanks to reverse control bs.
I used your DG method against Hercules. He still had protection more than I wanted with all the specials he was throwing, but at least I was still doing decent damage without needing to waste more time.
I agree with your feeling on (unduped) Deathless Thanos. It always felt like things were disappearing (armor breaks, fury buff, etc) even though I was doing the counterpunch. He did end up having the best 'survivability' in phase 3 GM for me though. Hopefully the dupe makes him feel much better to use, because otherwise, he's just not working out in my hands.
Also, this run made me realize I am worse at Reversed Controls than I expected (Cap Britain tripped me up more than I thought she would since I didn't use DV).
I have been doing it daily, for a month since the challenges came out.
It's simple revive mangement.
Now again, if you want to restart before an hour or two(not sure which), force close the app and wait 10 minutes. Then you will be out back into the game with zero health lost
