For death by debuffs i wanted to know which campions i can use from my roster. Currently in 7* science and tech i have shuri, silk, spot, hulk, LD, Photon, mr negative, stark spidy, mysterio, IMIW, guardian, thing, spidy, racoon , leader, gewn, falcon, warlock, peni and luke.

I got stuck on adam with the team, photon, shuri and silk

Help please 👍

Sorry can’t help but i am eyeing this same path and buffed up node is my concern,..idk what science/tech champs will do him damage.

For spiderham path I went
Sassy
Mordo
Onslaught.

Mordo destroys viz and can do annhilus. Also on ham. Just stack power stings. Wait till you get the special 3 icon on you and pop sp3 its an instant kill

ok i completed this quest

Nebula path - first 4 fights solo
Adam - 3 revives with sentinel and ironheart
Aegon - 1 team revive.

Ares - 5-6 team revives and 25 solo revives. This fight absolutely sucks. You need ultra fast reflexes to do all actions, on top of that the time will keep on changing every phase and he throws random specials. I'll say 99% of the community is going to brute force this sh*t. I haven't dexed a single special fully.

Thanks to vigor charges the more you die, you'll deal wayy more damage. My strategy after 15+ vigor charges is just to hit as much as possible with your best attacker before he throws a special. At 20 vigor my silk took 10% of his health so after 15 revivee you'll dela insane damage.

Stick to one attacker until final phase since vigor cross fights apply to attacker and not defended.

The last phase is absolute sh*t Ares Ai is like onslaught on steroids. He acts like he is the msd in light intercepting. Try to complete parts of the special attack actions, or simply just do one dex and keep on tapping block screen which will register few parries. This will remove some solid chunk of his immortalities. Use team revives kn this phase

I'll say 30 revives are pretty good if you wanna brute force this guy.

Pausing on Ares helps just when he takes out the weapon
You can see which special he's throwing from the glow in his eyes , one flash for sp1 two for the sp2, pausing is just sad and definitely not the way it should be done

Tha is for the tip, I'll see if I can use your method. Else I'll just do the pausing. I'm good.

do wong, isophene, spiral work for his immortallity?

Magicsol

do wong, isophene, spiral work for his immortallity?

No lmao, why would they. It wouldn't be a boss fight if u could skip his hardest phase

@Smoky4ii20 thanks for the tip. Works like a charm

Did pretty much the same for my run too and costed around the same.
After seeing MSD's stream I thought I had the prompts on lock but I couldn't have been more wrong, like the first parry is fine but I am not able to understand when to parry the 2nd time

dr2ws

I haven’t tried it nor do I want to, but would G2099 shut down that final 5% like she does normally?

willrun4adonut

I doubt it as he can't die with his persistent charges. So I'd also doubt that it would take him from 5% to 1 HP.

Help please 👍

Youll have to restart, adams opponent has to have atleast three buffs, so characters like howard will work on him.

Would spot be good for the science path? Cant remember if it is any debuff or just non damagin but if it is any then just go untouchable then go crazy right? i have a r3, will check later

Any debuff.
Weirdly enough, I tried Vox for Nebula path, and his debuffs seems extremely inefficient, even when I put 10 at once. Then I tried with Iron Man, and his 3 armor breaks on sp1 were dealing 29000 damage. How does this node works? I'm lost

Herbal_Taxman

There’s a cooldown on the damage from applying debuffs, so if you drop ten degens at the same time you only get credit for one debuff.

parry heavy Hawkeye solos first 3 champs

But Iron Man hits three armor breaks at the same time

There is a 1.5 second delay between debuffs then only your debuffs iell deal damage

Right, you will only see one red number if you apply all three breaks within a 1.5 second window. Same issue with Medusa, for example. If you go M-M, you’ll only get credit for the first armor break.

Would magneto work for annhilus?

Thnx,..and yes i used iron heart for Adam and completion,..worked very well.

My last path left is the one I’m least confident about based on my roster. It’s the Cosmic/Skill Cassie path with the two 7* gate.

I see almost everybody recommend Serpent to carry this path, but I only have a 6* Ascended Serpent. Would he work?

Here is the team I was thinking of.

6* R5 Serpent - Ascended Sig 200
7* R2 Deathless Thanos - Unawakened
7* R3 Medusa - Awakened

Would an R3 Adam Warlock (Awakened) be better than my baby Deathless Thanos?

I would say serpent is still very useful even at 6 stars, he shuts down the annoying nodes on most fights

Avenger_A1

Anyone have the best science/tech Adam counter? Like will Howard work? I’m so lost I want to use a 7* champ but can’t figure out who

My r1 unduped Howard worked better than my r3 Ironheart. Ironheart started well, but for some weird reason was finding it hard to get three buffs (without soul barb) later. Howard took it way better.

Avenger_A1

Will Hawkeye's heavy work for Heimdal? He applies two slows, one on the first hit and one on the final hit. So his first slow should prevent the unstoppable from brace on the final hit?

I’ll also say my R2 Howard worked better for me than my R1 Ironheart. Nice and tanky in case you took a hit, and much easier to get 3 buffs up. Similarly, Knull was the superstar for my Cosmic/Tech run.

Avenger_A1

You mean Cosmic/Skill. Yeah, Knull was great. As was Venom.

Oakenshield

You mean Cosmic/Skill. Yeah, Knull was great. As was Venom.

Yes, my team was Knull, Venom, and Bullseye. They worked great.

Death by debuffs path is pretty easy.

I am planning this team
Ironheart, Ironman and silk
Nebula - ironheart
Northstar - ironheart
Photon and destroyer - silk
Adam - Ironman.
Aegon - idk who should I use here? Silk?

Should I switch sentry instead of Ironman for Adam? He could help at nebula as well.

Sentry can do most the path by himself. I used sentry, deathless shehulk and lady deathstrike.
