Epoch first run advice

JK_47

Planning on doing my first epoch run, the Cassie path
Going with serpent, bullseye and kate.

1.is this a good team or should I replace anyone?
2. Should I turn off my suicide/recoil masteries?
3. What's the best approach?

Turn off suicides for sure. It's long fights. And especially with Ares, since you'll degen anyway, suicides will hurt a lot.

Bullseye can take Cassie. Spam sp1 and you don't have to worry about evade or miss.

The path node requires you to dash back as the timer ends. Get a practice of that and you should be good to go.

Serpent is the best option you have for most of the path, including Cassie. Spam HIS sp1, not Bullseye’s. Serpents sp1 will turn off evade and miss completely.

If you were going to change something, ditch Kate and bring a 7* cosmic who’s poison immune for the toad fight. Even though Serpent can do it fine too.

Agreed. Although kate is better for iron Fist. I'll say, Dthanos, serpent and shang goat (for Heimdall) is optimal team

Why Shang Chi for Heimdall?

Any cosmic with poison immunity works. Hulkling medusa, cmm, there are many.

I did that path initial run with serpent, and while i did fine, i highly recommend doing nebula path first

Literally any rarity sentry clears the entire lane, ideally your highest rarity of course. It will be less costly on lane, and you can get a good feel for ares. Cassie lane may be very costly for an initial run, which can be discouraging when fighting ares. I know from experience.

Serp daddy gets a perm True Focus from any special, but dropping an L1 gets it up soonest. indefinite until you get hit, not with just L1 spam.

use all the tools you got, @JK_47, and good luck!

Yep, I was suggesting g sp1 spam to help him avoid the global power drain node.

It’s been said by others OP, but this lane is no joke. Either of the outside lanes are much more forgiving, IMO.
