Epoch Cosmic/Skill Nebula Help

Kingering_King

I have reached my last Epoch path, the cosmic/skill Nebula path. I can only take the 3 7* gate too. I am wondering if I am overlooking someone that would be more beneficial than who I’m taking? I’m thinking that my team will be r2 Knull, r1 sable, and r1 venom.


Any help or advice is much appreciated!
Also, how many revives is estimated I will use? (I just killed ares in 4 revives in my 5th run.)

I’d take Aarkus over Venom personally. The fact that you can just dash back and forth to reinflict your coldsnap debuff while the opponent is armor broken means that you can deal damage pretty quickly, and the power gain buffs means that he can still take Adam. Realistically it won’t make too much a difference though, you should be using Knull for everything except Adam.

Don't know bout sable, how many debuffs can she apply? Bwdo is better for photon and destroyer, can easily solo both.

Aarkus is the best champ for that path. You can just dash back and dash in to take 4% of opponents health. He also cheeses adam.

Okay! Thanks!

He actually cheeses adam since the node's power transfer is counter as power steal, so aarkus only loses 10% of his power and can spam a hell lot of specials back to back.

Sable places plenty of debuffs, very similar to BWDO.
Sable is the best option for Northstar because she gains tracking on her SP1, so you can keep a pretty constant uptime on countering miss.

I'd go Aarkus, Sable and BWDO. If you had Odin, his pre-fights on Knull would work very well for Nebula and Adam, but Aarkus works well enough. Just gotta be careful on Nebula not to parry so you can keep your buffs and throw more SP3s to keep the flow of armor breaks going.

It’s a power drain actually, but same deal for Aarkus. I wouldn’t call him a cheese for Adam, since getting to spam specials doesn’t exactly let you deal a ton of damage or anything because of the nature of death by debuffs, but not losing your power constantly certainly helps a lot.

Does he easily take anyone else, or stick with knull for the knull fights?

He takes all 4 knull can take, even effectively. For destroyer and photon, use sable or widow

My suggestion is to take serpent, widow/sable and aarkus. Serpent helps for the boss since it's better to punch down ares with a r3 instead of a r1.

If I fully relied on aarkus though, would that be more or less revives then using knull? Or about the same?

Same because aarkus can solo nebula and adam, better than knull. Sable can take out northatar photon and destroyer (if she applies lots of debuffs like people say). Aegon can be done by anyone he's gonna be revive fest anyways.

Sable is much better than BWDO. Disorient is very helpful against Photon, tracking good for Northstar, etc. And once you’ve thrown a few sp1s, the opponent will pick up shocks just by moving around the stage.

I used Knull, Scream, and Sable for this path. Knull was great for nebula, sable did well on destroyer and Northstar, and scream could handle the rest.

Insightful… but no scream😉

I’d take knull, bwdo, and aarkus. Knull for nebula cause he has true strike on mediums. Then bwdo for everyone who can be shocked and aarkus for anyone annoying like Adam warlock.
