    This week turned out to be a little busier than I originally anticipated so I didn’t have much time to progress the challenge. I became Proven a little while ago, but I wasn’t able to become Uncollected before the Kingpin selector rolled around so he’s unfortunately stuck as a 4*. I’m sure I’ll feel the frustration of not having the 5* later in the challenge, but it is what it is. On the bright side, I got my first two 4*s today, so completion of Acts 4 and 5 should go much quicker now.

    The team is coming together though and when I get starky I make a move at cavalier

    I was talking with one of the guys in the alliance about this, but since you’re gonna be tackling Act 6, what’s your plan for the Healing Biohazard Sentinel? I’ve been looking at all of my champions and I don’t think there are any good options yet. Best I can think of is gamble with Kingpin but that seems risky and pretty expensive unit wise.

    I’ll have a look when I get there but it looks like it will be a bit of a revive dump for sure, otherwise I wait until I get a robot of some kind out of a selector or something.

    I don’t mind spending some revives here and there on key fights, that’s the way it’ll have to be at some points

    Red Guardian and Ghost will be very nice for the challenge, if it follows the same progression gates as the last few selectors it’ll be Uncollected for the 5* and Thronebreaker for the 6*

    It’s also possible that the “Classic champions” in between all the Thunderbolts might be another selector, in which case that’ll be even more free champs for the challenge

    And if I embark on this challenge, would anyone be interested in following the progress?

    Absolutely

    Very nice indeed! I just missed BWDO out of the calendar which I’m a bit sad about, but not missing these or Starky that’s for sure

    Ok I (Boo) got 6.1.1 down surprising easily but 612 is a roadblock with the bio/heal sentinel.

    I tried 4r5 IMIW, 50 hits took off about 5%, got a couple bleeds on me as no armour and died.

    Maybe ghost will do it but with no synergies could be tough to out damage regen.

    I’m gonna save my ascension for her anyway as she’ll be very valuable for further act 6 should I get past this quest.

    Red guardian is gonna be great too. Him and BWDO will be able to nuke a lot of fights.

    No idea what we can do about 6.2 sinister at this stage.

    Interesting, yes I am up to that sentinel quest, I haven’t really been pushing too hard right now until I get starky. For Sinister, maybe my she hulk can do something, as long as her passive furies count for the damage.

    Hoping my maxed 5s can take on sentinel, will give that a go today.

    well i guess wait for ghost she can shrug the poison and gets fury

    hope to get a cmm she is the only option and maybe with spring cleaning that will be possible

    There are tons of other options.

    I’ve been doing that too much, that’s why I haven’t even finished Act 4 yet. I’m going to have to make a push for Uncollected soon, though, since my Red Hulk and DDHK selectors are expiring and I’d really prefer to get the 5* versions and not the 4* ones.

    Just wait till @Toproller89 opens all his crystals
    He'll have a lot of champs

    This lunacy has me wondering what other progression challenges would be equally ridiculous but still actually achievable and thus possible to actually attempt.

    The only one I could think of was perma death. If at any point you die in a fight with a champ, that champ is permanently banned from being used in your roster. The question is not if it is possible, but how fast such a thing could be done. Anyone can curb stomp the content with a strong enough roster, and a sufficiently skilled player can take on hard content with a randomized low roster. But how fast could you do it knowing every death shrinks your roster permanently? How hard could you push?

    Anyone want to give that one a try?

    i may

    that’s a very interesting idea, I hope someone attempts it

    To be fair this challenge is brilliant for going outside. Barely do 15 mins a day as there’s nothing to do as got no champs.

    That’s very true, I just login, do daily super, maybe a quest or two and collect some crystals I can’t open, lol

    Apparently, Cantona is currently live streaming a Nuzlock challenge himself, because of course he is:

    I'm not sure what the precisely limitations are that he's operating under (I haven't watched all the streams yet), but I'm assuming some form of perma-death is in there somewhere.

    Wait, is this challenge like no crystals opened at all? Or just champ crystals?
