Seeds of doubt – relics required for next progression level?

in Strategy and Tips
It was Sep 2022. The future of Power Progression in MCOC was announced.

Battlecasts, the first type of relic introduced, allow summoning a Striker during combat.
Some nearly three years on, I have only six in total and still missing a mystic class.






Do I really have to open the 4-Star relic crystal which I have tucked away diligently to have a fighting chance against the next Ouroboros champ, the self-styled Forge Master of all that sought to rid the Battlerealm of its cosmic dictators?




Heat Wave. This year’s summer sale runs from July 27 and ends July 7.

It is a possibility I can just reach the required three T4A for a second R3 and overcome the boss of Act 8.3, Cerastes, in the middle of the classic summer sale.

Does that mean I get access to the offers of the next progression tier?

Plot
After Bahamet was bested, Doctor Strange appeared in an astral projection, with questions on Glykhan’s claim. Was Carina withholding information which could have world reshaping ramifications? Refusing to return to the Council chambers, Carina with Guillotine seeks out the help of a “friend” …

    Stuck and don't what to do.

    While looking for guides on this fight, I noticed there was a change made on the path opponent. There was Infamous Iron Man after Hyperion while in this recording it was Red Skull.


    Armed with deep knowledge on secrets of the Cosmic Cube, this leader of Hydra was seemingly deemed too powerful after his buff and had to be swapped out.



    Many guides recommended buff heavy champs, and pairing it with Odin’s prefight abilities. Looking at the champs I have, that does not look viable especially with (albeit my self limitation on not wanting to use 4-Star battlecast (relic)), having only one Cosmic relic.

    That forced me to rely on this team, Photon, Spider-Ham, Hit-Monkey, Hulkling, Ebony (excellent against the final champ before the boss). Guardian took Ebony’s spot in the final fight.

    Obviously there was no solo and all my champs were knocked out just as the fight goes into Phase 4. I did not manage to intercept to move to the last phase. On reviving again and entering fight, I cannot see any Unstoppable icon nor any timer.
    Was there a glitch or bug? I don't see this in my game.


    I should have used this image on the second post when asking for clarification.



    After some tries, somehow, that light hit connected and Cerates is down. MVP? Hit-Monkey and Guardian. :D:D

    Act completion exploration pack cost.

    I obtained an 8th battlecast before fighting the boss but is was a tech duplicate. To compensate, I took Hulking to R5 but on hindsight, it may just be a placebo effect.

    Of all the guides I looked at, this by MCOC Noob, gives a very good understanding on approaching the battle.

    I used mainly method #2.

    To wrap-up on each round boss take-down.

    Round 1


    Round 2
    I used the perfect counter (I think) but it was revive and revive and more revives, basically a war of attrition. :s


    Round 3


    Round 4
    Thing does not have his sig ability, so it makes this brawl a little easier.


    Round 5





    I need nine days to form the last alpha catalyst required for a second R3 champ.
    Looking at last year's summer sale, there was nothing in Tier 1 purchase to speed that up.


    Meanwhile, it is decision on which champ goes up. With a certain malevolent psychic entity running rampant in BGs, does younger Summers edged it?

    The current Valiant Speedrun record is some 3 days 8 hours and 12 minutes. More on it later.

    While this was happening, another phenomenon took place in the Battlerealm. The stars orbiting it was aligning.

    Season 58 of Alliance War drop with a bomb. A new format and Solo Event which gave a 7-Star class R1-2 gem plus 25% of a T4A.

    Shortly back-to-back, two offers popped, the Paragon Class Catalyst Bundle and Alpha Basic Catalyst Bundle.

    Even so, I was still relying on DSE, Trophy Tokes, Glory and trickles of T4A fragments from the Side Quests. Will I be able to form that one last T4A before the summer sale ends?

    And then, it happened. Heat Wave dropped and Tier 2 gives 3 whole T4A.


    The road to Valiant reached its completion.
    It had taken eight long years,



    and just in time for Valiant login calendar on 1 July. :)

    Icing on the cake.
    This spawned again.
