At the risk of posting a non Ascension thread, who are people using for the new Showcase?

Planning on running the new Showcase tomorrow or this weekend. Anyone get started on it yet? If so what champs are you having good luck with?

I completed the skill & tech quests. For Skill attackers I used Yelena, Black Cat, Zemo, Patriot & Night Thrasher. Yelena handled most of the path, but I did use Zemo for Void, Night Thrasher for Nefaria & Black Cat for Thing.

For the Tech quest I used OG Iron Man, The Maker & iDoom. Everyone else was just there are space filler.

Right side:

Also #1 tip cause some people in my alliance screwed this one up, do not use Zemo or Scorpion for Nico thinking you can outheal the dot or kill her before the dot kills you because even boosted my teammates couldn’t do it and they had to brute force it with revives.
Grab Solvarch, get to ten energize and just throw sp3 easiest fight ever:

As for Jean boss, make sure you have Bastion Maker and Solvarch ready or at the very least two of them cause no matter who you use it’s a 3-5 minute fight.

Thanks @ItsClobberinTime . Could Ironheart also work for the final Jean boss? I’ve got an R4 Solvarch I can bring - just wondering about some other options.

I used ironheart, but Jean was unstoppable most of the time, iheart works but you need to be patient, also enable the rupture mode because Jean has high energy resist

Use the Maker for Jean. Easy 1 shot.

Show the cheeze.

Vanitelia

Left side: I used Zemo for the first Lizard, Drac, Spidey, Leader. Then DPX for Yelena, Sentinel for Nico. Zemo for Modok, then Switched DPX out for Maker for Jean. The Nefaria/Zemo synergy is really nice to have (pauses roote with lights).

Right side: Zemo - Lizard, Drac, Spiderwoman, Modok, Bastion for Cassandra and Samurai. Maker for Britain. Maker for Jean. Nefaria for the synergy.

Sweet Jesus. I need some suggestions for my 2nd Jean run. I spent an obscene amount of Revs on that Fight because Captain Stubborn here committed once he started.

I went in with Kushala, Zola, Ttiania, and Sunspot. I ended up dummying it with Titania because I had little luck with Zola. I'm waiting a while before run 2, so suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Thanks @lucianxvs . I was thinking I might use her since she is R4 vs. my R3 Maker and Bastion, but based on what you said think I might just do Maker + Solvarch. Between the two of them she should be not bad.

I did the main showcase, my team was Okoye, Zemo, Yelena and Bastion. Then switched out Okoye for Maker before Jean. Okoye can actually handle most flights pretty well, even though she's not tagged.

I used Bastion there. An ally member used Zola and says he did good.

Okay, thanks. I was actually planning on taking Bastion to R4 anyway. I had no luck with Zola. Couldn't get the rhythm.

I trust you...so it's slow cheese. I was wrong, expecting boom boom ko type cheese.

Mint9aer0

Ironheart or pumpkin for Jean grey. I used Ironheart

Did the right path: Can't remember why I thought bringing in was a good idea Photon, but that was one wasted spot. Had Yondu, Prowler, and Bullseye.

Used Yondu on Lizard and Silver Samurai, Bullseye on Dracula (and he worked on Modok with 1-2 revives because of polka dot power), Prowler on Cassandra.

Spiderwoman and Captain Britain were revive fiestas for me. Would probably replace Photon with a counter.

Swapped in Ironheart for Jean. Slow fight and still took revives since I couldn't get the correct timings down, but it felt safe enough.

So what you're saying is I should be very thankful for my Ascended Zemo right about now yeah?

Any good counters for SW right side? Was thinking Shang-Chi to counter the evade and unstoppable, while purifying the Power Stings.

@Usagicassidy I managed to ascend my Zemo today also and was thinking the exact same thing when reading this one.
