I died in incursions on a 4* run. Thoughts on what could have been done?

I was fighting a Gorr boss on zone 12. He had the nodes below. I couldn't dash back, as the caltrops would KO me. I couldn't gain power normally because of the node. I couldn't keep my buffs (and thus damage) up because tranquility. Thoughts? I really wanted a perfect run, but I ended up reviving twice on my run due to him. I didn't see any champs that would have worked to swap out. I do have virtually all masteries unlocked, and wouldn't have minded changing them for just one fight. Thoughts?

4* Heimdell was hitting harder than some 7*. IW was trickier than I originally thought she'd be with the nodes. Here's the vid of zone 15. No need to sub though. Just for personally recordkeeping.

Runs already done. I can normally find an answer for anything, but this one I wasn't sure about. I honestly didn't even know if I could have revives through it, but did come up with a plan that worked. But would have liked it to be itemless instead of two revives for a 4* run.

It was funny the second hit of Heimdall's sp2 landed because invisible woman blocked at 6:19.

Is there any

Yeh, I didn't remember that Heimdell 's true sense hack stops evade and not miss. That messed me up. Also, realized just now he's only sig one. The indestructible extra time actually would have saved me one revive if he was max sig most likely on the Gorr fight.

Your comment also didn't finish because of the forums wonderful quirks.

Rough fight for sure. Obviously there’s answers if you weren’t tying your hands behind your back by using 4*s only, but with just 4*s even outdamaging Gorr’s base Regen becomes an issue.

I wannna say that if there was any real shot at a solo, I think it’d be max sig Kushala. Bleed Immune, gains Power through Polka Dot Power through her Passive Power Gain, and most importantly, she has a counter to his Regen. Sig ability gives her Despair+ that can reverse the Regen if you stack enough Damaging Passives, which will also not be removed by Tranquility.

Of course there’s a lot of problems that would make the fight difficult. For example, you probably can’t safely block a lot with a 4* in high floor Incursions, and landing Heavies will also be difficult, so you’re gonna struggle to maintain Blessings, and you want those Blessings for the increased chance to inflict Damaging Passives that can’t be removed by Tranquility instead of regular Debuffs. The Regen reversal also won’t get significant until Gorr takes heavy damage, so until then you’re mostly relying on a base 4*’s damage, even if that 4* is Kushala with Incursions Hacks. But I don’t see anything else that even gets remotely close to a solo.

Still though, congrats on the 4* run. Hell of an achievement even if it wasn’t literally itemless; we get enough forum posts to know a lot of people can’t do itemless runs with full rosters, and 2 revives is still basically nothing given the handicap.

How about kushala?

Passive powergain works even in old polka node.

I see its answered in previous comment.

The gorr in wheel of fate is good place to practice. I used kushala for it too

Yeh, I think Kush would have been the answer. What I ended up doing was parrying for my life, letting him hit me when second chance activated to gain massive furies, then getting a poison on to hold my indestructible buff (so I wouldn't die), and just last as long as possible until tranquility arrived.

Some champions can cause attacks to miss into block, but some don't. I was wondering if there is any reason
