Looking for Act 5 Chapter 2 advice

I had been progressing through Act 5 without too much trouble, but now that I've hit 5.2.3 it's like I'm up against a brick wall. I get part of the way through, but always end up needing revives/health to make it through.
I'm looking for some friendly advice:
My goal is to run through Act 5 Chapter 2 once to become Uncollected. Any guidance on how to get through these last 4 parts of the chapter would be greatly appreciated.
I'm looking for some friendly advice:
- Which path in 5.2.3 is the easiest?
- What team should I bring (see screenshot below)?
- Did you personally have to use resources to revive/restore health or were you able to complete it without?
- How much more difficult are 5.2.4, 5.2.5, and 5.2.6 relative to 5.2.3?

5.2.4 is like 5.2.3 but in reverse. Rely on AA to run through them, for the heal block, or use Guillotine for heal reversal. You've got a good team for both maps. For the Masochism map use Thor; you'll still be able to parry, which is good. They're both somewhat difficult but i only needed 2 or so revives on both. You need a bleed immune for one of them (forget which) as the boss has caltrops. As for the easiest paths, I used Seatin's guide on YouTube
5.2.5 is really easy, as long as you figure out how to fight bane. I found going down the right, on the Arc Overload path, easiest, as AA makes cakework of the nodes and defenders.
5.2.6 is similarly easy at first; I used Seatin's guide for this path as well. bring a bleed immune for Yondu and you should be fine. When you get to the Collector...well, say goodbye to your revives. I had to use maybe 6-7 L2 Team Revives and 2-4 individual L2 Team revives. Using a duped Hulk will save you $$$ on revives, & using Daredevil will help you evade those specials.
Quake's also good for Bane; if you never hit them you never start the timer. So I'd suggest CW-AA-Thor-SL-and one of your choice for 5.2.3&4. For 5.2.5&6, use Quake-AA-SL-DD-and duped hulk if you have him.
Good luck!
FYI, here's the next row of champs:
Thanks! This is what I was hoping to hear.
Mind you it was December when I became uncollected so don't remember for sure but I mean the point of an ambush is to surprise you and so it wouldn't make sense to have an ambush to happen at the same spot everytime cause then there would be notes about be ready for this ambush on seatin or someone else's notes
I totally get that; I was more looking for insight on the likelihood of being ambushed and the champs that might appear in an ambush, since I didn't come across an Act 5 Chapter 2 guide that included ambush rates/tips for 5.2.4 (honestly, maybe I just haven't dug deep enough into it). I recall past quests that involved ambushes by adaptoids, Moon Knight, and a variety of other champs, each seemingly programmed differently, so forgive me with not being familiar with the programming of 5.2.4!
Even knowing that the chance of ambush is low, from others' experiences, helps in planning to make another run for it, in that if I'm faced with a difficult champ, I know it might be better to back out and try again later rather than wasting resources. This is all I was looking for--I already understand the definition of the word.
Thanks! That helps, and my apologies too if I came off as being defensive without reason.
Congrats on becoming Uncollected and hopefully I'll be there soon!
5.2.4 is probably the hardest one of the lot, but is manageable if you're patient. It also helps to grind a bit through arenas to stockpile some units so you don't have to back out if you get KOd.
Good luck at collector
I remember needing to take a couple of weeks to rebuild the resources before continuing on after that one, but do take comfort in knowing the only major resource drain left is the Collector himself. IIRC, it took me about a month to get through 5.2 because I needed to stockpile the resources again.
You're almost there, and once complete you will say it was worth it.
Everytime I did a lane in 5.2.4 I was ambushed by both electro and yj. I’m 100% done all of act 5 now but back when I was doing 5.2.4 those ambushes were hard.
lol, Quake is actually about 70 points higher than mine. Granted, mine is only sig 20.
My AA is also 6225 (sig 80)...
AA is one of my more recently acquired champs. Despite not having a huge stash of mutant signature stones, I decided to use an awakening gem on him, so his sig level is still pretty low (21).
Sigs don’t always add a lot to PI. I have several of the same champions you do, and mine are a lot higher in PI. It’s just something to look at. PI doesn’t mean everything.
