Am I the only one that finds Elder's Bane harder than Cavalier?

Comments

It’s really roster dependent. Like, I have decent champs of each class (and sparky and some chunky 5/65s for the collector) so Elders Bane was easy for me, but I didn’t have any good immunes for CB and hardly a counter to any of the first two 6.1 quests, so Cav was much more costly for me. As my roster stands now 6.1 completion wouldn’t be too bad, but back then it definitely was.

Personally, I don’t feel it is harder, but it takes longer.

Harder, no. Longer, hell ya. It's a long grind.

The collector is harder than any of the other bosses for sure

Let’s assume someone just completed an initial run on act5. Now which one is easier to do? Get to clear six paths to Cavalier with a ~20% increase at difficulty or clear over 100 paths of act5 to get Elders Bane? If u have counters for some 6.1 annoying nodes (No Retreat is the king of them) and for the CB boss then Cavalier is easier and surely faster accomplishment.

I see some people commenting about the length and effort put into it. I really mean harder. Between the Rage paths, couple of Masochism paths, all of 5.2.4, all of the 50% attack reductions in 5.3 along with the Green Goblin boss, Hyperion boss, the final Ultron boss and of course, The Collector. I'm not even done exploring 5.4 yet and I already feel like it's harder than what I had to do in 6.1.

That's fair but the big difference is that for act 5 you can use 4*s so there's a lot more solutions you have to these problems than 6.1 which really depends on you having good counters to the big annoying opponents. And in act 5 if you mess up you can still make a comeback but you most definitely can't in act 6 due to the insanely high attack values.

Cavalier was something, mainly because of Crossbones. But Elder’s Bane is fairly easy, depending on the roster. having a R5 5* duped Corvus made it easy, save for a few challenges.

With my roster, I did find Act 5 exploration harder than 6.1, yeah.

Definitely roster dependent. But I can see why you say they too.

Did Crossbones with Luke Cage and Ghost Rider. Collector was straightforward by comparison.

Which is to say that my roster wasn’t set up for some of the Cav fights.

the easiest 6 paths you take gets you the same Cav title as the hardest. the easiest, hardest and all in-between paths are what net you Elder's Bane. Is the hardest chapter in all of Act 5 more difficult than the hardest path to 6.1.6 sentinel? There is no useful comparison between the two.

Reference

One is talking about exploration.
One is talking about completion.
Definitely Elder Bane, road blocks in 6.1 are just crossbone and sentinel and you just need to fight one time each in order to get the title.

6.1 doesn't really have insanely high attack values you can mess up and still comeback fine its later in act 6 where the attack values become ridiculous.
I was exploring some 6.1 earlier and even survived war machine sp3 and came back to win

guess you didn't try 6.2.2 sinister and 6.2.6 the champion

Those bosses have nothing to do with comparing getting cavalier and elders bane

But the context of discussion in this post is Act 5 exploration vs Act 6.1 completion.

This is a roster dependent thing. For me, cavalier will be harder to do because I don’t have a counter for the crossbones and sentinel as 5* and my 5 star roster isn’t very good. But, I do have counters to some of the very annoying act 5 fights as 4 stars, giving me more ease with exploring act 5. But I did have a 5* star bleed immune champion and a counter to sentinel, I would definitely find cavalier easier Simply due to the fact that it’s only 6 paths and I can take the easy path every time
