Do I have the roster to go Cavalier?

I want to get Cavalier in the near future because of the "road to Cavalier" stuff that will be happening soon. If it is not clear from the images, I currently have 3 r4 5 stars, Cap IW, Blade, and Colossus, 1 r1 level 25 6 star, Hawkeye, and 2 3/45 5 stars, Medusa and Emma Frost. My next rankup is going to be Medusa to rank 4 because I saw that there were a lot of robot bosses in 6.1. Do I have strong enough champions to go cavalier? I feel like I have a lot of duds especially because my last few pulls have been absolutely horrible, but to be fair, I have also pulled some great champs. I am considering taking Iceman, Emma Frost, or Doc Ock as my last rank 4 before attempting to go Cavalier. By the way, is Iceman still relevant in 2020? He's an awesome champ and all but I feel like people have said his damage is outdated, which I partially agree with, although he can detonate some BIG coldsnaps off his heavy attack. What is the best team I have and are there any rankups that you think I should make? As you can see, I have quite a lot of units. Is it enough or should I save up some more units? Thank you for any and all advice.

Yes, Colossus for Xbones, and Medusa for Sentinel.

If you can, R4 Colossus to make that fight easier.

However, if you have trouble in the first few fights, then you might not have the skill needed, and need to R4 more champs.

My Colossus is currently r4. I'm contemplating taking him to rank 5. Do you think it would be a good idea @SparkAlot ? Or should I wait till I get him awakened?

You have the roster. But as @SparkAlot implies, Act 6 also takes skills an Uncollected player might not necessarily have. In particular, Act 6 has new nodes like No Retreat you may not have seen before unless you've done high tier Incursions, say. These take practice. You could spend your way past them, but this is not recommended unless you're made of money. Just like RoL, you might want to dip your toes into 6.1.1 and see how it goes, maybe start practicing dealing with No Retreat.

It is like learning to deal with Bane in Act 5. The first time you run into that node it can seem like it is impossible to fight with that node up. After a while, it becomes second nature and just an annoyance. Most of the nodes in Act 6, especially 6.1, are like that.

Alright thanks for the response! I will practice in 6.1.1 against the No Retreat node to see how I do to minimize the amount I have to spend. It's great to know I have the roster. Who would you recommend I rank up after Medusa?

Agent_X_zzz

Yep u can r3 Medusa can do the Ultron and Sentinel while Colossus can do the Xbones

It's gonna be tough... really though farm rol for a while for potions and get that colossus up to r4 asap... good luck!

R5 Colossus is definitely a good idea in general, OP. I have him as R5 on both my accounts (he was one of the first on my second account due to his immense versatility since his buff).

I personally advice you to not to get cavalier just for sake of cavalier difficulty. You don't have roster to beat 6.1 without items and you certainly wouldn't be able to beat cavalier difficulty without items as well. Work on your roster, quests aren't going anywhere.

Skill is a better question. 6.1 is doable with r4 5* champs. But it will require patience and skill.
You pretty much need to be able to run a 5.4 path without revives. If you can. You are good to go. Or use your unitman to get it.

Really? 6957 is R4? Huh, didn't know that, seems really low.

He is VERY useful in lots of situations, and will make the Xbones fight go much better, and also other content.

How may sigs is Beardo?
For me, Beardo was very valuable in lots of fights in act 6, but I don't have a Colossus.

The biggest blockers in Act 6.1 are the Xbones fight & Sentinel boss in the final chapter for most people.

I would watch some vids like from Professor Skill Act 6.1 Easiest path ones to get an idea on what you will face.

The main reason I would push to get this done is if you want the best July 4th deals, otherwise, no real rush to do it.

Oh cool, I plan to r5 him. Does he need the awakening to be r5ed tho?

How come do I not have the roster? Are my champs not good enough or just not upgraded highly enough?

Weirdly enough, my champs have really low PI. Idk why. My Beardo has like 70 sigs, I pretty much put all the sigs I get into him. Thanks for the vids, I'll make sure to watch em. Now that I think about it, you're right, I should probably wait it out for more potions before making a push because I'm not in a rush for the July 4th deals.

I would say your good to go for Cav. As many have mentioned; Collosus is a great counter for Crossbones, and Medusa for Sentinel. I can say you might have to spend a few revs on Ultron but other then that you'll be fine I would say.

I recently became cavalier, I saved up the 4 hour crystals, didn’t cost me any units. I bought 10 cavalier crystals, despite all the warnings, I saw it as a celebration. Duped my 5* Yondu, yay. I probably would have been better off buying 50 revives and plough through the variants.

Anyway, I had one rank 5 domino, others ranks 4: Cull, Killmonger, Void and Warlock. I boosted 20% champion, 15% attack and 20% health.

I consider myself an average player, but it wasn’t too much trouble. Yes crossbones was tough and there was another one, but I already forgot.

Just give it a try, see how it feels, when you feel the frustration building up, just back out, save those 4 hour crystals and try again a month or two later. The first time I tried to do 6.1, it seemed impossible to me, I guess that was about a half year ago.

I tried another 2/3 times up till last weekend and suddenly I was able to do it and I had a lot of fun.

Looking at your roster I would pick Capiw, blade, medusa and colossus. Hawkeye would probably be my number 5. Your main champ would be capiw, take advantage of modok and get those sig stones, Cap is brutality good max sig.

Good luck

Great advice @FeroX_the_fat_hering . I did exactly the same. Had one 5/65 (Omega) and saved over 400 4 hour crystals.... It is worth it. Better progression rewards and better calendar.

I'd pick the same team, cap, blade, Hawkeye, Medusa, Colossus and Hawkeye. Assuming you don't run suicides, they all benefit from sp1 or sp2 use too.

One last thing, are you in an alliance? If you hit 20m score at least every 8 days, you can get a t5b a month, almost, and a 5/65 makes clearing the lanes so much easier.

I've a long post on my journey to getting cavalier under my profile if you are interested @KDSuperFlash10 ... At the end of this....
