    I think completion is worth it because completion is easy but I don’t think exploration is worth the effort until your roster is mad stacked

    Depends on your skill level and point in the game... At the time I 100% it I was still working with r4 5* so really just depends on what you need but imo I think it's still worth it if progressing rather than all content finished like myself

    Idk, it may be easier now but it was a major pain for me back in the day and I regret the compulsion I had that made me explore the dammed thing.

    If you have the team for it it is. Duped Thing has made chapter 3 really easy for me. Chapter 1 wasn't too bad. Chapter 2 will still have a few painful spots, but Sorcerer Supreme has helped and I'm almost done. Did the other Variants 100% and have come back to Variant 1 recently. At the time I did the initial clear it would've been expensive to explore but it's not bad now.

    Variant 1 requires a beefy roster. There is a reason most of players didn't liked Act 6 chapter 2.

    I believe if you have completed act 6,labrynth and explored V4,V3 AND V2 and you not to much content left then explore Variant 1.

    Doing exploration now. I can always use a r5 gem and the sig stones.
    At this point (using only 4/55 and 5/65) it’s not not easy but there are a bunch of lanes easy enough to do without items or formerly horrible fights now with decent counters.

    already know how to crochet, so the second option is invalid

    It’s worth doing if you’ve already got everything else done.
    The rewards are still very good, but certainly Ch2 and 3 are up there with the worst that Act 6 has to offer.

    No, personally don't think it's worth the effort. Done an initial clear and I will leave it at that.

    if you're bored and have a decently sized roster, its probably worth it

    At the time it was. But it's still the hardest of all variants and therefore has the worst rewards. Only do if you've done everything else

    It’s worth doing eventually, I’m only just starting on exploration and only then because I don’t have Aegon for abyss run or LoL exploration.

    If you have a plethora or champs. Yes. But you gotta have a definitive counter to the BS in that variant and it’s a lot lol.

    yes. V1 is the hardest of them all. but don't let how easy the others are in comparison misconstrue the value of those rewards. It takes longer to complete because you need to wait for specific counters or a larger unit stash. Just be patient, and when you get those counters, it's not that bad.

    Compare it to LoL. Rewards are pretty outdated for the amount of work you need to put into one path, but eventually, it gets easier as you progress with natural counters. For just shy of 2500 units of items, I 100% LoL. all the t4CC, 5 or 6 5*s, awakening gems....decent.

    One of the top reason that I want to 100% explore it is the 2015 rank up Gem.

    Hopefully I could get Mutant class for Colossus or Magneto 🌝

    PS: I got Three Mystic 2015 rank up Gem from Variant #2, then I used one for my Magik. Now I don’t know who else is worthy to have the rest two Gems😂😂😂😂 The 2015 Mystic Champs are so mediocre (except Magik) at least at this moment...

    PPS: I do agree that Variant #1 is a sort of pain, I highly suggest to bring following champs to explore Variant #1 in my opinion:
    Chapter 1 (Skill/Mutant): Blade (Awakened), Nick Fury, Archangel (Awakened)
    Chapter 2 (Mystic/Tech): Ghost+Hood, Warlock+Magik, Stark Spidey, Dr. Octopus, Symbiote Supreme
    Chapter 3 (Science/Cosmic): Corvus (Awakened), Medusa, Thing, Hulk (Ragnarok), Void (Awakened), Red Guardian

    I would add
    Chapter 1: Havok, Colossus, Aegon
    Chapter 2: Doom
    Chapter 3: CapIW, Quake, CMM

    Some combination of these should get it done

    I'm currently on 2.3 and have no motivation to do it tonight. Literally taken me 30 minutes to get through 2.2. Only thing keeping me going is I know 3.1-3.3 is going to be a breeze with thing and synergies.

    When I did my initial run I had 0 5/65 champions, now I got 10 5/65, so I decided to push this quest before V5 arrives. I started exploration 3 days ago, I'm in 2.1. Chapter 1 was surprising easy for me, only used 4 revives in total, but chapter 2 has been a pain since I only have 1 5/65 mystic and 0 tech, so for all fights I use the same champ (doom) and the other spots are only for synergies.

    Rewards are nice for me, especially AG and r4-r5 gem. After chapter 1 exploration I got a tech 2015 gem for my HB, so I'm pretty happy with it.

    This variant is hard, so if you don't a beefy roster or tons of revives, don't waste items and units. I explored V2-V4 long time ago and I was waiting feel ready for V1

    If you have a big enough roster with counters go ahead and do it, if you dont have the biggest roster hold off for now its permanent content and does not need to be a priority
