PSA: Get V2 Done Before YJ Buff in February

With Yellow Jacket on his way to a (much needed and appreciated) rework in February, I wanted to alert as many people as possible to the fact that V2 is going to get *substantially* more difficult with a new Yellow Jacket. You fight him approximately eighty-seven-thousand times over the course of exploration, so you’ll save yourself a lot of heartache if you can get it done before February. Shoutout to Kabam John for mentioning this on Seatin’s V6 stream, you’re the real hero

Or just never do it

Or just never do it

A strong choice, but the most difficult choices require the strongest wills.

Kill_Grey

Damn, gonna have to roll with my Quake, AA, Hype, hulkbuster and suicides+dpxf/Nick synergy.

That synergy lets you bring a 6th champ? Dang, DPXF actually has a use.

SpideyFunko

welp I’m screwed

He has 2.

1. He completes omega

2. The suicide synergy

Lol, I'll rotate the important attackers as I can. The problematic path I've seen so far is the improved power gain ones.

I’ll have a crack at it soon, what are the best champs to bring for V2?

Fluffy_paws

Gonna push for completion. I'll come back for exploration never.

Been a while since I did it, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
Generally, the champions that benefit from the quest nodes are very useful and fun. I especially enjoyed Dormammu having essentially 100% indestructible/unstoppable uptime.
Cap IW was very useful as well, as he could parry/heavy his way through pretty much everything. I used him for that dodgy adaptoid boss, although there were probably better options available.
A LOT of people love the Domino trinity for it. I personally did not have Domino at the time, so I can’t speak to that. But I’m sure it works very nicely. Also, quake.
A bunch of XL champions have come out since V2 was released and when I did it, so there are plenty of new toys to bring to the party. Additionally, Kingpin is due for a buff in February alongside Yellow Jacket, and he is an XL champ. So if you do end up stuck with new YJ, you’ll at least have another (hopefully) viable option.

Which XL champions benefit? I don't know about the tags too much but I have people like cull (Guardian synergy) VTD , Thing etc which I assume are XL or close to XL?

Each quest has it’s own champion specific nodes, you’ll have to go in and check them out.
