6.2.6 Champion

Hi Kabam,
I know I'm not the first to write about this, and I'm sure I will not be the last. I've waited a long time to try 6.2.6, I've saved units, I've read, and watched videos. I'm a good enough player to get through the path and the first 90% of the Champions health. But that last 10% is impossible for me. I tried. No matter what I have, it doesn't work. Can't bait specials, or when I do, I can't dex away. It is an impossible hurdle for this player. And I now realize that this is the point where I can't progress further in the game. I can gain champs, I can help my alliance, but I can't move forward in the story. And that's frustrating. Frustrating enough that I'm considering setting the game aside after 6 years.
I know you dropped the charges from 5 to 3, and that may have helped some players. Not me. I don't mind hard fights, or ones where you have to chip away at a champ. But this fight is so different from that. Its not skill, or experience, but a specific set of moves that you have to get perfectly correct or you're crushed. That blocks so much of your player base from moving forward.
Maybe time to move on,

@chaserobert12 It is a skill based fight and the more experience you gain, the easier it becomes. But, it is no means an easy fight that you can revive your way through. Practice duels every day. Or rank up someone like Thing or dragon man for that fight to cheese it. There are many videos of that in youtube. Sharing your roster in the forums can also help.
Wait wut o_O
More ot, it’s nowhere near necessary anymore to get the evades on the sp’s down to perfection: use a high block proficiency champ, boost up (green & red ones) and just take some hits into your block & dex the final part of the sp (with the sp1 it’s the headbutt iirc), rinse & repeat 3 times, use sp, 👋 champion.
I am curious though, if you’ve been playing this game for 6 years......what were your thoughts on the infinity Thanos boss challenges?
@chaserobert12 you gotta practice in those duels. Dashing in and dexing the last headbutt could be a tactic as it’s almost impossible not to get the dex if you don’t get hit as spacing isn’t an issue. You can, in duels, get him in the corner and heavy attack him to bait special (rather than dexing to bait) then when you attempt the dex in his special you can verify it worked by gaining the precision buff. Use shehulk to practice the timings as her heavy will stop him going unstoppable and her furies taunt his specials making it all pretty easy.
Sorry, but the sentence is very contradictory to itself. You say it is not based on skill. But follow by explaining that you have to do something perfectly. That IS a skill. It is just a skill you are not good enough at yet.
I understand it can be frustrating if you cannot move on because of a single boss. But if you duel enough Champions and practise their specials it is not THAT hard. Take a very high block prof champion and just let yourself get hit (while blocked) on the first part of the special. And dex the very last hit.
I did it that way back when he hit way harder, and had 5 charges. With the heimdall synergy I was able to do it.
And trust me. If I can do it, any player can learn how to. Because I am far from an elite player.
I believe in you, and you will be a better player for it. Just keep practicing.
Ultimately, if you find the timing difficult, take a champ with high block proficiency and practice dodging the last hit of sp1. Save your sp3 for when the charges are gone and - *boom* - the fight's over. I read/watched a ton of tutorials before even trying the fight and it still took a fair few *ahem* "practice" revives.
You'll get it, no worries.
if you don’t have cap iw or other high block proficiency champs. go on youtube and watch youtubers’ champion fight, pause the video, observe the spacing between your champ and champion. take a ruler, measure it. practice duels and make sure you space yourself away at the same length. you can also draw lines on your phone. so when you dex back at the start of the combo, you should be at the right place during the last hit of the combo for you to remove the charges
The focus is to reply to OP that this fight need skill.
Oh lol I meant I couldn't do it with 5 charges. Dang typo
After nerf, the attack and block penetration reduction, have made the fight much easier.
While exploring, I tried many different champs to do the fight.
SS works exceptionally good, and despite I run 0/5 mystic dispersion, I soloed the fight three times with my last attempt on prove yourself node ended at 83% health.
Three charges aren’t a lot really. Just hold block and dex out the header if you are not good at creating the appropriate space to dex his sp1 without blocking.
Though, despite the fact now is not hard, many people can still road blocked.
Making an easy path with no intestructible charges, might be a good change, to avoid banning non skilled players from further story progression.
At least if someone is not skilled enough, would still be able to get around the completion, by buying his way through.
In my opinion, this wouldn’t discourage these players and make them quit 🙂
