Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch

We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

How hard was 5.2.4 for you the first time?

Looking back at 5.2.4 for some reason it was the hardest quest I’ve ever done. The node isn’t even hard, the defenders weren’t hard, my champions were developed well, and I had pretty good skill but for some reason it took me forever to complete.

How hard was it for you your first time around?

    Honestly it's only been like 2-3 months since I did it, but it doesn't seem too bad in theory now. I think adjusting to longer fights was the hardest part about it, because aside from not being able to parry reliably and the regen, it isn't that big of a deal.

    I still fear 5.2.4, irrational as that is. Didn't have any of the good counters, so I tilted and brute-forced it with my heaviest hitters and revives.

    That one quest completion cost me more resources than all other act 5 completions, combined. Granted that was partly because I tilted.

    For reference, I think I did it with mostly 4r4s.

    Hated it. Was the biggest challenge with becoming uncollected for me. Had no decent counters. I remember watching YouTube guides and no one did it with the champs I had. Worse was when you were on a good run and then got ambushed by Cable.. quit, try again. Dunno how many times I attempted it but was at least a month before I finally did it.

    Mid to easy difficulty, to be honest, and back when I did it (completed and explored at once) I had only 5/50 and 4/40 champs, not any 5* r4 champs or even at r3 that were usable.
    The pain in story quests comes at 6.2 😉

    After seeing forum posts and YT videos I thought it was gonna be super hard, but my Magik (4* r5) carried me through the whole quest.

    Not heart wrenchinly hard, looking at it now I would say it was okay and balanced and fun, haven't gone back in since becoming uncollected tho, but am sure it'll be a breeze now with my current roster

    It was a little more difficult, but I didn't go crazy over it.

    I did have to do the quest about 3 or 4 times before finally completing it.
    Back then I used my r4 5* venom and brought a synergy team of all unranked champs to boost his health, and where possible attack. I did this strategy for every quest that had bane to live longer and to do more damage to the enemy.
    That was basically how I did 5.2.4, 5.2.5 and 5.2.6
    This was about 2 months after his buff.

    I struggled more with 5.2.4 than with 5.2.5 and 5.2.6 combined. Not sure what it was, but it took me forever to do it without having to waste a bunch of health and revives, which I was saving for the next two.

    Then, 5.2.5 needed two individual revives and a handful of health. 5.2.6 needed two team revives to get through the Collector. That was it. Felt like a putz for being so worried about the last two and hoarding resources so tightly.

    Crushed it with a r4 5*, if i recall it really was not bad at all, CG did most of the work all the way to my cavalier run.

    Didn’t find it hard on my first try. I still don’t know about intercept that time so I just fought aggressively to overdamage the heal from masochism after parrying. I took the straight path. Didn’t have any issues.

    That was July of last year. 4* Thing was my MVP.

    Honestly it felt like I was trying to beat abyss collector with a 1* Miles Morales even though I literally had a 5* R4 Sunspot and Aegon but idk, I guess I'm just bad
