    Wait so if a cav player beats all of the bosses, they'll only be able to reach milestone 6?

    I'm happy with that, for me specifically that's Actually Better than the Single Full T5CC Selector.
    Because with the 3 25% Selectors I can form a T5 Mutant And a T5 Skill, with the existing Fragments I already have.

    I have a feeling at least a few other Cavs with be in the same position, where we got a Lot of Fragments for 2 Specific Classes but still not enough to form either until now.

    I think kabam should add the warning like with the gauntlet, so ppl should stop whinning a challenge quest is hard for them.

    Is the class nexus crystal selector 3 champions or 10 champions?
  • Laksh1995Laksh1995 Member Posts: 213

    Is this event a joke ???
    So Kabam put the Cavaliers at the same level of difficulty as the Thronebreakers even if they do not have a 6r3. And for this event a 6r3 helps a lot.
    That is not fair: it is the Thronebreakers that ask for more harder challenges. Most of the Cavaliers do not even have completed the act 6.
    Always against the Cavaliers...

    Dude in another world , i am cav and i am completely ok with it

    The node is called Invade. Has nothing to do with block proficiency. 300% increased attack while hitting into the block. Guess what, the attack can do that to the defender as well. Git gud.
    That is just a ridiculous comparison. I obviously read the node. How can u compare a 119k PI to a 11k PI?

    3 champions. Abyss selector is the only one with 10 champs.

    Yeah that 75% selector and class nexus is awful for a Cav /s

    You can pretty much choose your own TB rank up, that’s insane for cavs.
    Lol I'm not complaining. I'm almost TB already and the rewards are insane, agreed but I don't think I'll personally be able to do all the fights imho. Just asked for confirmation.

    I can't learn intercepting in a week. There's life outside game. The pressure that comes with this penetration is too much.
    I'm no She Hulk expert, at all. But when I saw this fight I immediately thought of her. And went in without watching videos as I often like to do, to get the raw, fresh experience of the encounter without outside suggestion. I had like 20 failed attempts before I got a solo. I ended up changing my strategy midway through these attempts. Instead of trying to heavy spam in the corner, I realized Rogues Aggressive node makes her more susceptible to stand up intercepts. Having now watched a few videos, I see that is definitely the case. The second time I went in (strictly for practice as I'd already completed it) it took about 7-8 attempts to solo. I may still go in some more to further sharpen my SheHulk game before it's over. Not for the rewards, cause I already have them. But because I want to add her to the list of champs that I am good at playing.

    Do I probably have a better knowledge of the combat mechanics in this game to work off of? Sure, I've been playing for longer, presumably. But, how do you know if you can't get better at this fight in a week without trying? Maybe you can. Whether or not you learn to successfully do this fight in a week isn't necessarily the main point. The point is you can't have it both ways. You can't claim you are unwilling or too busy to practice something, but then be disappointed if you can't successfully complete it. This kind of holds true for many things in life, in general.

    This event is an amazing opportunity for cavs to get some extra 6* shards. The real difficulty starts after week 4 so that's like 15K 6 star shards if you do the previous weeks.

    PI is a fairly useless number, all things considered. I ignore it completely going into fights.

    Way back in the day when a lot of us endgamers started playing, it took a long time to even unlock parry and dexterity. It wasn’t even immediately apparent that they were things you needed. Learning to spot openings was a day one thing. It baffles me that a Cavalier player can say with a straight face that intercepting is too hard.

    I... I just gave a “kids these days have it too easy” speech. Am I old now? I hate this.
    Do consider that we all start somewhere. You did not wake up and mastered intercepting. It probably took you years. So do not judge. I am one year and 7 months playing this game and intercepting is still hard for me. And yes you are right by saying back in the day. Now is not back in the day....

    I thought that was the entire advertising campaign for this since it's conception, but looking back at the release notes this month, I can see why you might have a point.

    I just always knew what it was so maybe that's the difference in where some newly and progressing cav players are coming from.
    I mean they clearly use white text to decribe that and i didn't see anyone complaint about it, tho i must say that some ppl still don't understand what is hard challenge or where are they stand in game.

    I could see them throwing in the Aegon boss from when he released, that was a pain if you didn’t stop that combo meter ticking up with ability accuracy reduction quickly

    I remember that one, had to restart that quest so many times before I finally figured out how to sort of use Magik & powerlock for the entire fight (iirc).

    Nameless (unblockable) Guillotine is another that comes to mind.

    Everybody seems to be forgetting that this isn’t a new fight. Kabam didn’t just dream this up for SoP, it was originally a part of a celebrity gauntlet style event a few years back with the release of the Captain Marvel movie. You had to fight THIS SAME ROGUE SIX TIMES in one quest. They may have increased her health pool a bit, but that’s all.

    This was before 6* r3 was even a thing, let alone the Thronebreaker title. Since then, tons of new champions who can handle this fight have been released.

    I literally just facetanked the whole fight with Dragon Man just to see that I could. It was super easy. I used my 6* r2, but could have just as easily used a 5/65. It took a little while, but it wasn’t bad at all.

    So yes, Cavalier players with 5/65 champions can do it. Because that’s who did it the first time around.
    Yeah I recognised this rogue, I remember it being a pain then, if it’s the challenge I’m thinking of I used majority 4*s as well to slog through as my 5* roster was still pretty poor

    It takes years for some and months for others. If you don't wanna invest the time, the "years" into perfecting your skills, then that's your problem.

    4 star corvus was the star, he gained two missions and decimated rouge

    Might be a silly question.. but is the first milestone only accessible if you’re part of an alli?

    I don't think so, maybe a typo. It's a "solo" objective, after all.

    You get points for completing fights and completing objectives. There aren't any objectives yet.
