I was doing so well in Act 4 until I reached chapter 4. It's just too difficult, and there are no wow rewards. It's like a obligation, cause I gotta do it to progress, but I can't, im stuck. I have 4* Doctor Doom, 5* Iron Man Infinity War, 4* Domino, 4* Squirrel Girl and 5* Corvus. Pease make it easier or make rewards better.

    Maybe go to RoL and try to practise building up your combo and also attempting to avoid getting hit.

    Practicing on ROL WS is much more likely to develop bad habits due to the passive AI.
    Oh ... maybe that is why my intercept skills is real poor.

    The AI in RoL is very passive, it's much harder to intercept because they will stand there and hold block. Practicing there can lead you to over rely on parry.

    Also if you're a very new player, I would recommend Dork Lessons training series, particularly the videos on parry and dex:

    When I got stuck in act 4 way back in the day, I went back and explored as much of act 4 as I could. Focus on exploring and run the monthly event quests as well. Take a break from pushing through act 4 and in the meantime, keep developing and practicing your skills and ranking up your champs. Come back to act 4 where you're stuck in a month and try again. Repeat this until you win the game. Good luck! :)

    This is good advice. When you hit a wall, go back and explore, run other content and work on maintaining your combo. When you go back you may find you can do it. Also, I recommend running whatever level of AQ is a little harder than you are comfortable with.

    Don’t get hit anymore.
    Utility champs are more important than the champs from the movies. So lesser known champs are some of the best.

    He has doom and corvus I think he's doing ok on champion selection.

    For me it was getting great regen champs (or other types of health saving champs), so I could keep up enough health to finish paths.

    Good luck! Unfortunately this is part of the learning curve.

    Act 4 is the first time that skill really makes a difference.

    Make sure that you can do the following, and if not, go back to 4.1 and explore it and just focus on an aspect of the gameplay until you've got it consistently:

    - Parry, rather than take a combo into block, (make sure you have 3 points in the parry mastery)
    - Get in the habit of not pushing opponents to three bars of power, as you get deeper into the game virtually every champion will have their SP3 active and it'll pretty much kill you.
    - Start to read the nodes and look at your roster to find the counters. Late in Act 4 is where little bits of utility do become important to continue progression. Of course with a 5* Corvus you can bypass the vast majority at this stage but it's a good habit to get into.
    - Learn how to dodge/dex special attacks, some are fairly easy - Ironman's for example - others have quirky timing like Spiderman's SP1 but this'll greatly reduce the chances of you dying from block damage.
    - Hold a combo, ultimately you need to be able to get into a fairly comfortable rhythm of MLLLM, Parry, MLLLM etc. and then dodge a special and get back into the fight.

    This game only gets more punishing and complicated the deeper that you go so it's important that you can master the basics early on or you're just not going to have a great time. The Act 4 rewards are outdated because they're old and because player progression is so fast these days but just treat it as your learning play area.

    Ill take that into consideration. Thanks for the help! This will help me

    Corvus should be able to solo all the lanes for you. Look up his playstyle. I did most of 4.4 exploration with my 4* corvus.
