I'm actually pretty decent on Korg fights these days. I can evade SP1 fairly reliably, I have the basics of the fight down pretty solid. If I actually brought anything that could deal shock damage, maybe I could have gotten past that fight easier, but still, with some potions and revives I got past him.
Before someone reads this and make a mistake, just want to point out that Korg is fully shock immune
I think that was actually an intellectual joke. By this I am saying DNA knows this, and was saying “I could have done better using a champ that doesn’t directly counter him” or maybe his brain is mush at this point and he was actually talking nonsense.
The korg fight is very tough with the team you brought. I quaked it and used 1? revive or so. But you could have used mags for the sassy and mojo fights. That’s what I did. I brought a very similar team: mags, quake, magik, bwcv, and venom. I used about 1600 units total, with a good potion stash and limited stash revives, mostly on void as I was running suicides.
On sassy, you had the heal block synergy with magik on the team. So just heavy to heal block. I used quake to get him into healing range, then finished with mags. It did take a few revives to get a handle on how best to finish the fight. Mojo is a mags fight. Heal to full, slap on a mutant power boost, parry heavy (but don’t charge the heavy as the temporary prowess charges could trigger degen) then fire the SP3. Maybe it’s a revive or two.
This sounds like my experience with this month’s Cav EQ exploration which I did for the first time ever since I started playing this game less than a year ago…but obviously not on the same level of difficulty as the Gauntlet. Interesting read.

Was so confused when you started talking about SoP so in depth in a gauntlet post but it made sense in the end. Honestly, I’m impressed you made it all the way with those champs, regardless of units. Quite a long slog.
I did it with Ghost and one 20% Revive after hours of trying
I skipped the "hours of trying" and just used a revive after 5 minutes. Stop letting the youtubers brainwash you. You dont get any extra rewards for solo-ing that fight.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong at all with using a few items to finish a tough fight, but you do realize that people do things occasionally for reasons besides rewards right?
Some people just want to get better at something. Some want the personal satisfaction. Some want to dunk on some mouthy kid in their alliance that thinks he's amazing. There are plenty of reasons besides extra rewards someone could want to solo a specific fight that takes zero energy to get to and you can run repeatedly for a week.

It does save you resources though. Maybe that guy was trying to save resources but in the end just gave up and used a revive.

No you don't but there's another 2 months of fights to come and they may need resources whereas this was a fight that just required a bit of finesse. I enjoyed it to be honest, I started only getting 25% down and comfortably soloed it by the next day and I'm a lot better at intercepts and I can probably speak for a lot of us when I say that my spacing with Rogue's SP1/2 and heavies is pretty much perfect now.
That was a good read man, my expirience was worse unfortunately, can be so painful.. Either way congrats for finishing it!
Worse? Did your phone battery explode, or did you accidentally tap on Iron Man in your Nexus.crystal?
Well, summer of pain was easy. If I go with post title 😂, it was not worse.
But gauntlet expirience was worse, I used maybe 7 or 9k units and I had to quit out at sansquash, I want to quickly forget those few days of my life so I am not sure of the exact ammount.. Ammount included buying new masteries and hell a lot desperation tries to get him down.. Couldn't even auto fight for few days, even unistalled game
After few days I end up redoing it and that cost a considerable ammount again because I had no stash at all and korg happened
So yea, you can say it was worse, if u consider it as gauntlet expirience and not summer, atleast units was grinded from arena and now I am back at 15k for 4th offers
I don't have time to read this wall of text but curious to know how you find time to write all this and still have time to grind arena?
I grind arena while doing other things, like watching Youtube or TV, so it doesn't take dedicated time. Sometimes I just sit back and relax and listen to music, and downshift my arena grind to a very slow ten rounds an hour or something, which I can do without even thinking about it.
Forum posts take time to write, but probably not as much as you think they do.
Anyone wondering if I had any plans to tackle the Abyss in between runs of Summer of Pain week two, sorry to disappoint you but I took a few swings at it and then just used Warlock and a couple revives. I'm resting up for week four, when the Thronebreaker objectives arrive. Surely, if those aren't enough to bait me into doing something dopey, the final challenge probably will.
I remember when I was a much younger MCOC players and I walked away from the Maze. I was so much smarter then.

Quite possibly the best 2 opening sentences of any post, anywhere, ever.

I gave GG a half-hearted effort before going off the grid for about 10 days on a trip.
Came back and dropped 6* DM on Summer of Pain Rogue without a lot of issues (other than a pair of dropped inputs that cost me revives).
Started planning a rushed GG run before I read this post. May just enjoy the next day or two and wait for it to come back. 😁
Cheers!
