So who is tempted to run LOL easy path just for...

...20K 5 star shards? My only option is a R4 5* Storm, I'm bordering on 10K 5* shards right now, a LOL easy path clearance would give me 2 shots at likely disappointment Stark Spidey.

I don't want to pull an Anonymous2K here, I know he did this and got Colossus, but on the other hand if you don't take risks you don't get the rewards.

Anyone else contemplating this utter madness?

    I did it for gwenpool on April I think or March. And for the awakening gem for 5* voodoo. Cosmic gem, and drax from the third crystal I popped for gwenpool. I’d say it’s worth it for the accomplishment and for the alpha2, and I wish you luck for your spark, but don’t count on it.

    I did it just for fun not the rewards with my 4* SL and got 5* SL and Dr Voodoo

    I might just go for it, start Sunday night. Even if I miss on Spark, I've still then got a LOL completion, plus I did pull Blade and Starlord last week (so this would just be the icing on the cake).

    If I didn't do it, I reckon I'd always think back to "what if"...

    Just did this with a 4* SL for another 2 shots at Blade... and missed. Also got a completely useless 5* awakening gem for my roster.

    I'm not saying don't do it (and I imagine a r4 5* Storm is a fairly good way to do it), but doing it for additional shots at a featured/getting a useful gem and not getting it does tarnish the experience somewhat. That said, if you have the units lying around, getting a first clear of LoL is never a bad option.

    Why not save your shards and try to dupe blade when he comes back?

    I had a skill awakening gem from 5.3 exploration, so I awakened him immediately. I'm hoping for a generic gem for exploring the entire act, then I can wake up Starlord for a full LOL run.

    Thanks, I appreciate that failure is a likely outcome. I think I could stand the loss, it's just a question of whether I can find the time to fit in all of the battles. I'll have a think.

    As you say, completing LOL is never a bad thing, and it will give me enough T2As to consider a possible 5* rank 5 when T5Bs are released (Starlord or Blade - tough choice!).

    Since I asked the question, I thought I’d post the results. I ran LOL easy path over 2 days with Storm, it was rough but I made it through. Unstoppable Colossus was the point at which my will began to break, but I raised my game after him.

    I was determined to wait until tonight for the basic pool to improve before popping my 30K crystals, so I just popped my awakening gem - got a cosmic, the only one I didn’t want as I had one already.

    I was pretty angry, so I foolishly queued up two Spark featured crystals and popped them instantly...

    ...got Spark and Winter Soldier. I nearly fell off my chair, I was bracing myself to be Kabammed.

    So for me, this long and crazy journey was worth it. I really feel like I earned my pull as I worked really hard for it, but I sure had luck on my side as well.

    But how I would kill for a tech awakening gem. Or two.

    I was about to do LOL soon but pulled stark spidy a few days ago. Think I’ll still do it for the rank up items and the 5* gem awakening. Buying the 5* shards deal probably helped with the decision not to rush into it.
