Summer of Pain Week 7

And so it begins…

Comments

If you Activate Diablo's Distilled Will Prefight (Heal 70% of Energy Damage Taken) then can get more than 1 Philosopher's Mix Active (use Specials) you'll Heal more than Symbiote Supreme Deals, useless against Does though.

Side Note if you use the "Essence of Null" as well, you can reach the Sp3 very quickly by spamming MLLLL Combos (so you don't apply Poisons which gives SS more Power) then the Sp3 will apply the 10 Buffs which will get Nullified and let you get off at least 2 Back to Back Sp2s which is 3 Philosopher's Mixes.

So what's the the strat without nullify immune champs?

Don't attack him on the fury phase, wait for the buffs to expire on you. Strike the block to short distance.
When both fury and nullify phase go away, you can attack

Easy solo with Voodoo, almost a full yellow bar too. Also used Domino for Mercenary one, used two lvl 1 but hey, still pretty good. I won't do the Cosmic one because I can aford it, haven't done the whole thing from week 1 so yea.

JaggedSac

Did it with Domino in 2 revives.

Completed the week using Domino, Warlock and Hyperion.

Mystical denial, which champs are good for it?

Warlock worked for me

Lvernon15

So far I’ve soloed with hype and hit monkey (just about and with a lot of luck) and have got very close with Claire, all 3 require an extremely high amount of luck, but all can definitely work for a solo

te_dua_shum

well, it turned out that the cosmic objective was the easiest and the cheapiest, only 1 revive with Hyperion (5* 5/65 with 30% champion boost) ^_^ for the #control:denial one i used warlock and four revives, glad that it's done... but at least i learned how to fully dex the SP2, that's really good for me *_*

Hype
Masacre
Voodoo.

The cosmic challenge for this is nothing less than stupid. Reminds me of that dumb sym supreme caustic lane 6.1.6.

This week made me use a revive. The first revive I’ve used. It was completing the cosmic challenge with Hyperion. Spent 2 hours trying to get the perfect RNG for a solo, wasn’t happening. Had a good run where I got him to 12%, and went **** it.

It’s annoying because I have a duped R4 Angela and a R2 6* Angela. The R4 just couldn’t deal enough damage quickly enough before she died either due to a nullify or close encounters. If this has been 5 weeks later, I would have a duped R3 Angela that would have destroyed it. Waiting on her basic arena to invest in the 6* over the 5*. Much pain.

The fight itself I actually don’t think is too bad if you’re just going for completion. However, the thronebreaker objectives are downright evil. Thankfully Voodoo and Domino cleaned up with relative ease, but the cosmic one if you don’t have a high ranked and sigged Angela is just plain mean.

I don’t mind the level of challenge. I would just rather I had to use a revive because I played badly over because I got bad RNG.

Damn the mercenary one is looking brutal if you don’t have BWDO or Hit monkey
Got the solo with a R5 Domino. Strange given how terrible people say she is.

You beat me to it..for all the hate she gets for her RNG in lowering AAR, she worked really well for getting 2 points in this fight.

but you used revive coz you didnt play perfectly. blaming it on rng is always easier ay

I mean I was using Hyperion. Getting the solo with him is entirely dependent on RNG. I literally spent two hours trying out different strategies.

But sure, believe what you want if it makes it easier

Qacob

I'm having some luck with my Punisher 2099. Haven't beaten him yet but I'm working on it. It seems like the strategy is to use SP1s, but we'll see. I suspect that SP1s into his block to reduce the placebo buff gain is the way to go.

Pffff your strategy is using sp1??!! Noob, my strategy was using 3 L2 revives 😎

60% chance to stun on sp2, if that is not rng I'm not sure what is

sure but using hype and relying on sp2 stun was your choice. cant blame the challenge init

It’s almost like I had no other choice because that specific objective was quite restrictive

Or would you rather I time travelled as few weeks ahead and duped my Angela

Anyone else finding that Angela is being nullified when she shouldn't? I have a max sig Angela and with 3 or more buffs she is still getting nullified when Chthon's passive comes on. But not all of them, just some of them.

I believe the nullify part of her sig is still multiplicative. So each buff doesn’t reduce it by a flat chance, it reduces it by a percentage of the new chance, meaning it never really reaches 0. My Angela was nullified at 14 buffs, and even at sig 20 (14% resistance), she wouldn’t have gotten nullified of it was flat

It’s weird the other part of her sig is flat and this isn’t

Your explanation makes sense. I just wish Kabam would have more clarity/consistency when talking about % chance.

Agreed, especially when two parts of the same ability are working differently. I would suspect they forgot to update the coding for the old sig when she got buffed

Ok I'll share my experience. I got all 1 shots with 3 different champs in such odd ways. Note this was after many restarts.

Angela (5/65 sig 200): I opted to use only SP3s and I'd try to stun him before I used it to waste the armor break timer alittle while being alittle safe. Her SP3 does NOT GIVE HIM POWER, it only triggers the armor breaks so he gains no power. It doesn't really do that much damage also but hey.

Domino (5/65 sig 20): Luck, luck, luck, luck, luck, luck... etc etc. The time I got the 1 shot was because her SP3 placed a 8k per tick bleed on him which cut out alot of the fight. I didnt record it take a pic cuz it's not hard with her, just you gotta get lucky.

Voodoo (5/65 sig 40): This was a... very odd fight to say the least. Basically leave the odd combo on SS which gives him -50% Ability Acc and well... that was it. That's all I did for the 1 shot. Voodoo mostly turned all his stuff off so it was just me trapping him in the corner, parry, 3-4 hits then into a full 5 hut cuz the parry stuns last so long, repeat. I didn't use a single special attack. It was all basic hits. I was as shocked doing it as you reading it.

Would Sabertooth work? He's my only ranked up Merc.

Thanks man that voodoo advice really helped, just one shot him with an r4
I tried with Angela but I only have an r4 and it was taking ages so I used a maxed Hyperion, got him down to 25% with some nice luck so burnt 2 revives to finish him,
I also one shot with an 2/35 domino, finished the fight with 2% health so that was neck and neck, pumped I got 4 points with 2 revives and only had to do a few restarts this week
