    I navigated the middle with Doom, Claire and Namor. Claire handled Skrull and Terrax, Namor handled Korg. Boss handled by committee.

    Left lane I’m starting over. Clean up to Mojo, then wipeout. Probably should have brought Torch instead of Claire and I certainly didn’t try my 3* Ikaris there.

    I refuse to use any items for this even if it means I don’t 100% it.

    I was thinking of bringing Namor and I kind of regret that I didn't, but then again, I didn't really have space for him. Being able to stun Korg easily is such an important part of defeating him that it was worth taking in Bishop. Unfortunately, he wasn't as good at taking down Terrax as I'd hoped he'd be and I was left without a good counter since I wanted both Doom and Tigra on the team for Annihilus.

    And the Ikaris/Sersi requirement is such BS. I don't really care about only having two viable champs, especially since those two lanes were the easiest for me, but it's still just a silly, annoying design. It serves no purpose.

    My R3 6* SS against Legendary Terrax was a bit of a slog. Took me 153 hits to get him down. That was just one fight. This path is a bit overturned.

    I used R3 Stryfe R3 Apoc, R2 cable for Terrax. Easy peasy. Stryfe made easy work of Annie, hit his block while unstoppable to stun him and nullify it.

    Yeah the increase in difficulty is ridiculous. I get that the whales love difficult quest but why not just add another tier especially for them . Just our throne breaker difficulty and let the rest of us have a game we can actually enjoy like normal people

    It's too much. For what it is.

    Yeah, I'm Cavalier and can barely get through Epic difficulty on this week's. I'm not saying I'm good at the game or anything, but I've cleared Epic difficulty on all other side quests going back to last year when I was just Uncollected, so that should be saying something.

    Luckily I had Magneto for the robot quest last week, but this week's is killing me. It seems like everyone who clears it has either BWCV or Doom and I have niether.

    I thought it was OK. All very annoying defenders but doable with 5/65. I messed up a couple of times and restarted the path. Ended up not using any revives. Honestly, I wouldn’t touch it. There are four difficulties for a reason. Legendary should have at least cavalier+ level of challenge.

    You are meant to use champions with a preferably hard hitting sp1 and bait Blade's sp1. Add parry heavy to that and it's a fairly simple fight. You are making it out as if spamming parry heavy is mammoth task when it isn't. You are making it out as if Blade does nothing but hold block to regen when he doesn't. Unblockable special meant that you could throw YOUR special whenever you wanted to drain your power before power switch meaning it was fairly easy to control your power and the power you give through power switch.

    I soloed with Colossus every time. It was one of the better bosses in cav eq as a whole.
    Nope, and your post just confirms what I have been saying all along. It does so in two major ways:

    1- This line " You are meant to use champions with a preferably hard hitting sp1 and bait Blade's sp1" is key. I tried doing so back them more often than not, Blade WOULDNT THROW HIS SP1 WHEN I NEEDED HIM TO, EVEN IF I DID ALL I COULD TO BAIT IT. That right there is the problem. I'm happy that you had the luck of him biting your bait, but I didn't.

    2- You and @Berjibs basically wrote a treatise, a pages long friggin book on how to beat that Blade, AND THAT IN ITSELF IS TELLING TO THE POINT OF THIS WHOLE THREAD. Such intricate/specific fights SHOULD NOT HAPPEN on monthly quests that are not meant to be/considered as Endgame content. By all means Kabam, put these kinds of fights in your Summer of Pains and your Gauntlets (once you fix the current input bugs, that is) but keep them far away from SQ and EQ and other non-endgame content.

    1) You are extrapolating a special situation of yours and taking it as base. There are plenty of solos of him with champs like Red Hulk using this very method.

    2) I wrote a long response to explain how you were wrong about the fight. The core of the fight is pretty simple (heavy sometimes, use sp1, bait sp1). That ain't a pages long book.

    I'm one of the people who struggled through SOP and didn't have the roster for many bosses without using revives and even I soloed him with Colossus.

    Your only point against this fight is that the AI could be passive which allright, fair enough could happen. However that doesn't mean it's an intricate/specific fight meant only in endgame content. That's like saying Bane is only for endgame content. That's pretty much saying any timer based node shouldn't belong in SQ,EQ and other non-endgame content when it should.

    Again the same, looking at the big picture and missing the details ( the devil's in the details) that make it so if YOU beat the fight without AA but with Collosus, it was because it so happened that YOU , yes besides having a good skill at playing the game, you also happened to be lucky enough for the stars to perfectly align most of the time you needed them to align.

    I'll explain it one more time more in detail and this is really gonna be my last word about, no point on beating the dead horse even further.

    Let's take your " The core of the fight is pretty simple (heavy sometimes, use sp1, bait sp1)" line. Yep, sounds simple enough... until you mix in the fact that Blade had Vampiric Immortality, which coupled with that power switch node made it so that you needed for the stars to align for everything to work out. Why you say? Well because you needed him to throw sp1 in order for you to be able to have a sp1 to begin with right, so let's examine that " beat him with a ranged sp1 champ " scenario that you make it sound so easy ( because you are conveniently forgetting Vampiric Immortality):

    You push him just to one bar of power , and bait and wait hoping he will throw sp1. But alas, Vampiric Immortality made it so that he would eat up his own power to heal himself, so you only had a few seconds of him being at one bar before he ate some of it and went below one bar, after that couldn't throw an sp1 anymore. Add that to the fact that your "beat him with a ranged sp1 " NEEDED him to throw an sp1 not only on the very small window when he had one bar (before Vampiric Immortality took that away) BUT ALSO THIS NEEDED TO HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME YOU HAD THAT VERY SMALL LIFECYCLE WINDOW OPEN to be able to KO' him. So if the stars didn't align favorably for you, you were either dead or back to square one.

    The reason why Sym or BWCV made it all a bit easier was because they could nullify the heal so you had more chances for this to happen before he was healed up, but still the perfect star alignment condition needed to be fulfilled.

    Dude, I am genuinely happy for you that his fight didn't give you any headaches, I truly am. But what you are saying about me taking my own experience and extrapolating it as it if was everyone else's experience, well you are doing exactly the same. You are assuming that everyone else happened to have the same amount of luck you had by having the stars aligned exactly when you needed them to be aligned.

    And that's the end of the discussion on my end, you may choose to continue it but I wont answer cuz there is no point on me proving my point any further. And the fact that it all adds fuel to the fire of this thread still remains, so there's that.
