Fully recognize I’m around a year behind many of you, but took advantage of the January content lull to get going on Act 7. I just made Thronebreaker last August so have been spending the last few months building up my roster and restoring my units.
My first run was last Tuesday, did my completion run last Friday, then spent the last week on exploring. My impressions are similar to many others I have read:
1. Kabam did a nice job on this content. It was challenging and fun, but not ridiculous like some of Chapter 6.
2. One of the things I appreciated was that you had multiple ways to solve various node combinations, and I enjoyed taking advantage of my recently fleshed out roster. There weren’t many cases of “Oh you don’t have that particular champ? Well, then bring Unitman or just deal with being SOL.”
3. Red Mags was my MVP. Nimrod and Claire were right up there with him. Lots of use of Kingpin, IBom, HT, Diablo, Doom, and NF. But also spent more time using champs that I haven’t spent as much time with - particularly on progression - like OR, Molegod, Ultron, and even some Ronan cheese time.
4. Yes, I did end up using some revives/units, but I’m at best a mediocre player and I was also prioritizing speed over resource efficiency as I wanted to get it done far enough ahead of the next monthly event to potentially squeeze in a completion run on 7.2 before next Wednesday. I don’t feel bad about the investment relative to the enjoyment and the rewards for completion and exploration.
Didn’t exactly get the T5CC random options I was most interested in, but am REALLY happy with my 6* Nexus outcome. All three were good options, would have been happy to dupe my Mr F and DDHK isn’t bad, but definitely excited to have finally landed Peni. Conveniently enough I finished my exploration run while the Level Up Event was still on, so took her immediately to R2
