When beating the grandmaster relies on hum throwing his sp1 and he refuses to trow a special unless i dash forward and eat the special in my face ..like this is so frustrating and ridiculously unfair in so many ways..more than 1500units 15 team revives 15 level 2 5 level 3 so many potions and only 2 4 million taken from over 9 million total points. I just don't know what to do ..I can't quit the fight I have way too much invested ..and $100 says if I file a ticket I ain't getting none of it back or anything but an excuse ..kabaam if ur watching what would u do if u were in any of our shoes ..or do u even play the game..what's the point of playing if I can't progress

If I was you I would quit the fight and leave it a month before trying again. There are other things to do.
I’m sure you’ll figure it out, but it might make sense to bail this time and get a handle on it. Ain’t no shame in that. The GM isn’t going anywhere.
Good luck.
Both act 7 Kangs I was able to suss the rules out, and eventually dominate. GM not so much. The rules are there, it’s a fair fight, I just struggled to master them.
But don’t get caught in sunk cost. How many until does it take to redo the lane to get back to him to try again?
If you feel you have to beat everything the first time, if you feel that if you spend enough the game should hand you a victory, then maybe this is the place to get roadblocked. It doesn't get any easier. I should say, it doesn't get any easier to play the way you're playing. If you have to beat the game the way you're playing now, you'll eventually get beaten yourself. You'll eventually run into content that no amount of spending will get you past.
Quit the fight and try again later. Or quit the game. Or spend a ridiculous amount, for the privilege of spending even more later when you run into Gwenmaster or Kang. It is your choice.
Maybe you think you're the only one. Everyone else is just facing everything and beating it the first time. Or they revive a couple times and then beat it. That's not the case. I get stuck, quit, and try again later. I know people who have gotten stuck for months, sometimes a year on a particularly difficult fight. They quit, and try again later.
That's how you become Thronebreaker if you aren't willing to spend unlimited amounts to get it. You try, you practice, you quit, and you come back again later when you're stronger and more skilled. That's how the vast majority of players will become Thronebreaker. You have to let go of the idea that everyone is just blasting through the content, and so should you. If you can't let go of this notion, you're doomed.
The "excuse" is you're not supposed to spend excessively to try to beat content you can't beat, and you aren't going to get a refund just because you think you deserve to get more than you did for your spending.
The developers do play the game. Some of them are strong enough to breeze past content you're stuck at. Some of them get just as stuck as you do. They have the same choice you have. Recognize you aren't ready yet and try again later, or try to spend past the content. That's life.
For example, Doom and Hercules are great and can handle all of the rules/prompts. Herc is also great for the last phase.
Kudos to you for being constructive tho 👍🏼
Keep trying. Quit out for now.
Post roster.
Unfortunately if you’ve not got a handle on the mechanics, which evidently you haven’t, throwing more money at it isn’t the solution.
What I did after my initial clear was to do a path, then practice each of the Grandmaster’s phases until I was confident in it. If you have ‘connection issues’ you can do this almost indefinitely every 20 minutes or so, which will also give you time to cool off which you must need as I dare say you’re not playing that well if you add the frustration into the mix.
Good options for the Grandmaster are:
Doom, Herc, CapIW, Sinister, Prof X, Emma, Corvus (especially awakened for last phase), Apoc.
There’s a lot of good options tbh but I think you need to take a step back.
"Fortunately" I was using a fairly ramped up Aegon (who then became fully ramped up over course of the fight), and eventually... I just brute did whatever damage I could... and revive... typically only doing 3 percent a run. Sometimes I'd get the dex... and even get him wounded... but took a good 25 revives that first time.
It was bad enough that I ended up just skipping the last week of Summer of Pain. I had no interest in doing that 6 more times.
Eventually I did act 6 exploration... I did it the "right way"... still took like 10 revives each time.
The act 7 bosses in general are much easier. A few still take some learning curve... but once you do them 1-2 times... are solo-able or at least itemless.
Me when I finished reading the post:
That, or you know, watch some tips and such. Or come back when you're more prepared.
The control issue is another reason I chose not to go through it (I don't want to get frustrated and annoyed)
I really hope you can pull it off..
My team was four 5-Star max + one 5-Star rank 4 and I had another bonus champ allowed by the game, Unitman.
It’s always open right next to me. Running would be inefficient.
