  I have been stuck on Act 5.2.4 for like 3 weeks now and just cant do it. I have some decent champions but just the act is too hard and really need to get UC so I can get more champions. Do you guys have any tips especially for my team.
  
  
  

  Revives. You're team is more than qualified to handle act 5. People can do act 5 with 4 stars. You need to farm units and save up to 1k at least. You may need more than 1k, you may end up using less. Learn the nodes and watch a youtube video on the best routes to take for each quest.

  It's embarrassing that you can't belittle someone's progress without a spelling error... 🤡

  First of all, you need to understand how content works in MCOC. From Act 1 to Act 4, with a few exceptions the content can mostly be brute-forced. As long as you hit them and you don't get hit back too often, you'll be fine. It is in Act 5 that the requirements start to become more complex. Act 5 is the easiest content that adds more complex nodes and effects, but if you don't understand them the simple brute force hit and don't get hit will start to not work.
  
  5.2.4's global node is masochism. You can tell by tapping on the defender and looking at the node description on the right side of the screen. It is important to start reading these. My guess is that you're not aware of this and are unaware of how this node works.
  
  Whenever you land a debuff on the opponent masochism will give the defender a heal. This has a 7 second cool down, so it can't trigger non-stop, but it will trigger repeatedly during the fight.
  
  Because of masochism, you need to play more aggressively. You can't play very slowly and very cautiously or the defender will heal too much and you won't make progress fast enough, and eventually you'll make enough mistakes you'll die. There's a few ways to beat masochism.
  
  1. It is possible to play well enough that you can beat a defender with masochism with any champ. You just have to be aggressive and not trigger it too often One way to do that is to not parry-stun them too often. But this requires a higher level of skill than I suspect you have.
  
  2. Overwhem masocism. Since masochism has a 7 second cooldown, it is possible to simply flood the defender with so many debuffs that it doesn't matter. Champs that can land tons of debuffs and deal a lot of damage can beat masochism. If you are aggressive enough, archangel can do it, and his neurotoxins will also reduce the effects of the heals.
  
  3. Block or reverse heals. You have Guillotine 2099. Her special 2 attack can reverse healing. But that is applied as a debuff. Masochism converts debuffs into healing. So to use this correctly you have to land a debuff to trigger masochism, and while it is on cooldown land SP2 to land the spectre debufff. This will cause any heals from masochism to reverse and actually deal damage.
  
  
  Mostly, you're entering the part of the game where you have to practice your combat skills more, you have to read the node descriptions more, and you have to learn how your champs work more. Kitty, Archangel and Rintrah can all deal with masochism in different ways. Those champs are ranked up high enough that they are able to take 5.2.4. But you will need to practice with them so that you can use them effectively and also take as little damage as possible while doing it. This will become increasingly important as you progress higher in the game.

  Really good advice. Much better compared to my "revive" solution, but it's nice to see this kind of support in any gaming community.
