No Aegon for Necropolis?

in General Discussion
So nearly everything I've seen has recommended Aegon for Necropolis (which makes sense). However, as someone who doesn't have Aegon and would like to attempt Necropolis at some point in the future, are there many viable options besides him? Should I start trying to get, awaken, and max sig the 6* now, or are there other teams that I might be able to use instead?

    If you don't have 1 Aegon you'll need all or some of: Zemo, Shuri, Stryfe, Kate Bishop, Storm/Apoc.

    Basically, it's much easier to just focus on 1 champ. Pop the skill/mutant crystals and there's a decent chance you can get a year selector from Cyber week to select him as well.

    I’m in a similar position. No Aegon, and no shuri unless I rank her up as a 6*. I was planning on my team being Kate/Chavez/juggs/herc and one more I haven’t figured out yet. Can this team take everyone on the easy path?

    Kate can do almost all of the titania-guardian path herself. You just need someone for that guardian because you will have a very bad time with Kate against him. I also recommend bringing someone for the vision aarkus.

    While watching Nick136’s run he took aarkus very easily with Chavez and used herc for guardian. My main concerns are psycho man, dragon man, captain Britain, and maybe Wiccan (unless Kate works for Wiccan)

    I know bittersteel took all those fights with Kate. Don't know if he posted his run or not though.

    Yeah Kate can take all of those. MSD has video of him taking Wiccan with Kate, and KM soloed DM too. Psycho man looks possible, just annoying with his ability. Cap Britain is similar.

    Does anyone know how Kate works for Omega Sentinel? I have Vox for her but I heard he still gets incinerated

    Thanks for mentioning where you saw those fights I’ll check those out.

    Kate with Chavez great combo for clearing easy path and I would also bring Juggs or Wiccan for the GM makes life so much easier I left my Wiccan back wish I didn’t because the reverse control aspect of that fight is not fun without a counter.

    Awesome. Is there a particular strategy to go for or just do regular Kate stuff?

    Path 2 can be done with Shuri and abs man.

    Shuri soloed or near soled the first part of path 2 (Mr fantastic) besides air walker who I used abs man for

    Abs man is amazing for Path 2 starting at apoc. The trap node just makes him stronger by giving him a free form pause and power from mystic dispersion. Apoc was tough with him but hes wrecked tigra, herc, Cap Sam, and nova. I used Shuri for dragon man, and cap iw.

    The Juggs was used for the last phase of NGM, so much easier with a fever controls immune champ

    @Emilia90 if you’re gonna use Kate you’re gonna have to play with her arrows in these fights most fights you get 2-3 fergility arrows going then start the coldsnap arrows but like the Titania fight you get a few tranquility arrows going first then the other 2 and I didn’t use the caltrops arrow as it’s to much going on anyway.

    Thanks! Yeah, I’ve tested her on Titania and double tranq shuts her down. Then it’s just 3x fragility + 3x coldsnap to sp3. I also didn’t apply caltrops here because it’s useless against Titania. If she dashes forward/heavies, she goes into haymaker so I’ll use caltrops in other fights. It’s super cool how useful tranq is in necropolis. You can shut down so much with it like Ibom and Spidey 2099
  • Manup456Manup456 Member Posts: 891 ★★★★
    Yeah definitely you don’t need it in a lot of these fights but when do need them it’s great to have, I had ascended her before this started because she’s such an awesome champ.

    How many revives? I'm sitting on a r1 duped 7* shuri and R4 duped 6* abs man so it's sounding good so fsr

    Manup456 said:

    @Hasibullahfida Path 1 is the easiest and what I took, Kate works great and I used Herc for the tech fights but he kinda only has 1 leg because no immorality but it’s still a very strong leg lol I used Titania as well but Torch is a great replacement for her.


    What happens if u arent expert in maintaining different arrows and ur just focused on one? Still better to use kate to use r4 aegon?

    @BitterSteel If you have some time, could you make a detailed post/video going through the easy path with kate?

    So far I'm thinking 6r4 kate, chavez(only for synergy), wiccan(or prof x both are 6r3) for gm final phase, hercules maybe because I see people here recommending. Who would be best for the last spot? Someone here recommended bringing a counter for aarkus, and I do have a 6r3 absman.

    A discussion/guide on my completion is on my list of vids to make at some point. Hopefully in the next week! Just need to catch up on war vids 🥲

    I’ve seen lots of talk about Chavez and Kate. I have a 7* r2 Chavez and 6* r4 Kate. I was planning on doing an all Ægon run, but would it be more worth to bring a reverse control immune, one or both of Chavez/Kate, Ægon, and maybe Heimdall for easy path?

    Can you give more detail about revive cost and the abs man playstyle/rotation you used for path 2 please?

    How many revives did it take you for that path? I'm on tigra rn, using abs man, and it's a stressful fight to say the least. Apoc took me like 10 revives with abs man (around 10% health taken down each fight). It's looking like it'll be the same for tigra. My abs man is r5 fully boosted.

    Alright, so I've gathered that Kate is a good champ for path 1 and that Chavez is nice to have for synergy benefits. Would you all say this is a solid team? I know they're a little low in rank, I'm going to rank them up before attempting a run.

    I put Doom for Aarkus and Airwalker, Odin for Guardian, and Professor X for Grandmaster's final phase.
