Necropolis Completion with no r5/r2!

Necropolis initial run

Team: R4 Kate Bishop (ascended, 5* WS relic ), R4 Shuri (ascended, 6* GG relic), R1 7* Vox (5* Cap marvel relic), R1 7* Chavez (5* IF relic), R4 Juggs (5* Juggs relic)

Max boosts, no ouchies

No units, starting revive stash = 85 (20 team, 10 lv3, 27 lv2, 28 lv1)

Titania - Solo with Kate

Aarkus - 4 revives with Chavez/Juggs (2 team and 2 individual)

Omega Sentinel - One team revive. Combination of Kate/Vox/Chavez. Solo is possible with Kate, but accidental caltrops placement can cause her to heal 60k a second. Vox does great damage but she still places incinerates even when they bypass autoblock and this kills them after a couple placed. If you set up tranq with Kate, she’ll never be able to incinerate you

Air Walker- Solo with Kate. Set up tranq and he can never place his debuffs. 3x fragility + 3x coldnap and just heavy him in the corner. He’ll always throw a special because of Kate’s cornered ability

Captain Britain- 2 team revives. Combination of Shuri/Vox and some Chavez. Can’t use Kate as efficiently here so she was annoying. Shuri managed about 2 million health in a good attempt but charges were a problem.

Wiccan- 3 revives. Could have soloed with Kate but he wasn’t cooperating after hitting 30%. Kept throwing sp1’s and healing 60k per second. Had to quit out and finished the last 10% with Chavez

Psycho Man- 1 team revive. Kind of a fun fight actually. Just follow the prompts and my entire team (aside from Juggs) put in solid work. Vox took a massive chunk of his health all on their own

Section 2:

Guardian: 1 revive. Vox is so good for this fight cause he just ignores all autoblock after the first sp1. Lots of degen damage. Got him to 46% first try and finished him off with one revive. Solo wasn’t possible cause he was r1 @EdisonLaw (since you asked about Vox in Necro)

Valk: 2 team revives. Such an annoying fight, especially with the autoblock and block penetration. She can destroy you with one mistake and is much more punishing than any other defender so far. Everyone put in solid work here but Chavez and Kate did the most

Red Guardian: 1 revive. Keeping track of his autoblock sucked and I got comboed. Other than that, very easy Kate fight that she could solo if you remember to keep track of his effects. Start with tranq so you never get stunned.

Ran out of health potions here so everything from this point is just with a revive

1 team rev here just to bring everyone back after using what health Kate had on Cap Sam

Cap Sam: 1 revive. Kate handles him with ease. He’ll always throw sp1’s and you can melt him with coldsnap damage. Tried everyone else here just for fun but only Vox worked well aside from Kate

Dragon Man: 2 revives. Can be soloed with Kate if the AI cooperates, but I think a r4 just can’t even with full cooperation. KarateMike’s R5 did solo DM but I had to use 2 revs here.

Cap IW: Solo with Kate! Kate was critically low after the DM fight and I was planning on just seeing how she does. Super simple fight. I put the tranq up just in case then cycled through the fragility and CS. Had to evade multiple SP1’s rooted

Nova: 2 team revives. Not a hard fight whatsoever, I just wanted to have some fun with Chavez and Vox. Only used Kate once here even though she can take him well cause I was getting a little bored of using her after all these fights.

Revives used before final boss: 21

FINAL NAMELESS GM:

4 team + 7 indiv

Third phase sucks. That is all

Hardest fights: Wiccan, Aarkus, Valk, and Cap Britain

Total revive count: 32

Mutant 2-3 gem from the rewards. Not sure if I should hold the class crystals for a while or not. Happy to answer any questions that people have!

Smooth run. Interesting you didn’t use Aegon but looks like the others work fine

Yeah I didn’t want to rank + sig Aegon. I figured Kate would work just as well and she didn’t disappoint

I think you were one of the two asking about Vox. I’m glad he was able to put in some work for you.

ThePredator1001

Awesome job! Tip for Cap Britain incase you run through it again. Shuri perfectly counters her because you can do the entire fight without ever landing a crit, so no reverse controls to deal with. Just build to 12-19 shocks then sp1. Then heavy to convert all your charges to critical shocks. Repeat till 48 critical shocks. Then sp2 to max out your normal shocks too. If you have 10-11 shocks you’ll have too many charges from sp 1 and will have to crit a couple times. It’s abit tedious but I took her down in 1-2 revives

MarvelNoob

Great job! I spent about the same with my run, except for a very embarrasing 3rd gm phase....
Now my r4 kate is finally ascended for exploration and still no shuri😐

Your advice helped a lot! Yeah he was a beast, wish I got a cosmic gem for him

Thanks for the tip! I think the biggest problem was the amount of charges a r4 Shuri has. A 7* one would’ve been so smooth here

Anyone have any advice for the gem + crystals? I have domino, storm, gambit, and Emma (all unduped). Definitely thinking domino as of now if I had to use it. Not sure if I should try for domino dupe/Stryfe/Bishop or go for a different class for Chavez/Sassy or Shuri

I don’t know much about Storm but I personally wouldn’t take either of those champs to R3 unduped. If you really wanted to rank someone I think Domino would be the best candidate since you’ll eventually dupe her. She’s still a pain on defense unawakened. Picking a mutant 7* crystal might actually be a good idea. Duping Domino or getting Bishop, Stryfe, or Sunspot would be good (none of those really need their awakened abilities to be great). It’s really personal preference. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Thanks! Yeah, I’m still not completely sure. Love domino, but idk if I want to her rank her unawakened. The mutant crystal seems like a solid bet (but gambit is in there lmao) so I might go for it. Thinking of just making a poll and going with whatever people say cause I have no idea

Wow so kate even r4 can do very well in necro.
Congrats for completion and thanks for the infos.

Do you have maxed despair? I'm trying to figuring out how to deal with wiccan regen using kate

What I ended up doing is just working on dexing Wiccan’s L2 and just pushing him to that. He only regens on the L1

Lordtellox9

I cannot wait to fully explore* this content when I reup on units or revives first time doing this type of content haven’t touched abyss or labyrinth 50 revives used roughly recorded most fights 😏

Thanks, I hope it helps your run! I was running 2/3 despair. The regeneration wasn’t bad at all for thme first 60 or so percent. It gets worse and worse because of how his regen functions though. It was initially about 20k a second which Kate was able to keep pace with and lower with despair.

You’ll constantly want 3x Tranquilize and 3x Fragility and your tracking. Despair 3/3 should turn off his regen or make it pretty insignificant. As Viper said, you could also just push him to sp2’s. He’s kind of a jerk sometimes though, and he’ll throw sp1’s even if you block bait. Kate’s corner ability is so good, but it works against her here, since he’s way more likely to throw whatever special he’s at

Cvlr

@Emilia90 @Viper198787 thanks, I'll keep in mind. It may be tricky to push him to l2 but could be a solution.
Do you think kate (now is r4 but I'm planning to r5 and ascend) with chavez sinergy (chavez only 4* lol) and 7* r2 wong could be enough to do easy path?
The 4th slot would be for 6* r3 juggs obviously for ngm. I don't know who should be my 5th.

P.s. wong can solo, here's againts red goblin

Kate at r5 can do pretty much 90% of the path with barely any revives. If you’re good at using her, you’ll have a great time. You could use her for Titania, OS, Air Walker, Wiccan, Psycho Man, Valk, Sam, Cap IW, DM, Nova (alongside Wong if you’re bringing him) and RG. Aarkus is possible with her, just a little harder. She won’t work well for Cap Britain and Guardian though. You’ll really want someone for Guardian, I’m not sure if Wong can handle it tbh. I’d recommend Adam or Vox for him. Same for Cap Britain, though I imagine Wong might be decent for her

I did my completion run using R2 Vox and R4 ascended Kate as my main attackers and I made it through. If I had Kate as an ascended R5, I feel like there would be a couple more fights I’d be able to solo. Air Walker, Red Guardian, and Cap come to mind. I went a fair bit of distance against them but ultimately it took too long for me to finish. R5 would reduce a lot of the problems I had but I didn’t have the resources to rank her.

Amir447

Nice job, extremely impressive stuff. Do you think your revive count would have been reduced with aegon on your team? I'm debating whether to rank him all the way up for this or to r5 Kate 🤔

@Emilia90 I have 7* odin and r5A hercules possibly options for guardian.. what do you think about?

well played good sir !

Polygon

For those that don’t have Aegon but a 7r2 Shuri, what fights should Kate do over her (Kate at r4)? Or is it better to mainly just use Shuri at that rank?
