Guess who just completed Necropolis

You may have seen my prep post some days back, and now it's done
(GM final 30% was absolute dog)
Now for the fun part: Rewards
We start with the r3 gem
Now that's pretty good, there are some bangers from that class, but the only one I had was Sassy, and while a r3 Sassy would be great for BG's, I'd prefer for my r3 to be an attacker. Chavez would go really well with my barely ascended r5 Kate.
Also about ascending Kate with the shiny powder that I got using her: Kind of a throwback to when I did the omega boss rush with a 5r4 Quake to get the t5 basic that enabled me to take her to r5, so that's pretty cool.
So I chose mystic for the first one:
Welp, time to try again:
Ok, so it looks like I'll probably be taking to Sassy to r3, but not soon. My second r3 is going to come from 8.4 next year, so I'm going to wait it out in hopes of getting a better mystic, but that is only until I'm able to get a second r3. No hesitation then.
Some closing thoughts: I mainly did this for the Road to the Crypt rewards (Christmas gon come late), and in fact this is the first piece of everest content that I've done. Didn't touch Abyss, only tested out champs in Lab. Don't plan on exploring Necro either.
Another motivating factor for doing this was Kate: in particular, MSD's damage output demonstrations. I had already started feeling the Kate hype, I had pulled her months ago when I was chasing someone else, and she was just sitting there among the rest of my 6r1 level champs along with another champ that I looked at sometimes: Aegon. So once I decided I would actually do a Necro run, it was time to make a big choice: Aegon vs Kate. Next level up I took Kate straight to r4, monka see big number after all. Really two main factors contributing to this: (i) Aegon would sit and collect dust after the run (ii) Aegon would be way more expensive.
But now I have completed necro, with barely any units spent (used potions from free crystals) and +1 rank 5 ascended Kate Bishop. I would have probably done it at some point in the future anyway for the Guilly piece, Crypt rewards pushed me to do it now.
I don't know if this will make a big difference to when I get Valiant, because the way these resources work is that after like 6 months the gates have opened wide enough that even playing somewhat regularly can get you there. Kabam have said that there will be essentially 4 guaranteed r3's in the short term (necro comp + necro exploration + CW + 8.4)
One of my r3's is coming from 8.4, and that is also the one among the above four that is the furthest away at the moment. One cannot help but wonder if that is for any particular reason.
Anyway, I'm just rambling at this point.
