Am I crazy for wanting to use Aegon and Kate for the *RIGHT* side paths?

My Aegon is only rank 4. I already did path 1 with Kate, path 2/3 looks like her territory as well. Therefore the r5 for Aegon seems unwarranted.
Im trying to explore the option if Can I fit a rank 6 Kate into the team over a synergy spot for Aegon.
Now the obvious issue with this is chavez would also be needed. So that leaves me with only 1 of proxima/heimdal/fury of which I would lean towards fury since he’d benefit everyone even for e.g Chavez vs Galan. Unfortunately Kate with despair is bugged against that Diablo and I don’t think Kabam is aware yet, so I was going to bring torch instead for path 4 as he also works better than both Kate and Aegon for that Stryfe.
Because Kate can handle paths 1-3, the focus of this thread is specifically for paths 4-6 of which I’ve seen users on forums that used Kate for paths 1-3 say they used Aegon for 4-6. Think Lagacy used Aegon as well for these paths despite being decently skilled with Kate.
Combining Aegon and Kate has its benefits:
1) wouldn’t have to rank up 7* G99 for Jubilee path
2)Wouldn’t have to bring Doom for niche fights like Kraven or Centurion (he’s just too slow my ally mates did them with Aegon using a few revs) or bring Tigra for Galan when I can use Chavez
3) You can choose which fights to ramp Aegon in or use Kate if the particular fight was annoying to ramp him on, then ramp Aegon on one of the next fights. (I know Jubilee is an easy ramp up, not sure about the others on that lane or the Roblin/Odin lanes for ramp up)
4) Can still limit revives used on the fights Kate has a handle on but still enjoy a fully ramped Aegon for the Grandmaster
Sadly there isn’t many videos on Kate used for the paths on the right side, but for anyone that might be asking, I’ll copy/paste what someone said they used her for on these paths as a reference.
iBom, Red Goblin, Nimrod, Odin, BWCV, Squirrel Girl, Spider 2099, Sunspot, Kitty Pride, Elsa, Purgatory, Quicksilver, Spot, Sandman and Shocker.
Has anyone done something similar? I’m considering it because as stated my Aegon will stay rank 4 (I’d rather use the r5 gem on someone for BGs) since he’d only be used for paths 4-6 and just a full kate/shuri team for the other 3 paths

Yes, you don’t need both. Those slots could be used for synergy partners

No, you can enjoy the benefit of both based on the points made, especially since Aegon will only be rank 4

Just go Aegon, get high combo, keep punching and sp-2 and remember to use light ending trick for 50-60k per punch.
If I had Wong I would’ve just done full Aegon teams
Its very nice not to need extra counters for paths 5 and 6, I wonder how good Kate will be on those 2 lanes. Will use her over Aegon whenever she works to limit revives and just brute force the others with Aegon since he’s only rank 4
You lose the benefits of team building bringing both. They have major overlap for the fights they cover and
I also don’t think r4 aegon for exploration is going to push the results you’re expecting if you’re not going to rank him all the way.
For right side
Either go Kate/Chavez + 3 slots to counter whatever specific fights you’re worried about (or drop Chavez for the path you intend to use Kate the least and bring an additional counter)
Or Aegon/proxima/heimdall + 2 slots for counters
You also ideally bring a reverse control in 1 of those slots
Do you know if this list for all fights Kate can do on paths 4-6 is accurate?
iBom, Red Goblin, Nimrod, Odin, BWCV, Squirrel Girl, Spider 2099, Elsa, Purgatory, Quicksilver, Spot, Sandman and Shocker.
Any i left out? Or of that list would any be hard to Kate? Like Claire
Kate can work in path 5 despite the reverse controls if you play around the node?
“iBom, Red Goblin, Nimrod, Odin, BWCV, Squirrel Girl, Spider 2099, Elsa, Purgatory, Quicksilver, Spot, Sandman and Shocker.”
Yes Kate can do all of these, I also used her to get Knull down because I didn’t bring potions to heal Wong for set up and future ant man because I couldn’t find a better counter.
She can do Claire but I found reverse controls easier with Chavez who ends combos with heavies and so I used her for both Claire and Shang Chi.
The only shared fight you really need a counter for silver centurion.
On 2nd thought, I am willing to rank g99 but I’m not sure how beneficial it would be outside of path 4. Yes, the centurion is a shared fight, but Doom would help on Kraven as well. Though I imagine G99 to be extremely faster than Doom for Centurion
It looks like despite ranking g99 , there was still fights you had to use kate for some non ideal fights in Knull and FAM. Since i also don’t have Wong, there would be even more fights I would struggle with if I brought a Kate/Chavez team WHICH ultimately is why i was considering the dual Aegon/Kate team, if that makes sense.
Aegon works on the knull/fam/sunspot/kitty and even the silver centurion.
The only downside is Id have to use t6cc to rank 5 him which I am willing to do, but I want to ask if it is still worth it given that Kate will be doing a lot of these fights? (Aegon wouldnt even be used in Sauron/Mr F path as well)
Whats your thoughts, would you still rank 5 him?
I didn’t need Kate for kitty and sunspot (even though I’ve seen her solo him) because g99 solos those fights and 2 shots even without ramp. I think you’re overestimating the revive cost of right side with a proper team
My 6 star Aegons at r1 and I left him there despite having the resources to have taken him up for exploration, so I’m not really keen to recommend taking him to r5. I made the choice knowing that I could clear with less revives if I brought in a proper team so if you feel differently then do what would help you clear easier
He can brute force more fights on the right side but I guess it comes down to whether you want to clear faster with aegon or keep the rank up resources for a character that doesn’t end up benched for the foreseeable future.
Someone told me regarding right side paths, that even the fights i talked about that can be done with Kate, are significantly harder than the fights on the left side and need a higher level of skill with her.
This also alligns with the fact that almost every streamer switched from using Kate on the left side paths to Aegon on the right side. (nick136, lagacy). I think the only streams that used kate for right side paths were MSD/bero and maybe karatemike? Top level players is my point
Also @Aomine_Daiki10 had hinted to this as well saying he initially used Kate for one of the right side paths then ranked Aegon for the remaining 2 (he did 4 with Kate and still ranked Aegon because of the difficulty he had with Kate on that right side path)
Also you can do the left paths, rank up and ascend aegon and use him for rights. Another tip for saving revives — use doom! He's great for centurion, galan, storm, airwalker, he only needs 20% revives and gives you opportunity to use team revives. He may be more useful for the second part of left paths too (surfer, man dragon?), but I only ranked him after exploring it. Honestly, he makes centurion so much easy, I actually wonder now how do you do him without spamming revives with aegon or Kate
But I was told the right side paths are drastically harder to use Kate on compared to the left side
With aegon I'd say it was more or less the same in terms of fights difficulty. The harder fights are centurion, galan, stryfe, but for those I used doom and torch. I guess shocker also would be an issue with Kate, as he reduces passive stuns from doom. Knull, if you want to block/parry.
