Mr F to Apoc with the corner trap node and indestructible
First and foremost , I have a 7* Shuri so I wouldn’t really need Kate for section 1. There is an Air Walker who’s the hardest on that trap node. I’m not sure how people with Aegon or Kate found him on that particular node, but on the other 2 paths, Ive soloed him with Kate. In the event that he would be much harder for this lane, I ascended my R4 Abs Man.
Section 2 is where things get a little uncertain for me. Theres a Tigra that I heard Kate slaps, but a Herc that is not really a fun time and most I’ve heard just spam coldsnap with her against him. On the other hand Aegon would probably smash right through that hercules but idk how good he’d be vs tigra (im not too comfortable dexing her sp2 but i can try the sp3 spam cycle thing)
Who would do that Herc cheaper, an r5 non ascended Aegon or an r4 ascended Abs Man? It’s probably Aegon but I’m just wondering since the trap node would fuel Abs Morph Charges and my 5/5 MD.
Regarding the shared fights, Cap IW, Cap Sam are easy solos with Kate but on this path with the indestructible, it will probably need a revive. How many revives does Aegon do Beardo and Cap Sam in?
I was originally planning to just do a full Kate/Shuri run but GM without Aegon was not fun since he was bugged when I fought him last time (I had to chip him down from 30 to 5% using Juggs without any wounded). But even if GM doesnt throw specials, I can just ignore the prompts with Aegon and power through. Plus, he’d be very helpful for Hercules.
On the other hand the main reason I was going to bring Kate was for Tigra, Cap IW, Cap Sam (again not sure how good Aegon is for these 3 fights)

The indestructible node only makes nova and dragon man a little more annoying with Kate, but once you get your effects up, they won’t even be dashing forward much (especially after the root).
GM is probably going to be your only pain point with Kate though. Aegon is definitely better for him
Aegon is worst against him combined with trap node, airwalker alone costed me 20 revives.
For an aegon shuri team, apocalypse and airwalker is tough. I spent 20 and 12 revives on them. You have 7* shuri so she works fine I guess. Bring someone for airwalker, I believe abs man can handle both air walker and apocalypse, and preferably nova. Nova is not bad but annoying with that indestructible.
In the second path, I managed to solo capiw and 1 revive for cap sam, both have easy specials to dex on root, dragonman is easy with shuri as well.
Regarding tigra and hercules, Tigra is easy with aegon and few revives, but you have to bait and dex her sp2 cuz her sp1 activates the blue form which is annoying for aegon.
Hercules is easy and fun fight with aegon, but he is little bugged in the third phase as sometimes your actions may not register even if you perform in correct order and his protections are not removed, I did him with aegon in 3 revives.
So no need to bring kate for cap sam and capiw, both can be easily soloed by aegon. Tigra, try to deal as much damage before the root kicks in, I did in like 5-6 revives not bad.
Just bring a airwalker counter, and make sure you are good at dexing apocalypse and nova specials. I think you can bring abs man and handle airwalker and apoc.
And yeah, Aegon is insanely op against gm, I just went in 40% health, and managed to reduce gm's health to 20%, then another revive to 1% nd prof x did the rest. This was even cheaper than my all act 6 gm runs.
I tried mr F from kate and the spacing stuff is annoying and just not worth your time
imo
I only used namor for attuma and did it in 3 revs and kate worked for almost the entire lane, soloing Mr f, air walker, Wiccan, tigra, cap sam, dragon man, and cap iw
Kate,shuri, chavez(for kate synergy)and hiemdal completed the team.
And then i used kate for airwalker,cap sam,cap iw,dm and nova and aegon for herc and gm
I thought apoc was easy with Shuri once I realized he's unstunnable at 4 prowess - but tigra was just awful. I never knew when my true accuracy would bypass miss , and even then I'd get wrecked by her specials at some point.
So I'm leaning on either going full Aegon / Shuri but Air Walker sounds like a pain .
Alternatively the other thing I was considering was both Aegon and Kate and ramping Aegon on Namor like @SidDDragon said. Mainly so Kate can do air walker cheap, but also do Tigra. Only downside is dropping heimdal and proxima to fit Kate and chavez
Does anyone know if you can do the sp3 spam cycle with Aegon against Air Walker? The strategy people used against Silver Centurion
edit: for reference, I used 26 revives on the whole path or smth like that which is almost as much as aegon v airwalker fight for basically about everyone I've heard.
