So I planned to explore the final few paths in act 6 to get some units and spend those energy refills and Honestly, With 6* max and 7* champs, still I realised there are some horrible paths in act6.
To start with, in 6.4.2 Thor rags quest, there is this path with clapback and "opponent get damage only when you have special attack activated with prowess effect" nodes. This combination is already brutal , on top of that we have defenders like Man thing who needs a poison immune. Sunspot is bugged nd don't work on this path since his prowess activate after the launch of sp2, while now we have a lot of options back in 2020 there aren't many champs who could do this entire path.
Next in 6.4.4 cap marvel quest, we have disstack with energy absorption ice. You either need a champ who inflict a lot of armor breaks, or a champ who is coldsnap immune and inflict a lot of debuffs.
And in 6.4.5, we have pull (non contact attacks deal damage, contact atatck deals less damage) and selective timestream. Ideal one for shuri, but when this was introduced, shuri wasn't even there in the game. I wonder how people got this lane without shuri.
next we have That's gonna sting, which is not bad. But we have nightrasher in that path who purifies all debuffs when knocked down. Only Ham works here I believe.
Next THE MOST RIDICULOUS FIGHT is in 6.2.6 champion quest. We have do you bleed emma with armor break immunity. And awakened emma has ability which makes here go to diamond form when Takes a lot of damage. So you need a champ who does apply high potent bleed with very low damage on basic attacks and special attacks. Went in with Venom and can't kill her even after 600 hits.
Just kudos to whoever explored Act 6 with 5* champs back when it was released. I'm just glad new story quests are more easier.

6.4.4: This one is really forcing you to use champs with lots of armor breaks. Knull, Medusa and Sym Spidey seem like good choices, or just blast through the path with CGR like I did lol. Alternatively, a purifier with access to loads of debuffs could work. Zemo can do every fight except for Sentinel and Havok.
6.4.5: Pull looks terrible and I remember almost throwing my phone in anger. Aside from Shuri, Stryfe heavy spam seems like the way to go. Maybe building enough prowesses and then nuking the opponent with Prof X.
For That's Gonna Sting there a lot more options nowadays. Ham and Cassie can solo most of the fights and then I imagine Torch with the pre-fight can take Night Thrasher.
And the Emma fight was long and terrible. (There is a way to cheese it but I'm afraid to mention it here in case it gets patched)
Overall, I really feel for the people that had to explore act 6 with limited options. I would not recommend anyone to go back and explore it until they are at least Paragon and with an expansive roster. I must admit I had a lot of fun, for the most part, going back and taking on some challenging fights tho I did question how any human being come up with some of the node combinations.
As for 6.2.6 Emma and Old Man Logan, i used Aegon, cause you can inflict damage through block
I may explore it some day but have to wait until the rewards are updated.
The only thing is I don't know if you get all of that from the content after all the massive nerfs, if it's too boring and easy now then yeah, skip it.
Use Warlock for Emma Frost
