Revisiting Act 6

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.

You are going to love that 6.2.5 while exploring it 🥴

Gonna be a long time before I bother with Act 6 again, but eventually, I may explore it.

I want to meet the person who thought mordo with spite node is a good idea.

I actually can't find a good reason to explore act 6 lmao

Same feeling with emma frost. Fu** her man. There's a acid wash emma frost in 7.3.6 that has the node where when you knock her down she goes debuff immune for a long time. That's the first time that i can't play immortal abom in a ACID WASH lane!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel inclined to say it's all about perspective on Act 6. I've been using r4/r5 6* on exploration and haven't had any trouble of any kind in any quest whatsoever. Except life cycle. Because that node is just vile.

6.4.2: I remember taking that path with a fully synergized Stryfe. The Colossus synergy with Prof X synergy came in clutch for the Man-Thing. Realistically, any mutant taking advantage of Prof X + Colossus should work. Alternatively, Toad, Iceman and Sauron are poison immune, and if you make them Horsemen they will have a prowess effect at all times. Tbh I found the Thing fight more annoying due to constantly triggering protection. Honestly if you have a Stryfe and can make him a horseman this path is really easy, just annoying.

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.

For 6.4.4 the diss track path. I used apocalpyse, he has easy access to debuffs and can survive the minor coldsnap damage from the node. For sentinel i believe i used annihilus as he is imunne to cold snap while his rod is active and has easy access to debuffs. The whole path can be taken with anyone if you have willpower active

As for 6.2.6 Emma and Old Man Logan, i used Aegon, cause you can inflict damage through block

I actually explored act 6 before all the nerfs with my 5 stars and honestly I don't think I did a path/boss that was harder or more expensive than Fintech's challenges, (excluding when the champion was bugged when he came out).

I already explored both Act 7 and 8. But Act 6 always makes me feel bored and have to stop. The nodes in the chapter are kinda painful and the rewards are quite outdated with that difficulty, especially the exploration rewards.
I may explore it some day but have to wait until the rewards are updated.

Honestly I have few problems with the nodes in act 6. But it’s like 10 paths a quest. At a path a day it’s taking me 2/3s of a year to get it done.

Honestly mate, in the past I would have encouraged you to explore it as the biggest value I got from that content was the experience. I got much better champion knowledge, more practise in tough fights, better at playstyles of certain champions etc and overall my skill level just increased massively. All of this will be a MASSIVE help in other game modes, particularly battlegrounds where all of that is very important. I think it's a big part of why I am able to achieve celestial in bgs, at least when I used to play often, (as purely champion roster isn't enough, you need to be good). Many people have good enough rosters but are unable to reach even mysterium or quantum.

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.

There is a 0% chance I will *ever* return to Act 6.
