Crucible roadblocks?

Dirty_Dozz · August 9

I've seen a lot of planning type stuff, but somehow haven't seen anything that talks about this question: Are there any fights were you ABSOLUTELY need a relatively specific counter, or else you'll lose? Or are they all doable with Revives if needed?

Going through (primarily "winging") my first path right now, and has been going well, but with every fight, I'm getting nervous that I'm gonna overlook something huge.

The only fight that comes to mind is Taskmaster with "crit me with your best shot", as if you bring a Champ who can't crit, you literally cannot deal damage. But past that, I can't think of any as serious as that.

There’s a lot of nodes that are “if you don’t do this you’ll deal 90% less damage”, gotta watch out for those. Just gotta read the nodes, pretty much all of them can be soloed if you know what you’re doing

If you're running Taskmaster path, you need a champ can consistently applies shock for a gully 99 in the path. 3 evade counters for 3 spiders in the path. Preferably have a power drain counter for warlock. Mr negative needs a champ who have consistent bleeds.

Gwenperion will be a revive sink if you don't bring someone who can counter her healing node without debuffs. I hear Magneto works for her and even Ronan can work.

What node on Negs says it requires a consistent bleed? I'm not seeing anything about that

Be careful with that crit monkey in path 1

Mr negative has bloody mess if I'm not wrong

I wrote my whole team on paper lol......watch out for that Ibom on path 1.....I used cbones and didn’t have a lot of fun

Average_Desi · August 9

I saw magnetoX gains a lot of buffs so used Ronan XD

Cuber2906 · August 9

bwdo with tht evade node is tough but the only reason its not a roadblock is cuz its the second fight in the path so its just restarting to continue.

Remember that purgatory with hubris. She could be a problem if forgotten about

You'll get incinerates on you if you hit negative when he's not bleeding.

Onslaught worked well for that fight

Yeah surfer can work but mr negative can deal damage for each debuff on you. So you're better with a skill champ who can purify or apply bleed. Jabari worked perfect for this fight for me. Zemo, kingpin, mantis shang chi moleman all are very viable options as well.

Surfer can work well too since you get insane amount incenerates on you which increase your damage a lot. But he may take damage from dark energy.

Guardian takes guilly 99 very easily.

Starky is definitely very annoying (I used gladiator, it wasn't fun

), I'd recommend an evade counter like venom. Unfortunately, I had planned to use venom for the next fight so it was a painful one with gladiator.

And that cable fight... all my homies hate cable and that rng mess of a fight (I used rocket). If he procs regen at 1 bar say goodbye to your hp (unblockable sp1 that is borderline undexable), also his power gain and the power surge node pull off the meanest wombo combo and push him to an sp3 while he's in the middle of his sp2 animation. Fun. Save warlock for this one lads.

Ik cable is gonna mess me up big time that's why I used 5* nimrod for the fight to avoid those headaches (I saved my 6* nimrod for namor).

I used Venom for starky, Stealthy became the annoying one for me and the costliest fight (5 revives) besides superior kang as I ended up using 6* r3 venompool.

Hulkbuster - I brought Guardian in and the fight lasted 30 mins. His armor up is extremely annoying with something to reflects crit damage on you.
Purgatory - you need to bring someone who deals a great deal of power sting damage. Scorpion is ideal for her

Will3808 · August 9

The gwenperion on the path that starts with yondu can be a pain without a counter. I’m planning on using mags.

Torch with nova flames is great for Purg, his incinerates and power stings work really well for that fight too.

Ronan makes gwenperion a breeze. Highly recommend going for him if possible, even a 5* one would work.

Kindred was really good for Cable. -90% buff duration removed a lot the RNG of that fight and MD goes brrrrr. When I did the 7 for 7 challenge, I just used sym supreme and that fight was like 20 seconds long.

Ah I didn't even think of that, yeah he'd work too. Kinda bummed that I didn't use my r5 ascended kindred for that, it could've been his Lisan al Gaib moment.

Good to know. I'm coming up on Cable in a few fights, and was just planning on Nimrod or something. Now I can save him for someone else
