I am preparing for my first run of the Necropolis, however I want to be as efficient as possible but at the same time I don t want to risk getting roadblocked along the way. I currently have a 6 star r5 ascended sig 200 Kate Bishop, 6 star r5 (unascended) sig 200 Aegon and a 7 star r1 unawakened Wong. Out of the "main" attackers I see peole use in Necropolis I only miss Shuri. What do you think an ideal team would be and who should be my main attacker, I was planning to take the Titania path. Also let me know if I should r2 Wong or someone else or wait to ascend Aegon. I do have other champions like Herc, CGR, Chavez at different ranks.

Should I use Aegon, Kate or Wong mainly?

Also, if I were to use Aegon what would be best, suicides and not using specials (after combo 999) or no suicides and SP2 spam?

Should I be concerned for not having Shuri?

I currently have around 60 revives stashed and a lot of units (which I would like to save for Banquet).

Any help would be much appreciated!

    KT1 on youtube has very good videos with spreadsheets, who he used, the fights themselves, alongside him there are other youtubers aswell! Im saying go on youtube as visualizing makes it easier to understand what you have to do and how to do it! I myself used Aegon and a 6* rank 4 Shuri for Attuma at that time and did 100%, maxing out Aegon is not a waste if you plan on 100% it, if not use a rank4 ascended maybe and be done with it

    BTW this is what I used for first run

    Titty - kate
    Aarkus - doom
    OS - kate
    Air Walker - doom
    Wiccan - doom
    Cap brit - doom
    Psychoman - kate

    Guardian - kate
    Red guardian - kate
    Valkyrie - kate
    Capiw - kate
    Dragonman - kate
    Nova - kate/doom
    Sam Wilson - kate

    Boss - doom
    Final phase 6* wiccan

    70 revives approx. I didn't use shuri as well.

    Do you want easy but revive intensive, or harder but less resources? That's the first question I ask.

    With Aegon I didn’t have a need for Shuri in the Titania path. I used Aegon for every fight to 100% exploration exception for 4 fights. I left suicides on.

    I only have 3 star Shuri if that helps xD

    If you would like to hold onto those units, don't use Aegon. Kate (with the Chavez synergy!) is by far the most effective and inexpensive champ. She can solo most fights on the easy path. Kate, Shuri, and Wong were my go to champs. If you're going against guardian later in the run, I'd recommend having someone who doesn't rely on energy damage. That fight is a slog if not (Adam Warlock would work well), although Kate still gets through it eventually. Many people recommend reverse control immune champs for the GM, but that's up to you. At first I used Wiccan but eventually I got comfortable and used Wong's power gain in the final phase for my later Necro runs.

    Harder but more efficient, I have no problem playing Kate or Wong for that matter.

    And how many revives did you use?

    Nice, I have 7r3 Chavez to bring alongside Kate. Would it also be an option to have Aegon ramped as a backup and bring Kate, Chavez, someone immune to inverted Controls (Wiccan) and maybe Heimdall alongside him and use Kate mainly?

    If you have a 7r3 Chavez and a 6r5A Kate don't bother with Aegon at all he'd just be dead weight and a revive sink just to get him to 999 and you won't even need him with Kate and Chavez.

    My first run was ~110 I think with a r4 in ascended. My final run with a r5a was ~65. Altogether, it was ~440 I believe with Aegon being my centerpiece on all paths. (I know this question was for someone else but I chimed in).

    Ok, thank you, then I'll probably just go Kate and Chavez. Should I be worried for not having Shuri?

    That seems a bit expensive with Aegon, so I don't think I'll use him for now...Thank you for the info!

    I'm sure others were way lower with Aegon. I have my runs written up somewhere on here. They were done without hardly any guides (as they were done fairly soon), and I spent like 45 revives on just fighting nova because I stink.

    But yes, Aegon is much more expensive than Kate or Wong.

    Here's my first path. Alternatively u can take the Apoc path and solo most of them with Wong.

    Daaamn, so I reckon I should also r2 my Wong and bring him too. Do you think he is better than Kate for Necropolis?

    Yes and no. Wiccan helps his spell and he's reverse-immune so that's one benefit over Kate.

    Undoubtedly, Kate requires much more skills to play at full potential. Wong is easier to use, and safer with his healing, especially with energy damage. I can't count how many specials I intentionally took head on just to get more powers.

    Wong is extremally strong for the left paths, not so much so for the right paths. Kate on the other hand can be the main damage dealer for all 6 paths in general.

    I explored Necro like 2 3 weeks ago

    I have used Kate and shuri team
    Aegon team as well


    So if you have 70 revives, Aegon can do Titania path fairly good and good for rest of fights. You can bring Doom for Air walker and solo it. He can also do Cap brit fight as well with 1-2 revives. Rest can be done with Aegon

    I used Kate shuri team for path 2. It needs good skill set as well Chavez for that extra DOT. But GM was not that fun with this team whereas with Aegon I was able to brute force which saved me some mental damage.
