    Day 7 Recap!

    Oh yeah, it’s all coming together now! Still not as productive as I wanted to be but the 6 star pulls today was absolutely HUGE.

    Starting from 7.4.1, the paths today was pretty easy:

    7.4.1 - 0 revives, hulkbuster crushed the Guilly boss

    7.4.2 - 0 revives, sabretooth boss in this quest is really easy, just slow and steady

    7.4.3 - 1 revive, onslaught worked well for hubris purgatory boss

    7.4.4 - 0 revives, Mojo boss nearly took out my whole team but I pulled through 😅

    7.4.5 - 2 revives, killmonger boss was pretty annoying, that knockdown cruelty is no joke

    7.4.6 - 0 revives, yeah I was very happy with this. Punisher 99 did the first 2 phases of Kang, Hyperion did the 3rd, and hulkbuster did the 4th. Really easy fight for my team

    Then came the big pulls. The 6 star nexus from act 7 completion was trash, but the 6 star basics were not. Photon is an instant rankup as she’s an upgrade to an already heavy hitter for me. Starky could be a future investment when 6 star awakening gems and sigs become easier near end of act 8. Overall so so happy, my luck is turning.

    I rushed straight into act 8 as I find act 8 easier than 7 for the most part:

    8.1.1 - 0 revives, weapon node giving 400% sp2 damage is very fun

    8.1.2 - 0 revives, another weapon node, this time for heavy attacks

    8.1.3 - 0 revives, weapon node for 800% block damage is broken good

    8.1.4 - new r3 photon destroyed the science path

    And that’s where I’m up to. Tonight though I plan to go hard. I’m streaming act 8 push with a minimum goal of cerastes (8.3) and a hopeful goal of glykhan going down.

    Need to speed up to stay ahead in the race, Nick is currently doing act 9 100% but is on day 12 👀

    Day 8 Recap!

    Very successful push! Managed to make it all the way to 8.4.2, putting me in a good spot to complete 9.1 on day 9.

    Quests 8.1.5 to 8.2.3 was done on stream (some tech issues and general tiredness), mostly successful having to use a couple revives as I went. I also pulled doctor doom from 8.1 rewards, so he went straight to rank 3.

    Then after I slept I pushed some more:

    8.2.4 - 0 revives, weapon node on the right hand side is very broken for photon, gives her instant ramp

    8.2.5 - 3 revives, no real good paths for me here, went with the whittle down path

    8.2.6 - 1 team revive, bahamet wasn’t too horrible, just a very slow fight as he always is. Took me over 40 minutes to kill 😂

    The rewards for that slog was INSANE. 6 star cgr and onslaught was not what I was expecting, but it has given me a very good necro option. He will be going all the way to rank 5 ascended after 8.4 (tonight).

    I then carried on into 8.3, which would prove to be interesting with only relics in 2 classes:

    8.3.1 - 0 revives, outside lane starting with nightthrasher isn’t too bad, and omega sentinel boss can be done with any champ

    8.3.2 - 2 revives, tech lane on the left is easy apart from having to use lvl 1 overseer for ibom, that wasn’t fun

    8.3.3 - 0 revives, tech lane on the right was easy as I have relics in that class

    8.3.4 - 0 revives, thing boss is really easy here with onslaught

    8.3.5 - 1 revive, mystic lane was really easy with doom as I had increased power steal, allowed me to cycle sp1 and sp3

    8.3.6 - 2 revives, cerastes proved to be a bit annoying due to my minimal relics, but punisher and hulkbuster combo eventually got through him. 16 mins compared to the usual 5-8 mins on a new account of the past.

    8.3 rewards was pretty decent and interesting. From the nexus I was able to dupe doom which is a nice little bonus for power gain paths, and my first 7 star was peni parker! Someone I don’t even have on my main 😂.
    I do like her as a champ, unique play style and really tanky, and she is instantly at rank 4 level.

    So the current team is looking like this:

    Doom, r4
    Onslaught, r3
    Photon, r3
    Punisher, r3
    Peni, 7 star r1

    Overall a very diverse team, with very meta champions but some unique ones too. Hopefully I will be able to push through 8.4 and 9.1 tonight to set myself up for exploration on day 10, then necro day 11 to finish the challenge!

    Due to tiredness I had to end the stream slightly early and go to sleep, but I’m gonna do a mini stream later today to finish it off properly.
