I'm a valiant who is done with act 8, 9.1 and crucibles exploration, looking forward to do my first necro run on the titania path and seeking advice on if I should do AoA prowler objectives first or necro, I'll attach my team and revive stash below


will probably be 5-6 more revives when I actually start the run, will they be enough?

I don't have kate and aegon is r2 and will eat alot of time and resources to max so the conclusion of the team, any changes recommended?
any fights to look out for? should I grind more units and buy eq revive deal?

too many questions but oh well I really don't wanna get hard walled or run out of revives on any fight so taking maxmimum precautions, also I don't wanna do it later and save for banquet etc coz well I'm bored and just wanna do it asap, any advice will be appreciated 🙏

p.s. i'll start after 3rd week of royal hunt objectives drop so I can r2 shuri for easier clear.

    R3 Wong soloed the entire path 1 for me, with Guardian + Valkyrie taken care of by Knull

    I would also wait until after you finish the next AOA fight cuz once you start Necropolis you will not be able to do another quest, not that it will take two weeks, but still

    AoA is temporary content and Necro is permanent. Start with AoA. I'd also suggest, as others have, getting that revives stash up. You should expect to use 50-60, so be prepared with around 80, or have enough units to make up the gap. You don't hit either of those marks currently, so it's best to hold off until you can fix one of those.

    I'd actually plan for more than 80 revives(unless you are great with Wong and Onslaught) for your first run as well as stock up on health options too. I'd do the AoA fight first also.

    Hey I did necro last year with a similar team.

    R2 wong
    6r5 shuri
    6 Juggs low rank
    Dead Nick fury for 20% attack
    Voodoo for wong synergy

    I think it cost me around 20-25 revives and a lot of those went on awful ai in dragon man fight and me not understanding the cap Sam fight. I’m not a great player anymore but without those blips would have got it down to maybe 10-15.

    I did the same split paths as Normax (who did it itemless and inspired me to try as I loved playing wong)

    If you can solo Titania with Wong you’ll likely be fine as that’s probably his hardest fight to keep the spells up in. The synergy really helps his upkeep.

    I also forgot to use mystic special boosts until very late in the run which would have got me the few solos I just missed out on as charges ran out. Obvs with Wong you’re just spamming sp2 so they really help.

    I only used shuri for psychoman which was one revive I think.


    Good luck if you do it!

    Synergy. Helps gain Eldritch charges (or however it's spelled)

    Thanks for the advice guys, I'll probably wait 1-2 weeks to raise my revive stash and finish AoA fights first.

    Guys can I get some help with this, the dark tide damage is too much, how to avoid/reduce it? Should I have brought doom or abs?

    What happened to waiting a couple weeks and getting the stash up? Even if you get through Airwalker, you're probably gonna have to spend money on units to be able to make it through.

    Airwalker was an easy solo with wong for me.

    I’d suggest watching Normax guide to Wong/necro as it outlines the key points of all the fights.

    From memory, block his sp1 get some green spells up first then blue then yellow. You should be regenerating like crazy on sp2.

    I bought the eq bundle after grinding units so I thought that would be enough, didn't spend much so far, just 2 on aarkus, 2 on omega and 1 on titania

    It is up to you, but I would back out, get your unit and revive/potion stash up and then come back in a couple weeks. Take the revives used as guidance and encouragement that you can use when you come back. Watch some of the guides available, especially ones with the team you have, and then commit to it.

    Trust what many have said to you, necropolis can break you (units, resources, and even emotionally) if you're not prepped properly. If you want to power through it, go ahead. Based on what has been said before, just wait at least a week. Build your stash and units, and then come back.

    Agree with this. Unless you want to spend money to push thru I'd just get out.
