So I've been trying to pull 6* Herc, CGR or Hulkling ever since I started getting 6* regularly, to the point I will spend a bit more shards to open a cosmic/tech crystal rather than a normal one. I've just finished exploring act 5 before I push onto TB and got 3 5* class nexus crystals as a reward. I have genuinely pulled all 3 as 5* you couldn't write it!! I assume it's not worth ranking them up as 5* for where I am in my progression based on the resources it would take from rank 1? SO annoying...The game is trolling me!
Herc is worth ranking up. You will use him into Act 7 at least.
Ok so I understand from the nodes for 6.2.2 sinister that I need someone who doesn’t benefit from buffs to counter him. Who would be best counter?!
Don't worry about the buff nodes, focus on caustic temper. You need someone poison immune or resistant that can also gain a fury. If you have an Ultron or Vision 4* or higher, bring one of them with Warlock. This will allow anyone on the team to gain a fury buff whenever they trigger an immunity. You could then use Iceman, Captain Marvel, or ideally Warlock to take him down. Warlock will be good because you can also control his healing. If you don't have an Ultron or Vision for the synergy, then your best option is CMM in binary with Nick Fury on the team. You will just have smaller windows for damage.

About CGR or Hulking i will doubt using resources as a 5*. Give Hercules max sig, max level and ascend him. When i do AQ map 6 i iuse 5* Herc to have available the 6* and he does the whole AQ wihtout problems.
What i wnat to say is that a valiant like me (with all content cleared excep 100% necro) 5*Herc has it uses, max out him witout doubt.
EDIT: Also continue hunting the 6* Herc and max out him too. CGR or Hulking are more for BGs so i will wait until you get the 6* and max out them too.

Thanks. I’m nearly there with herc. I have him sig 160 at 5* rank 4. Just need the gold to rank up and ascend
Think I’m going to end up short on banquet tickets to get the sinister too I have 16 at the moment. Can buy 5 next month through traders outpost but still gonna be 9 short assuming I can’t do the accolade event (I couldn’t do royal hunt because of progression)
I’ll see what I can do. I’m running a valiant speedrun currently but it’s going kinda slow now as I ran out of gold in on day 4 and iso today (day6). If I hit a brick wall I’ll try help you out at least to get zone 10 to get the tickets. Sinister is a total game changer for you plus you’ll get a r4 gem for paragon

As long as you're in a moderately active alliance you should be able to do the accolade event just fine. It's just gifting titles.

Amazing thanks, would be hugely appreciated. I’m Sando50337 in game if you want to add me 👍 just message on here if any time is good for you I’m on fairly regularly

Do I have to be gifted titles or is it based on me gifting other people titles do you know?

I wasn't around for last year's so it's been a bit, but I am fairly confident that it is based on your gifting, not receiving.
I’m back for specific help again! 6.2.5, Do Not Go Gentle node. This seems like the biggest challenge to date and I can’t see a path which looks like a good one! I think the path with Gwenpool is recommended but her fight and collosus fight looks really tricky. I’m a bit lost with where to start for what champs to bring, before I even get to the boss 😅 any suggestions would be great! I can rank up if necessary

Safest way to deal with do not go gentle is to just parry heavy. Getting intercepts to better reduce the charges isn't always safest because the AI doesn't always play into it. However, you do have Herc who can make intercepting easier, plus he can survive accidental damage from the node. Herc, Chavez, Spam, Kingpin and Warlock would probably be my team, depending on the path fights. When you get to Mordo, swap in a Magneto House of X if you have one 4* or higher and use his pre fight with Spam. Should make it a very easy fight.

Thanks - That's useful. I don't have white mags above a 3*, but I suppose I'll deal with Mordo when I get to him. Maybe bring Torch in and hopefully between Torch and Spam they can defeat him
By far the easiest way to do that quest is to take the king groot path but you need bleed shock and poison immunity from memory plus there’s an annoying sentinel with aggression regen.
That path gives you the easiest run at Mordo as it only leaves up special delivery I think. Otherwise you also have to deal with the one where you have to rotate specials on top.
In the mordo fight you can ignore DNGG just kill him and you’ll die with him at 1 health so you just need breathe on him with the next champ to proper kill him. You do wanna go into the fight initially with no dead champs
The global node itself is annoying ideally you want to every 10th hit to be a heavy attack and you’ll never see the node. With champs like doom or Chavez this is easy to maintain and they can take the vanilla fights. Champs with easy access to intercept (herc) can also work as intercept knock off 2 DNGG charges but you still need to keep an eye on them which isn’t as easy if you’re concentrating on intercepting.
If you have any Odin and willpower (you should get this if not) you could get herc shock proof via prefight. Warlock/LDS could do the bleed/poison/sentinel fights. ABS is shock immune in black form?
Be careful on the abom fight you need immunity to poison or a champ that can reliably shrug (I used Shang this week) as you will detonate the when throwing specials. Resistance isn’t good enough (think LDS works this way?). So warlock or ice for him and the bleed fights.
Mordo has spite so maybe Chavez or a champ that doesn’t gain buffs (won’t trigger spite). I used shuri for eg she melted him.
Here is what I’d do but I don’t use all the champs you have so might be missing something better/obvious. I’m assuming here Chavez deals with spite.
kg - Chavez easy. if you want to parry him just parry and don’t hit him until furies drop off then stuns will stick while he has regen CM - abs easy Miles - ice just don’t use specials. 4 hit then parry heavy. Detonations should kill him quick enough Hood - Chavez do the 624 heavy spam tactic for last 25% unblockable. Try to be close to 2 bars on the loop when he drops below 25 so easy to maintain. WM - herc? Really annoying fight just heavies or m-h and bait 10,000 sp2 he has like 300% power so a few hits gets him to sp2. Rhino - warlock/lds easy Abom - ice easy Sent - warlock/lds easy but long
Mordo Chavez or herc nuke. Do you know about Mordo passive/aggressive states?
I’d have mild reservation on LDS as the inflated hit counter could lose track of DNGG, warlock is easier to manage but obvs weaker rank.
Made it through to Mordo - I actually took the Gwenpool path and it was all going great up until Doctor Voodoo. Him, Karnak (with reduced stun timer) and Collosus (stun immune) really messed up my 'Parry Heavy' Tactic and i'm going to need a full team revive for Mordo. Hopefully one will do it! Still to figure out how i'm going to get round his evade.

Don't parry him, just bait heavies and punish. Watch the timing of his power gain so you can hit him as soon as it comes up. Spite will be annoying, but it's less annoying than Mordo's kit in general.
I’m such an idiot man, i spent 100 units on a team revive and then proceeded to use a new champ every time one got knocked out. Only realised at the last champ that herc was doing next to no damage then remembered the strength in numbers node. If I just kept reviving the first champ I would have been fine but ended up needing to pick up another team revive and did it with another couple of single revives. So annoying especially as I didn’t want to spend units as banquet will be massive for my account. 2/3 of a GBC on beating Mordo - oh well, he’s out the way now!
First run at 6.2.6. I only had one champ remaining when I got to the champion but thought I’ll give it a go see how far I can take him. I literally took 2000 health off him out of 322,000 🤣 how do I figure out when he’s going to go unstoppable? I knew he was at the beginning so I dexed until it was gone but then literally in my first combo he went unstoppable again?! Not spending any units on revives this time but not sure of my game plan for next time!

If you don't have an Ultron or Vision for the synergy, then your best option is CMM in binary with Nick Fury on the team. You will just have smaller windows for damage.
