A realistic necro challenge run

captain_rogers · December 13

As a summoner with mid skills, I thought I'll spend Atleast 30 revives on necro half challenges. But I was able to do cull's worthy + god challenge in less than 20 revives. I'll share my experience here.

Team
7* r3 serpent duped
7* r2 titty duped
7* r1 wiger unduped
6* r5a abs man
6* r5a hercules

Used all max level boosts

General advice

Titty - serpent 1 revive.
Nothing much here. Get to sp3 first for increased charges and spam sp1. Try to stay at 10+ furies (in all fights) and throw some sp3 time to time. Don't dash back much against titania as the weaknesses reduce your damage. With fear you can prevent haymakers unblockable effect so you can parry it out and wait.

Aarkus - absman 2 revive
He can cheese the fight. Bait sp1s since he loves to hold sp2. Stay in magma

Os - herc + serpent 2 revives
Herc works really well for the fight. Took around 35% health, serpent did the remaining fight. Throw sp2 here since it can do a lot of damage.

Air Walker - abs man 1 revive.
Stay in uru, block (preferably parry) the last hit of sp1, and quit out if he activate the buff. Staying in uru is better since you wanna knock him down frequently.

Cap Britain - serpent 6 revives.
Bait sp2 since it's easier to dodge with reverse controls. Easily soloable.

Wiccan - titty 6 revives
This one is the hardest. I thought of bringing titania over hulk cuz of staggers which is a horrible idea. Can't parry since neutralize triggere incenerates if you dex even though you're buff immune (very fun) and you have to make sure Wiccan has a stagger up when he throws sp1. Titania's damage window is small but huge (sp3 + few heavies took 4-5% health everytime) so use it wisely.

Psycho - serpent and team 1 revive.
Serpent is great for the fight since he's immune to heal block and power lock. And for some reason his unblockable specials never failed even when psycho had control box - special.

Rewards : duped Joe and more sigs for attuma.

Very happy overall. The challenge is fun. Share you experiences as well

I kinda went the same as you, only instead of hercules and titania, i put hulk and heimdall.
Most of revive count was similar, except Britain, where i needed 1 for serpent.
I did wiccan with hulk stun lock and exit if he was at sp3.

BioHaZarD007 · December 13

Did my run with 8 revivies. Team was 7* R3 Serpent duped, 7* R3 Hulk, 7* R1 Odin for pre fights, 7* R2 Enchantress (filler), 6* R5a Abs man.

Titania - Solo with Serpent
Aarkus - Solo with Abs Man in Magma form
OS - Serpent - 1 rev.
Airwalker - Solo Abs Man in uru
Cap britain - Serpent - 2 rev
Wiccan - Hulk - 4 revives
Psycho man - Serpent - 1 rev

Saving titan crystal, Got a Hawkeye dupe from 7* crystal. Working on the Mutant challenge next (Onslaught 7* R3 and 6*R5, Wags + Apoc + Sinister for filler and synergies).

What if I have 6* serpent only?
Wait out for 7*?

It's better to use someone else then. Serpent takes some time to ramp up, he needs multiple specials to ramp up and deal good damage. 6* serpent most like hits half mark before ramiping up

Riryoku · December 13

Hulk is better for Wiccan. When he enters Gamma Rage, use SP2, and from there, SP1 stunlock. It cost me 4 L1 revives, and I didn’t even use health potions. It could have been 3, but Wiccan’s AI didn’t cooperate in one attempt. My Hulk is R2; an R3 could have done it in 2 revives.

ThePredator1001 · December 13

Nicley done! I found it useful to bring heimdal because eating a sp3 can very helpful especially against Wiccan, I used hulk and didn’t let him throw an specials besides sp3 and then stun locked him once I was ramped. Worked to prevent his annoying regen.

I used my 6* and he worked extremely well, no need to wait for the 7*, I think this is the easiest of the challenges if you have serpent, Abs, and Hulk or Titania.

I did it in one revive with my r3 hulk . I could have soloed it, but I messed up. He's such a beast for wiccan as well as a few other fights in necropolis. I used him on titania, captain britain, and wiccan.

Congrats

Luigihulksmasher · December 13

This one seems very reasonable

N8buckeye08 · December 13

As someone who sucks at reverse controls, is a 7r1 Juggs feasible for Capt Britain?

Darkraw346 · December 13

Took the whole team to beat Psycho man? Keep it up Psycho man 😭

Controversy · December 13

Is it worth ranking up a 6* hulk for this run?

Average_Desi · December 13

R1 hulk was able to take wiccan in 2 revs

Nah. You'll not have access to your gem since she places exhaustions

For someone who embarrassingly has never used abs man, eli5 how to use him for both Aarkus and Air Walker please and thank you 🙏

You actually use him normally for these fights. In regular fights you want to light intercept which needs practice, but in these fights you don't need to light intercept.

One thing to note is, try to chain your specials with heavy when stunned. You can use relic stuns, or for aarkus you can punish his sp1 with heavy, then throw your sp2, so all your hits will be crits and deal huge damage. This is not needed but try to chain specials with heavy whenever possible.

DudeMaGude · December 14

@captain_rogers got the hang of it, thanks…had to do a quickly google search tho to figure out the big damage…MLM for vulnerability. Live and learn 👍

willrun4adonut · December 14

I've never used Absman. Can you give some general guidance on how to use him?

Nvm, ignore. I see you answered this like two comments above. Thanks.

Also, is an unduped Serpent better than a duped serpent? I saw some people say this, but also never used him.

Depends. For offense specifically, the higher the sig, the more potent his fury passives are. So a sig 200 r5a 6* should be able to really match up with a low sig r3 7* besides Challenger rating and the Necropolis charges. Or if you have an unduped r3 7* already you could just use him

Polygon · December 14

R3 titania or r2 hulk for wiccan?

willrun4adonut · December 14

Just did my run because of your mini guide. Thanks.

@Polygon I had a r3 hulk. If I had put his green science boost on the first fight instead of the second fight, it would have only taken two revives. Instead, it took three.

Sp2 then stun lock. I did have a 6*r2 duped hulk relic as well. It wasn't stressful at all, but I'd imagine Titania might be.

Average_Desi · December 14

@Polygon I used a r1 hulk and took only 2 revives. Which could have been one had I not gotten clipped. So yeah hulk is the way to go

Did you play around with the vengeance charges, or just went straight up nuking and stun locking him? @Average_Desi

If you're bringing in abs he works too, I did him in two revives. Just start in magma and never let him throw special 1, back out if he does. It's quite slow but safe once you get in the rhythm of holding block, baiting his heavy, then baiting special 2

Oakenshield · December 14

Did my run of this challenge this morning. 6*R5A Serpent, 6* R5A Abs Man, 7* R2 Odin, 7* R2 Hulk, 6* Heimdall

I found Serpent to not be hitting quite as hard as Odin, so ended up using Odin for Titania, OS, and Captain Britain. Abs Man made pretty quick work of Aarkus and Air Walker. Air Walker was surprisingly easy with him. Hulk did a good job on Wiccan, and then I found Serpent to do the best job on Psycho Man.

Probably used 30-35 revives, but I’m not a top tier player. Most of them were in overflow anyway. Will probably wait a week or two before I do the next one - just wanted to get the first done for the She Hulk piece and to get to one more Titan for Tuesday. Going to save my units for Banquet now.

My 7* pull was more sigs on my Chavez, so not bad.

Polygon · December 14

Is abs man at r4 ascended enough for his fights? All member soloed with a r5 non ascended

6* relic is always best for these necropolis challenges? My hulk relic is a 5* but i have 6* cap/s99 relic. Cap relic may be good for blocking wiccans sp2 since you cant dex or block baitinf heavies since you dont want him to sp1 and cant parry.

I did mine last night. I took him from r1 to r4 max sig unascended. No suicides, with 30% green boost, 15% attack and 20% health. Took one revive (though I did have to restart like 4 times so lost of revives since I had never used him before) @Polygon

I went for sp2 and then sp1 stun lock. I have petrify mastery so wiccan did not reach sp3 ever. My first run ended at around 51% health. Then went in and played a bit better and ended up around 20% health where I got clipped and died. And then cleaned up using hulk again.

I was boosted
