Everyone max boosted
7r2 sig 20 Warlock, 6* relic
r5a Ultron, max sig, * relic
7r2 Crossbones, 68 sig  88 sig [used stones form after first part on him], 6* WS relic
R5a Void, * relic
7r1 Guilly99, sig 80, 6* relic

Jubilee: Guilly99 – 2 revives. Should have only been 1, but I forced quit when she was at like 6% health so I could finish her with a sp3. However, I launched the sp3 when she has 2% health, and damage cap is at 1.5%. It doesn’t bypass so revive wasted. Don’t select ANY prefights as that affects her ability to power drain. Guilly is nice because she will regen once she hits 15% health, so those 20% revives are great for her. When she is in the hit with heavy, Guilly has a long reach. You can dash back when she fires an sp1, and still connect with the heavy. Mostly, I was able to just just keep getting her to 3 bars of power launch my sp1, power drain, and then I could keep attacking her and chain with my relic until she was back [often quite quickly] with 3 bars of power. Occasionally I would bait a special. I did use the heavy to build up shield charges when able. Being able to hold a combo is obviously super important.

iBom – Warlock [1 revive], Ultron 1 revives PLUS 5000 hp heal [so he’d get that regen at 25%] I just don’t know how to play Warlock apparently. My first run got him to 70%, but it was only because of his vengeance timer being much longer than Ultron’s. I found Ultron much easier to play. Watch his poision charges, and get him to throw sp2, as that will activate his acid wash, use up the poisons on him. What’s great about Ultron is he regens some of that block damage from sp2 or evades it. So he’s really tanky. I rarely play Ultron [incursions last month was my first time], so there is probably a better play style. His sp3 was great if iBom was getting too close to a sp3 as I could then just power drain him. However, I had to make sure to do that when acid wash was already on as the stun timer on sp3 is a bit long. Exited out and brought Guilly to end with sp 3.

Diablo – Void: My first time fighting void on my initial run, I tried Torch and Aegon [and maybe another]. I think I spent like 25 revives because I had no idea what the node was talking about. I went in with the same strategy and not really understanding, and took off 13%. I realized I had to figure it out because this would be a long slog if I didn’t. Once I thought I understood his ability, I went in and he got down to 5%. So one more revive. He was much easier once I figured him out. Void just melts him.

USED 20 7* sig stones on crossbones from rewards.

Squirrel girl: 1 team revive [to revive warlock, crossbones, Ultron], 3 revives for crossbones. She probably should be easy, especially with the constant ruptures being purified by CB, but I just can’t do his rotation well and keep up the furies.

Silver Centurion – Guilly 1 revive [finished with crossbones as Silver ended with 23,000 hp on her second fight and I needed raw damage] I knew that I had to do well on this as otherwise it’d be a long time, and I didn’t want to waste my 100 starting charges gift. So I watched MSD!! He was actually the first video who came up. I was worried because I couldn’t find another video, so after watching him, I was like no way can I do that. But his advice really worked with the AI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVOBjmsFQlA His advice was to throw your combos and then immediately hold block, unless you had a sp1 ready to chain. SC would then wait there, and you just had to be ready to dodge his heavy. He didn’t throw a sp2 until he was at like 65 vengeance charges. I’d really suggest watching it. First run got him down to 40% I think. I thought I was in trouble, but he let me build up my combo again with the revive AND max heal.

Spidey99: 2 team revies, 12 [or maybe way more as he was so frustrating I didn’t keep count]. Crossbones was my main person, but I had a hard time managing his power gain. I have a difficult time dexxing his specials because I’m normally far away when he throws them, and he always seemed to clip me when I dashed back. I’d suggesting looking to another thread or post for ideas and not from me.

Sunspot – Guilly [3 revives, last one was at 3% health]. I would hit him when he had no solar flare charges, and then just wait for them to expire. I’d be at sp3 by then, but it let me build up my combo faster rather than waiting them out. It also helped that Sunspot freely threw his specials so I didn’t have to worry about power drain.

I've also done the worthy Gods one, which I'll get up tonight.

I haven't seen this infographic until just now too while searching up the name of this challenge for the title. Maybe it will help. Or maybe you've already seen it and I just missed it on the forums from Cat Murdock.

    This is the last challenge I have to do. If I don’t have crossbones should I attempt with a r1 Guillotine? Have to get her from the supply drop tonight. It seems like a r1 should be fine from what you said. Also, do you think a 7r2 unduped ultron can do as well against Ibom? I realize I won’t be able to get that Absorption regen.

    You use cb mainly for spidy99 and squirrel Girl, Shang chi and moleman can do these fights as well and much better.

    Guilly cna do ibom really well and make sure to use warlock synergy for extra power gain whenever you are inflicted with poison

    I liked Ultron because I'm a scrub and will take Regen (especially 2 +25% degens) whenever viable. And if I don't have to keep a combo, I'd prefer not. But yes, guilly should be fine. But between the two, I'd probably take a r2 Ultron. But don't quote me too much on that. @Cloudddey_bro

    Here's a good guide too by Grootman who just finished his. https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/383646/my-god-mode-carinas-challengers-necropolis-challenge-run#latest

    I did forget one thing about Silver Centurion which is WAY important. Activate one prefight, the one that power drains. This does a good job of keeping him below sp3 just slightly so he doesn't throw it.

    But you can also keep both prefights like Grootman did for a larger power drain. But I didn't and I personally wouldn't suggest it. Jubs was good without activating it, but I may activate it if I ever had to run it again.

    Jubilee: Guilly99 – 2 revives. Should have only been 1, but I forced quit when she was at like 6% health so I could finish her with a sp3. However, I launched the sp3 when she has 2% health, and damage cap is at 1.5%. It doesn’t bypass so revive wasted.



    Wtf, I thought guill-99 kills anyone who is at 5% health, big yikes from Kabam.

    I thought it worked in Abyss or LoL, so now I have to go back and try it. I could have sworn it passed the damage cap on them. But I also make stuff up some times so maybe I misremembered.

    It never worked when there is damage cap . It even explicitly states that in her kit

    Again why you didn't use this massive synergy with og guilly?


  • captain_rogerscaptain_rogers Member Posts: 9,986 ★★★★★
    Also, can I just use r1 guilly for the challenge provided I have mediocre skills?

    Considering that my Guilly was r1, yes you can.

    As for your synergy question, her degen doesn't do that much damage so I didn't want to take up a slot. Also, I wasn't sure how difficult the iBom fight would. Be so I brought synergy partners (Ultron and warlock) to help with that fight. I would have had to give up a slot for one of those two, which I didn't want to do.

    Edit: 1.5% is the damage cap for necro regardless of rank, but is it usually safe to "slow play" them until 1% health before you throw your sp3 to carry your combo or do you run the risk of killing them at 2%? Since by that time shes doing so much damage.

    Maybe if you just parry and tap 1 light and repeat you can be safe to not accidentally kill

    @willrun4adonut

    Does unduped 7* void work for diablo?

    I have

    7* rank 2 xbones sig 40
    7* rank 1 unduped guilly 99 ( from calendar )
    7* rank 1 warlock ( just pulled him recently )
    7* rank 1 sig 60 hawkeye

    I can rank 2 one of them ( most probably guilly )

    Don’t wanna rank up 6* void or og guilly both are rank 1

    That degen damage doesnt scale with her combo meter right?

    Og guilly i heard also takes Diablo effectively so she might be better for me personally since shes 6* r3 and my void is a 5* r5 ascended (i know @Ebony_Naw used a 5* void too, and didnt have issues with the significant decrease in charges from the low rarity)

    So when do you launch sp3 for an r2 guilly if r1 takes 1.5% health?

    1.5% is damage cap of necropolis that’s why she can’t do 5%

    She will do 1.5% at any rank

    Her degen damage scales until 100 combo, after that it won't have any effect, but my r1 guilly no boosts deal 450 per tick, the synergy would ne nice to have but not necessary then.

    Yeah that seems more beneficial than WL synergy since that's only helpful for iBom assuming youre not running recoil masteries which you shouldnt be anyway since g99 spams sp1

    My xbones r2 but thinking of r2ing shang as well if hes better than xbones (dont have moleman as a 7* unfortunately)

    I'm planning to run a team of guilly99, shang and void as attackers. Warlock and guilly og for synergies. I have r2 shang so he's enough for spidy and squirrel Girl.

    I was just parry heavying I believe, but not 100% sure if it was that fight or another.

    Don’t recommend Shang for any fight other than Spidey. Guillotine easily solos squirrel girl. You’ll have to worry about a lot using Shang for that fight
