My GOD MODE Carina's Challengers Necropolis challenge run

Grootman1294 · December 15

Welp, I promised this one would be pretty crazy in my last guide, and I'm not kidding. Strap in as I (finally!) write about my experiences with the Carina's Challengers run!

Once again, usual disclaimer that these guides won't go too into detail regarding the necropolis specific nodes. Check out my first clear guides for more details.

The Squad:
7* R2 sig 40 guilly 2099 with 4* vision relic
7* R1 unduped crossbones, no relic
7* R1 sig 20 falcon, no relic
7* R1 sig 60 void, 3* spidey 2099 relic
6* R5 sig 200 ascended mole man, 5* BP relic

The Stash:
11823 units
20 L1 revives
6 L2 revives
5 L3 revives
432 free crystals
Bunch of L4 and L5 potions from opening some free crystals before the run

Masteries:
Same setup as for my previous challenge runs, had max despair for void. Was also running the 30 minute attack, health and champion boosters after my first try on jubilee

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT USE THE GUILLY 2099 PREFIGHTS. You will need these to power drain on your sp1 which is critical to a lot of fights.

Journey to Sunspot:

Jubilee is insanely easy with guilly 2099 provided you have the right strategy. Basically, you don't want jubilee to throw a single special attack as it will give her the fireworks surge and consequently the annoying power gain. Do 4 hit combos and hold block immediately after, then either reparry or bait a heavy to get an opening. Use sp1 when jubilee is close to or at a sp3 to keep her power controlled, then just rinse and repeat until someone dies. 1 revive spent here, solo is absolutely possible if you are fully boosted on the first try.

Ibom is also quite easy. Basically, you want to push him to sp2, then bait it out to trigger the toxic aura and consume his poisons. If he gets too many self poisons, you get acid burned and probably get rekt. Use sp2 to rapidly build your damage and you should absolutely melt this guy. Solo with guilly 2099.

Diablo is a joke. Use void, reverse his healing from the sp1 (don't punish it so that you can also reverse the regen he gets from drinking), and play around the concoctions. Easy solo here.

Squirrel Girl is also very easy. Time your knockdowns so you don't get too many ruptures, spam sp2 and win. Solo with guilly 2099.

Silver Centurion is also quite easy with guilly 2099. Use the same strategy as on Jubilee to play around lock on and you'll be good. Fairly close solo here.

Spidey 2099 is easily the hardest fight on the path. You can't use guilly since you won't survive too long because of the ruptures. I threw xbones, void and falcon at the guy and took off around 20%, then I went absolutely ham with mole man. With mole man, enter frenzy asap, then take advantage of the sig ability to deal big damage while unstoppable. I would block a hit, then throw a heavy to get a big juicy crit, and I also threw my sp2 while unstoppable to deal big damage. Keep frenzy up and just keep nuking until you die. 2 revives spent here, expect quite a bit more if your mole man isn't max sig or high rank.

And lastly, Sunspot was easy. Just don't use specials while nova flames are active and it's a ridiculously easy fight with guilly 2099. Got a solo here to finish things off.

And that's it! Pretty sure that's the cheapest necro half path I have ever done!

The Final Cost:
3 L2 revives
Quite a few L4 and L5 potions
10 free crystals
Couple of 30 minute boosters, I was working that day so I didn't have time to use the 1 hour ones.

The Rewards:
Pulled nova from my titan crystal. F*ck.
Pulled lady deathstrike from my 7* basic crystal. Not bad at all.

Final Thoughts and Tips:
1. BOOST. Most of these guilly 2099 fights definitely would not have been solos if I wasn't boosted, push her damage as much as possible during this challenge!
2. For the guilly 2099 fights, try to end a fight with an sp3 so you can cut down on your ramp up in the next fight. However, it's totally fine if you can't, I wasn't able to get a single sp3 off once lol.
3. If you don't have mole man ranked or duped high enough, I reckon a duped, high rank crossbones can also work for spidey. Do be prepared to spend some revives there though.
4. Falcon was absolute filler this run, so you could bring in some other high rank attacker if you wanted to.
5. I already ran the God/Cul's Worthy challenge, will post a guide here soon! Spoiler alert, we got some pretty crazy fights in there as well...

Thanks for reading, hope this helped y'all!

Why the low relics? I'm sure you must have had 5 and 6* one. That's also insane. Your skill level is way better than mine.

Purely out of laziness lol, didn't feel like rebinding them off my top characters.

Also I forgot to mention you'll probably run into a Golden Deadpooloid at some point during the run. Take him with guilly 2099 (or mole man if it's before spidey 2099) so you have a much better buffer for your damage.

And here I was strategizing which relic was the best for which champs, should I use a duped 5* or 6* unduped, etc. I probably spent twenty minutes each run looking at relics.

Honestly you just need some relic on your attackers so that you can get the bonus charges in necro. Really don't think the rarity made that big of a difference

Patiently awaiting the dimensional beings write up being the last one I need. Does the guilly dupe for 2099 matter here?

Guilly absolutely works unduped, it's just that the dupe provides a good safety buffer should you get hit. Even then if you build your combo shields via the heavy attack it shouldn't make any sort of difference provided you are playing well.

And don't expect that dimensional beings guide a while lol. Heard a lot of bad things about that challenge and I want to actually build a good item stash before I go in

Higher star rarities fill the spirit gauge quicker, so you can extend the vengeance timer more. I needed every second. As I can't Dex well when rooted.

Wait that's a thing? Damn, guess I'll have to put some thought into relics after all lol.

Yep. You could have done an item less run. Wanna do it again?

Nescio · December 15

I'm able to confirm Crossbones works great for S99 if you have no Moleman like me. If you just keep heavy countering his sp1 and get a big fury stack and then enter overrun to ignore all positive physical resistance you can do some great damage, I'm talking upwards of 100k heavies if you get enough fury's.

Only if you do it first

I just finished my run and had to use Shang for Spidey. Granted he is 7r3 but I only spent 3 revives which isn’t too bad. Definitely recommend mole man or crossbones for sure

JoSpidey_10 · December 15

Should i r2 xbones unduped or g99 sig 20? i may be able.to do this as i have unduped void r1 and can take mole man to r5.

Guilly easily. Mole man definitely needs a high rank for this, and void ideally needs to be duped and high sig (use a 6* if you need to)

JoSpidey_10 · December 15

alright. and i have no falcon, not even 6*. who could i use? and based on what u said, g99 can take almost every fight?

Yes she can. As long as you can hold a combo (or use heavies to increase combo shield).

I'd personally r2 crossbones as I won't use guilly99 after this, but I do occasionally use crossbones. If you don't care about future use of champs, though, then guilly.

JoSpidey_10 · December 15

alright. and who to replace falcon?

Grootman1294 · December 15

Every fight except Spidey 2099. Bring mole man or xbones for that one

Grootman1294 · December 15

JoSpidey_10 said:

Literally any damage dealer you have ranked from the pool of champs. Falcon is pure filler on this team

Can I just bring shangchi instead of the three skill champs for spidy99 (and possibly squirrel Girl). Don't know why you brought 3 skill champs instead of warlock and og gully, who have great synergies with guilly 99 that you can take advantage of

Shang chi could work, it's just going to be annoying because of the huge amount of resistance Spidey gets. Also yes, I probably should've brought in those synergies but I honestly forgot lol.

Speaking of Shang Chi, would 7*r2 work better than. 6*r5a Mole man? I'd rather not put the r5 resources into 6*, but if it'll save resource or time. I'll do it

JoSpidey_10 · December 16

Maybe shang chi to help reduce block damage unlike moleman where u have to parry or block for unstoppable, but I feel like mole man can do the damage quicker. Thats my opinion tho. I don't know too to whether r5 my r4 shang chi or r3 mole man

Mole should be easier for most people. With Shang, you’ll need to shrug off wither, remove power gain, reset charges, in hope of a big payoff sp2 that might not crit.

Maybe you are talking about an effect in the fight, but Shang Chi's sp2 is assured to crit.

Shang is more widely available as a 7* than moleman.
