Professor X the goat, don’t know how many Season of Suffering bosses he’s soloed for me. Clears the psychic shielding + size: m objective.
Since he ignores both miss and evade while above 25 channeling charges (aka almost always), you don’t have to bother playing around the bust a groove node and can just play mostly normally. Push Cassie to sp2 because the combo detonation debuff is annoying to deal with, and don’t dash back too much to avoid the crush debuff (although X’s falter means that you have a bit of a safety buffer if you mess up). The only difficult part should be managing the power sting from the node. Don’t get cocky about it, that thing ate over a third of my 7* r2’s health. If you have to forgo some specials during mind control or lose your prowesses to avoid the power sting, do it and just take it slow, X will get the job done eventually.
Edit i said I'm at 2k titan shards, I meant 2k away from a titan
Red Mags
Prowler
Red Skull
• R3 Red Skull
• R3 Negasonic
• 6R5A Mags
No solos 🤭😝
Tech objective was tricky, took me 5 revives using 7r2 ultron
Hero, 2024 objective was pure pain, 8 revives using 7r2 IronHeart (I tried to use patriot here thinking he might cook)
Here’s a unique one for those interested. Solo with 6* r4 unascended Northstar for the 2024 hero objective. Probably not the easiest or most optimal choice, but he’s actually pretty good.
The main benefit to Northstar is his multihits, which means you almost never have to respect the power sting node or Cassie’s combo detonation; a MLLLM combo already nets you 12 hits in the combo meter. His sig is also nice in that it lets you eat hits to block (or the face if you mess up with the crush debuff) pretty comfortably, although it shouldn’t be necessary if yours is unduped. Just avoid parrying except to trigger the pursuit/vigilance, throw a starting sp3, and then go into your usual sp2 into sp1 spam. My fight was slow because I was extra respectful of the timers, you can probably cut the time down with better play. Also no, his slow does not prevent the evade because of adamant axiom, you still have to play into the node.
Final note, if you want to do this and your Northstar doesn’t have a 5* or 6* Gambit relic attached already, attach it to him for this fight. The crit rating during specials is a really big boost to make sure all his prowesses and reverb remain paused so you can focus on playing around the nodes rather than Northstar’s own timers.
Villain & Tech: shocker solo. Took me a hell of a lot a tries but I got it done. Just a normal shocker fight except you’re playing it slower
Psychic Shield M: White Mags solo. Great for this as he turns off the evade and miss node, so all you have to worry about is pushing sp2 and getting rid of the power sting.
Hero 2024: Dust solo. Build to sp3, sandstorm, sp2, then sp1s for duration of sandstorm. Again be patient and watch that panic node
And the last solo. Didn’t get fancy with it, I have a r3 7* Red Skull and people here said he’s good, I’m not gonna not use him. Just spam sp1 for some damage since Cassie is shock immune and push her to sp2 while playing around the nodes. Skull is so bulky that you’re in very little direct danger, just watch the power stings and combo detonation. Boring but it gets the job done, I got the solo first try.
Trigger REVERSE, SP2 and repeat. At 7 resolve debuffs you can trigger REVERSE.
All worked really well.
My Red Mags is only 6r4 but still knocked it out of the park. If I hadn't accidentally thrown my SP3 just as the power sting activated, I would probably have gotten a solo. Cassie was already down to about 20%.
My Dust is r2 and worked surprisingly well. I haven't used her in this type of content before but she got Cassie down in a couple of revives.
Punisher 2099 was amazing. He has such good fight control that he can easily lock Cassie down for long stretches of time. The only thing to watch out for is that it can be really hard to push Cassie to her SP2 since you give her so little power, so you'll probably have to deal with her power detonations (or whatever they're called) from time to time. The upside is that you can usually hit her uninterrupted for quite a while before she reaches another special, so you have time to get rid of those detonations. All in all the easiest objective for me despite me thinking that it would be the hardest since I didn't have any of the champions that people suggested.
