Has anybody tried 7* Purgatory, Shathra and Rintrah yet? This is the challenge I’m most nervous about and I recently got all 3 of those champs and wondered if they would be any good?
Purgatory might do alright. But fantman is really going to be the main workhorse. You also need kushala or you are roadblocked at the start and cgr helps alot too

Kush is only used for odin right? I don't have her and planning to run chavez and fam as mvps. Can I cook or Am I cooked?
And which fights cgr is useful for? I believe it would be tough to carry his rotation with reverse controls right?

Chavez can do Odin fine. It'll be a very standard Chavez fight. Chavez does BWCV too.
Cgr can burst down a lot of damage if you do the Aptitude rotation. But it's more if a Hail Mary and not a proper counter.

I don't think she can do it that well since he needs 6 buffs

I’ve been wondering about Purgatory myself since her souls ability theoretically means she gets stronger each fight. But it seems like the most useful one (Mutant) as at the last fight so it wouldn’t help.
I don't consider a marathon of 20+ minute fights a "challenge", but instead repetitious. 1 fight per path being an endurance challenge would be fine, but it should be just that... 1 fight.
I can just imagine a kabam employee/tester... Clock in for the morning... test one possible team for first half of a path of the dimensional challenge, take lunch, do the second half, call it a day.... Tomorrow should I try to test another team... or just shrink the pool because otherwise testing takes too long?
Do testers take shortcuts like only doing 15%, and seeing "yeah, that seems to work, I don't feel like doing that another 6 or 7 more times"? That's the only way I could see testing some of these challenges in under a few hundred hours.

Wow - this one was really unpleasant. A total slog and revive sink. I respect MSD’s content, but they really shouldn’t let him design any challenges any more.
Use Chavez, FAM, CGR, Cow, and Kushala. Couldn’t get Odin to enough buffs consistently with Chavez, so used Kushala. Chavez for BWCV, FAM for Shang Chi, CGR for Squirrel Girl, FAM/CGR for SC, FAM for Spidey, Chavez for Sunspot.
I enjoyed the first two challenges but not this one. Going to take a day off before I tackle the next one - need some recovery time after this one.

You've got to tell us how many revives!! @Oakenshield

That Spiderman fight might have actually been the worst thing I ever pushed through
Its why i think they should have more people check for obstacles/pain points for future everest content. Something shouldve been done for that fight, as it was a revive spam. No actual skill or strategy, yet somehow went un noticed
I used r2 kushala for odin solo. R3 spot for claire 2 revives. For shang Used kushala. Died, Used Chavez, died. Used cgr died. Used fam and wouldn't let him trow specials, took him to straight 40 % from 80%.
After that just fam for every single fight. no special method. Throw sp1 and sp2 whenever needed.
Squirrel 2 revives maybe 3 but I think 2 Centurion, 2 revives. S99 5 revives. It was completely AI rng run, good or stright up trash. Sunspot 1 revive. I used a team revive somewhere, it was absolutely not needed.
When I saw people using 30 revives on just s99, it became crystal clear that this is not a great challange. They need to understand, a majority of community is not good with reverse controls either. I'm decent with reverse controls but it certainly was stressful.
Can it be done without Chavez ? Which fight would be a problem without her ? And can kushala, CGR and Fantman do it just fine without her ? (I'd rather not rank up another 6 star after Wong)
Used fam and wouldn't let him trow specials, took him to straight 40 % from 80%.
What is the specific strategy here, because I'm thinking 4 hit combo hold block doesn't work due to the wushu strikes into the block? How did you manage the power drain timer?

Not finishing a combo with medium Or finishing with light. A lot of sp1s and timing sp2s with the 2-3 debuffs you have built, Slower combos to work with the timer. eating hits on the block. If he does a full combo he'll get stunned. I ate a couple here and there. The main point is not doing the massive damage, but keeping your power drains consistent throught the fights. The damage will add up.
Fam also have the damage from the node capped at 10%. He threw some specials, can't stop that from happening. Centurion threw many specials even while hard blocking. But all we have to do it to keep our fam cycle consistent.

Chavez is not necessary at all. She is great for claire. But you can throw a couple extra revives on claire with fam and kushala.
Fam is necessary to save items as a whole challange.

Wouldn't that be a good challenge? If yoy play well you can get it done nicely. Except for s99 I guess.
If you could get his charges removed, it would've been better. I did actually manage to get that done once by accident.
@Oakenshield did you used cow for any fights? And what's the rotation with cgr? Can I just use FAM for sgirl?
@captain_rogers I used Cow for 1-2 fights and didn’t find he was doing as well as FAM and Chavez, so didn’t use him any more after that. For CGR it was pretty much his straight rotation - get to SP2, make sure I had 5 cosmic judgements up to maximize armor breaks, go to town. This run was a revive fest for me so frankly was just trying to do as much damage as possible before getting KOd. It wasn’t pretty.

My run wasn't costly and you and I we both did alright. But I'm just looking at the players as a whole community. Just an observation on the reverse controls from different line chats. as an example, a 45 year old was not happy with a whole challange with reverse controls. I get it.
Msd provided help in the challenge. But he also tested it. Our mistakes costed us revives, if we can test strategies, I'm sure we could reduce our item usage too. With all that practice, it still costed him 10 revives and a team. Normal players don't have the luxury of testing, thus the item usage will be higher.
It was getting annoying when s99 was timing sp1 in between reverse controls timer and that was messing up the flow. I had to bait many sp1s. But I had good 4-5 minute runs. I don't mind the hard content. Planning is still the most enjoyable aspect.
@ Oakenshield did you used cow for any fights? And what's the rotation with cgr? Can I just use FAM for sgirl?
You better learn the aptitude rotation. It helps time to time. What I found that it was tricky with reverse controls. As you have a bait atleast 3-4 specials doing the setup.

Got clipped by an sp1 with 80 charges left .
