Decided to knock out the 10 year challenge objective today and (hopefully) have some good luck from the titans. Went in with about 10 revives and only 160 units to my name but I thought I could make it work lol. Also thanks to willrun4adonut for making his mini guide
My team:
Wong (7* r2)
Adam Warlock (7* r3)
Photon (6* R5A)
Wiccan (7* r2)
Black Cat (7* r2)
Titania (solo): Had to learn how to play Wong. What I gathered was that I sp1 again and again to gain his blessing things, switch blessings by ending with a light, get them all to 3, then drop big sp2’s to refresh. Imo this was the worst fight on the path cause of the weakness and haymakers
Aarkus (solo): The coldsnap tickles and you regen a ton. Same strategy with Wong, just have to be mindful of the power gain
Omega (solo): She autoblocks but you can throw unblockable specials and you heal a ton so the incinerate does nothing to wong again
Air Walker (solo): Block the sp1, same ramp with Wong and you’re good to go (just make sure to knock him down regularly)
Cap Britain (solo): You can straight up block her specials and still come out with full health. Nothing special here (Wong doing Wong things)
Wiccan (solo): just don’t let him throw sp1. Wong heals a ton and kills him fast
Psycho Man (solo): Honestly didn’t feel comfortable using Wong here so I used Adam. Did the 3 fury rotation and I was hitting 50k mediums and my specials slapped hard. Favorite fight for sure
Apoc (solo): Blocked his specials and just healed. Nothing special here
Tigra (solo): This was actually pretty difficult. Your lights can whiff which is annoying. I pushed her to sp2 so she wouldn’t get her senses back and just built up my spells. Then I baited whatever special, threw heavy for power gain, and spammed sp2
Herc (2 revives): The first big annoyance of the run. He gets so much protection and his rooted specials hit hard. I was able to heal some of the damage back but he stalls forever and I found Wong annoying to build up here. I’d definitely familiarize myself with the node better to remove the protection faster
Cap Sam (1 rev after the fight): He autoblocks and his AI would not throw sp1 easily. Killed wong with an sp2 and I brought in Adam to finish him
Dragon Man (1 rev after the fight): Everything was going great until he refused to throw his sp2 and one shot with an sp3 when he was at 7%. Photon finished him off
Cap IW (solo): Adam cooked him. Did the 3 fury rotation
Nova (solo): Don’t throw the sp2 after getting the unstoppable since nova reduces damage from unblockable. Other than that pretty straightforward with wong
GM (one team revive): Threw everyone at him and got him to phase 3, revived everyone and brute forced phase 3 with Adam without even completing the prompts, finished with Wiccan for the final phase
Overall a decently fun time. Wong got a little monotonous for me but it was still cool seeing how insane he was
Rewards:
Hyperion awakening (very happy)
Blade awakening (why)
New Prowler (incredible again)
BRB dupe (I have no use for him lol, would have taken a lot of other champs over him)
Now I gotta do the Carina’s challengers one. Idk if I should rank prowler unduped but I’m tempted cause he’s fun

Did u use Black Cat at all?
Black cat was just there for moral support haha. She did help with the GM when I threw everyone at it but she was more of a filler slot, I wasn’t sure how I’d use her in Necro
It will be very difficult, but I have hope in the captain. Good luck
My Adam is R1 unduped, and I’ll admit I’m not at all proficient with him. Too much muscle memory around occasionally blocking often messes me up. I’m thinking about bringing my R1 duped Gamora instead as frankly she is alot easier for a mid player like me.
Curious as to your thoughts on that? I’m primarily looking at the cosmic for PsychoMan and to help on GM. Anything about Adams kit that makes him a cheat code for those two fights even if you completely stink at him? Honestly I’d rather have less stress but easy even if it costs me a few more revives.
1. Easy special baits with the taunt. Very easy to get the AI to do what you wanted and there was room to parry or even loss your counter! You can go sp3 and get the massive fury anyway so even if you mess up he still hits hard
2. The unblockable openings were very nice against the GM especially. You can just punch straight through and get a lot of damage in and he also rarely doesn’t throw his sp1
3. The pod. Mine is duped so I get some regen too but even if I messed up I was eating specials left and right and not taking damage
Gamora is definitely simpler and if you can keep her damage going she could be good. I personally think Adam if you’re unconfident about the GM 3rd phase could be the better option. If you max boosted you’d get some good damage and easy openings, and he’s very aggressive as well
Vox is unawakened, Knull is sig 40. All of them are rank 1
Congrats!!
