This is a vent post, just as a heads up.

I have never in my life hated a fight design more, than having to fight necropolis Wiccan- with champs who deal burst energy or DoT.
(The half path with the #God or #Culls worthy)
Genuinely, I get that it’s supposed to be hard- but I’ve now burnt upwards of 20 revives on him alone. It’s a complete toss up to whether Wiccan will actually let me do some damage, or if he’s just like “Nah, I’m gonna use my SP1 and regen 5% of my health” forcing me to quit out.
Please, PLEASE never design a fight like this again.

    Abs man handled it pretty easy. Maybe 1 revive? Who are you using?

    Titania also handled it very well for me.

    Full disclosure, I frickin LOVE titania and use her all the time and have her 7r3, but i think i did it with a single revive.

    Of course, none of this advice helps if you're already at the fight.

    Who are you using, and have you already brute forced the fight? These are the two questions that will help the most.

    Use MLLL hold block, he won't use sp1, he will use heavy, dex it then again MLLL hold block,
    Push him to sp2,
    Dex sp2 if you can then hit him, do this again and again,
    Win !!!!

    I used absman, he's tanky, is immune to his fire debuffs, can heal and also do nasty damage.

    But Hulk works also.
    On mutant challenge, I also used storm with stormX synergy, bit costly.

    For the gods challenge I used shathra since her atrophy made the regen short. In general I echo a lot of the same advice but for mutants I recommend onslaught because you can parry and then dex for incinerates which is free healing for you and puts neuroshocks on Wiccan so you can just cycle sp2s all day. Even a 6* onslaught works amazing on that fight.

    Hmm, I thought he was easy. Picking the wrong champs for a fight is a you problem, not a fight problem.

    Wiccan was the only fight that I soloed in this challenge. Got very lucky with the ai, good timing with the relic and stun chains and it was a couple minutes fight with rank 3 Hulk.

    This is exactly what I wound up doing, and Absman got him down. He just kept throwing his SP1 over and over- and I got impatient after doing one fight for only 10% of damage worth for 15 minutes. Lol

    See, I didn’t even bring Hulk. Though I probably should’ve. Haha.

    It’s definitely a fight thing when every single champ in the pool to choose from that you use for the challenge, all apply to wiccans crazy regen from his SP1.
    Did I make the best fight matchup choice? Definitely not. Let’s not act like that’s the only reason the fight didn’t go well though. It’s a complete toss up, to whether he lets you push him to SP2 or not.

    I have an R3 sig 40 Titania, but I was told she wasn’t the best for my run. I brought in
    R2 Odin, R6 Serpent, Abs, R3 Enchantress and I can’t remember my last champ.
    I think I may need to find some new friends. Lol

    Odin, Serpent, Abs, Enchantress and Juggs.
    Yes, I did eventually just brute force the fight.
    40 revives total across the run, but I hate long form content. I get bored too quickly, and can’t hold my attention span for that long.
    I wasn’t a big fan of being forced into necro, in order to get the 10th anniversary challenges done; but the hardest ones for my roster are done now.
