7* r1 Guilly
7* r1 King Groot
7* r1 Vision
Titania (solo): Super simple she hulk fight. Build trauma and throw whatever special you want, also keep fear up if you don’t wanna deal with the unblockable
Aarkus (solo): Even at r1, Guilly melts him. Took 13 whole minutes but she got him down, I’d recommend r2 for a smoother time though lol. Sp1 spam
Omega Sentinel (1 revive): Honestly had zero clue how to use thanos and didn’t read his abilities. Was super confused on how to get the armor break up and then I read the abilities and I was like ahhh. (Build the necrotic energy through counterpunch and stuff and heavy) so easy fight but didn’t know how to play it
Air Walker (2 shot): I should’ve brought Guilly here. She Hulk melted him to 30% but I took wayyy too much block damage. Guilly killed him pretty easily with sp1 spam and nice degen (and she regens)
Revived She-Hulk here
Cap Britain (2 shot): Brought Vision to see if he’d be ok, got her down to 49% which wasn’t bad but wow, he’s slow and annoying to play. She Hulk finished it pretty easily, would just recommend using her over vision
Wiccan (solo): This fight was like 3 mins flat with she hulk. Sp1 spam and don’t parry and he melts
Psycho Man (solo): Brought She Hulk here instead of the cosmics and she melted him. Just follow the prompts and your trauma damage builds
Apocalypse (1 revive): She Hulk rules here but I took too much block damage. Same as the other fights, if you can dex his specials you can solo
Tigra (solo): Started with a heavy to keep fear up so I won’t miss, easy fight. Just heavy occasionally and you don’t take rupture damage with she hulk so it’s super fun
Hercules (4-5 revives): I hate everything about this fight. His protections stack to insane levels, he fails your degens with infuriate and the block damage is insane. With a r1 I definitely think you’d have to revive a few times at least. I think he was winning intercepts he shouldn’t have multiple times and it’s such a slog, it was a pain to get him down. I was regretting not switching lanes lol. This was the only bad fight though
Cap Sam (solo): King Groot impressed me. He was only r1 doing massive bursts and massive incinerate damage. I built 10 armor breaks and threw the sp2 when I had the furies and he melted. Heavy to refresh the incinerate and you’re good
Dragon Man (solo): Wither from she-hulk controls the power gain, nothing special here. Just hit him and he dies
Cap IW (solo): She-Hulk punched him a lot
Nova (solo): She Hulk punched him a lot again, used sp2 for wither and that’s it
Grandmaster (2 team revives): I just threw everyone at him. Thanos and She Hulk did a lot and Vision finished off the reverse controls part
Overall other than Herc I had a ton of fun, She-Hulk is so good and it feels like this challenge was perfectly designed for the most part. Every fight can be soloed if you’re playing well enough and have then at r2 at least. Thanos was also fun when I got to play him and despite being unduped he put in a lot of work against the GM and Omega
It’s kinda crazy how good Guilly and KG are too with the team so I wouldn’t sleep on them either, Guilly was invaluable for a few fights and I would recommend r2 if you like her and want to have a better time
Vision sucked. Kinda sad but he was useless other than the GM part cause he’s reverse controls immune. None of the fights are really built for him, any other option has more damage and more reach so he’s just kinda there. Only champ from the bunch that I wouldn’t r2.
Took Thanos to sig 200 with the rewards and pulled a Jack dupe from my Titan nexus so overall a win!

Overall I thought the Deathless chase was fantastic. Were there a few requirements for deathless pieces I didn't enjoy? Sure, but it was something new, different and fun that they brough to the game in 2024.
used tree for sam
she hulk took everyone else just sp3 twice and keep baiting specials
ate guardian sp2 so it took up a revive
valk is a bit difficult but if you know how to handle the fight it's easy
just keep doing 4 hit combos to avoid the autoblock it's a lot better than doing no damage for some time when they dash at you ( herc fight is BS )
each hit of my sp2 was doing 60k-75k red damage after 10 armor breaks and 5-8 furies
you can use either of them I was comfortable using the tree as he is easy to play also has regen
Was thinking the same thing. Only thing is, I can't remember that Valk nodes & fight. Why is DVision good for her & a quick summary of how to play it? Thx
- block freely but her specials cost no power when launched
- her specials cost regular power but she will always have a pierce active so one block will kill you.
Division with thanos synergy has this prowler like ability where he power drains remaining power (upto only one bar though) when opponent throws a special. And the miss on parry allows you to get easy opening bypassing pierce. But his damage is too low that's the only issue.
Now I remember. Appreciate it. Guess it's a choice of Apoc & Herc or a slog against Valk. Decisions, Decisions...
just hit her block occasionally so she has pierce and her specials cost power
don't rely on the armor breaks to stick ( she purifies them ) just use sp2s
he has regen so you can tank one of sp1 hits occasionally

There's more posts floating around about it too.
It seems to be hit and miss. I had it last month on my Wong 10 year run. You can't see anything. I just didn't want to risk it and did Apoc for my deathless run.
But my goodness…phase 3 of the final fight is just beyond me and my skill set. Once I get the reverse controls down, trying to complete those particular prompts for whatever reason is just brutal. Think thanos is just going to stay at sig 100. There is only so much of that I can take before “challenge” becomes “screw this”
