Best Adam Warlock Replacement for Carina Challenge?

Did you have a lot of success with any of the below options? Or seen videos of them used on YT

All are rank 1, but can r2 if needed.

Vox or Knull, I think both are equally good.
Its on you, who you rely on more and can comfortably use for 3-4 fights on the easy path.

Which fights are you anticipating? Guardian and Sam?

vox dupe is just to make his damage a bit faster, duped knull is slightly better than unduped vox imo, but its all subjective and user's preference. His dupe also makes his damage a bit more sustainable and better but its not that much of difference and manageable.
His dupe is great to have but not necessary.

@Herbal_Taxman im taking the apoc path so no guardian, but sam wilson (i heard wong can do him) and psychoman mainly. I know people used adam for other fights too like caiw.

You don't need an specific op counter for Psycoman. Using a revive won't bankrupt you.
Every sother fight wong solos.

Adam cheeses gm phase3. And there's no replacement for him on that one.

Phase 3 has me the most concerned. My best option is a 6* photon and i know @Oakenshield had a rough time with his r3.

@SirGamesBond would r4ing a 6* Adam still be good for phase 3? Last time i r4ed a champ for content was the zemo challenge lol (didn't even do it for avengers one)

Vox because knull's damage is too low.

You're gonna use vox for psycho and probably, sam.

Vox is better than knull for psycho since he's immune to power lock and his abilities have 300% chance to trigger, so most of them won't fail against psycho, and even if it fails, you can freely launch specials to complete his missions.

Against sam, vox dupe is irrelevant anyway since you don't wanna hit his block (he inflict ruptures). So vox is the clear better choice.

Don't look forshortcuts against GM third phase. Just play along his missions and heal up full, if you're decent against reverse controls you can easily do it. Or just dance around with Wiccan, A year ago during my original run, I took him to wounded phase just by dancing around with a 6* r3 wiccan.

I don't have adam and I'm going to use vox (mine's duped tho). Also if you have 7* ham he's better than photon for the mystics.

For phase 3 you can use your highest rank champ. Or throw a team revive and play around. The relics will take around 4% health everytime since each relic hit does max damage (125k), so you can throw a team reviveand just dance around until you can load relic.

SirGamesBond

Just use big 30% boosts.
R4a Adam and 10 revives.

There's R5 generic gem in normal monosloueloeueme quest.

Would you recommend 6* adam over 7* vox/knull. I thought wong was the only "must have"? Others can be substiruted right ?

The_beast123

monosloueloeueme.

What does that even mean?

@Polygon I ran the deathless challenge yesterday and just used DV for phase 3. The degen won’t kill you, it’ll just take you down to 1%. Since GM is gaining power automatically you can still get openings. What I would do is save my special for when he calls out knock me down and then do a special intercept to complete the challenge. I think it took two revives. Much, much better IMO than trying to manage the reverse controls… I am going to try and repeat this with Wiccan for the Wong challenge.

Yes but if you get party mission twice or more you're done. It's risky but can be done.

Herbal_Taxman

lol, party mission is an apt description of phase 3.

Lol typo I meant parry

Besides the parry, being at 1% can be problematic i feel with things like dropped dex inputs or if he doesnt throw his sp1 and corners you . @captain_rogers @Herbal_Taxman

I do remember i did it with juggs in phase 3 for necro exploration though. I cant remember how bad phase 3 was with RC immune

Polygon

So i just duped vox, which i assume makes him the best now from these, but is it still worth bringing him if he'll be ass for Grandmaster? Since red damage which is his main source wont do anything
