    I think it depends on how hard Ares is. If he’s worse than Necro grandmaster, I’m in trouble

    necro Gm was okay though. A great well designed fight. Nameless collector though...that's a damn douchbag mf i despise and never wanna see again
    What r u smoking lol necro gm is the worst fight in the game atm , even if its primarily due to his AI . People were dropping 20-30 revives on "easy" carina challenges in the wong and deathless runs just because of GM
    You've never done abyss collector have you?
    Even MSD said that's the hardest fight in the game currently, ans that's coming from MSD, lol

    I've never done abyss collector, don't get me wrong, but I do have issues with mecro gm in phase 3 for sure. That phase coat me just as much as the whole path did when I did the deathless carinas run. 😪😰

    I probably did it before most on the forums as thats how i became thronebreaker and r3ed doom, but i forgot what the fight is like. Abyss is just so irrelevant nowadays though so that added into my response, meanwhile Kabam feels the need to add GM into almost every single content. Not only have we had it in act 6, necro, but we've had it in previous "gauntlet style" content

    They said even if u die u stilll get damage so its a win win
    If you know, can you explain to me what that means? The phase doesn't reset or something, or your death becomes a sacrificial offering to Ares who rewards you with pity damage?
    basically, the way they said it is that ares respects a summoner for trying, and provides them with extra damage, the more deaths the more damage, basically revive through
    So skill now equals units. Got it.

    I will be first to say “Unit issue” when the complaints start rolling in.
    It can still be soloed its just those that arent as skilled can still get through it as hes still gonna increase ur damage which is a win

    Thanks for this graphic.
    The path on the left basically tells me that I need to rank up my 7 Ghost Spider asap.
  • SquammoSquammo Member Posts: 592 ★★★


    Great graphic. Just to be sure, though: The outer paths go into the two in the middle, right? So we have to do the outer paths 1 time each, but the inner paths we have to do two times each. Path 2 with science/tech and skill/cosmic and path 3 with skill/cosmic and mutant/mystic.

    The 2’s and 3’s are seven star gates?

    As per my initial completion plan ,
    6r6 serpent
    7r1 odin
    7r3 vox

    my plan is to do the cassie path with this team. Serpent will do cassie( haven't tried yet but should work),prowler,and heimdall.
    For gwenpool, will use a mix of odin and serpent. Similar for iron fist.
    For toad, thinking to use vox as I did during sos.


    IS this looking good? Any suggestions for different fights and options will be welcomed.

    Do we know what the ares fight consists of? How can we plan otherwise?
  • MrSakuragiMrSakuragi Member Posts: 5,998 ★★★★★
    We need to use one of each class listed on the paths? Or can do multiple of one class and none of the other?

    Can anyone suggest me a skill/cosmic counter for destroyer? I'm planning to do the initial run on path 2 with skill cosmic roster since I need the cosmic r2 gem the most. My plan is to use vox for Northstar, nebula and maybe adam. Bullseye for photon and aegon, Need another skill/cosmic champ who does destroyer but I can't seem to find anyone who can do him.

    Fair enough. As I had said I have never done Abyss collector, but in a few MSD streams he said it was easily the hardest fight in the game, though you do bring up a good point that alot of people probably have never done it because it's outdated, me included.
    Necro GM I find pretty fun, but definitely not an easy fight at all.
    Looking forward to the new Ares boss he sounds like he's gonna be hard as hell.

    I wonder if there will be an optional swap before the ares boss.

    This is permanent content right?

    Probably worth mentioning to the people in this thread trying to plan out teams ahead of time that it was also mentioned on the stream that each path would have some sort of additional node attached to it as an extra challenge. I believe the example given in terms of difficulty was something similar to hurt locker. Doesn’t hurt to make a plan but I’d probably refrain from preemptive rankups until we know what we’re dealing with, in case one such node happens to render a champ unviable.
  • SquidopusSquidopus Member Posts: 774 ★★★★

    Can anyone suggest me a skill/cosmic counter for destroyer? I'm planning to do the initial run on path 2 with skill cosmic roster since I need the cosmic r2 gem the most. My plan is to use vox for Northstar, nebula and maybe adam. Bullseye for photon and aegon, Need another skill/cosmic champ who does destroyer but I can't seem to find anyone who can do him.

    Destroyer doesn’t really need a specific counter does it? The nodes give you built-in ways to keep its destruction charges low (root during sp1 so you can dex all three hits) and deal with its unstoppable dash (grit when punishing its heavy). Any skill who doesn’t spam buffs like Bullseye, Kate, or Masacre would probably do fine.

    When he was released initially all 3 objectibes an be done by debuff spamming science champs so I never really learnt him. I wasn't able to ded the first hit by root (I always maintain distance) and bullseye has a cruelty buff right? So he'll take rupture back damage.

    I'm slowly realising that I should've really put a sign on this infographic

    As long and the champ doesn't rely on any buffs/has any active buffs, they'll work for destroyer. Crossbones is an exception hu shuts off rupture damage back

    There isn't. There wasn't in the preview in stream and it's safe to assume it's the final build

    All of bullseye's personal cruelties are passive. The buff is from black panther relic. Use a different relic that has no buffs.

    Shang chi gets 4 precisions when resetting charges, very bad option

    He does have a cruelty buff in his base kit. He gets it when he is immune to a fatigue or precision effect, including the dex precision.
