I did the non damage debuff path with sentry(r3), photon(r3) and silk(r2) all 7*s. Used sentry for nebula(easy) then photon for northstar(medium) she’s really good cause her mediums can’t miss. Then crushed destroyer with silk(easiest) extremely simple can also use sentry here cause his damage back doesn’t seem to work with the node so you don’t take rupture damage. Then used photon for photon could have been a very easy solo but got interrupted by a notification and died instantly😂 then revel her again and got it done. This one really depends on skill one advice is don’t throw special while u have petrify that way u won’t mess up when throwing special and accidentally drop to zero power. Then came Adam used sentry u need someone with buffs. I used 3 revs could have most definitely been a solo but all depends on ai and keep baiting sp2 easier to punish with heavy. There are probably better options than sentry cause he took massive barb damage cause he gets like 20 buffs. Then aaegon I just everyone cause I forgot how to fight him. Don’t try to party him from start I forgot and died a useless death try to get him to sp2 easier to punish and save specials for root. Silk worked like a charm cause u can heavy in her combo.overall used 2 team revs cause I was messing around.

Now the main event. The difficulty went up through the roof with this fight. I used photon for him cause she was atleast a bit tankier than the rest of the team. U can forget about all those vids on YouTube with pause technique or notes. I tried both got used to his sp1 after 4-5 deaths. U can try pausing to read notes but it’s really hard to evade afterwards. I couldn’t get it maybe you can depends on people most of my alliance mates couldn’t get it done with pause.
Then got him to 2 phase. So what’s next ????? Absolutely terrible game design work. I couldn’t get a single complete sp2 evade in the whole run not even 1. All I could hope for was him to throw sp1 cause that was easier. All the tips saying notice the eyes for colour didn’t work. Let me be honest I am a normal f2p valiant player not too overly skilled like msd or the pros. All I could do was try to focus on all the things going on the fight and still mess up. I just revived my way through the phases with each phase making it even harder to get the sequence right with them speeding up. I didn’t really care about the phase where you have to do actions after special cause I was not getting through those specials perfectly 😂. And so after all that I hit the final phase thankfully the final phase felt balanced cause his immortality is persistent charge based so just use team revs and keep intercepting. On good runs I could take 25 charges off in one go before even facing his sp2. All depends on ai .
Overall I must say at the end of the day I really Really like the character design and fight mechanics even after dying so many times. But the single thing they have to change is indicate which special he will use next before the special. That will change it from an impossible mess to actually really difficult but fun fight. Where you still have to learn how things work and adapt to his special and their speed change.
The crystal opening was okay kind of got shocker for first time from tech 7* I love him but needs awakening and sig so have to wait for a while. And pulled spiral from the titan for the 4th time 🥲. I have opened 5 or 6 of these new titans and have pulled her 4 times I know her sig is good but I had already invest a lot in her.
