Also made a quick update to my team, forgot serpent was a thing so he'll be replacing Bullseye in my run on Wednesday. Ran the gauntlet fully itemless using this team

Will this be harder than Epoch? How many revives should I save?
Should be hard but not harder than that as if u know the counters u be fine on this

A few of the fight stil going to kick with the large hp pull that’s sassy probably going to have close to 2m hp Terrax fight might be harder to do with onslaught like stumla did for hes gm run consider he did the old again he don’t hav ccp to test those things out

I expect serpent to put in a ridiculous amount of work

Bendy

For me im using this team most likely

Like im ready to use revives for mojo as no way hes being nuked fast when he gets so many charges so quick id expect to die to vision i expect to die to dm as aspect of evolution and possible korg

The problem with mojo is that the more you die the less prompts he needs to complete to start applying hater buffs. So once you start die enough things will get very nasty. I would be ready for a very very bad time since I'm not really seeing a good option for mojo on your team

Also as said im ready to take the deaths as the health pool and attack rating be the main pain for mojo

Okay, I actually did some planning for once, and I'm currently thinking this team, assuming the Ordeal has the exact same fights but tuned up, should be able to get through.

I'm currently running the gauntlet with this team, made it to BPCW itemless so far, so it's a good start

Any alternatives for Wiccan and guardian?

Any domino counter can replace guardian. So Prowler, Omega Sentinel or a duped Howard can serve as good alternatives. Just make sure if they are robots that they are immune to AAR so they can take apoc as well.

You need a terrax counter to replace Wiccan. So Wong and Sorceror Supreme can work. I also used Wiccan for BPCW but serpent can take that one as well as long as you are careful

So domino I got shuri and red skull , I have Wong, so is a team of (Wong, onslaught, red skull, deathless she hulk, bullseye) ok?

Not a bad team, though I would be a bit worried about BPCW since onslaught and she hulk don't have a fun time there. If you have Sorceror Supreme you could probably use her instead of Wong

Not her. I got kushala if that’s better

Revan0607

It’s not that I don’t have Wiccan or sorcerer, I have them at r1 but really hate those 2

Khellendros138

Would count nefaria be a good DSH option? He gets degen resistance so he should work against mojo right?

Depends on how big attack mojo is gonna have

I was thinking to try this team.

Thanks as always @Grootman1294 for the informative guides (or in this case pre-guide).

You answered one of my questions above already (can duped Howard sub in for Guardian).

My other question is around Onslaught. I haven’t ranked my 7* unduped Onslaught since I’ve got a max sig 6*R5A, but obviously that doesn’t help me here. I also don’t have a 7* Serpent. So, I’ll probably do what you did and bring my R3 Bullseye, but for Onslaught I’m wondering how important the dup and high sig is for this run? I could potentially awaken my Onslaught with either my Mutant Gem or my Generic from Epoch, although my current plan is to use the mutant gem on Dazzler. I may get lucky and Dup Dazzler on the Titan change over tomorrow, in which case the Mutant gem for Onslaught becomes an easy choice. However, if that doesn’t happen I’m trying to figure out how important his dup is for this run. I can see R3’ng him given how good a champ he is, but not sure if I also want to use a generic on him.

Onslaught doesn’t need dupe, all it does is block unblockable specials from skill champs so if you’re confident dexing, don’t need it

Thanks. Honestly I may just bring my max sig Sinister. I’m about to R4 him anyway and frankly I’m more effective with him than Onslaught, and it seems like he might be able to do a number of the fights.

IMO, Serpent is always a better option than Bullseye unless you have to deal with power sting or you really need Bulls’ evade to get openings. Serpent gets permanent miss / evade counter after the sp1, he’s tanky as hell and if the fight is dicey you can just dance around and wait for your power gain when you need a knockdown. Plus he ramps, so he will be hitting hard against 1.5-2M health pools

Wolf911

will this team work for ordeal?

sinister rank 4
she hulk rank 2
others rank 3

please keep in mind that I haven’t done any run of Grandmaster’s Gauntlet

He does way more damage as he has 33% daunted potency.

33% increase to the 15% daunted. So at max daunted, the 150% total becomes 200%

wish the rewards were better hoped for a r2-3 gem or at least a 1-2 gem

People are mentioning taking in Mister Sinister, but to me at least, there are a good amount of fights where you can't stun or the opponent is unblockable. I'm not well versed with Mister Sinister, and for example I struggle even with a vanilla Attuma matchup due to spacing and timing concerns.

Is there a strategy with Sinister to play around this, or are there specific fights that Sinister is going to be used for?

50% increase is ALOT, that's like explaining how sales went from 150% to 200%
