The Ordeal is coming!

Well, hibernation was good while it lasted I guess. Y'all already know I'm jumping straight into this on the 12th.

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?

He can still do his thing even if he can't parry stun.
You can charge and throw his heavy into the void and get the self-bleed/degen cycle going.
Obviously riskier because you might get interrupted and eat a punch to the face, but he has that regen as mitigation...

Thanks. I’ll have to practice more. The few times I’ve tried it, the opponent gets aggressive and interrupts me before I’m able to complete the timer to self inflict bleeds. Glad to know I should expect to get hit from time to time.

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 to the fights for Onslaught?
I do not have him as a 7 star.

I need to restock my revives after epoch exploration, so looking forward to seeing what everyone uses.

I think it’s obvious to build my team around onslaught and serpent to do most of the work.

Nefaria can handle Dragon Man and Sassy.

I’m hoping Lady D can take Weapon X, Domino, and Apocalypse.

That leaves Vision, Mojo, Iabom, and Thanos for Deathless She Hulk.

Assuming the above is correct, the only big question I have is whether to sub anyone out for a 7r4 Deathless Thanos?

Sinister is good for Doom, Thing, Korg, Nightcrawler, Domino, Mojo, iBom. Can play him normally.

He can also take Nick Fury (need to pay attention to the amount of bleeds on Sinister, since Fury can convert them to Passive Bleed) and Killmonger (super slow fight, but super safe).

Great against Thanos as well.

Just wanted to update. So far with my current test run I can confirm Dazzler cheeses doom with high/max sig lol. Just a regular fight and all the glanced damage reflects back on him.

Cooking with gasoline rn, only spent 1 revive so far.

Of course I'll be making a guide for this, so far it's not looking terrible.

What do people think about using Jack instead of guardian for weapon x, domino, and apoc? My guardian isn’t awakened, and I don’t really have many other great counters. Jack’s r2 unawakened, but I’m considering taking him to rank 3.
