Necro Advice Appreciated

I've finished EoP, so I think it's time for me to start Necro, and I figured I would try to do the 10 year challenge at the same time.
I was able to do a test run against Sauron a few weeks ago to ramp up Sentry, but I didn't keep going and haven't looked at the other fights and am honestly a little brain-fried.
I think just doing one or two fights a day is what's feasible for me at the moment, but I just don't want to start and get roadblocked by a node or champ I didn't plan ahead for.
So if anyone can let me know if I can field a sufficient team from these options and who they should be and who I need to rank up if necessary, that would be greatly appreciated.
Please ignore Wong because I have never played him or know how to use him at all.

Is there an easy primer video or written guide on how to use him for Necro?
Wong + Sentry would be pointless? Because I feel like, if I didn't R3 Sentry for Necro, why in the world did I R3 him??
Metal Sonic Dude and Nagase have good video run throughs with sentry too.
Build his spells with sp1 and refresh them with sp2, usually you can do 2 sp1 between each sp2
If your opponent uses energy attacks start with green spell, otherwise it’s up to you if you want to start with yellow or blue
If you decide to run it with Wong, take Wiccan if you have one. There’s a synergy that makes it easier to keep Wong ramped.
My account is pretty lagging since I don't really have 7*s , so I ranked up my 6* Wong and studied his rotations from watching video guides and walkthroughs made by Campo MC (Easy to understand overall guide), Normax (Highly recommended In-depth guide), and Grass MCoC (This guy is hilarious. I'm a fan now).
I'll be bringing this team:
7*R3 Photon (For Grandmaster)
6*R5 Wong
6*R1 Wiccan (For the spell duration synergy)
6*R5 Ironheart (For the reverse control part)
6*R4 Knull (In case Psycho-Man is giving me a hard time)
The awakening helps, especially if you want an early access to a blessing of choice, but it's definitely not necessary. I heard that if you want to take the Apoc path, being awakened is better because you can go blue immediately. You having an unduped 7* Wong will definitely a lot better because of the Necropolis charges since it's value is based on the challenger rating just like in Abyss. Having Chee'ilth will also make Titania easier for you.
I'm studying how to use Wong for a week now and my 6*R5 can take Titania to 60-50% in one go before the Necropolis charges gets burnt out. I'm gonna ascend him tomorrow when I get my primordial dust then I'm gonna pop 30% boosts once I go full path this Sunday. Already have a ton of revives. Update me if you decide to go, too! It'll be fun to have a companion.
But yeah, send me an in-game chat invite (same username as here); it will be harder with your 6s but you'll probably outskill me anyway.
I'm also going to start after the new side quest tomorrow; that will give me 13 days to do my run without missing out on that precious mysterium; losing out on apothecary will suck, but I can't knock this out in one evening, I'm no FSD (Friendly Sonic Dude).
Anyway, good luck, I think you got this. I'm going to try Sentry first but if it sucks, I'll just exit out and rank up Wong and try him.
The / options do same stuff.
Multiple threads on this one, read a couple and make your plan and follow.
Key words to search. 'wong guide' and '10 year challange'.
Why are you planning on taking the Sauron path?
And @Vendemiaire why the Titania path?
The Titania path is 'easiest', sure.
But if you want to be efficient (i.e. make as few runs through Necropolis as possible) then you might want to plan differently.
It sounds to me like you're both thinking of trying to do Necropolis and (eventually) explore Necropolis, and also complete all the associated Carina's challenges - is that right?
In which case, you want to extend your Mutants and Worthy/Gods runs to clear a full path each. It's perfectly possible for both those teams to clear through to GM; and both have reverse-control-immune options (Sinister and Juggernaut).
Eventually, if you make a full run with your #Ten Year Challengers, #Mutants, #Worthy/Gods and also with #Deathless then you've got four paths cleared, and only have two more required for full exploration.
The Mutants have to cover the Sauron path, and the Worthy/Gods have to take the Titania path. So why are you both thinking of doubling up, and doing one of those paths with your #Ten Year Challengers?
I'd suggest you're both better off taking your Challengers down the Mr Fantastic path.
Then for the second half of the run, take a look at the Mutants, #Worthy/Gods and #Ten Year Challengers in your roster and ask yourself "which path do these guys cover best?
Sure! I'll add you! Goodluck on your first try, too! Farm Revives on the Miles Morales variant for safety. I heard Sentry is good but Wong is definitely the MVP for this as I've seen from other's runs. We got this! I needed this advice. I'm taking the Titania Path simply because it's the easiest path and since I just came back from a 2 year hiatus, I really don't have a lot of 7*s and most of my rankups are lagging a lot, so doing the rest of the paths will take me some time to prepare. But if another path is viable, I can save the Titania Path for #Mutant. I actually explored Abyss along with Carina's Challenges vol. 2 so your advice lit me up!
What's the ideal path for #TenYearChallengers if I'm planning to explore it in the future?
Sauron path = clear with a Mutants team
With your #TenYearChallengers, you can choose whichever path you like. But the Mr Fantastic path is pretty straightforward.
Air-Walker is tricky; basically you have to constantly knock him down, and block (don't dodge) his SP1. You can use Wong, like you can for many options. Photon can be a decent option, as she mitigates his Power Gain pretty effectively. Wiccan is immune to Armour Break, which can prevent him taking Dark Tide damage.
Here's a really useful guide; although the person doing it took the Titania path, and you probably shouldn't: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/383165/new-challengers-approaching-my-10-year-carina-challenge-guide
There's a really good primer on how to use Wong, and you can find videos specifically about using Wong in the Necropolis, on YouTube.
He's worth practicing - really useful for clearing multiple path fights in the Necropolis, although not great against GM himself.
