    Photon, Vox, Wiccan, Sentry and one other, or if you want it on easy mode, Wong.

    So Wong doesn't need the dupe for Necro?
    Nope, it is helpful but not needed

    Just curious… does Wong’s sig ability take care of Grandmaster’s indestructible and immortality in phase 4?

    Just curious… does Wong’s sig ability take care of Grandmaster’s indestructible and immortality in phase 4?

    No. They aren't buffs.

    And you can pretty much forget about getting Wong's rotation going, since - well, it's the Grandmaster, and he wants you to play by his rules...

    So, Titania path = clear with the #Worthy/Gods team
    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.

    Hi, your advice was really really really helpful but... I downloaded every detail of the Titania-Apocalypse path on my brain last weekend and got started learning Wong since then. Last night I got a little drunk then I did the side quest for the Primordial Dust to ascend Wong. After that I got impulsive and did the path as I have memorized it. I'm still not finished tho because I fell asleep. Lol.

    Team: 7*R3 Photon, 6*R5(A) Wong, 6*R5 Ironheart, 6*R4 Vox, 6*R1 Wiccan

    ・Titania (Wong) - 1 revive. Got her down to 30% before the Necro charges was gone.
    ・Vision Aarkus (Wong) - Solo. Started on 1 Orange then immediately ramped up Greens. Occasional SP3.
    ・Omega Sentinel (Wong) - 1 revive. Got her down to 5% then I ate an SP3 to the face. Pretty simple fight since the stun from the Autoblock isn't that long.
    ・Air Walker (Wong) - 1 revive. Got her down to 20% then I ate an SP3 to the face. I learned that you must always block (not dex) the SP so there's no Dark Tide.
    ・Captain Britain (Wong) - Solo. Wong can't die here.
    ・Wiccan (Wong) - 2 revives. Pretty annoying since you have to always push him to an SP2 to prevent him from healing.
    ・Psychocreeplord (Everyone on the team) - 2 Team Revives, 5 Solo, a handful of potions. I should have prepared for this fight more. Lol.
    ・Apocalypse (Wong) - 2 revives. Ignored the node. Pretty simple fight but I ate combos here.
    ・Tigra (Wong) - 1 revive. Really easy fight. Got her to 10% before I ate an SP3.
    ・Hercules (Wong) - 4 revives. Annoying fight.

    I'm gonna finish the rest tonight. I should have went a different path like you said but I got impulsive. Lol. I'm definitely gonna finish a path with the other Carina's but it'll take a long while before I do a Necro run again. I'm gonna focus on Epoch of Pain exploration first. I only have 30 7*s though, so that too will take a while. Lol.

    But, thank you a lot. Really. I'm still gonna plan my other paths like you said.

    So I finished Necropolis #10YearChallenge. The first phase of the Grandmaster was easy but damn, the 30% was tough.




    Rewards were good but not great. Got Symb Supreme from the Titan. Emma, VtD, Shocker, and Sunspot from basics. Got a Mystic 2-3 that I might use on Juggs.

    I still got a ton of revives left so I did my 2nd path of Epoch. Already finished Path 1, so I did Path 2. Got something good.





    I put all my sigs on my Prowler. Waiting 7*s for the rest of the paths for me now.

    Congrats! @Vendemiaire
    I didn't know you hadn't explored EoP yet, but it sounds like you can definitely do it. So I say go get your R4!
    I finally watched DLL's video on Sentry and read the kit and did the Jerkosaurus fight again.
    It was actually kinda fun, but my dexing wrist is so sore I will have to take a break (which sucks, because I play guitar too, makes me wonder if this game is worth it...but hey, at least I got Spider Punk's chord strums down; those 20 years of guitar practice paid off...).

    Anyway, I got Sentry up to 8 Reality Warps, wish it was 10, but this way I think I will start in Absolute Strength, so as long as I don't die immediately in any upcoming fight I should at least maintain the 8 throughout.
    I just have to figure out who to use on this little Monkey Merc next...


  • VendemiaireVendemiaire Member Posts: 2,242 ★★★★★
    I wish I can explore Epoch but my around 30 7* champs ain’t allowing me, too. Haha!



    I cleared Path 6 today with 6* Storm, 7* Juggs, and 7* Kushala. 3 out of 6 paths. I’ll brainstorm Path 5 soon, but Paths 3 and 4 is impossible with my abysmal Skill/Cosmic roster. Lol.



    Ohhh, you’re going in! Ohh, I see you are not going with Wong is Strong strategy! Sentry looks fun. Having 8 charges is actually good and pretty maintainable. That Hit Monkey is gonna sting a little but I know you can ace it! Goodluck on your whole run!

    Watch out for air Walker that boy cost me like 40 revives
  • TotemCorruptionTotemCorruption Member Posts: 1,981 ★★★★

    Watch out for air Walker that boy cost me like 40 revives

    I was thinking that Sentry can handle him because he's ramped and can do the medium into Heavy stun thing to keep resetting the Galactus Buff timer?
    I haven't tried the fight before yet....
  • Revan0607Revan0607 Member Posts: 310 ★★
    Wong can solo almost every fight in necro. Just focus on him
  • Revan0607Revan0607 Member Posts: 310 ★★

    Wong doesn’t need dupe. It maybe would shorten fight by a couple seconds if you need a specific spell to start off with.

    Who were you using? Sentry made that fight pretty much a joke...




  • TotemCorruptionTotemCorruption Member Posts: 1,981 ★★★★
    Necro ambush?? I almost had a heart attack there, thinking it was going to be like a full-on Necro ambush fight...

    Yeah, cosmic/skill could use some help on your roster, but you do have Elsa, whom I used a lot on those paths...

    That actually makes sense especially for Path 3! I’ll try to plan that for my next. How’s your run, btw?

    Free Attack Bonus for 2 fights if you kill it within a minute. Haha.

    It's going really well with Sentry actually. Maybe Wong is as good or better, but finishing some of these Necro fights in 3 minutes can't really leave much room for improvement. What's funny is that when I pulled Sentry from the Guardian box, I thought it was terrible luck because everyone on the forums said he sucked...

    Anyway, I'm up to Psycho man currently; only doing 1-2 fights a day as the wrist injury from all those Sauron dexes is still painful.
    And I also learned from rushing through the final two or three EoP paths that it's better for me to go slow and enjoy the process because quick completion can cause some anticlimactic depression...

    Keep me updated on your EoP journey; I'm excited for you to get that first R4 and the other loot!

    I've just finished this challenge today!

    I used Chee, Vox (hardly), Adam Warlock (godly), Photon (decent), and Wiccan (super good). No Wong, and got through it ok! I DID struggle with a couple of fights which I could've done with a decent counter to, such as Wiccan's healing, so I'd recommend someone else instead of Vox.
  • TotemCorruptionTotemCorruption Member Posts: 1,981 ★★★★
    Ok, I have officially completed my first Necro run and the 10 year challenge at the same time.
    Special thanks to Friendly Sonic Dude, the two Wills, and ContestofNoobs's mortal enemy for the advice and encouragement @Friendly001 @Will3808 @willrun4adonut @Vendemiaire
    Overall this was a lot easier than EoP, but my one dumb mistake was not realizing until the end of the Grandmaster fight that the SP1 prompts are telegraphed ahead of time on the HUD; that would've saved me at least 2 revives I think, doh!

    But as far as the rewards, I really lucked out. Getting dupes on Okoye, Shuri, and Scream was better than expected, and pulling Prowler was great too.
    I still don't have a 7* Serpent or Onslaught, but such is life....
    Next goal will probably be to finish the other 4 Carina challenges to get that T7B then do Ordeal to get my second R4, but I am in no rush as evidenced by the week and a half I spent doing this Necro run....















    They can't all be winners...





    This will probably go to BRB I think:

    Congrats on getting it done. What did you find to be the hardest part?
  • TotemCorruptionTotemCorruption Member Posts: 1,981 ★★★★

    Congrats on getting it done. What did you find to be the hardest part?

    Either Hercules or Grandmaster. I'm really bad at following/remembering which actions I need to do. I like to just play freely, and am too lazy to pause and recalibrate.
  • VendemiaireVendemiaire Member Posts: 2,242 ★★★★★
    Heeeeeey! Congrats! You did it and those are some really rewarding pulls! Okoye, Shuri, and Scream dupes are really good plus Prowler is a beast. I got mine at R3 and I gave him all the sigs I've got, so he's 180 now. His playstyle is fun, too. Getting the best rewards after finishing a difficult content is really satisfying. Congrats again!

    I'm currently on my 4th EoP path, Path 5 where I need 3 7*s Mystic/Mutant. I used a 6* Storm for Path 6 but I recently pulled a 7* Negasonic, so Path 5 is sealed for me soon. I'm definitely gonna clear all the other 4 Carina Challenges, too. I'd love to hear your plan once you got to it. Goodluck to us! Cheers!
  • Friendly001Friendly001 Member Posts: 1,006 ★★★★
    Awesome job! Congrats on the pulls!
