Saga Incursion & Purgatory Hacks

TotemCorruptionTotemCorruption Member Posts: 2,030 ★★★★
in General Discussion
I usually avoid Incursions like the plague, but the T7B carrot has lured me this time.
Thinking of using my 7R1 Purgatory whom I've never played before, and was wondering which hacks people recommend for her.
Also is ranking up and/or duping her necessary? Only because I'm also planning on using her for the Necro challenge...
Anyway, any and all Purgatory-related advice is appreciated, thanks!

    Most of the classic hacks interact with buffs rather than passives, so she’s unable to take advantage of amplifying anything already in her kit. That said, Fury Burst would probably be good since she can spam specials. Or the one that grants those strong prowess when you throw a special.

    Incursions saga is not that tough if you get decent luck. There are a lot of saga champs that’ll do just fine. If you e got Medusa, use her and try to grab buff cornucopia.

    Oh, that's good advice, Medusa + buff cornucopia...I feel dumb for not putting those two together immediately...

    Purg is actually really good, and the MAD hack is perfect for her.
    I'm breezing through these zones but messed up my champ rotation and can't handle this NF boss so will restart for another try.
    If anyone wants to team up and get this done with me, send me an in-game message (same username as here).
    We can schedule a convenient day/time but late nights after my kids are asleep works best for me, so sometime between 10 p.m.-2a.m. PST

    Note: this is not a carry invitation, but an actual teamwork scenario as the game mode intends, so need to be Valiant and have 7s and high 6s for relevant Saga champs and able to help each other out and clear Zone 15 together.

    Who says that the way it's intended? 😉 Plus, teamwork takes longer.

    Haha, to clarify: I do not have the skills (and all the other positive personality traits) to carry anyone.
    But I think me and someone else like me can get this done if we put our below-average skills and above-average rosters together.

    Also cheelith and venom are good for this saga incursion
  • PikoluPikolu Member, Guardian Posts: 8,421 Guardian
    I just finished my saga incursions run, had prowed degen and the special healing one for my starter hacks. Then I got one that has a chance to give you furies on basic attacks, then I got buff cornucopia and second chance. Those made the entire run really easy with Purgatory, shathra, and Sersi. All 3 of them hit like trucks on their specials so it is easy to stay on top of your health and prowed degen was a nice bonus DoT for Purgatory sp1s.

    I tried and failed miserably with them lol.

    I need to go in and try again.

    also , if possible , try to gain class souls with purg as they can help in some situations. For example , if u dont have a counter to hitmonkey evade then a skill soul purgatory can also do tht fight . important ones are skill, mystic and cosmic . tech one gives armor break but its not a must to have , and mutant gives some power steal but she alrdy has high power gain .

    Good old Keep it going and Strategic movement did the trick. That big armor break and her specials were doing insane damage.

    I think there’s a hack with Medusa this go round that you can stun lock the opponent. But like others said. Prowed degen is good

    I have a run planned with someone later this week but I'm always down to do one with a good bro.
    I was actually messing around with Okoye before falling asleep last night and she might be even better for this incursion than Purg....I'm going to watch the DLL context video on Okoye and learn her kit and rank her up to at least R2 and see how that goes...
  • Herbal_TaxmanHerbal_Taxman Member Posts: 1,771 ★★★★★
    For Okoye you want buff cornucopia and hemostatic charge. BC will help with regen, hemo with insane damage. Use your other hack slots for anything that pushes the damage. The fury burst has been great for me. Be sure to take (or swap in) someone to handle robots.

    This is just plain wrong.

    There are multiple hacks to boost the potency and duration of Degeneration; which work great for Purgatory.

    She also benefits from hacks that:
    • Boost Unblockable attacks
    • Boost Fury Potency
    • Boost Incinerate Potency
    • Boost power gain potency
    • Increase Armour Break potency (from Tech soul), or which grant Fury when non-damaging debuffs expire
    • Increase Regen on block (mystic soul)
    • Inflict any kind of damaging debuff (Skill soul, to inflict Slow)
    Basically, Purgatory is amazing in Incursions; particularly with her incredibly strong buff control that helps manage large numbers of nodes. Try her out!

    Ok, after some experimenting, it turns out I'm not a fan of Purgatory for this incursion, or at least, Okoye/Medusa/Jean are way better, even without hemoglobin and other champ-specific hacks.
    Maybe awakened and ranked-up Purg would be good, but I'm not enamored enough to make that commitment at this point.

    We'll see how the last 7 zones go tonight, but even if I succeed, I'm still down @SpyderFam for later this week...
