Champion - (champion you used and if there's a specific rotation that works for the boss)

    its not my personal counter's I've added viable counters that i could think of
  • captain_rogerscaptain_rogers Member Posts: 13,697 ★★★★★
    Nice initiative, but in think there will be more counters than these?

    Also what strategy I did with act 7 crucible is, go through all nodes of champ, then look at my roster and note down all champs who I think can counter/solo this fight easily. I'll write them down.

    Once I finish this for all champs then I'll pick one out of each of them for each fight and I'll use them for actual fyt

    What happens when we have to bring three champs for "synergies" and then swap them all out after each fight?
    What happens kabam picks 4 champ for us and autorun the quest on a browser and all we have to do is spend points on temporary masteries and hope everything goes right?
    That was funny 🤣

    I’d say the biggest problem is going to be finding the fights where you really NEED to use a certain champ. That’ll thin out the list a little for others. That’s the biggest issue with any crucible style quest actually

    That's why I think there should be 2 use per hero instead of one and done.

    I explored Act 8 earlier this year. It was pretty easy.
    I can't even imagine doing it with my current roster.
    Just dive in and pick the worst counter you have for each fight and move on to the next, it will work itself out.
    No need to plan for this if you've 100% Necro, EoP, WoF, etc.

    Same. I came back from a 2 year hiatus (2023-February 2025).

    I only explored 8.1 back then, so going back to the game earlier this year, I was presented with a ton lot of Act content to explore (8.2-8.4 exploration).
    I only had 1 6*R5 champion, less than 10 6*R4, and 6 7*R1 champs (I quit a few weeks after 7*s were introduced) and I still managed to explore the whole thing up to 9.1 in a few weeks.

    It's easy, yes, but having a planner really helps alleviate some menial thinking... and most of us playing this game are Planner Junkies.
