Why is no one talking about this month's EQ

i mean seriously, this gotta be the worst nodes possible.
there is maybe 5 skill champs that can deal these effects each and some of them most ppl probably wont even have them ranked up. Even if you do have those champs ranked up, the time it takes to build up those furies would take forever. I rarely post but this is kinda the straw that broke the camels back for me. yall managed to get through this months eq? good for u and please drop some advice below, but for the rest of us this months eq is seriously a joke. even mcoc noob didnt drop a guide for this month so go figure.

for reference, champs that are usable while still having to do MLM combos due to mix master:
shock- okoye, mole man, BWDO, sable
incinerate- masacre, elsa bloodstone, xbones
disorient- HM, Nick, Ronin.
and these are the only ones that i can see ppl rank up. and thats not a lot. how is anyone without a whale roster/newly valiant players supposed to complete this one

Why do you need to do m if you are able to apply shock and incinerator?

mix master node. and even so i can't think of anyone that can do it in a reasonable time other than BWDO okoye and Elsa. Thats 3 out of 15 that seems doable and stress free.

Use the champs you said 7*& 6* champs if you have them even if they're not rank up (okoye bwdo nick elsa hit monkey)

You can also use a 6* and 7* falcon -dash and hold block (lock on) and you bypass mix master-

Also Yelena belova is great (bypass evade and crazy dmg

With the right champs you can do it stress free without needing r3's and r4's

Also boosts are your friends 😉

Two things:

Firstly, - if you run out of options, you can just do Mixmaster using any champion, and control your combos.

Secondly, you don't have to prevent Evade by using the Skillful Distraction node: Skill champions are well known for dealing with Evade in loads of different ways. And they'll all build Furys…:

Shock/Incinerate/Disorient

Elsa, Okoye, Mole Man, Sable, BWDO, Hit Monkey, Ronin, Frankencastle, Gwenpool, Winter Soldier,

Coldsnap

Kate Bishop, Misty Knight

True Accuracy/Strike, Pursuit, Panic, Prevent, Slow, Ensnare, Distraction

Nick Fury, Night Thrasher, Attuma, Mole Man, Bullseye, Hawkeye, Jabari, Hit Monkey, Moondragon, Shang-Chi, Karnak, Killmonger, Mister Knight, Squirrel Girl, Stealthy (yes, he can do Mixmaster: Parry LLLML)

General Ability Accuracy reduction

Crossbones, Black Widow, Agent Venom, Elektra, Falcon, Black Cat

Does that help?

There were multiple complaint threads about how elder nodes are lazy, not thought out, and largely zero fun. After a while, Kabam’s silence just confirms that they simply don’t care.

This is EQ now. They are done touching it and we are stuck with subpar content going forward.

And there's still a few (7 I believe) other viable champs that you didn't use. It wasn't my favorite chapter, but nowhere near as bad as OP is limiting it to.

That's great, but Paragon and Valiant have to swap champs every fight, so it's unfortunately unhelpful in this particular scenario.

Skill quest in Paragon EQ is undoubtedly the least convenient, but it is far from impossible.

The nodes feel relatively old with not the most obvious counters after the first 7-8 champs that come to mind, but there are still enough Skill champs to make it through.

My hope is that the team finally equips EQ with a mechanism that allows us to exempt the regular EQ as a gate for the Paragon EQ. That will make a lot of this more bearable for me.

mix master for monthly eq not a new thing - even the previous pre format eq skill chapter had mixmaster

People seem to be skipping right over this list. Frankly, Skill was one of the easier paths in Elder this month. If you're doing Elder, you should have enough of these ranked to get by. If not, there's always regular EQ.

Btw Falcon destroys that Electro boss.

Link? I might have missed it… but I try to keep up on most all updates. The only change I recall is eventually we won’t have to do classic. And the first week of this eq had multiple complaints about the nodes just like the last 2. So apparently I am not the only one who missed it
