Solo Coliseum

GroundedWisdom

Who are you guys using for Havok? I'm not having any luck at all with anyone yet. The Plasma is doing me in.

it’s a Garbo fight whoever designed this hates the player base

captain_rogers

Infamous ironman works very well but you have to be very careful.

Omega sentinel and fantman are safe as they have multiple armor buffs to prevent plasma.

Shocker works best for me as mine is r4

GroundedWisdom

Okay, thanks. I just tried OS. I'll have to rank her past R1.

rcm2017

I tried fam, got 4 HB in first cadual run

Folkvangr

got 5 bars with guillotine 2099, but it was boring af

Coolbum67

both these coliseums sucks majorly, they haven’t even acknowledge all the concerns people had about the AQ version of this. They are trying to hard to make money off of this game mode is the problem, it’s heavily geared towards that.

Alliance Coliseum sucks and before the release of Solo, I said to myself it would suck, and guess I was right. 🤣

NARWH4L

I got 12 bars on my first run with FAM. The hard part is turning off the part of your brain that says to dex the specials and parry them instead.

Hoitado

FAM by far the best option that I know of right now. Got multiple runs where I got 7+ health bars gone

FreddyKane

I took 13 health bars off first try with FAM. Hes probably the safest but its slow and boring. Took 5 off with starky but his poise dont stay up well

How are you spending money on solo coliseum with no podiums to upgrade?

"Havok"

And everyone don't forget to vote for Colossus AOA 😎

GroundedWisdom

This is going to take some time and planning for me. One bar off with Guilly 2099. Of course she's R1. Not pleased with the one Point per bar. Lol. I guess that's why it's 2 months long.

Fantman is very good. You don't need to worry about havok's plasma.

Usagicassidy

New Best! lol that was such a hilariously depressing message to get.

Avnish

Fantman is too good for this fight...easy power control and good damge...

But TBH 25 energy per run is kinda brutal...it should be 15. So that we can 4-5 runs in full energy..

Dr. Crab

Starky so far is my favorite. 3 Bars for about 60 seconds a run. Energy cost is absolutely brutal but the cost benefit analysis of those rewards to energy expenditure and sanity preservation is definitely my go to right now.

GroundedWisdom

Looks like FAM is the way to go. I don't have the 7*, so I had to rank and Ascend the 6*. Much smoother.

Sambob

Can someone explain the FAM rotation? Never used this guy

ThePredator1001

Superior iron man and hulk buster have been working well for me. Hulkbuster you can powerlock him reliably for 4ish health bars after that it gets sketchy.

I like the layout of Solo Colosseum but wish it wasn’t 25 energy per fight. It makes it hard to experiment with options. Wish it wasn’t 15 or something .

Annihilator13_

R2 guillotine 2099. Pretty well worked for me done 8 bars.

ButtonMasher3000

energy ask is insane!

Sbk

I too would like the FAM rotation

It's funny you posted this because I had just arrived at the same conclusion. I know there are many much more skilled fighters than myself, and I was starting to get frustrated. Then I found Starky to be fun and if you just get 2-3 HBs per fight you are talking 2-3 fights per day to get the full 80 points over 2 weeks. That's what 3-4 minutes a day for huge rewards in the end. I'm sure I'll get better at it but when that sunk in I chilled a lot about this game mode. I think I'll check in each day for a few minutes get my points and move on.

You spend money on the AQ one and solo just sucks like the AQ iteration.

I'm probably going to use the same strat. Just chip away at the requirements over the next 2 weeks. While the rewards are great, something seems anticlimactic considering this is supposed to be an "everest" content replacement. Highly doubt I'll be a stoked as when I finally got Ares down for the 1st time

Bastion, Shocker, OS have all done fine. Gotta be careful with Bastion and Shocker cause you need to parry for the armor ups. But both of them move through the health bars pretty well. It’s especially satisfying to drop a fat heavy from Shocker and knock out a bar and some change all at once.

25 energy per run.. they tryna make people buy energy

Squidopus

Mr. Fantastic ain’t bad. He impressed me last Coliseum against Nefaria, and he’s proving decent against Havok this time around as well. He’s no Fantman but if you aren’t good at him/don’t have him then Reed can put it work. And yes, 6* btw, not some r4 7*.

Advantages

Evades frequently on non-Parries, with extra chance against Unblockables. If Havok throws an Unblockable special, you don’t have to manually dex the hit and consume the Armor Up, you can just let Reed Evade it for you.
Even if you mess up, Careful Study + Inequity + Base Resistances means you can walk off a Special to the face or some Plasma Detonation damage once or twice.
Petrify + Suppression keeps Havok’s power steady.
Once you’ve stacked Careful Study Passives for the extra CPR, you can loop Sp3s fairly quickly for big damage. One sp3 plus some combos could usually take out an entire health bar.
