Lol I love making these titles to get people to look and help me out : ) . Anyways I’m at the collector quest, gonna take the yondu path (got LC for Mary Poppins) BUT....I don’t feel like I have a good collector counter. Gimme some help pls. I have 1 4* Cosmic and 1 4* Science Gem on me. Pretty low on gold but that can be remedied.

Once you can reach the Collector without having to revive plenty, then you should be ok. Watch your unit stash though, it could go down fast if you're not careful. Good luck!
Hyperion for damage and maybe stun,
AA for tenacity proofing and DoT (less power gained),
Dorm for power control,
Luke Cage for one freebie,
Hulk for stun lock and 20% revive,
Hood for invisibility,
Hawkeye/ AoU for power control,
Thor for maybe guaranteed parry? (Someone said he can only shrug one debuff off at a time)
@Solrac_2 I’ve actually already been using his guide. He doesn’t rlly say anything that applies to me cause I don’t have OG DD duped and definitely not enough sig stones.
Duped Hulk. You’re still gonna revive… a lot. But my “gamma” strat basically means that a boost and a 20% rev with a single potion (and good heavy baiting) and you’ll be able to consistently get some amazing damage off each time. 40% and heavy baiting means you can do that to his Sp3 if you got the stones
Duped Classic Daredevil 99 sig. you’ll probably survive a few special attacks before his AAR decides to play dirty.
Duped Vision (AoU) basically plays the same as Daredevil Classic but a higher emphasis on heavy baiting. And once that AAR comes in it’s gonna be a wild ride to the morgue
And, of course, we have the Stark Enhanced Spider-Man angle. Basically a cross between Daredevil Classic and Hulk. Bait some poise, hit him hard, hopefully survive at least 1 special, repeat
There is no one way to counter the collector. The closest thing is a Max sig OG daredevil cause he can evade all the collector specials
What I’m asking is for some help choosing which partial counters to take. I’m already going to take Magik and LC for path clearing so I have 3 spots for the collector. I guess I’m asking what team to take. Thx
Duped vision is also a great option for.him cuz u can keep him power locked
After that it was just spark and DD Classic mostly.
If you have no way to evade his special attacks once he’s unblockable then you just have to block all his basic attacks to bait heavies and try and repeat this aslong as you can until he uses any kind of special
also I believe you can use void, vision or HE to avoid him using sps. did it a while ago, don't remember exact buffs he had, but those are good anyway
I don’t plan on soloing him, it has never been done. The best was 2 fights. I just want to minimize resource consumption with the guys I already have. I know I can take him without having to spend a ton (cause I have 320 free crystals and a stack of revs and pots) but I want to make smart plays so I don’t end up fighting like Seatin on his first run through (dying like 50x) if I can avoid it.
Edit: here are his abilities.
I really appreciate all the help, but if you aren’t speaking from experience, or aren’t at least done with 5.3, please don’t give suggestions cause chances are, I’ve alreafy realized that and am checking with better players. Don’t mean to be rude, but I hope u get what I mean : )
I did in fact use Thor Rags (4* R4 duped) and a Hulk 4* R5 for the collector. It worked for me and minimized resources and since I had a ton of small revives saved, I didn't have to buy a single revive.
The Thor was there strictly for the synergy. Bottom line is you need to fill the other 3 spots with champs that can take you to the collector, if any of them have Hulk or Thor synergies, then bonus, otherwise the goal should be to do whatever it takes to last as long as possible against the collector while doing as much damage as possible.
I personally want to go back and try the Ghost/Hood synergy with my main acct and see if Hood can do some damage since he starts invisible, and still have another viable champ who takes no damage while phasing meaning if you time it right, the Collectors specials won't hurt Ghost.
Imo, a duped Hulk (enables Hulk Smash when 25%) + 4*/5* Thor Rag synergy (makes Hulk indestructible when 20%) + Void synergy (gives Hulk a bar of power when 20%) is the best one for me.
I used that team, just a week ago to defeat Collector, with
4/40 4* duped Hulk sig 20
3/30 4* unduped Thor Rag (yep, 3/30, but just for synergy)
5/50 4* duped Void
5/50 4* duped Blade
5/50 4* unduped GR
I was fully prepared with 1800 units and 13 revives (both single and team), getting to the Collector without revives (but tried a lot and wasted a lot of refills, always remember refills is cheaper). Then fought the Collector, costed only 12 revives and no units spent. I got lucky too, but gotta admit the Collector cant kill my Hulk even with sp2/sp3, and i keep spamming sp.
What's unlucky is that you have 5* unduped Hulk and a 4* science gem but no 4* Hulk, and then 4* DD classic but unduped. I would recommend LC as your Collector killer. But i dont have him as a 4*, so im not sure how effective he could be, if i was in your shoes maybe i would still wait for a 4* Hulk lol, the appreciation buff is gone so no need to rush anyways.
I’m pretty sure my PI is low because I don’t run suicides. I’m thinking about spending 270 units to get assassin when I get him down that much.
Admittedly, I don’t really utilize masteries that often...I could unlock precision and cruelty, but I might save them for limber or assassin
I guess taking points out of the 9 attack boost and putting them in cruelty and precision would t be a bad idea
yes, cruelty and precision must have
petrify - you don't really need it
max glass cannon. also courage, if you are going to use 20% hulk + ragthor way
maxing pierce will also help to increase damage
drop mutant class mastery. maybe same for md, md was good even before nerf only at 4/5 or 5/5
in general you might want to max dw if you use bleed champs
Sorry I guess you should post in the header that you only want skilled players and what the requirements are for them. For the record I'm finished 100% with act 5 but then again I'm probably not as skilled a fighter as you are
I just have to ask since you posted that you have already spoken to skilled players. Who helped you with your mastery setup and explained what role they play in the game. A basic attack tree should look something like this if you want to maximize damage and reduce pot useage
There is no right or wrong set up.
Prescision rank 5 has been proven and shown to have no practical benifit.
Extensive testing of prescision at rank 4 and rank 5 has shown the exact same amount of crit hits are landed.
It works out to be something like 1%. Out of 100 hits maybe you would gain 1 extra crit hit.
Certainly not worthwile.
Rank 4 in precsion is all that is required
