**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

Well it is accessible however that doesn't mean its attainable.
Not everything is for you yet.
I was standing still with that crazy regen red Deadpool in the KG EG last year. I couldn't finish the web-slingers challenge. I lacked skills. I lacked the right champs etc. I built up to it and now I can clear content. It's the long game. If that doesn't work for you then spend like crazy or find another hobby.
As for the enemy, I don't see poor balance at all. I'm an average player at best and I run full suicides. So its exactly what you listed, it is a breeze with the right champ as well as with the ability to intercept and read the AI. Dave's IT video is exactly why I'm coasting through this. I've used a 4/55 Domino and solo'd him, a 4/55 Blade, and a 5/65 Iceman all on different occasions.
I love that the game is promoting diversity and rewarding it.
What team are you trying to run it with? 3/45 will not get it done vs this guy, not unless they have insane damage and your intercept skills are ace.
Blade 5r5 (GR and Spark synergies)
I've seen poorly designed map bosses before, and this one is fine. Maybe a little challenging to those not used to it, but definitely beatable without items.
I literally don't understand what is too hard about him. Compare him to Thanos, that was actually hard.
Hulk_77 is right though...use 4 champs to wear him down and go for the final blow with your 5th heaviest hitting champ. Good luck... we'll need it.
Yeah he also rigth with a blade short Down the node shuld try it witout blade and kilmonger then we Can talk.
if you have great skills, might try it with quake or omega without any hits landing or taking/blocking/parrying, only dexterity 100%
maybe duped nebula will heal back and will be the best option
or some high dps champ from start like corvus, the least interesting option imo
killmonger - he sufferers from bleed, don't think he will work here, but someone should try for sure
upd: magik limbo will also work nice, just use sp right before time out, so her limbo would take the damage. so you just need her to have enough hp not to die instantly, after that might get even more if you have heal mastery. the best option, I guess. a beautiful solution imo, as it requires some skill as well
Always that 1 fake bot in the comments saying something wasn't too hard or difficult... WE KNOW THAT YOU WORK FOR KABAM!!!
My typical roster consists of 5* R3 KM, 4* 5/50 DV, Medusa, Iceman, and either 4* 5/50 IMIW, or 5* R3 Rulk. That roster has seen me through a great deal of content. I’m Uncollected, and I do understand that not every bit of content is going to be attainable to every player.
A 30 second time to lop off 17k of health is just stupid. There’s no skill that can avoid that, unless you count using resources as a skill.
I’d love to hear what champs people are using to clear this. I’ve seen plenty of “it’s not too bad/hard”, but no real suggestions as to who to use.
@Hulk_77 I didn’t take too much damage up to the point of the symbioid, so I did wind up using all 5 champs in the 2.5 minutes allotted. I was hoping to get KM’s true strike going, but I ran out of time. DV burned some power, but I died before I could do too much there. Medusa didn’t do too much damage, because she couldn’t inflict armor break (her crits didn’t do as much damage as normal). Iceman got killed because he couldn’t negate the evade, and IMIW just didn’t have the damage output. I could try Rulk, but he’s another ramp-up champ.
I didn’t lose a single champ to a KO by the symbioid, but rather through the timer lapsing.
@NewYorkSmitty: I fully understand that not all content is for me. Sometimes bosses have attack that is too high to overcome, etc. I’m cool with saying “hey, that content is just outside of my reach”. It gives me a goal to chase. It makes me practice my skills. But this isn’t one of those situations. This is more “easy to deal with IF you have the right champs”. I don’t see how the devs tout accessibility yet throw in a instakill node that you can’t avoid. You ran this with a couple of 4/55’s and a 5/65. How many lvl 40 players have champs that are that high?
You can be an intercept god, but if you don’t have a HP pool that can withstand 17k of unavoidable damage, what do you do? I’ve got decent skill, and my confidence got a pretty big boost after running dungeons for the past month. This is just lazy design, built to sap units/potions.
Our little buddy has a few tricks that might help you guys
If you can't do uncollected generally you won't be able to do the Epic either without your sym. Do the lower levels first and rank him up as much as you can.
If you do a special that drains all your power (or get hit by a special of the symbioid since they drain power) you'll get the damage.
If you do a special try to do them at 1 and a half bars of power or 2 and a half. That way you wont get damage.
Try using characters taht do not rely on specials: Wolverine, X,23, Miss/Cap Marvel) . However be careful with the evades.
And you realize that they weren't touting it as being "accessible" in the sense of any easier than usual Uncollected, right? All they did was open it up to Summoners over Level 40 whether they were Uncollected or not. If you were not Uncollected due to not being strong enough yet, then you are really not in a position to tackle Epic whether it is "accessible" to you or not. It just gives those folks a chance to try their hand at it; however, there was nothing shared that suggested it would be any easier than the usual Uncollected difficulty that has been kicking many experienced Summoners the past few months.
"Accessible" only means you have access to it, in this case. It does not mean it's supposed to necessarily be something you can successfully complete if you haven't even reached Uncollected yet.
@Alex_sc11
The problem is that there is literally another node that forcibly drains all your power. 🙄
5* R5 Blade and Trinity synergy. 1 shot and no life loss on Epic difficulty. Pretty easy fight TBH
I used hyperion. Negates the need to block for power. Easy peasy
limbo doesn't save you from 1 hit KO's. Your symbiote can deal with goldy no problem however. Just put a few good buffs on him
In Master difficulty, I used my 4-Star, activated Limbo (with my Sp2) just as the counter was running out, instantly healed it all back.
I don't have a 5-Star, and don't think that my 4-Star would stand much of a chance with this trick in Epic...
Did someone hack kabam miike? This is the most casual, non admin post I have ever seen lol.
Wrong thread, already been addressed.
I haven't faced this fight yet, and Android is giving me difficulty seeing the boss icons. Is it 2.1? Based on what I've heard blade will be good, any death cheaters will be good (punisher, phoenix, hela, various synergies), and ability accuracy reducers will be good.
Nope rank 4 has 18k health 1300 attack
