Really struggling with 5.2.4 - lines in the sand

Hey folks. Masochism is just the worst! I was able to beat 5.2.1-5.2.3 without any revives and am using 4x 4* 5/50s (Domino, Gulk, Hyperion, Void - all duped except domino) and my 3/45 crossbones (unduped). I’m taking the left path (Yellowjacket, deadpool etc) and can only make it as far as iron man. Any tips on the quest or on masochism itself? That the timer for it is 7 seconds refresh just seems so short too. I’m really really struggling.

I find Corvus can’t do enough work with their health pools so high
My best tip for you is: Just go in and try to beat 1st opponent and dont get hit.. at the end of the fight if u have less then 90% health just dont continue quit and try again.. in this way u can gain some experience how to wreck these mechocism nodes...
Peace ... n Good Luck
You want to either have someone that has AAR, inflicts a lot of bleeds or inflicts a lot of debuffs... Void is excluded because he depends on his debuffs.
LC is good for it because his exhaustion triggers it which makes it usually on cooldown for parries... Same goes for Sparky with taunt.
Masacre would work well because you would actually want the opponent to block you.
@ẞlооd - one of the reasons is my parry. I'm usually pretty good with my parries, I can get them stunned (triggering maso) and deal a decent portion of damage, but their regen and block pen damage catches me over time. One mistake and it seems a 5 hit combo or special will take me down. The debuffs I need to do substantial damage end up being nullifed and healed. Can't seem to time things within that 7 second window.
@GluteusMaximus apart from domino, I don't have many with high bleed damage, that's if her bleed isn't nullified by masochism lol... I really want an AA, but I have a 3* one at most, and he definitely isnt enough to beat this. When I can dupe my CAIW, I will
@crgoodw1n - thanks for your tips. I can get decent ramp up with hype and domino, but usually in taking a bit of damage against each foe, which, over time, sinks me after about 5 champions. This map is longer than the previous ones, a real step up from 5.2.3
@XxOriginalxX I am hoping to learn how to use Ghost better, only just got her from Arena. She could be an option for the caltrops path.
@Metal8989 True true true. My intercept game needs improvement. Occasionally I get a perfect round with someone like domino and take barely any damage, its very satisfying. But it needs big improvement. Sounds obvious: to not get hit, but thats what it takes at this level, one mistake and its done for.
@Hamin one time I used Void and timed things perfectly, parried before his intimidating presence debuffs landed and it was beautiful. That only happened once lol. You're right, he's too risky for this matchup.
@Sungj you're right, and unfortunately, I just gotta git gud on intercepts, and that's gonna take a while. Sighhhh
@Mike12867 I don't like Proxima for some reason, I have her as a 4* without levels, duped. Maybe I don't understand her enough. What's the mechanic?
Also, like others said, if you are good on intercepting, that's the way to go. In my case, I am bad at intercepting so I just held block and bait heavies on the other times. Of course, block damage is painful.
In my opinion, 5.2.4. is where act 5.2 steps up a gear or two. Unless you are very skilled I don't think you will do it without using units.
@Mike12867 I looked into it, and wow, I gotta level my Proxima! I found this video
Cheers!
