Spent no units
thats not true at all.
i have yet to do it myself but a couple in my alliance have.
not a single one has corvus.
and noone has spent any units.
1 used 2 team revives, 3 single revives and a 30% boost.
1 used 1 team revive, 15 single revives and a 20% boost.
both said rogue was the hardest by far but doable.
Kabam : man I love me some Aspect of War
Honestly I don't mind the aspect of war node on this quest. It's just that in combination with the brawl that makes Rogue so difficult. Aspect of War makes it an intercept game which is fine. I'm fine on every other fight. I could finish it with current inventory but still practicing to see if I can figure out Rogue.
Can you confirm this ??
Also in truth those with 5* R5 champs have a more significant advantage as aspect of war will not allow you the time to overcome the attack differences in the levels making the challenge harder for lower level champs(depending on champ of course). Without high damage r5 champs intercepting will be key.
My team:
Domino 5* 5/65 duped
Cap IW 5* 5/65 duped
Ronan 4* 4/40 duped
Massacre 6*
Rulk 5 3/45
Rulk and massacre there just for domino synergy.
Domino- all ms marvel/widow fights. Parry heavy incinerate makes quick work of them.
Cap IW-IMIW
Ronan- KK. 0 deaths using stun lock method
Everyone-rogue. Well really just domino and Cap IW. Didn’t revive anyone else while fogjt
Rogue was the only one that was painful. Depending on AI it could go well or not. Some one shots but many at least one revive for rogue. Last one was the worst because she was super aggressive and I was playing frustrated. Took a couple revives there from playing stupid.
Overall 300 or so units invested which is well worth it considering the rewards(and 150 unit pay out too bring loss to 150 units and some lvl 40 revives in the inventory and health pots from ROL grinding)
Can you build a credible team for the CM event Epic quest without any champ released after November 2017? That would mean, for example, none of the usual suspects...no Corvus, no Domino, no Ghost—essentially, nothing after Blade’s initial arena. Also no Hypo or Stark available above a 4* level.
Not impossible, but I’d like to see what combinations the high-end players in this community think is the path forward in that scenario. I would assume the team revolves around Ronan-Magik-Medusa-Quake-Venom, but I don’t know. I’d also like a candid assessment of how difficult you think it would be.
Not a snarky, trick question. Just soliciting ideas. Thanks in advance.
Dr. Zola
Rank limit? Roster shots? Not a true high-end player, but I can offer advice, but too easy to just say oh, r5 5* of all of those =P But I would say that sounds like a decent team, depending on how good you are with Quake. The main sticking point champs are obviously IMIW (Venom, Medusa) and Rogue (Whoever you feel comfortable using, Quake if you're skilled with her), so that should cover those. Could maybe use Iceman instead of Magik or Medusa, to counter BW '3%' evade.
There’s 3 champs that are fairly easy. Ms.Marvel and BW can be handled by pretty much anyone. Hawkeye would be pretty good to keep them bleeding and their power down. KK can be cheesed with Ronan. If you have a 4 star Hyperion he can do a ton of damage to IMIW especially if you pop a boost. That leaves Rogue who is a pain in the butt. Whatever rank 5 champ or high damage rank 4 can take her. A 4 star Corvus can get her down in a couple of revives. This wasn’t easy but it wasn’t to bad either. If you have a decent stash it can be done for cheap. The rewards might even be worth it if you need to spend a team revive per line. I think there’s 7 lines so it’s probably worth 700-1000 units to complete. A lot of people would value the rewards for much more than that. 1500-2000 units might still make it worth it. There’s a big chunk of t5b and 6 star shards. If you can get it done you should.
Assume zero R5–I’ve hoarded cats in anticipation of Act 6 to see what rankups have highest yield, so you’re stuck with R3/4 and 5/50 4*, which can be boosted obviously. And Iceman only as 4*, which still works for evade but may take a little more abuse than a 5*.
I’ve watched a ton of Quake videos. My Quake play is good, but failing terrific reflexes and a stable connection, I’ve found getting into the corner on Rogue can be hit or miss. I watch some of these guys and don’t see a single dropped input, or no instance where Quake just stands right up and gets clobbered. Still, she would have to be my bread and butter.
Obviously, it’s all about limiting deaths to IMIW and handling Rogue. BW can be a pain with a evade+insta-combo to the face, but she’s manageable. And KK is easiest of the lot.
Dr. Zola
Personally if given no choice Magik + MS. Maybe 4* Hyp (I personally don’t like Hyp playstyle) or R4 Void or Rulk for IMIW, AA or whoever for BW, and the highest dps champ that I have against Rogue.
It’ll be harder, yes, but definitely not a cash grab.
(For my main I didn’t scout the nodes and just read the announcement and went in with the team I thought will do best. On hindsight I should have brought Heimdall instead of Proxima and it’ll safe me quite a lot of revives esp against Rogue.)
Post 11/17 would exclude MS, Void as well, for these purposes. But assuming you use MS for KK, that’s easily replicated with Ronan/Magik.
Throwing a Heimdall of some variety in somewhere may be a viable option as well to get free indestructible for 8 secs with a hard hitter.
You mentioned Proxima—did your main use Corvus to clear?
Dr. Zola
Just didn’t expect IMIW to have Fistcuts, so I ended up using Void on him.
Iceman was for BW cause the random 3% evade doesn’t feel like 3% so I wanted to save my pain (didn’t wanna spend pots if I miscued on CG too).
I brought CG cause I read the announcement and it had IMIW and Rogue (that’s 4 charges for CG so it’s stupid not to bring him).
Rogue was pretty straightforward with CG just hitting into her block and shallow evading her when she dashed. Miscued 2-3 times on one path that ended up with me getting cornered. Lol. When he died I just used whichever champ was alive to carry on, no big deal.
Magik was for everyone else since they were cosmic mainly. Imagine my surprise when I saw aspect of war. It was simply sp2 cornerlock for most fights.
Fair enough.
I’ve got to build a team around Quake, and unfortunately I’m getting a lot of issues with her right now with dropped inputs and the same kind of stuff that has plagued her for a while. I’ve watched Dave’s video and tried lighter touches, but that’s not a solution for me.
Magik may ultimately be the better option for me than Quake. Less reliance on accurate game mechanics performance.
I’ve experimented a couple of lanes with NC/Yondu synergy for greater block penetration on Rogue. Those fights feel dependent on the mood Rogue’s AI is in honestly. Just a suck if she’s psycho.
Ideally, I’d like to avoid a ton of item use, but I suppose brute forcing is always an option for me. Don’t have the optimal roster build for it, skills are a little rusty and game/connection/device feels balky. It is what it is.
Dr. Zola
the other 3 spots can be used by an brute force champ (SL, preferably direct damage and no DoT as Rogue exists), an KK counter (easily Ronan) and an IMIW counter. Before November 2017 Counters I can think of are Doctor Strange, Karnak, and Hyperion. DS and Hyperion is about the power gain and only hit with SP1 and Karnak is about the true strike.
The synergies provide a lot of survivability, they saved me a lot in that quest tbh.
Also, Block Penetration champs not named Corvus are kinda hard to use as Rogue is overly aggressive to hit on her block and you kinda have to kill her fast. I used a brute force champ personally.
Lol I’m not kidding when I say I’ve been basically 0-for-2018, but I did pull a 4* Heimdall late yesterday. OG Thor? Sure. But I’ve shied away from 4* unless I have to. Heimdall would have been nice if I’d had him when I started.
I’m halfway through and wishing I had room for an Iceman on BW. But it’s all good. Some quests are easier than others. Does make me laugh when I see Corvus and Ghost and Aegon ripping it though—feels like just before 12.0 all over again.
Dr. Zola
so that the guys would not cry, it is necessary to make such awards, so that they would not cry) this time, they are good for the grades, but there is no biggest minus (TITLE) add Titut please! because the first chapter is not difficult but the title was given. not fair, I ask you to correct the error. and the title of the title could be about (BEST CAPTAIN) For example
Mike, please carry the information to the developers on the title of "Captain Marvel" 2 chapter
Love it 😂😂😂
That’s a good setup—I’m just powering with my mish-mash team of R4 Medusa/Quake, R3 Venom/Yondu, 5/50 Ronan. It isn’t at all pretty but it’s what I picked and at this point nothing left but to soldier on. Would trade Yondu for a sandwich to be named later at this point.
On your list of champs...I’d be happy with any of Mephisto, HE or Stark as 5*. Have Hela but haven’t invested any time learning her. No biggie but yes...pulls haven’t gone my way. Got to run with what you have.
Dr. Zola
Yep. I’m taking a break before final path. All the goodies are nice, but I really hope the 5* at the end is finally a decent payoff. These special quest crystals have not been kind to me.
Dr. Zola
I really want to flag your comment lol
Dr. Zola
Not a whole lot to say about that...just more of the same. Stuck on the 2016-2017 server lol. Ah well... other goodies are great. Maybe VP dominates the next special quest.
