MCOC: Act 8.3.6 - Easy Path For Completion - Venom vs Cerastes - 2023

[@fynnmcgroder]

I did this path. Ronan can cheese everyone. Just watch out for super skrull's falter, and i would reccomend using someone else to deal with nimrod, because he will often drain your power after you throw your special. Also for the boss fight, I found doom to be good for the first few phases due to him having easy knockdown access.

[@MCOCNOOB]

Thank you 😊 lemme pin this 📍

[@bteevan1]

Hi just tried the Ronan cheese and no bueno. Not enough buffs. Suggestions on how?

[@fynnmcgroder]

@@bteevan1 higher sigs on Ronan. And maintain distance when you can to let the furies build up

[@quiverpigeon]

​@@fynnmcgroderfuries build while you're close, and fall off when you're distant...

[@PoopHippie]

So super skrull be careful with ronan and use someone else for nimmy? Got it thx

[@AmanGupta.o_0]

Just 2 weeks ago I became Paragon because of your guides only and now today I've initially completed act 8 till 8.3....just because of your guides!!!!... and here I really gave hope on doing any more story content.....your work for this MCOC community is unmatched....and you have motivated so many of us players to go further in the story content...keep up the good work buddy...hope you have a great Holiday season 😇😇

[@MCOCNOOB]

Thank you bro, have a great holiday season as well :)

Indeed. I definitely have cleared pretty much all my content using your guides. You are much appreciated, sir.

How many units have you saved so many of us poor bastards from wasting? You have much of my respect for investing so much of your time into these guides for us. Thank you.

[@naimirsmith6205]

They replaced red skull for infamous bc of his buff, A good way to deal with him is just any cosmic champ with armor break like herc or CGR, venom works too

[@michaelcronjefishing]

Dr Doom also a solid option for Infamous IM!

[@miltdawg01]

"Do not push him to a Sp2...because that happens" My favorite part of the video. Lol. Appreciate all you do with these videos!! Super helpful!!

[@slackstarfish8133]

It may not seem like it, but Kingpin is fucking amazing for cerastes. His massive health pool and permanent healing with just keep you top up the whole fight. I easily soloed the boss even without Odin. If you use Odin on kingpin it’s just game over. The best start is to use your relic into a heavy, then bait the sp1, dash into the auto block. Then repeat. Once you remove the armor literally just throw heavy attacks and special 2s. He gets unstoppable and fury buffs on his own from that and if you have Odin as well you are going to annihilate. I used Odin on a different champ and thought I was screwed cuz I fucked up the try bad but Kingpin went dumby. I’d recommend him.

[@chidebemugonna5099]

Thanks for your guide. I took a team of Cosmics (Herc, Gamora, CGR and Hulking) + Doom. I used Doom to solo the path, then swapped him out for Odin to give Herc the prefight buff advantage. For some reason, I really struggled to dex and master the rotation. Took me longer than it should have (similar to my Bahamet fight). Now all I need is a way to get two R3 7 stars.

[@islambeksadykov9201]

Same, i spend 800 units on bahamet, because i only had 5 star kingpin

[@maledrac1music]

Advise from 2025, kushala swap doom !

[@fredheimbb]

Best MCOC content on youtube 🏆🥇🫡 I went with R4 Doom and Jugs for the path, Jugs for Skrull and Hulkling. Brought R4 Angela, R3 King Groot and 7* Venom. The plan was to switch Jugs with Odin before the boss, but I completely forgot about it and went for R4 NF instead…blunder…luckily I had OG Thor relics on both Angela and Venom. King Groot is king for this fight, if you make mistakes along the way. Angela is the Queen of everything, for my part, would have been better with Odin synergy and pre fight tho😅 Venom is perfect for phase 3, easy and quick to counter the boss's heavy with his own heavy. Keep it up 🫡

[@francism6927]

As of writing this message Red skull is currently buffed & nullify, stagger & fate seal immune. So you will need a neutralize champ just an fyi. Ran into that issue just now lol

[@hhurtta]

Red Skull has been replaced with Infamous Iron Man, for a good reason, lol

[@Dogs-12y3]

@@hhurtta yea in all paths were nullify is kinda essential for the nodes red skull has been replaced with idoom (funny thing is in the 8.1.1 boss theres a node that says if you nullify stagger etc you take damage, but now he is immune so that node is irrelevant)

[@moushinh7440]

I used Hercules all the time with Odin prefights he shreds with his high red damage numbers.....

[@jedijones]

I agree, Hercules is the way to go for the boss, especially since people are likely to have him as one of their highest ranked champs.

[@fury2705]

Neutraliae works by reducing ability accuracy. In 8.3, we have a node that says AA cannot be reduced:(

@@fury2705 That node isn't actually active here. The issue is the increased ability accuracy, buy it you get the neutralize from the path node their buffs will be prevented.

[@Luismrv315]

Infamus Ironman with Magik or Claire Voyant

[@jedijones]

This whole thing was a huge pain in the butt. Much less fun than the rest of 8.3. Nothing really worked as planned and I had to rely on my 6-star ascended Hercules to bail me out of everything. My 6-star Doom was dead before I could take down Hyperion. I don't understand why his SP1 often completely fails to drain Hyperion's power. Juggernaut and Sasquatch died on later fights. Hercules stepped in to finish all their fights and do the rest of the fights, but he also had to be revived himself. For the boss I revived one of the dead mystics and swapped in Odin to put pre-fights on 7-star Gorr, to hopefully take out the boss. The boss's mechanics are just annoying. The three circles are so indistinct, they should've been color coded or something to more clearly indicate which armor they represent. It's hard to remember which is which solely by what order they're in. I alternated between Gorr and Hercules as they both died many times during the fight. Gorr's damage output was just too disappointing in the end. Hercules was able to pack a much bigger punch during the wounded phases, despite Odin's buffs being applied to Gorr and not him. I do think using one striker, one heavy attack and one hit into block in a cycle is the way to go. Going in order was definitely the only way I could possibly keep track of what I was doing. My weak 5-star rank 1 Odin got to claim his big daddy status by stepping in at the very end to deliver the final punch to knock Cerastes out. Overall, the whole path and the boss took 12 revives to finish. Not that bad, but all of this was so painful to go through that the emotional drain felt worse than the resource drain. One of the least "fun" bosses of them all to play, in my opinion.
