Some advice for anyone struggling with 6.1.1, Guillotine 2099 demolishes the boss. Beat another character with her sp3 as a finisher and you’ll be doing basically double damage as long as you don’t lose your combo

[@xxdelta1690]

I hit thronebreaker the other day. Act 6 is definitely a bigger jump in difficulty than act 5 in my opinion especially now that they nerfed act 5 heavily. act 6.2 Mr. Sinister and The Champion were absolutely brutal fights. And act 6.3 Cap IW was a hard fight too. Players need to prepare for act 6 once they're done act 5 now. Nice video though man

[@allaner41]

Hey thanks!

[@ravianand7510]

A simple tip for anyone who's trying to get through 6.2.2 sinister boss, just take any robot or poison immune champ with hela and heimdall which allows any chapion except heimdall get an indefinite fury buff.

[@gime1945]

As someone who has just come back after several years of leaving the game, Thank You! This helped a lot. I started a new account and am getting through most of the content with ease. This gave me a great idea on what to focus on since being gone for so long. Hoping on getting some decent pulls from my 5* and 6*. Do you have any resource on where I can see what champions are good per class, offense, defense, etc ? I know there's a lot of new champions, and it's hard knowing which are now the "best" and for what utility. Is Lab of Legends easier with any of these new champions ? Back when I stopped, I had done it with Blade as he was one of the newest "really good" champion. Thanks

[@user-lb4to6er8h]

Great guide, thank You! On my way to complete act 4 and just got first 5* Nimrod. Should I rank him up or wait for a better option?

Hey, unfortunately i got thronebreaker like a week before i saw this video so not much of it applies to me but its still really good. I just wanted to see if youd be willing to do progression for after thronebreaker cause im honesyly not really sure what to do and have just been going after act 7.

[@allaner41]

Ya… idk man. I’ve been burnt out of the game for a while. But honestly, just look up each path, there’s a guy (I can’t remember the name of his channel) who goes over each path in act 7 and shows each fight and tells you what champs are good for what.

[@hunterryland5907]

Made Conquerer about a week ago, hoping to apply what I learn here to my push for Uncollected. Note: the completion rewards for the acts have been updated, and they are a lot better, so maybe try pushing 100% on act 4 & 5

[@Left-sh1db]

As a recent uncollected chad, the jump from act 5 to 6 is so large in my opinion that’s it should be changed. The game doesn’t ask that much from you before act 6, then in act 6 you really have to change the way you play the game so much it’s frustrating.

[@allaner41]

Interesting. I always felt like the jump from act 4 to act 5 is way larger than act 5 to act 6.

[@thebigguy6491]

Hey I’m having some trouble with the eq (uncollected) so I was thinking I should farm some revives and energy refill before jumping back into the eq because I really need the shards and that 5 star sunspot so what do you think I should do so far I have completed 100% of the 1.1

[@allaner41]

You’ve got another couple weeks to get it finished. I’d say go farm some revives and energy refills, farm some units and take a crack at it next week.

[@allaner41]

Maybe this month you can’t finish uncollected eq, so make sure to at least finish the difficulty below it if you get to the end of the month and still haven’t managed to beat it. You always have next month.

[@thebigguy6491]

Then what’s the best quest for revive I’m on 5.3.1 currently

I’m not entirely sure, but last I checked it was a act 3 chapter 2 and quest.

[@emperorcosmos1316]

same man the eq is so hard in uc. I completed it and explored 1.1 of the uc eq, but exploring the rest 5 quests I don't think I can do anymore man. There are multiple annoying as hell defenders on all paths and I just can't get through 'em :(

[@reverseddoge7214]

I just started playing and I cleared ACT 3 but my teams like 9k power, and everything else seems super hard to progress thru I feel kinda stuck, any recommendations?

[@allaner41]

Moving into act 4 you should have some 4*s. If not, do some of the side quests and event quest stuff, those usually have really good ROI, and keep leveling your champs. Also pay attention to what champions are good and what champs are not.

Take the shortest path possible, which is phoenix, storm, quake, UC, Spidergwen and then Joe. Bait out their sp2s first. Make sure you focus on baiting out the specials. Don’t use champs with buffs, it’s a role reversal node so use the wrong class, and make sure to have something to deal with spidergwens evade.
