Event Proxima + Corvus...

Is nothing compared to Ebony Maw + Black Dwarf.

2nd revive Corvus gained around 300k hp. Don't know if Proxima gained any.

Yes, a lot easier but still challenging. Managed to 5/5 it. Think Loki will struggle with Corvus' extra health though. I think their damage has gone up by a lot as my Tier 2 Moon Knight actually had to evade some attacks! It's a bit cruel how they put Proxima last as she's far more likely to one shot your main character.

Their damage is the main thing killing me. It's not my damage for once, it's theirs.

I've managed 3/5, but my Proxima just can't survive more than one hit from WB Proxima.

Got another 5 wins. This time my non-BO teams consisted of the following:

  1. Black Bolt (Lead), T2 IF, Daredevil [T2 IF solo'd everything]

  2. SL (Lead), T2 SR, Vision [T2 Sharon solo'd everything]

  3. Ronan (Lead), Floki, Jane Foster [Floki for phase 1 and 2 of Corvus, Jane polished off phase 3 --> back to Floki to solo Proxima]

Admittedly, the last team only won with less than 15 seconds left, so YMMV.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, strikers were all dodge ignore (Black Widow, Agent 13, Mockingbird, Deathlok and Songbird)

What was your strategy with IF team? I haven't really seen a team that doesn't use Daisy or Warwolf to buff him.

1
ulam1•

I use a one time damage obelisk in lieu of Daisy, so every 7 seconds, I get 140% damage 1 time. Not the best, but it gets the job done (http://imgur.com/metbDME).

The point of Daredevil is that the union skill of IF and DD is a guaranteed 5 star, which makes for burning down WB's super fast.

As for BB, I only used him for the energy atk leadership, since my normal lead of She-Hulk would do nothing against Proxima.

Let me know if that answers your questions. Cheers

i used sh lead, t2 IF, and mk (for team bonus), 3 dodge ignore, proxima, and super giant as strikers. just face tanked it with IF. he has a recovery obelisk with a damage increase proc.

1
AnfooneTyphoon•

I keep trying to fade tank with T2 IF but he doesn't have enough dps unfortunately. But then again I am running a invincibility gear

1
notsam57•

try more ignore dodge strikers? maybe even 5 if you have them?

1
raynehk14•

I use him with the hello hell's kitchen team (luke cage & daredevil) since he'll always use his 5* for team up attack, and cage's leadership is useful against half of the world bosses

1
AnfooneTyphoon•

Will give that a try, not having much success today with him haha

1
Sunny4k•

I got my 5

I used:

  • SL-T2 SR-Vision

  • BB-Panther-Supergiant

  • Shulk-T2 IF-Floki

  • T2 Wiccan-T2 Widow-Thor

  • Proxima-T2 AM-YJ

Breezed through with plenty of time to spare

cbury•

Just used a t2 mk team, lost to proxima with literally less than 200 health on her left. Ran out of time and needed just one more second

2
NexusKnights•

Just barely got through with MK. 2 heavy strikers and the rest ignore dodge. Prox went down in about 1min 10 seconds but corvus takes ages to put down.

1
OPTCThunderbolts•

This is so much easier, even factoring in us having to use Ignore Dodge strikers. Ebony Maw being superbuffed is just a really bad balance decision when he spends most of his time underground.

The hard part of EM+BD is not the bosses, but time.

2
chmsax•

This, and the reason why I said "screw it" after doing my three (Thanos team, Sharon Rogers team, and Ronan/Prox/Warwolf). Not worth the effort.

1
OPTCThunderbolts•

I have lots of strong teams. I can 30/35 the World Bosses, I can 5/5 today's rift easily, and I can only beat EM+BD once. Not because it's hard. It's not. But the damn time.

Hyperion? Times out. Too slow to kill EM, not enough time for BD.

Loki? Same thing.

Carnage? Too slow to kill BD.

Sharon Rogers? Too slow to kill EM. Horrible match-up because her buff is typically wasted by EM's endless i-frames.

Even with this one, 5 minutes for two world bosses is an idiotic decision. At least make it six/seven minutes...

1
chmsax•

If it was 6 minutes, I would have gone 5/5 with ebony & dwarf without too many issues. There were several teams that were REALLY close there.

1
Malekith24•

Teams:

  1. SL/SR2/A13
  2. Ronan/Proxima/CapA.
  3. DL/Carnage2/Venom
  4. Elsa/MK2/WW
  5. CM/Daisy/IF2

Strikers: BW2, SongBird, Deathlok, a13 (Mocking when a13 or DL in main), Hype2

Conclusion: MUCH easier than the EM&BD combo, every run first try, each under 3mins.

2
Fenrox•

Yeah this one will only be annoying for forcing strikers.

1
OPTCThunderbolts•

It's not that bad. Unlike Ebony Maw spending ten minutes underground, you're always able to hit Corvus and Proxima.

1
sshu1224•

I've only tried with Thanos and T2 SR and it was easy but T1 teams may have trouble with Corvus' added health.

1
chmsax•

Thanos and SR are just button-mashers. No skill necessary, lol, which is perfect for me (no skillz here)

1
bk1991•

won 3 matches from last time, and 2 today, and no rank 2 bam, just 47-50, and rest same rewards as normal, terrible event

1
xDave9teen•

to be fair 50 rank 1 is one rank 2 bam.

2
dhm322•

More important is the 125k gold saved ;)

2
bk1991•

isnt it double that?

1
xDave9teen•

Nah rank 2 is 50 bam.

3
Revilo_X•

how much gold is needed to fuse rank 1 to 2?

chmsax•

I got 2 R2 BAM from Saturday's event, and 1/3 in rank 2 BAM so far today, with two more victories incoming.

1
jmckie1974•

Much easier than Maw/Dwarf. Although I didn't notice much difference with Corvus, it was Proxima who seemed harder than usual.

1
desync_detected•

It felt like PM was attacking more frequently. Almost no time between her attacks.

1
Switch72nd•

Got 3 with hype, thor, throot proxima, daisy, widow sharon, sl, silk

Floki was able to kill Corvus but not enough time to finish proxima. Got bored with it after that since the rewards aren't worth it and didn't run any other teams.

1
phtc13•

Managed to get 4 wins so far:

  1. Agent 13, T2 Sharon Rogers, Captain America

  2. Hyperion, T2 Iron Fist, T2 Groot

  3. Winter Soldier, T2 Moon Knight, Black Panther

  4. Singularity, Proxima Midnight, Daisy Johnson

I'm trying to get my 5th win using T1 Carnage, but I always run out of time with Proxima at ~50% health (Corvus alone takes nearly 4 minutes to beat). Did anyone have success with him?

1
chmsax•

I got win 3 with T2 Carnage, but that doesn't help your question. I think it'll be hard because of a lack of damage from Carnage.

1
WildcatTM•

Easier than the BD/EM. 4/5 with:

  • Carnage/Venom/Spidey
  • CG, Filler, Filler
  • Iron Fist, Angela, Gamora
  • SR, Agent 13, Filler

I want to try Hyperion later, but if I can't get the 5/5, I won't be terrible upset. Getting the extra 100 R1BAM drops me to under 5 days in having enough for HIM.

1
dhm322•

Could only get 4 wins with Proxima, Sharog, Carnage and Hyperion as the damage dealers, all T2. Just fell short with She hulk, Floki, Silk team, Silk T1 finishes Corvus in 4 mins, but because She hulk's leadership does not apply to Proxima, fell short by about a half minute or so(600k health on Prxoma remaining). Floki can't do shit against Corvus, her non-summon skills just don't do enough damage. Could only beat dwarf+Ebony twice, as I just got Carnage T2 and Proxima 6* today.

1
notsam57•

for floki, i used 4 dodge ignores and proxima as strikers, then spammed all her skills and hope proxima will use her 6*. got him down alittle past 3 minutes.

1
Realitey•

Only completed it with one team as shield lvl 39 with 18 rank 6s no rank 6 b.o sharon or sl pr ronan leads, T2 Gwenpool T2 MK WW

1
Smitty876•

Got 4 wins, too much trouble/time to get the 5th.

1
Trunksshe•

2 so far. (Sharon, Sharon, Captain; Spidey, Venom, Carnage.)

Corvus is easy, Proxima is getting to be a pain, however. I can probably manage 4 by the time it closes.

1
AnfooneTyphoon•

Had no idea about daredevil. Thank you so much!

1
_dadi•

Done it 4 times, with the following teams:

  1. Sharon Rogers
  2. Ronan - Proxima - Cap America
  3. She Hulk - Black Dwarf
  4. Wiccan T2 IF T2 Silk

First three were pretty easy last one harder. Could not make it work with Loki, just can't deal enough damage. Best with Loki was 300k.

1
LeonKartret•

Yeah. I ragequit Ebony "Bugged" Maw and Black "So-Little-Time" Dwarf after two completions. Too much effort for a half baked prize.

Now Prox and Corvus aren't bugged or don't have any immunity denying you of some heroes. Also, Corvus's evasion problem has been reduced since "all" T2's are coming with ignore dodge passives...
