I may be getting sick and need to save my voice for at least one video - gonna consolidate streams and plan to hold a double watch party for both deep dives (hopefully) tomorrow. Until then, enjoy checking out Vox! 

So since the footage for my most recent war was lost, I figured I'd walk through the fights I took for those curious. 

Team: Rank 5 Mister Fantastic (Reed), Rank 4 She-Hulk (yay power sting synergy), Rank 4 Toad

-She-Hulk vs Mordo on Node 3 Spiked Armor - worked beautifully, very quick: highly recommend
-Mister Fantastic vs Longshot on Node 19 Right Back At It, Aggression Prowess - clean solo, lost almost no health, very much me flexing my comfort with Reed and the fact that he's rank 5: would not recommend
-She-Hulk vs Rank 5 Thing on Node 23 Scared Stiff Miniboss - soloed but it was expensive. I knew there was risk of her furies ramping too high relative to protection and expected to have to wait for them to fall off. I did not clock the degree to which doing so would expose me to being rooted. It only happened once, but I'd already lost my invulnerability to an input error and he of course spammed heavies, which hurt. Would do again with some adjustments, but would be very careful to recommend to others.
-Mister Fantastic vs Apocalypse on Node 25 Power Snack Miniboss - have done before, super clean, one of the best options; highly recommend
-Mister Fantastic vs Tigra on Node 28 Return Policy - stupid easy, she threw a single Sp1: highly recommend
-Mister Fantastic vs Ikaris on Node 38 Hard Knock Life, Passively Special - very clean, didn't even use prefights: recommend
-She-Hulk vs Rank 5 Scorpion on Node 39 Ebb and Flow Intercept - worked fine, mostly functioned via power stings, knew going in it wouldn't be as smooth as it could be: don't really recommend
-Mister Fantastic vs Absorbing Man on Node 50 Safeguard Miniboss - excellent counter, never once refined, regen was shut down completely after the first Sp2, took a couple minutes because of Safeguard, but never in any danger: highly recommend
-Toad vs Mantis on Node 53 Polka Dot Power Miniboss - the single best counter, bar none, completely brainless. I started with a regen boost so that her tranquilize would be disabled, baited a heavy to get an opening for a MM combo to inflict a poison, and the fight was basically over. Took ~40s and two Sp1s.
-Mister Fantastic vs Rintrah on Node 55 Limber Miniboss - I made some poor choices early on and this would've been a lot easier with a HoX prefight, but still pretty safe if you can counter the Sp1: cautiously recommend.

So far still deathless! Sorry I don't have footage of these. 

For anyone who pulled a new champion from the featured crystal today and isn't quite sure where to start on making the most of them, check out this playlist of me walking through their abilities on their initial release.

Some of you heard me mention in a recent livestream that I'm raising money this month for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals with Extra Life, with matching donations from Kabam. The culmination will be a marathon stream on November 5th, but until then, please consider donating through my page here:

Quick post about war 3 - I lost the footage for or forgot to record most of it, so there won't be a video, but so I'm not hiding it - I did die, twice (second time off a 40% revive). Long and short of it is I should've dueled Bishop's L2 more. Hope to have a good war 4 for y'all this weekend. 

Thanks for everyone who came out to this morning's stream. Texas power grid strikes again. 

I'm still on vacation, but turns out this video may have just become relevant again:

Enjoy the return of the Grandmaster's Gauntlet! Forum post is here:

TL;DR - it's permanent Everest content now, and you can get full rewards even if you did last time. I look forward to making content on this again soon. 

Gonna be a sparse week as I'm in the process of moving, but I'll do war vids when I can, and I'll be back on stream in the second week of August. See y'all then! 

Apologies about the phantom stream - I think my mouse was still plugged into my streaming laptop as I was trying to switch it over to my work one, and it managed to be perfectly on top of the OBS "Start Streaming" button, it seems... One in a million, I guess. 

An update for anyone missing the streams this weekend - I have family in town and am focusing on that, but I will be back tomorrow afternoon. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the break from AW, if that applies.
