Unlike Fortunatas, Night Widows cannot have both Follow Up and Build Up at the same time. Check to see if you have selected both.

Uncle Shags is right really depends on the build. You can completely ignore all Epic/Patron pools on some builds.

You want to look up Crabbermind builds in this forum for ideas. I have seen some really creepy costumes using the crabpack as if it was a real spider. So, experiment. You can fake a Crab/Bane, meaning you can have a Bane with the crabpack, but you will only use Bane powers. The crabpack would be purely cosmetic. 1. Level a Bane 2. Use /selectbuild 2 to switch your alternative build number 2 3. Level a Soldier to level 24 and select some Crab powers. 4. /selectbuild 1 now you will have a crabpack on your Bane build. Again, only cosmetic. The glitch with soldier costumes is that if you take a crab power on any of that characters builds. All costume will have a crabpack that you cannot remove. The only way to remove the crabpack is to /respec and remove all Crab powers from all builds.

Has this patch been deployed yet? I didn't see a new badge when I logged in.

Night Widow with three builds. Build: 1. General Content 2. Night Tank build for soloing difficult content 3. PUG tank be the aggro control for the team or league

Yep, it's very nice combined with that Shield Wall piece. 8% resists to everything for the cost of two slots. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Shield_Wall:_Teleportation_Protection,_%2BRes(All)

Yes, you will have to switch back to Rogue/Villain to run the Patron arc. After you get the badge, you can switch back to blue.

Check your team tab, make sure you're not on a team. Make sure you have trained up to 50. Not just got to 50. Respec outside of an SG base. Trying respec'ing another character. You don't have to complete it, just see if it's not an account issue. All else fails, open a support ticket.

Ranged Banes can solo, but single target damage is not great. Mace melee banes can solo just fine with the understand that they can be a bit fragile. My fully built out melee Bane can solo most groups at 4x8. Pretty much anything a 4x4. Ranged Banes are great on teams, so much support and AOE damage. Need more defense, check, need -resists, check, need AOE immobilize and damage... Remember you can have up to three builds per character. So, why not both types.

Yep, you hit the bug. If all the AVs die then the mission completes, but at least you got the reward.

VEAT toggles are cheap and I don't proc out my AOEs which saves a lot of endurance.

Ageless is all I need at 50, running Muscular not Cardiac. Not running out of endurance at sub 50 either. I don't use serums on this toon either. That is with dozens of hours of playtime at least. Endurance is not an issue.

General advice to take out specific mobs which buff/support/heals to speed things up. There are three villains that drop triage beacon and at least one shield gen. Good news is that they have weak healers, Fallen something is the primary healer. Generally, fighting against the heroes is harder. As they have multiple good support sets. Ether needs to die quickly as she has both a single and AOE heal which she uses often. Holo man can really mess things up, because his phantom army will distract a lot of villains. This causes a lot of them to die or worse tie up one of the AVs, which leads to a lot of villains dying. In general once any mob uses it's T9, unless you're doing psi damage just ignore them and let the AV/Heroes take them out. I guess I should create a guide.

What was your brute secondary? There are several controller types on the villain side.

Pretty sure you have to defeat all the AVs. We usually take Black Scorpion out first, then Ghost Widow, Lord Recluse is third, so we have not tried taking out LR first.

Currently due to the bug. Once, you defeat the AVs as a hero/vig you get the gift and the mission completes kicking you out.

All good suggestions, which I'll write down. You can catch me on Homecoming discord. Usually in the VEATs forums. Or just IM here.

But that's boring. 😛 Soloing it is a lot of fun, just treat the audience as your teammates.

Glad you figured it out. I will have better UIs next major release to avoid this kinds of issues. As for the overlay not staying on top. There is an issue, where have to run the COH client in windowed mode for the overlay to stay on top. MS Windows makes it very hard to get an overlay to stay on top of a full screen application. I am researching a solution. Thank you for using it!

Could you paste the contents of your overlay.bat file here?

The Nemesis option is the quickest way to get one of the badges, but there is no direct badge. The only reward is what you got. There is a bug though:

There are three waves, you quit just before the end.

If you want to actively soloing it. Support toons works well, because they keep the audience alive. Having 20 bosses fighting for you helps a lot. Trick Arrow/Storm Defender 5:20 solo at 4x8.

This appears to be an alignment issue. Rogues do *not* run into this issue, but Cdo. Once, you kill all the AVs as a Vigilante, the missions completion text appears and you are kicked a few seconds later.

4x8 with AVs/Heroes. Running as Vigilante. First run, pulled some audience while waiting for AVs to spawn. Once, we took down the AVs, the mission completion dialog appeared rewarding the pet appeared and then kicked up out. We had *not* aggroed any of the heroes. Lots of time left. Next round we charged in once the AVs spawned and took on everyone, AVs, Heros, all of the audence, at once. We were down to Manticore when the missions suddenly completes and kicked us out. We had plenty of time, like 15+ mins left. I think that once you defeat all the AVs the mission completes, but not certain.
