Marvel Contest of Champions - Time Killer (1 Viewer)

I have like 13 4-star champs and none are duped and I have 2 T4 cats--Should I wait to dupe one before taking one to 4/40?
Not really IMHO, but it depends on what champs you have.

In my case my only remaining duped 3/30 is Abomination. I don't feel it is worth ranking him up when I have champs that I like better and have better synergies with my team (SIM, DD, Thor, Capt Marvel)
As it stands I have:

Black Widow

Rocket

Cap WW2

Yellow Jacket

Storm

Ultron

Ms Marvel

Colossus

Cap

Scarlet Witch

Ant-Man

Thor

Magneto

Juggernaut

Actually 14--I forgot about the Magneto that I hate
Out of these Thor, Scarlet Witch, Cap, Colossus, Ms Marvel, Ultron, Yellow Jacket, and Black Widow are all solid choices.

Scarlet Witch if you can dupe her is like a mini-Strange, but I am not fond of her unduped. Thor is also lackluster unduped, but comes alive when duped and is an absolute beast. Better to have a rank 4 than to not have one, so pick your favorite.
Think I should wait until I dupe one before taking someone to 4/40?

I wouldn't. Pick your favorite and roll with it. Assume that at some point in the future, you'll dup whomever you chose.

At most I'd say wait til you open your next 4* and see if you dupe one then go from there.

 
5-Star Champions are here!Their emergence within the Contest has been long speculated upon, and the day is now here. A few things you need to know about 5-Star Champions:

• They are obtained via 5-Star shards.

• 10,000 5-Star shards will be required in order to snag yourself a 5-Star Crystal.

• Upon release, 5-Star champions will not be immediately usable in arenas. We don’t want the first player obtaining a 5-Star champion to walk all over the competition. There will be a two week window while the team works on making some stamina-related changes in the game.

• That’s okay, because 5-Star champions will be difficult to obtain, and it may take players time to do so! Our intention with 5-Star champions is for them to be the best of the best, and a struggle to earn. As a result, players with 5-Star champions will truly be able to display them as a badge of pride.

• There are several ways that players can earn the shards needed for these prestigious champions: Event Quests, Alliance Events, Alliance Quests, Act 4, and duping 4-Star heroes.

• 5-Star champions will be much more powerful, but much harder to rank-up.

• They come with a brand-new mini-game feature that we’ll be sharing further details on over the next few weeks.

While we want to emphasize the power 5-Star champions will have, it is important to highlight that they will not instantaneously have complete supreme power over 4-Star heroes. As an example: A 4-Star, Rank 5, Level 50 is slightly weaker than a 5-Star, Rank 2, Level 35 (Which is the max level for a rank 2 5-Star).

The following characters will be released as the first wave of 5-Star champions, with more to come in the future:

Cosmic - Captain Marvel

Cosmic - Ronan

Mutant - Cyclops

Mutant - Storm

Mystic - Juggernaut

Mystic - Magik

Science - Spider-Man

Science - Rhino

Skill - Black Panther

Skill - Winter Soldier

Tech - Iron Man

Tech - Star-Lord

Have any questions or comments? Let us know.
This was the announcement. I'm pretty disappointed that my 4/40 is stronger than my 5*.

The mini-game on the level3 special is true though. Its just stopping a bar in the right zone. I haven't hit the sweet spot yet, but most of the time it adds 12% to my special.
You should request a refund through the Apple/Google stores. I have heard from other players that the 5* are not stronger than a 4/40 so I know better, but that announcement is misleading and makes them sound much stronger than they are. Once they release the items to level them further they will obviously be stronger, but who knows if/when they will do that and given the impossible nature of T4 Class Cats they may make them only obtainable to a select few.

 
Been killing it in Daily Fantasy lately, so I sent the whole alliance a major gifting crystal. Hopefully you guys get some 4* awakening gems out of them. If anyone wants to return the favor, its appreciated, but not necessary.

Even in the first run of this game I refused to pay a cent towards it, but between the old days when Hulk would buy units to get us over the hump in the dup event, and now this, I may need to put in money to get a gifting badge and sent you something.

I've spent too much on this game. I don't even want to count it up.

 
On the gifting event:

If you're considering buying any items over the next two weeks ( especially cores for masteries ), we could check in here to see if there are any others looking to do the same.

Matching gifts = the same number of units spent per person, but we advance the event score. For example, I'm considering opening double edge, which will cost me 1100 units for the two carbo cores. If anyone else in the alliance is looking for two carbo cores ( or two guys looking for one each ) gifting them will be a great way to hit some of the milestones at no additional cost than spending the same amount on ourselves.

I am likely going to do Recovery as my next mastery which is 6 Stony Cores at 135 units each, or 810 units. If you can think of a way to do this and have it make sense for us, let me know.
 
Wife should've let me buy a PS4, would've been cheaper
Than what you've spent overall or what you spent today? I hope you mean overall. And thanks for the gift, it's very much appreciated.
Overall, not today.Though that did just cost me 8100 units
You're an animal hulk, thanks again.
:goodposting:
+1.

Most appreciated.
Ditto

 
The 11 of us that have sent no gifts know their missing out on some sweet rewards, right? Including 275 units.

Send someone a duel credit for 5 units at minimum, just to get the rewards.

 
I'd be fine doing it....if it wasn't behind a 30 dollar pay wall.

Really appreciate that you've sent me the stuff you've sent, but I'm not giving Kabam cash.

 
Same boat as Finkle...if they come up with a Canadian Boxing Day deal that gives me some T4s for buying that god forsaken badge I may fold though if I'm drunk enough.

For now this is my thought as well. When I started playing I decided I wasn't going to put any money into it, now that I have seen how Kabam treats their customers I am even less inclined to give them any of my money. Hulk, thanks for your Hollliday gifts though.

 
Oh, if you don't have a badge, I don't blame you.

Is that 4* shard offer still up? Between that and the free gifting stuff, it might be worth it. I approve of your moral stance though.

 
I don't even have a credit card linked to my google play account, that way there is zero chance that one of my kids buys something when they are playing games on my phone. Also makes it harder for me to drunken buy things.

 
They do still have the shard deal, but knowing I could've gotten a T4 on Black Friday makes me hard pressed to buy that now, as it would just make me extra bitter.

I mentioned this in chat yesterday. I appreciate the gift, and if I could re-gift or pass along I would do so in order to pay it forward.

 
Yeah, I don't think any of us mind at all if someone doesn't want to have to pay to gift.

I didn't even know I had the badge, must have gotten it when I bought the Tier4's for Black Friday.

There is NO PRESSURE to gift anything.

If you can though, sending out a 5 unit duel credit nets you 265 units + several other goodies.

If you don't have the badge, no worries.

If you're on the fence about ever buying $30 worth of units, now is the time to do it though, because this is the best return you'll see on that $30.

When does that 4 star shard offer expire? Wondering if they'll put the t4s back up again for Christmas.

I was worried that you were gonna track me down and send me animal poop. I like the other gifts better.

 
Finally finished with coulson, some of those matches were quite a grind. Fist was same as the others and got solo'd. Cage gave me a lot of trouble this time for some reason, took 3? revives and a lot of aggregation. Ronan took the most revives since I had to use Ms Marvel due to poison, and obviously doesn't regen. Ultron, Kang and Thanos were all pretty easy, think I used two revives between the three of them. The thanos fight may have been the easiest one, but it tested your patience like no fight I've had since ROL wolverine. Anywho, it's done and I got some sweet rewards, and will now have 2 4* crystals tomorrow, 4* hulkbuster, and another champ to take to 4/40.

 
Is it just me, or do Kabam's servers seems to blow up about every third 3v3 tournament?

Haven't been able to get on in an hour. There goes any hope of me hitting the standard 4* most likely, since I didn't go mad grinding Christmas day.

Ah, well.

I'm still a class t3 short, but I need to decide who to rank up with my T4s.

My non dup options are Wolvy, Ultron, Thor, Gamora, and Yellow Jacket, but I'd prefer to rank up a dup.

For dups, I've got Cage, Fist, and a double duped Rocket.

I prefer Cages fighting style and I love that he is a tank with the indestructible ability. He stacks exhaustion which isn't great for arenas but who really cares as it all comes down to quest performance. So I'm leaning that way.

Thoughts?

 
I have no idea how Cage is since I don't have him, but he would probably be top pick since you like him and he is a tank which should be nice for AQ. Other than that, Ultron is solid all-around and a favorite for most people in AQ. Wolverine is solid especially when duped, and I really love YJ

 
I've also never used Cage, but I've done a 180 on Ultron and am suggesting everyone take him (even unduped) to 4/40 ahead of probably everyone except Strange.

Eventually we're going to advance to map 4 or 5, where I think all of Ultron's abilities and immunities count for more. So ranking him is a safe long-term play.

 
On Map 4/5 hard hitters are what you need. I'm fighting against 6-12k opponents, and they're just regular opponents.

You really need to build a team for the lanes you take (definitely need lane assignments because there are 8 lanes per section).

Types of lanes:

Heal block + 100% health & attack

Need hard hitters with good blocking. Depends on the opponent who you should bring. If one has stacked armor you need one like a duped Thor.

Poison + heal block

MM/BB are a good choices, Ultron less since he doesn't regen due to heal block. L3 takes too long, 3 min for these fights can be short. And Magneto is on that lane.

Bleed + 100% health & attack

WP doesn't help here, tried it several times. 80-90% health lost without getting hit due to the long fights.

Ultron has his advantages here.

125-200% attack & health

Most champs are a good choice. Really make sure you don't get hit. And if you block, make sure they're good blockers.

Most used champs in my alliance are:

- Strange

- Cap / Cap WWII

- Ms Marvel

- Scarlet Witch

- Thor

- very few BW/DD only for those science lanes

(None is using Ultron/SIM/IM/Hulk/Electro in AQ atm. Only 1 SL in all 3 groups)

Kabam is really spamming deals now. I need 1 more t4 mystic, but paying 50 bucks for a t4 deal and 83% chance it's something different doesn't feel right lol. Got a decent units deal (3x TS briefcase). So i can pay 50 bucks for some units and a t4 crystal, or 30 bucks for 2550 units. I don't really need the units...

Hope to get 1 crystal from AQ ranking so i can leave the deals for what they are.

 
Woot, what does your alliance typically score in the SA?

We're about 500k this time and I'm wondering if we should press on for rank or not.

We always score between 450k and 700k. Give us the 6-20% rewards. My advice: more points won't get you (much) better rewards. Don't score points to score more points, if it happens great, but don't spend to just get more points. Expensive points that would be. Better to save some for next SA imo.

Here we have quite a lot of ppl who spend a bit, and 70% of us win 4*'s every arena so a lot of duping, leveling and ranking points. Some even win featured champs every now and then.

Here i'm just a regular player. Team rating (125k) is below average, top 3-5 in AQ BG, arena events top 10 and other events 10-25.

 
Thanks to everyone for their generosity with the gifting event, but especially Hulk, Volshen, and Ballah. never would have imagined we would even participate in a gifting event, let alone hit all milestones.

 
You know what sucks? I've got 4 tier 4 class cats now. 2 tech and 2 mystic. I'm pretty sure it will be months before I get a 3rd of either.

 
I hate this ####### game.

I finally got another 4 star crystal. What do I get? A 4 star ####### Magneto. Not the Magneto Marvel Now, mind you. No, the OTHER Magneto. So now I have two 4* Magnetos rather than 1 silver.

#### you game.

I personally hate Magneto, BUT he has some excellent synergies. You're on your way to building a perfect block team.

Yeah but what good is a 4* Magento Marvel Now and a 4* Magneto? 2 4* mutants would be bad enough, but the same damn one, but not the same enough to dupe? SUCKS.
