Marvel Contest of Champions - Time Killer (2 Viewers)

[5-ish Finkle]

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?

If you land a 4* Cyclops and rank them all to 4 you won't take any damage when you block if you have the proper masteries. That's what good they are.

Hell, you can probably get it by using a 3* Cyke who is max rank with the two Magentos if one of them is rank 4.

I can all but guarantee I don't have the right masters.

You only need 1. Block Proficiency.

Do you have 3* Cyclops and 3* Red Magneto?

The two red Magnetos would add 35% Block Proficiency from their synergy with Cyclops. The mastery add 4% more. This is enough to make guys like Capt America reduce all incoming damage to 0 with a block. Every time.

Since you only have 2 4*s, you might need it a bit higher, but add in 3* Black Bolt and you're there for sure.

Example Quest Lineup:

4* Red Magneto, 3* Red Magneto, 3* Cyclops, 3* Black Bolt, Whoever You Want

This lineup would reduce any blocked hit to 0 damage. You can cruise through the quest mode now. I suggest you 100% Act 3 to get a couple of 4* Crystals as rewards and further your lineup.

 

[Harry Manback]

I don't think I have a Cyclops 3*.

I have Cap, Storm 3*, and both Magentos are 4*

 

[(HULK)]

I don't think I have a Cyclops 3*.

I have Cap, Storm 3*, and both Magentos are 4*

How about a 3* Black Bolt?

You should be able to get the 3*s more quickly. Keep doing the quest acts. Your 2 Magnetos should carry you through 1 and 2 easily.

When you've got the roster I outlined above, you should be able to dominate through Act 3 (FWIW, I did Act 3 with 0 4*s, they used to be much harder to get).

 

[TenTimes]

The good thing about 2 Magnetos instead of 1 awakened is you have more numbers for the arena.

I'm not sure what Magneto's sig ability is (looks like some kind of defense), but personally I'd prefer to have the 2 unawakened.

 

[woot]

Magneto (original) is very effective in specific cases:

- Synergies for perfect block team

- His L2 does a heal block, great for act 4 quests where the opponent has permanent regen

Everybody has some 4* who they keep pulling. Mine are Spidey and Black Bolt.

@Hulk, your 5* Ronan should be badass in act 4.3! My 4* is extremely good in 2 cases, your 5* must totally kick ###!

If you land a 4* Cyclops and rank them all to 4 you won't take any damage when you block if you have the proper masteries. That's what good they are.

Hell, you can probably get it by using a 3* Cyke who is max rank with the two Magentos if one of them is rank 4.

Pretty hard to land on a 4* Cyclops since he's only obtainable through RoL. 3* should be enough though.

 

[(HULK)]

@Hulk, your 5* Ronan should be badass in act 4.3! My 4* is extremely good in 2 cases, your 5* must totally kick ###!

Eh. If he was awoken, he'd make Venom a lot easier. As is... he's on my squad, but not the strongest.

Currently running:

5*2/35 Ronan

4*4/40 Ms. Marvel (awoken to like 55 I think)

4*4/40 Iron Man (awoken to 60)

4*4/40 Hulk (not awoken)

4*3/30 Thor (awoken to 80)

Ronan is 3rd place at best. I never really used him much previously though, so I'm still getting used to him.

Unduped he is still very good in act 4.3. I've used my unduped 4* and wrecked it

I'm running about 3 sets of teams for quests, depends on the paths i take and feel like playing with Haven't been using some 4/40's recently in quests.

Really stupid of Kabam to say a rank 2 5* is almost as strong as a 5/50 4*, which is totally not the case. Pulled a 5* Cyclops 2 weeks ago, PI not even close to some 4*'s at 4/40. Health and strength about the same, but compared to a 5/50? No ####### way..

Yeah. I am really really pissed at how weak my 5* is. They blatantly lied on that point. Rank 2 5* roughly equivalent of Rank 4 4*. Not stronger than a rank 5 4* by any measure.

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.

I understand the frustration of two mutants as your first two, but both magnetos are very good champs. L2 is super deadly and has heal block, plus they have good synergies.

You can't land a 4* cyclops. He's only obtainable by beating the ROL.

You're crazy for ranking up that unduped hulk over that Thor. He'd be an absolute beast. I hope that's your next rankup to 4/40

I wanted the synergies for the AQ. Ms. Marvel and Ronan were locked in. Iron Man and Hulk were the best synergy fits. Plus, with my mastery set up, poison immunity champs are fantastic. Hulk heals 44 points per tick, thats damn useful. On guys who can be poisoned, the setup drops down to a much lower heal (because poison reduces heals by 30%).

Also, my username imo.

Thor is next most likely. Although I need to rank up a Mystic soon as I have 2 mystic T4s. No idea when I'll get a 3rd, but I want to be ready. I'll probably do Dr. Strange over my awoken Iron Fist, even though I love fighting with Fist and hate fighting with Strange. I dunno, I keep waffling. Other options are awoken Juggs or non-awoken SWitch. If SWitch was awoken, I'd go with her fo sho.

Going Thor next allows me to delay that decision. Plus, synergy wise, he works well with my other high level guys. So, probably going Thor. I need to practice my parry, get the hang of it again, cause that makes him redonkulous.

I just figured it was because you are hulk and I know you've been dying to dupe him. I get the poison immunity angle too. And since he is your name. I still don't have a damn Thor and that's where my username comes from.

Top 2 most preferred champs that I don't have are Thor + dupe and dupe my starlord.

If you awaken your SW, that's a no brainer, especially since you don't like strange. She is unstoppable, and a lot of fun to play with. I generally like using her over strange.

I asked this once in chat but forgot to check back for an answer. Why does everyone have such a hard on for 4* Thor, especially unduped? He is the last 4* I got and I haven't done a thing to him yet. Once he is duped the Ragnarok ability is nice, but why all the love for his standard abilities?

The love is only for him duped.

His special 3 does massive damage. Dupe him, parry someone, and drop a 3 and bam, guy is dead. On AQ bosses and the like, you might need to stack 2 parry armor breaks, same thing. In the Realm, stack 3 and bam, dead super buffed guy.

Personally, I still can't parry well enough to do it reliably.

Parry, let the guy recover, parry again. The armor break lasts a while, like 8 seconds or so.

A lot of the hard ons are for me. I'd love to have him, duped or not. Always been a huge fan of Thor. And obviously you can't dupe him until you have him unduped. But like hulk explained, once duped he's an unstoppable force. One of the biggest changes from unduped to duped in the game.

I have him, ranked to 4, but he's pretty lackluster unduped.

Agree with most of this. I love Thor, even unduped because he's fun to fight with and his animations rock.

Awakened he's very nearly on the level of Dr. Strange as an "I win" button IMO, particularly if you can manage to duplicate him multiple times(as he does more damage vs. stunned opponents the more times he's duplicated). With Parry and Stupefy masteries loaded up Thor usually ends fights FAST. My 3* version has been duped a bunch for a while and it's awesome. Wish I realized how much of a difference it made back when I had a shot at the 4* Thor in the non-vet bracket. Would have absolutely ground out those arenas if I knew then what I know now.

Hmmmm.

When you stun an opponent, it adds that armor break, which lasts longer than the stun does. That armor break is what gives him that massive damage.

If you add max Parry and Stupefy, the stun will get longer, but does the armor break get longer? I might have to max Parry and Stupefy next if so.

 

[(HULK)]

FYI, my current mastery setup. I was going to complete "Stand Your Ground" next, but maybe I should go Parry/Stupefy, especially since Thor is on my quest team.

Offense:

Strength: 1

Greater Strength: 1

Pierce:1

Lesser Precision: 1

Greater Precision: 5

Lesser Cruelty: 1

Greater Cruelty: 5

Courage: 1

Glass Cannon: 1

Recoil: 1

Liquid Courage: 3

Double Edge: 3

Defense:

Vitality: 1

Greater Vitality: 1

Salve: 1

Recovery: 3

Block Proficiency: 4

Perfect Block: 1

Stand Your Ground: 4

Willpower: 3

Coagulate: 3

Utility:

Limber: 1

Parry: 1

Dexterity: 1

FYI, this build is $$$ with poison immune champs. Since 3 of my top guys are immune to poison, its pretty awesome for me. Its also great if you want to end fights more quickly. When your light hit can crit for 1500 and med for over 2K, its easy to win. If you're not using poison immune guys, heal blocks will destroy you, so don't copy me unless you're regularly using poison immune guys.

Anyways, I'm not sure where to put my next points. I was thinking Lesser Precision, Courage, or Pierce. But if upping Parry and adding Stupefy extends Thor's armor break, then I might need to go there instead.

His special 3 does massive damage. Dupe him, parry someone, and drop a 3 and bam, guy is dead. On AQ bosses and the like, you might need to stack 2 parry armor breaks, same thing. In the Realm, stack 3 and bam, dead super buffed guy.

Personally, I still can't parry well enough to do it reliably.

I never use his L3, they're already KO before i reach that

My Thor is duped at 4/40, his L2 takes wrecks everyone. I almost feel sad for the opponent when the fight starts.

A quick way to stack armor breaks is to almost fill your L2. Then parry, throw your L1, do a punch and L1 again. There is a 3x armor break. Since the opponent is still stunned it's like hitting a cloth. Very effective against amor heavy guys like IM, HB, SIM, IP.

Hmmmm.

When you stun an opponent, it adds that armor break, which lasts longer than the stun does. That armor break is what gives him that massive damage.

If you add max Parry and Stupefy, the stun will get longer, but does the armor break get longer? I might have to max Parry and Stupefy next if so.

Parry and Stupefy only increase the stun duration, not the other effects. Max Stupefy is still very good, it gives me the chance to give 5 hits when stun starts, and before the stun is over start a new 5 hit combo.

I still don't get the love for DE and LC. It gives a nice PI increase for arena's but thats the only advantage. It's totally not needed for RoL, Coulson and arena fights are very easy without it. It does however have disadvantages in AQ and Act 4. In my alliances ppl started to drop it since we started with map 5.

I still don't even have him in 3*. I think kabam is messing with me.

Say what now?

 

[(HULK)]

DE/LC/WP/RCVRY in a poison immune champ is a health generating battery. Its awesome in AQ. For example, my Hulk is gaining 88 health per second for the first 20 seconds of every fight. That's + 1760 health per fight.

For Map 3 I'm running 5* Ronan, 4*4/40 Ms. Marvel, and 4*4/40 Iron Man.

If we do Map 4 ever, I'll swap in my 4*4/40 Hulk for Iron Man.

Heal block nodes wouldn't be fun still, but the rest of the fights, I'm gaining health back typically.

It is absolutely worth it for +60% attack.

If you're not running poison immunes, I could see dropping LQ. But DE? That's money for everybody.

 

[Mr. Yuk]

A little play style thing I figured out, maybe you are all doing it this way already-

When blocking, I used to hold my left thumb pretty far left on the screen. I could dash forward easily from this position, but can't evade from the blocking position. I think I was having to pick my thumb up, move it forward, and then swipe back for an evade out of block, which would leave me vulnerable for a split second.

Now I'm trying it with my left thumb further right, pretty much directly on my champ. Now I'm able to evade or dash forward out of a block without having to lift my thumb. I seem to be evading more consistently and parrying more easily now.

 

[(HULK)]

If anyone wants to swap the 3rd version of greater gifting, I'll do up to ten. Pm me here or in the game.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Parry and Stupefy only increase the stun duration, not the other effects. Max Stupefy is still very good, it gives me the chance to give 5 hits when stun starts, and before the stun is over start a new 5 hit combo.

I have stupefy maxed and I cant come anywhere close to getting back to back 5-hit combos

Wish I realized how much of a difference it made back when I had a shot at the 4* Thor in the non-vet bracket. Would have absolutely ground out those arenas if I knew then what I know now.

Hmmmm.

When you stun an opponent, it adds that armor break, which lasts longer than the stun does. That armor break is what gives him that massive damage.

If you add max Parry and Stupefy, the stun will get longer, but does the armor break get longer? I might have to max Parry and Stupefy next if so.

The armor break is certainly helping, but It's right there in the verbiage for his signature ability. Stunned opponents are damaged more.

"...while opponents dazed by the Thunder God become 107.3% more vulnerable for "That Which Smashes""

That % is a sliding scale based off of how many times Thor has been duplicated.

Parry and Stupefy only increase the stun duration, not the other effects. Max Stupefy is still very good, it gives me the chance to give 5 hits when stun starts, and before the stun is over start a new 5 hit combo.

I have stupefy maxed and I cant come anywhere close to getting back to back 5-hit combos

That's odd. I have it maxed and it's basically guaranteed I'm hitting the opponent 5 more times if it procs.

I may be misunderstanding---Are we stunning, hitting them 5x.....opponent is still stunned and we start another 5-hit combo?

I'm like 0 for 14 on awakening crystals. Seems like they drop for everyone but me.

If I do ten, I'll probably dupe Kang.

That's how my luck rolls. I can have everything except an awoken Hulk.

Ah, yeah a little bit of misunderstanding maybe. I was just saying hit 5 times, Parry for stun, start another 5 hit combo if you can get the timing for Parry right. In theory, if your timing was fantastic you could maybe stun lock the opponent til they were dead(or at least until they got one of their specials and quickly fired it between stuns).

It also works if you hit them 4 times while they are blocking, then Parry on the 5th "hit"(same timing as if you were still attacking). That seems to work a lot for me.

So I am moving States this weekend, won't be on much at all for the AQ.

Thanks for heads up, good luck with your move and new job.

I asked this once in chat but forgot to check back for an answer. Why does everyone have such a hard on for 4* Thor, especially unduped? He is the last 4* I got and I haven't done a thing to him yet. Once he is duped the Ragnarok ability is nice, but why all the love for his standard abilities?

The love is only for him duped.His special 3 does massive damage. Dupe him, parry someone, and drop a 3 and bam, guy is dead. On AQ bosses and the like, you might need to stack 2 parry armor breaks, same thing. In the Realm, stack 3 and bam, dead super buffed guy.

Personally, I still can't parry well enough to do it reliably.

I never use his L3, they're already KO before i reach that

My Thor is duped at 4/40, his L2 takes wrecks everyone. I almost feel sad for the opponent when the fight starts.

A quick way to stack armor breaks is to almost fill your L2. Then parry, throw your L1, do a punch and L1 again. There is a 3x armor break. Since the opponent is still stunned it's like hitting a cloth. Very effective against amor heavy guys like IM, HB, SIM, IP.

Hmmmm.When you stun an opponent, it adds that armor break, which lasts longer than the stun does. That armor break is what gives him that massive damage.

If you add max Parry and Stupefy, the stun will get longer, but does the armor break get longer? I might have to max Parry and Stupefy next if so.

Parry and Stupefy only increase the stun duration, not the other effects. Max Stupefy is still very good, it gives me the chance to give 5 hits when stun starts, and before the stun is over start a new 5 hit combo.

I still don't get the love for DE and LC. It gives a nice PI increase for arena's but thats the only advantage. It's totally not needed for RoL, Coulson and arena fights are very easy without it. It does however have disadvantages in AQ and Act 4. In my alliances ppl started to drop it since we started with map 5.

I still don't even have him in 3*. I think kabam is messing with me.

Say what now?

Yeah it's getting pretty absurd. I'm fairly certain he's the only 3* that I don't have other than a few of the newer ones that aren't in crystals yet. :'(

Finally got enough tier 4s to take someone to 4/40 - looking for input on which 4* to level up:

Currently have a duped Ms Marvel at 4/40 as my big gun. I normally take her, a duped Iron Man (3/30) and an unduped Thor (3/30) on AQs. Leaning towards leveling up one of these two because Thor is awesome if he gets duped, and Iron Man currently hits like a little girl, and would like him to have a bit more pop.

Other duped 4*s are Black Widow and Hulkbuster.

Other unduped 4*s that might be worth considering are Storm, Capt. Marvel, Gamora, Star Lord, and Scarlet Witch. Also a Moon Knight, but haven't used him much yet.

I would go Iron Man or Black Widow. If either have synergy with Ms Marvel that would give them the edge for me.

I'm hesitant to level up anyone who is just ok unduped- with no more AQ 4* shards we're not going to be getting 4* as frequently as we used to, it could be a long time before duping some of these.

I think we will be getting T4s more frequently now, so I think it makes sense to rank up your best for now, worry about who is better duped later.

BW is a beast, and dickies has a lot of AQ success with his duped 4/40 HB.

All of those unduped ones you named are awesome if you dupe any of them. If you go with any of them I'd say either storm, SW or starlord.

I would go for BW, no doubt. She's extremely good, especially with max cruelty. Storm or Gamora would be my second option.

CM is the same as MM, which you already have at 4/40. SL is not more then average unduped, MK is only good on specific days, SW is very good duped, maybe more then average unduped.

If you can wait, you can go for SW in one of the coming arena's to dupe her, then she would be my pick.

 

[(HULK)]

So, next AQ, do map 4 d1 then drop down to map 3?

We're pretty much crushing map 3 right now.

 

[Polish Hammer]

Finally have enough to take a 4* to rank 4 during next Summoner Advancement. Which of these would you go for? (Only one duped is RR.)

Tech - Rocket Raccoon Iron Man Ultron The Vision

Cosmic - Gamora Thor Symbiote Spiderman Black Bolt

Skill - Black Widow

Science - Electro Captain America

Mystic - Iron Fist Magik

If it is any consideration, I already have 1 Cosmic T4 Cat and 2 Mystic T4 Cats. For Class ISO have most of Tech and Sci, almost none of Cosmic right now. Lots of Mutant, but obviously no Mutant 4*.

Which masteries are you running? Ultron and The Vision allow you to use LQ/DE with no real penalty. Plus, they're awesome for poison nodes.

Strangely, I prefer champs that are poison immune but still bleed (as bleeding turning into a heal engine with WP/Coag). The only one of those you have is Black Bolt.

One of those 3 would be my pick. The farther you get in the story quests, the more you need poison immunity.
