Relaxed Alliance running AQ + Raids, war optional
Chilled alliance (Marvel Black Ops), that prioritises cooperative gameplay with minimal ask, and an assumption that players will play most days, with a reasonable degree of intelligence and independence. We're looking to find replacements for a few less-active players. We don't use any external messaging like Line,…

Relaxed Map 6x4 Ally looking for players
Chilled alliance (Marvel Black Ops), that prioritises cooperative gameplay with minimal ask, and an assumption that players will play most days, with a reasonable degree of intelligence and independence. We don't use any external messaging like Line, Discord, etc. Most players are in the region of 6-8 million rating; with…

7* Science AG: Nefaria or Photon
Sadly it doesn't seem possible to run this as a poll; but please respond with a preference, and a reason if you have the time. I'm a long-playing Valiant and favour Quest-type stuff over Battlegrounds; which really isn't my favourite part of the game. I've used and liked Photon for a long time, and was planning to Awaken…

A few quirks about Strikers
I've been keeping track of a few weird things I've noted about Strikers. Some might be entirely predictable. Some might be unintended/bugs. Either way, I was finally inspired to write them down, by a recent thread (below), because I thought that these things might be worth being aware of, now that Kabam is working on new…

Celebrate Maestro's return to Battleworld!
So, reading this article about the upcoming Marvel series Battleworld made me think of MCOC for pretty obvious reasons. The series is going to feature Maestro, and a load of fan-favourites including Kushala*, Spiderman*, Luke Cage*, Winter Soldier*, Thor* Odin*, Wasp*, and Captain Marvel*. I know that MCOC's connection to…

For those who skip the dialogue: hints from the dialogue team to the rework team
So I saw someone name-checking "Vincent" as the 'dialogue guy' in another thread; which made me remember a few choice bits of dialogue from this month's EQ. I thought I'd share a few screenshots for the many people who skip the dialogue; or even skip EQ altogether (still my favourite part of the game 😉) I can't be certain,…

Complete buff designs for classic champions
This is a thread of updates for some of the oldest, classic champions in the game. We all know why they need it, so I won't dwell on that. I've aimed to keep it simple with all of these designs, as it seems Kabam are intending for the classic champions to be targeted at early players. It should be possible for skilled…

Deathless Vision is getting a Tune-up!
Balance information for the Deathless are here: https://playcontestofchampions.com/news/balance-update-isophyne-and-the-deathless/ Basically they're all considered okay, except DV who will enter the Rebalance pool. Let's not expect too much; but it's still good news. Oh, and Isophyne is apparently fine, and doesn't merit a…

Infinite power interaction with Count Nefaria
So, I just found a fun interaction, which I think is a bug with Count Nefaria's "Ionic overcharge" ability to gain power when it's denied to his opponent. If it's not a bug, then it's one heck of an ability... I just took Attuma through the Paragon Gauntlet because he's great for Red Skull, and I assumed that he'd be great…

Necropolis challenge proposal: is it crazy...
To try and do the second half of each path with the limited pool available? As someone who's only done a single run through Necropolis so far, I'm considering this. After all, if I've got to do two full runs for the full Thanos anyway, why not use these challenges to set myself up for full Exploration? But how does the…

AQ/Raids "Not Enlisted" Visual Bug
This last two weeks, there's been a visual bug in the Fights screen, where you choose between Story Quests, Side Quests, AQ, etc. My Alliance has run AQ for the last two weeks as usual; but the Fight selection screen has wrongly stated we aren't enlisted for anything. Week preceding Raids: Current (Raid) week: Quite a few…

Administrator Tags are back!
Hey folks, they've fixed the administrator tags - we can see where the Mods have commented again! I, for one, am very pleased by the enhanced visibility this will give the community team. Hopefully the Forums will start to feel a bit more like they used to, soon... Thanks Dork/Pinwheel/Crashed 🏆🥂

The juice ain't worth the squeeze...
Just wanted to open a discussion that I thought could be interesting: Which champions have potentially great damage which you just can't be bothered to access? I was thinking of this whilst using Quicksilver in War the other day: great champion, great utility, okay damage; and I'm very happy to have taken him to 5/65. But…

Can we stop missing information out of the official Spotlights, please?
Can whoever is uploading the Champion Spotlights please stop missing out information? Let's look at Beta Ray Bill's spotlight: Apparently, his SP3 generates a Resonance buff. That sounds important to understand. Except.. I can't. Despite there being Dev notes about it, I still don't actually know what a Resonance buff is…

Buff suggestions for the Summoner's Choice Rework
Hi there, Since the game team are offering to rework several classic champions, I thought I'd share some reworks I've posted previously for them. I haven't done any for Kamala or Black Bolt, as yet. Hopefully they'll just spark some discussion about what could be done with these classic champions. My designs below are…

Skill r3 for Valiant
Hi folks, So, I've just 100%ed 8.4, and I need to make a quick decision on a Skill r3 for Valiant; preferably before our Progression-linked gift on 26th, and the May calender starting a few days after that (plus, it's Level Up day...😉) I've not had the best of luck with 7* Skill pulls, but not terrible either. With my…

Nimrod has been bugged forever
I'm finally getting around to reporting something that's irritated me forever, when fighting Nimrod: his ability to Special Lock you, and mess up your rotations. So the text has always clearly said that this is an ability he has when defending a quest node. But it happens everywhere: - Practice mode - Arenas -…

Dani - is she actually good at what she's supposed to do?

I've stood up for Dani before in threads like…

Time for another as-it-happens Necropolis thread
Well, it's time. Cyber weekend has come and gone. I've done with Incursions for the month. AQ and War have just finished. And I've ground out a fairly insane number of revives in places I won't mention. It's fine for a Necropolis Run from a button-mashing hack. And since I'm on a personal thread count of 99, I figure the…

Update details are here - some great bug fixes/changes
Hi folks. The details of the next update are here: https://playcontestofchampions.com/news/v41-3-release-notes/ Whilst I'm sure a lot of people will be most interested in the Sandman buff (which I'll also cover in the second section), I primarily thought it might be worth flagging up a few of the smaller changes that might…

Did Blade just prevent Recoil Masteries?
Sorry, I don't have screenshots. But take my word for it: I just had this battle as I was grinding arenas: In the first fight, my opponent had Liquid courage + Double Edge running, so I thought 'okay, that'll make this quicker. Permanent Power Gain for Blade in the next fight'... Then my second fight was Blade Vs Ebony,…

War Machine's Prefights are absurdly powerful - if you're a 2* champion...
I posted an old thread a year back, asking if War Machine's Prefights are bugged (here). Anyway, it's been a year, and there's nothing on the Trello about War Machine. So, presumably, what I'm describing below is all fine...🤪. Sadly, it would be against Forum rules to bump my own Bugs thread from last year, so I decided to…

Are War Machine's Prefights bugged?
Hi guys. TL:DR - Tech attackers don't seem to get the right Attack boost from War Machines Prefight abilities. ------------------------------------- First off: not the important stuff like the Cleanse charges, and the Energy Resistance. Those seem to be working fine, as far as I can tell. But a bit of testing in RoL…

Impressive Civil Warrior cosplay
My news feed often gets a bit comics-heavy, and I got a link to a Screen Rant article about a Civil Warrior cosplay which I thought I'd share: https://screenrant.com/civil-warrior-cosplay-perfect-marvel-iron-captain-america/ It's a really decent cosplay - hopefully Kabam will approve! A couple of Instagram links: View this…

Yondu steals Proxima's Prowess through block
Playing against Yondu in the side-quest, I've run into an issue which seems like a bug; although may be a predictable consequence of however it is that the game calculates Ability Accuracy, and Ability Accuracy Reduction (AAR). Given that Yondu inflicts nasty bleeds through block and has non-contact attacks, I thought that…

A Miles Morales bug? Or is the problem my lack of faith?
Thoughts from the community, please... I have a problem using Miles Morales - his Camo doesn't appear to be reliable against Unblockable attacks. And I'm starting to suspect that the appearance of unreliability is a self-fulfilling prophecy: if it appears unreliable, it becomes unreliable. Read on... The text in his…

7* champs have higher Combat Power: how does this change things?
PSA: This is a really, really long thread. I've broken my main post into three, just to allow a bit of breathing space, and let people respond to different sections if they want to. Basically the title is the TL:DR, so if that's enough for you, you can stop reading now ---------------- Right, so you've been warned! Now…

Are there abilities we value in the classic/meme champions?
What abilities do we value in the classic/meme champions? I've been thinking about this on and off since the initial Hood buff led to a major display of unhappiness when the team 'buffed' him but removed his Fate Seal. He was a 'stronger' champion, but had lost a very specific and uncommon piece of utility. @Cat_Murdock…
