Best Of

You’ve been complaining about that champ all day, brother. It’s fine you don’t enjoy him, he’s definitely not for everybody but you should’ve tested him out before taking him to r3 to see if you enjoy him cuz new isn’t always shiny.

I for one enjoy his animations and design. He’s a fun champ that mainly takes mutants and energy damage match-ups and nothing else. He can take Zola, Onslaught and Photon if you got no better counter in BGs (won those fights with him) and I suppose he’ll shine in AW as well. With double immunity, non-contact parry and evade counter he’s still fine as he is, although I wouldn’t mind a slight buff. Not every champ is big yellow numbers or massive DoT. He doesn’t shine in RoL because it isn’t his matchup. Hood doesn’t shine there as well and he’s a great champ nonetheless.

@Buttehrs Why are you responding so quickly all the damn time 🤣🤣💀 get off the app for once my son… jheeze. I respond hours or a day later and you’re somehow always online to see my response instantly. Shi so sad. You’re just gonna comment under all my threads and respond to everything that is said, every time! Now I 100% understand why ppl get tired of seeing you.

You mean you get tired of seeing me. Can't say I've ever seen that comment literally anywhere else in 10 years. Means I'm doing something right in keeping the trolls in check. The good news is, if I derail the thread enough to close it down, no one will have to read your trolling drivel for one day. But you'll be back, just like a fungus between the toes. And last but not least, is that really all you got for a comeback? Even a simple "nu-uh you" or "your mom" would make for a better one. Grow up and get new material. Its embarrassing.

@ItsClobberinTime

Lmao i’m sorry… but bro… 1 minute 25 for 1 fight out of the entire ROL path is still bad.. even for a R1. Try your rank 1 against the other fights and it will be a 5-6 minute fight.

His damage is terrible. I literally played him accurately. You get the armour ups, then you get the 10 energise. He’s got some of the worst damage in game. Super disappointing for me, but i’m glad you like him. I wish I did. He looks awesome. It’s so nasty to watch his bulky, XL giant metal bull looking a55 do around 1k-2k damage per hit. It’s lame,

I didn't say he isn't ass for the rest because he is, but I also explained to you that that's like using Sinister against a robot and saying Sinister is bad. You literally have a r4 sig 200 Patriot whose only use is nuking Photon, you should know this better than anyone else lol. Solvarch is good for mutants and champs with energy damage on basic attacks, there's only one of these in RoL, no Onslaught Jean Cassandra Capt. Britain Sinister Dust Apoc Zola Maw Shuri or any of his target matchups of course he's going to suck.

You did not play him effectively, why did mine take 1:25 at r1 while yours took 1:35 at r3? I didn't have boosts or synergies or suicides, makes absolutely zero sense should've been a 50 sec fight for you at r3 you're doing something wrong. Watch Nick136 video on how to use him cause in a lot of matchups you can just skip the sp1 and start with sp2 instead.

@ItsClobberinTime I know what matchups he’s meant for bro… but there’s no way a 7* R3 should be taking 2 minutes for ROL fights. He’s not even fast for energy damage fights!! took 1 minute 37 seconds on storm in ROL. He sucks bro. Truly disappointing. Without fighting an energy damage mutant… he has one of the worst damage outputs in MCOC. That’s on 4.

You're playing him wrong cause that doesn't make sense, how does it take you longer than me when I have a r1 and you have a r3?

Like I said, you're not playing him efficiently. The damage output isn't great but he spama so many specials back to back it adds up. If you use him for non mutant/energy basic attack matchups yes he's ass but if you use him for those specifically he's decent.

The only thing that needs to be buffed is the energy damage regen, it should be about 75%-80% not 50% cause at 50% he still gets nuked by Galan and BRB and can't stay aggressive enough against Onslaught and other mutants, but everything else is fine when you use him where you're supposed to use him.

Here’s a summary of how my main and two alts did in the event:



Both alts used nothing but free energy and energy refills from gameplay (i.e. no units). My main used about 6000 units for energy refills on top of free energy, and played about 1000 rounds total across three weeks.

I pushed somewhat harder in the last week, thinking that maybe some players would be doing the same and I didn’t want to drop out of top 200 after making it in the first two weeks, and that was apparently the case as 30k more points equated to identical rank in week 3.

Interestingly, my alts both landed in 2-5% in two weeks and 6-10% in one week, but landed in 2-5% overall. My guess is that on or above ranking 1% players were pushing to maintain rank, but below that players were not consistent in their efforts and did not place consistently in all three weeks, so slipping in one week did not cost rank.

I’m kinda curious to know what percentage of players just did the 10k minimum and stopped. Unfortunately, I did not try to do that with an alt to peg the score. I was busy traveling for a big chunk of the three weeks and didn’t have the time.

Overall, I’d say that as a replacement for a side quest, this was pretty good. It was somewhat engaging but simple, and it did not take a lot of effort to max out the milestones - which is essentially getting side quest level rewards. I could see this coming back a couple times a year, with different scoring mechanics or strategies (emulating poker is not something this has to do: clearly there are relatively easy ways to modify it to make it different or add additional strategy components to it).

As to the competitive side of it, I would say it is in many ways more enjoyable to grind than arena, and getting a 7* champ (even if it is not a top tier one) for the amount of effort put into it was reasonable compared to what it would likely have been in the arena if a 7* ranked reward existed. Of course, how much effort went into ranked scoring would have been a lot higher if it was a top chase champ, and it is tricky to extrapolate how high it would have gone.

@World Eater not even close. Solvarch is BAD. Mine is 7* R3 and can’t finish any ROL fight in under 2 minutes but storm.

Because nobody in ROL has energy damage on basic attacks, you're basically using him in the matchups where he doesn't work. It's like using Sinister against a robot or someone with degen resistance and then sayin Sinister is BAD lol.

When you use him against a mutant, or someone with energy damage on basic attacks he's is VERY good, I did that Storm in 1:15 at r1. He can do the same to Onslaught, Jean, Capt. Britain, Sinister, Cassandra, Dust, Apoc + anyone with energy damage on basics like Zola Maw and Shuri. Bullseye and Spider Woman definitely a big no because he has no way to keep his damage up, but for everything else I mentioned he will be great as long as you know how to use him.

Yep. He’s sneaky-effective against Zola
