Testing on winter soldier with no buffs.

one of the key points i want to make about the playstyle is the importance of mystic dispersion and knowing how much power you gain from buffs ending.

The main loop i have found is to use the MD from limbo ending after a special attack to push you over another bar of power, to then chain another limbo. let me try break it down.

Any other input is appreciated.

So to start of, get you opponent over a bar, to bait sp so they have less power.

Then get yourself over a bar to trigger limbo, to then heavy to decelerate limbo.

Get to 1 bar and a half ( Depending on your MD Ranks, this may be more or less ) and drop an sp1. since you place a fury buff on the opponent, this will get neutralised and and you will be just under 1 bar again.

Since after a special attack you accelerate buffs, this will end your limbo after you dropped an sp1, to then push you back over a bar of power with MD to trigger another limbo. Hevay punish as soon as to pause.

Loop this to stack degens.

Once ready, get to just under 2 bars of power and let your limbo end, to push yourself over 2 bars to activate another limbo and heavy to decelerate the limbo.

do a 3-5 hit combo to get more power for after you have dropped your sp2.

Drop sp2 while in limbo and watch them degens go crazy.

The reason for the 3-5 hit combo is so that you can get back to 1 bar quicker to pause 20+ degens to then loop the degen damage over and over.


Thats the loop that i have found most success with but let me know if im missing anything.

I know there's another thread on this, but this will be more of a warning.

To the Kabam team

Most players understand that new systems need to support the game financially, and the community has generally accepted early-access monetization in the past. But locking something as impactful as Ascension behind spending until 2027 risks sending the wrong message to the people who have supported this game for years. For many of us, Marvel Contest of Champions isn’t just another mobile game, it’s something we’ve invested time, effort, and community into over a decade now. When a system that directly affects champion strength and competitive modes feels out of reach for an entire year unless you spend real money, it can make loyal players feel like their dedication matters less than their wallets. Even if the intention is to strengthen the game in the long run, this approach with Ascension could unintentionally erode trust and goodwill in a community that has stuck with the game through every major change. A healthier balance between monetization and accessible progression would help ensure players feel included in the game's future rather than left behind.

Given this, should also consider the wider ripple effects that a long pay-first rollout of Ascension could create across the game. Because Ascension directly increases champion stats and prestige, it risks affecting the perceived fairness of competitive modes like Battlegrounds and Alliance War, where even small advantages matter. Over time this could also strain alliances, as recruitment and roster expectations may begin favoring players who have access to ascended champions and the newest champions, unintentionally pushing dedicated but non-spending players to the margins. Just as importantly, motivation can decline when a progression system feels unattainable for an entire year; players who believe they are permanently behind the curve may reduce engagement or stop pushing challenging content altogether. If this sentiment continues to spread across forums, YouTube discussions, and community spaces, it could shape a negative narrative that becomes difficult to reverse, regardless of future adjustments. On the design side, this could also complicate content balance, tuning content for ascended champions risks excluding others, while tuning it for non-ascended rosters diminishes the value of the system for those who paid for early access. Taken together, these pressures could lead to player fatigue, community division, and long-term trust issues that outweigh the short-term benefits of monetizing the system for an extended period.

Now, I think a healthier approach would be to introduce Ascension with monetized early access, but ensure that a clear and reasonably short path exists for the broader player base to begin earning the resources through gameplay within a few months rather than a full year. Kabam could still offer paid bundles, faster progression, and premium milestones for players who want to accelerate their access, while gradually introducing Ascension materials through difficult but achievable content such as endgame quests, Battlegrounds objectives, or special events. This would preserve monetization opportunities without creating the impression that competitive progression is locked behind spending for an extended period. Just as importantly, communicating a transparent roadmap, showing when and how Ascension resources will enter normal gameplay through Free to Play means, would help players feel included in the system rather than excluded from it. When players believe that dedication and skill will eventually earn them access, they are far more likely to remain engaged, supportive of the game’s direction, and willing to invest both time and money into its long-term success.
