Exactly what has happened to my top 60 alliance. Done and dusted 5 players have plans to quit next month and looking to dump their MCOC account to highest bidder.

Mini-tips on 8.4.6 & Glykhan

Hey folks -

Just beat Glykhan. First of all - kudos to the game team on that boss. THE most fun boss so far ... period. All skill, no annoying node shenanigans. Difficult, but very very enjoyable.

TL;DR - Use any team that gets you through the path. Anyone can beat Gly in Phase 1 and 2 - just forget about the punishments - more trouble then they are worth. Definitely use Jugg for Phase 3 - he uniquely crushes the rooted challenge. Fight normal lasts 1% and don't panic.

Team:
1) My team was: 7r2 StormX, 7r3 Medusa, 7r3 Sinister, 6r4 Apoc, 7r2 Silk (unduped). I swapped a 6r4 Jugg for Medusa for Glykhan. You can easily do this with 6r4s (maybe 6r3s with skill)
2) Sinster and Apoc were for synergies mostly. Apoc took Red Gaurdian to gain 4 genetic codes for horseman (easy fight). Sinister took Mr. Negative (not so easy but not terrible).
3) StormX for OG Gully - easy fight - just get to L2.
4) Medusa took CM - harder than expected.
5) Silk took Ebony May - falter was annoying. Silk died because I was stupid. Finished with StormX I think.
6) Medusa slayed Scorpion even with only 1/3 health remaining. Armor shatter shut down the evade.

I know there are lots of other counters. Just bring what you need to get through the path without too much trouble. You can take Gly with anyone really.

My tips for Glykhan:
1) Don't stress. I still had PTSD from fighting Bahamet to get to Valiant. I can't track "all the stuff" - Glykhan is very manageable.
2) I like MCOCNoob - but he's wrong on one count. Vorhees is correct. Don't worry about the Devine Punishments. I mean if you want to do 3x of the medium-light into block to get 3 Prowess do that. But if you are an average player DO NOT parry stun 3x to begin the fight. Your muscle memory and reactions to the AI will get them anyway.
3) Medium and specials are quite easy if you don't make it complicated. Mediums - just swipe back twice and punish to the rhythm (BACK BACK FORWARD). Works 60% of the time every time. (Actually it I did miss here and there but it was pretty easy).
4) Specials - For phases 1 and 2 - don't even worry about which special. Just keep swiping backwards (yeah I know - bad technique) until either 1) the jump back on S1 or 2) you dex the fireball - afterward just rush in and punish. Sometimes he'll recover too fast but it was very consistent.
5) Phase 1 and Phase 2 - are quite doable with any heavy hitter. Apoc and Storm were both surprisingly good. Sinister (meh). Silk (meh).
6) Phase 3 - here the one you need JUGGERNAUGHT was the GOAT. Much better than Storm or Silk.
7) Phase 4 - final 1%. He converted in the middle of a combo and I died. Rather than revive Jugg, I took in Apoc. Apoc destroyed him. Anyone could have - just fight normal! Bonus tip: for this phase - when rooted you can just block the first two hits of specials and only dodge the 3rd. Heavy's are the same cadence.

I think folks get too panicky on Phase 4. Don't try to dance around or whatever. Just slow it down and fight normal.

Other champs that I felt worked well for the path but didn't take for one reason or another:
1) Morbius - that L2 slays - I think he would devastate Glykhan
2) Professor X - same - his buildup was problematic
3) Kitty - I never got her to work as well as I wanted - but I'm also not very skilled with her kit

Re: Any way to revert to the old web forum site

Kabam fired someone who, on his last day, put some trash code into the next update so that everything went to hell the month after he left. Then he went to work on whichever company is the forum's service provider, and messed with them again by screwing up the site.

Re: Any way to revert to the old web forum site

Figured out how to revert to quote style comments. I think nested is cool but agree with the feedback that it can make it harder to follow threads sometimes. Useful tool to have access too, could maybe use it just in specific places in the future.

Re: Any way to revert to the old web forum site

We're working on it. Probably will end up being a hybrid of this and the older version because background updates mean the version we were using before is not going to be supported going forward. But we can make this look a lot better, just will take some figuring out

Re: Whenever you start to think "Hey, it can't get any worse."

Yeah the solution for not lumping in end game valiants with beginner valiants is the next progression title. Not doing this.

Rewards should come from completing content. Like if you decide to take on the challenge of epoch, you should get the same rewards as someone with an account twice as good as you. Because you both did the same content that was available, and you're both entitled to the rewards.

By messing with attack and health values to give people with bigger rosters more of a challenge but also more rewards, you're not even giving players the choice to do that harder content anymore. And they also can't get the better rewards.

Its just not ideal. Because now we're moving away from a system where the size of your roster wasn't a prerequisite to getting rewards, but your skill and what you could do with it was. Instead, we're going into a system where you'll always be behind the whales.

Its not a case of just growing your account to catch up, because when you grow your account the people ahead of you do as well.

Re: Thoughts about Champions for 2025

I think you’re right sadly

I don’t have a twitter account so I was just looking at it without seeing the replies. I checked it on Nitter and the replies pretty much confirm it’s an April Fools joke.

Oh, I can’t believe I fell for that. And the date was right there… 😭😭
