Best Of

Hey everyone,
On Jan 2, I started a new account with the singular goal of getting to valient as quickly as possible except that I could not open any crystals. I had done this challenge once before and knew it was possible but it had been a half year since then. Here is that post.

I wanted to start this challenge after banquet was over and do it through the beginning of the year since that tends to be a slower time for mcoc and less to do on my main account.

Almost right away, I got a bunch of free 3* champs from the naughty and nice mail from Christmas. I thought I had waited and would not get any of that but I guess not.


The next day when I got past Thanos and got proven, I got a naughty and nice calendar with a 4* selector on day 14. I was impatient for 4* champs so I did rol with this roster. All 3* except 2* leader for wolverine.


Now I had my first 4*s and Rhino had just gotten buffed. He became the main champ of the account and got my first ascension with Angela from the naughty and nice selector getting my second.
I then got my first 5 star from the new account calendar on Jan 22 and finished act 6.


A week late on Jan 28 I got 7* rhino from the photogenic foes event, solidifying him as my main champ on this account. 3 of my profile champs were rhino.


I slowed down on story and focused on grinding units from the lower acts if I need them and I am glad I did since I was able to buy an extra key for the box with the Valentines event getting me mr fantastic and star lord, both my worst picks at the time.
Later on Feb 27, I was really glad since everyone got free sentry from Dave's promo code. With the power sting synergy with Mr fantastic and sentry, Rhino became even better allowing me to get through act 7 and start on act 8. I also got Phoenix from the whole Valentine key CCP promo code fiasco.



Things slowed down even more since I didn't know how to get PARAGON. I needed 3 6* champs and couldn't get them so I slowly grinded units and story until I got 8.3.6 Cerastes down on March 13. That was the worst fight in this whole challenge since no crystals means no relics.

And then today, kabam sent out a free 6* daredevil and 6* kingpin. I took them both to rank 4 which got me paragon. Alliance coliseum rank rewards had just come out and I claimed then to get enough t4 alpha to get 2 of my 7* to rank 3 getting valient!


So the challenge is over. It's been a fun and challenging journey. Similar to the first time doing this challenge, it is only made possible by events and free champs that kabam gives out. Thank you kabam making it possible but also easier as time goes on. To everyone that is not valent regardless of your skill level, kabam keeps making it easier to progress and if I can do this, you can get valient too.

Here is the post I had been making of my progress and asking if anyone wanted to do it with me. There is some videos of some boss fights if you're interested.
