Let's play a game

Let's say you've been picked for a competition to see who is the best MCOC player out there. Here are the rules:

Here's what you know about the opponent:

-They have a healthpool somewhere between 200k and 400k
-They can be anyone who has ever been in the game (Gwenperion, Grandmaster, Nameless Thanos)
-They can have any nodes, including OP combos (Icarus + Pilfered)

You can pick anyone from the current champ pool (i.e. Punisher and Weapon X are available but Sigil Witch is not). You get that champ as a 5/65, with sig 1, and no suicides. Remember, the opponent could be anyone. They might be bleed or poison, they might have a miss or evade counter, they might be a nullifier. Good luck! I look forward to seeing who everyone would choose to bring to a blind battle.

I'll go first. I would pick Warlock. He doesn't rely on buffs or debuffs too much, he works for a ton of hard nodes, and he's a double immune

I'd honestly pick Dr Voodoo.
Power control, a option for Buffed up AND Diss Track (unless opponent is poison immune) , he can do 7+ hit combos if enemy is under uneven combo. Regen at start to help avoid some damage (like Iceman, plus Voodoo can hold block to gain equal energy resist to Havok).
He's a jack of all trades which should be able to handle most things. He also has access to powergain buffs via sp3.

any particular reason for choosing him? i saw his kit, and he looks good, but nothing too exciting from my first glance at it

here’s a little mini post length write up I did in my free time
then I got jailed and couldn’t post it
Hey all! Mr. Negative has really intrigued me on paper so I decided to do a full write up on him. Enjoy! All stats are based off of a rank 3 5 star. Please also note at the time of writing this no gameplay for him has been released. Not a tradition write up per se, just a jumbled mash of my thoughts in a semi-comprehensional way

Things to note: Light Energy is gained by:

Either champ performs a well-timed block (+2)
Dashing back removing all buffs on Mr. Negative (+1 per buff removed)

Light Energy lasts indefinitely until it reaches 10 or more stacks, at which all stacks expire over 6 seconds.

Cap of 20 stacks

Dark Energy is gained by:
Heavy evading (with at least one light energy, charging a heavy gives a 100% chance to evade basic attacks, also counters with a hit dealing a burst of 1139 physical damage and giving the opponent power equal to that of a medium attack)

Throwing a special 1

Getting knocked down (wouldn’t exactly recommend)

Dark Energy lasts indefinitely until it reaches 10 stacks, then all stacks expire over 16 seconds. Max 20.

Each time you gain Dark Energy, inflict a delirium debuff lasting .8 seconds per Light Energy converted. While the opponent has this buff their dash and dodge controls are reveresed and defensive combat power rate is reduced by 60%.

Can’t gain Dark Energy while inflicted with Disorient.

So the rotation I’ve come up with is get 8 light energy, throw a special 1 to get 8 dark energy, then build up 8-9 light energy, heavy evade, and special 2 for big boy damage.

If you get 8 light energy, then throw your special 1, you’ve got 8 dark energy stored that won’t expire, a 20 second exhaustion debuff, a delirium debuff lasting for 6.4 seconds, and a bulwark passive increasing your block proficiency by a whopping 5,333.36.

Then, build up 8-9 more light energy, get to a special 2, heavy and do the evade to get 8 more dark energy giving you 16. Parry and throw the special 2.

Don’t know how fast these dark energy passives expire so I’ll say it’s pretty fast (and I don’t think they pause during specials)

For starters you’ll get both petrifies (160% regen and power rate reduction for twenty seconds)

I’m going assume worst case as stated above that they quickly expire. By now we’ll say we’ve got 10 left. Hit 3 inflicts degen number one, and hit four inflicts an additional 10 (again, could be higher depending on how fast they expire)

That’s 11 degens over ten seconds doing 19,899 direct damage. Saying we have 14 left gives us 27,135 direct damage.

And that’s not mentioning the small bits of extra damage and healing while degenerating from the sig, degen potency reduction, and immunity to Nullify, Stagger, and Fate Seal.

Speaking of, let’s talk about the sig.

The degeneration healing is nice, coupled with his ability to reduce degeneration potency by 40% for each unique debuff on the opponent. The Dark Energy damage, while not much, will still do something as you’ll have dark energy while they have a nondamaging debuff (special 1 exhaustion) dealing (at max sig) 670 physical damage. Also with the above rotation you’ll get 1,391.36 energy resistance for a decent amount of time as well at max sig since you’ll have 8 light energy a decent amount of the time.

With his immunities dealing extra burst damage, he’s going to be fun against mystics (and I’d assume have some fun interactions with buffet)

All in all, he definitely seems a fun champ with lots of damage potential and some really nice utility. I will also admit he does seem to have a fairly high skill cap with his heavy evade mechanic, but one worth the master.

He has potential @TheBair123

The Ghost of Christmas past won't help in this situation.

I think I would pick Luke Cage. I'm really comfortable playing him, the indestructible from the sig ability could come in clutch, he isn't hard countered by any champ (#metals get wrecked by mags, Mystics by torch, etc), his exhaustion could work for nodes like diss track. Now if it's buffed up or things like do you bleed he is screwed ut overall I think he would be my best bet.

Forget my Last Pick

Magneto I Choose You

Light7

I think aegon with 999combo can do any fight

Yodabolt21

Mags and pray they are #metal.

I had pick Claire. Has triple immunities, reliable damage, doesn't need sig, has regen although Human torch will melt her.
