**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event
**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

November buffs announced !! Yeah baby

    All nebula needs is a higher block rating. I love her as she is except she needs to be able to block more damage. Build up 20 charges- parry-L2 and watch the health just drain away.
    I’m afraid they are going to break her.

    I think I'll save my excitement till they are actually updated.

    With all the dumpster fire characters, you’d think nebula would not be in line for immediate attention.

    In regards to Karnak, this is a perfect example of a champion who has nowhere to go but up and even in this instance the worst buff they could give him is still somehow a better buff. Then again who knows?

    There's only TWO things that Kabam needs to do to make Nebula great:

    1- Cut the time needed by which she gains charges by at least half.

    2- Give her more base Block Proficiency AND a give her a small amount of extra Block Prof and Energy Resistance per charge. Make it so at max charges she has Guardian-like BP and ER. Maybe make her shock immune too when she gets max charges. This will give you yet and extra incentive and utility for you to want to ramp her up to max charges.

    Those two things right there and presto! She'll be usable again. Add that your standard minor number tweak of moderate buffs and we'll have a decent champ.

    Now, if you really want an extra ability utility, I'd say you can make her able to block unblockables while at max charges. AFAIK, there is just one other champ that has this ability ( Mr. Sinister) so I do t see why they can't give it to at least one more champ. It they dont want too generous on this idea they can make it so once she has max charges, she'll lose two charges per unblockable hit she blocks. That way, she'd be able to eat a full unblockable 5 hit combo but at the expense of losing half her charges. She'd be able only to block unblockable specials that have ten hit or less. You can even tie this ability to her sig, by making it a 20% (min sig) to 100% ( max sig) chance to block unblockable hits and lose two charges per hit when at max charges.

    I hope Kabam is listening/reading to this thread. Do what I write here and I can guarantee that people will be happy with a Nebula buff and will use her in a ton of content.

    Yeah 1 and 2 are really just the minimum needed to make her a top tier champ. She already can shrug off shock debuffs and convert them into shock charges but only 3 times. They need to remove that limit and she will be effectively shock immune. The unblockable counter is interesting. Personally, I am hoping for a second way to gain charges like by hitting the opponent and maybe be able to manually activate her regen with an sp3 since it basically has no real value now. It won't take much to make her the deadliest woman in the galaxy.

    I'm still waiting for the iron patriot buff, imo he's the worst champion in the game; plus I have him has a 6*.

    I'm hyped for Nebula. The leaked image on reddit said she was getting a moderate buff which would be perfect.
    Her biggest flaw was her impractical playstyle so a few new abilities could fix that. Hopefully her buff changes her playstyle so she is easier to use while building on her already great damage and utility. Kabam has a good track record with moderate buffs so I'm actually pretty optimistic about this one.

    I love nebs. Higher bp would be great for starters
    Always nice to find another Nebula fan. Hopefully more people like her after this buff. Higher BP would be helpful but that's not the only problem. Believe it or not, Nebula has higher block proficiency that iHulk, venom and venompool. You don't notice it because those characters don't require you to spend most of the fight blocking. Nebula doesn't need a lot of changes, just the right ones. A better and faster way to gain charges would make her so much more useable.
    To be fair Venompool, Venom and iHulk have a lot of physical resistance. Just like Ibom and Moleman have negative physical resistance but have a way to build it up and become absolute tanks. Nebula doesn't have the same thing which makes her feel more flaky.

    I hope they don't give her reduced shock duration that doesn't go down to -100% like Ultron and Thor Rags. That is the worst kind of pseudo-immunity. Reduced potency that goes all the way to -100% is always better

    They don't even have to do that. She already has a shock shrug off mechanic. Just remove the 3 time limit and she is triple immune.

    What do you mean? Shes a perfect candidate for moderate buff
    Over characters like iron fist, groot etc? Nebula is at least usable, there are several characters that are not that deserve immediate attention.

    I don't get excited anymore for buffs, only 2 per month, which gonna be one mediocre buff at best, the other will be nerf

    If you can think of a way to nerf Karnak, I'll eat dirt.
    Take away the true strike, and his special 3 DAAR reduction is reduced too 20%

    Meh. He'd still be as useful as he is now. Lol. Don't get me wrong. I was the only person advocating that his True Strike has a use on here. I'm simply being realistic. XD
