Challenging fight?

TimeGenesis

Been wondering to ask this for a while now...

For you what makes a challenging fight in MCoC? Is it in-game yet? or you are yet to be challenged?

For instance,
Is it the high health pool? Strength in numbers? Super masochism? Acid Wash emma? or combinations of nodes?

TimeGenesis

For me personally, I find high health pools boring as you will be doing d same attack patterns over and over and over...

My ideal challenge will be sorta like 6.4 GM or 7.2 Gwenmaster, 7.3 Kang where you have to know the different phases. It was high health pool but it was fun as there are different interactions throughout the fight..

Another fun challenging content was Summer of Pain, although I would prefer some sort of itemless challenge / item limit kinda thing to make it more interesting.

Being a TB and pretty much have an over developed roster I can safely say, can counter most nodes so a fun interaction is a big thing for me.

For me, it's something that you don't necessary have to throw revives at it to complete. GM, Gwenmaster, Kang are good examples. Even though a good potion of summoners used revives, it's possible to solo. Content like Abyss or variant 1, when it came out, there are many fights where to get through the trick is "just use a revive and go through." With the champs we have now, it's possible to build a team that can solo a significant potion of fights, but when the contents came out, that was not the case. A good node combination that makes you feel like you accomplished something and not an item slug fest, makes a good challenge. Also, less RNG nodes and more player control. Like if you do or don't do this thing the node won't trigger, not 50% chance for X to happen. More skill based fights and less RNG. We all know we have enough RNG to deal with already in this game

There’s always one path in variants that wrecks me and my units. The thorns path for the villain variant was a struggle even with a rank 2 magneto and the block penetration path in 3.2 of the Deadpool variant. I couldn’t dex the mystic pooloid even though he has the same animations as doctor strange the timing just wasn’t hitting for me and then I got one punched by Karnak when I wasn’t even blocking then the rest of the path it was do 5 hits then have a failed dex and get clipped and die or try to dex a special and my guy blocks and dies. Big unit sinks for me.

for me it is the Act 4 fights when you are trying to 100% complete it with autoplay its total torture

Any fight that cn be done without using items if played well, doesn't rely much on defender AI, but is punishing if u don't play it the right way

I will probably find harder fights later but I really do not like Evade and Unstoppable... This is why I am going to be bring Falcon every where with me now. Hopefully Mordo and Ultron will not be a massive pain anymore... Same thing with High Health Juggies who take too long to beat

Anything attached to the collector is just a unit sink. The rest I would agree though and would add the grandmaster.

I actually enjoyed collector believe it or not. First fight was problematic then others were ok

Personally I don’t find health pools to be a problem because I have the patience to get through them. What annoys me are fights that require a specific counter otherwise you will be takeing a lot of damage(like magik for example)

For mordo, just dont parry him. Or use champs that can place fatigue / power lock him.

Unstoppable - use champs that can give slow debuffs

Evade - True strike champs / apoc / iceman / etc .

V8 was easily the worst content they’ve made in a long time. Yet they claim it’s not for end game. Want difficult , look there. Restrictive with power gain and very high attack values. Kabam really screwed up v8.

Funny how I spend more units and revives on these "skill-based" fights like GM and Kang than on fights like 6.3 Cap IW or any act 7 boss fight other than Kang and GM.

Well GM is the last boss of an act, so he should technically be more difficult. And CapIW is not hard, just requires a very specific counter due to node combination. The better counter you have, the less revive you use. But in all, the main thing is those fights are not counter specific and interactive and fun, not necessarily there to drain units.

The Gauntlet and SoP weeks 1-9 were very fun (and posed a good challenge) for me. Tag specific challenges were awesome! Also love most boss fights in Act 7.

Hoping to see a return of these events this year!!
