New Side Quest Best Counters

Friendly001

I wasn’t planning on doing this but they went and put T7B in it…
Anyways I have been having a lot of success with Deathless She Hulk in the Mystic one specifically.

Hasn’t been a single fight over 2 minutes so far.

I used Titania for almost all fights, Silk for destroyer, Cage for Kindred and Doom just to not disappoint you otherwise would have used Titania there as well. Photon and DSH for eating popcorn and cheering.


For techies, mostly used Gamora, Scream for armour up guys and Serpie for Fantman. Medusa and DT for eating popcorn and cheering.


Very fun events, Kabam did well this time.

I'm not that much of a coder, so I don't know if it's the best side quest counter, but here's one:

from datetime import datetime

class SideQuest:
def __init__(self, name, start_date, end_date):
self.name = name
self.start_date = datetime.strptime(start_date, "%Y-%m-%d")
self.end_date = datetime.strptime(end_date, "%Y-%m-%d")

def is_active(self, current_date=None):
if current_date is None:
current_date = datetime.today()
return self.start_date <= current_date <= self.end_date

# Sample list of side quests
side_quests = [
SideQuest("SQ: Mutant Mayhem", "2025-04-01", "2025-04-30"),
SideQuest("SQ: Mystic Trials", "2025-03-15", "2025-04-10"),
SideQuest("SQ: Cosmic Conflict", "2025-05-01", "2025-05-31"),
]

def count_active_side_quests(quests, current_date=None):
return sum(1 for quest in quests if quest.is_active(current_date))

# Count active side quests
active_count = count_active_side_quests(side_quests)
print(f"Active Side Quests: {active_count}")

Why Mystic Quest with Science gem again. Mystic was covered last time...

Is yours R3? Are you going for sp3? All of mine last 2:04 seconds

So I've only done the Tech one so far. Had a bunch of fun with Serpent in this one. The only fights I ran into issues was Shocker because of the autoblock after he gains charges and the unblockables and Shuri because she was up to her high level shocks by the time the timers flipped so one mistake and you're toast. All the other fights, while slow, were fun and pretty straightforward. I didn't do the previous Showcase because the rewards weren't that good for the headache they were, but I'll be tackling the Mystic path sometime this week.

For tech quest knull is your best friend. Even at r1. Just stack up corruption chargee (sp2 and mLm) until final woundee then throw a sp1 and sp3 to activate corruption, and he'll just destroy things in 2-3 full combos

Dthanos is another good one for all annoying techs like redksull and fam. Run dkg with him for guardian and peni.

Vanitelia

Yeah, DT was his usually destructive self. Angela was also great. She hits really hard to begin with so she makes it feel like an incursion run. Okoye was also fun to use.

For science, DSH was nice. One sp3 and her damage starts scaling nicely. Had longer fights with Silk/Photon/Nefaria. Mystic quest was a lot slower than the Tech one for sure.

Medusa walks through the entire tech map, if you have her.

She completely shut down Warlock and Sentinel, made them a complete joke.

For anyone that might be on the fence, I avoided this content the first time it came around but found it to be a lot of fun. The lack of nodes, a steady pace and eventually big numbers, it wasn't particularly challenging but it wasn't boring either. Actually might even hit it again just for the laugh.

Dust cooks mantis. Whatever you do DONT take sinister to chip down mantis bc of her cleanse

TotemCorruption

Yeah the T7B makes it necessary to do these otherwise I would pass too.
But there really are no nodes other than the damage clock, so anyone should work as long as you have a basic understanding of MCOC champs.

Mine is R3, no sp3 just some lucky crits.

fun fact, her Tranquilize nerfs his ability to apply bleeds ON HIMSELF. odd interaction.
also, Fury, who’ll take 7 away to apply the passive.

My team for mystic path: Silk, Titania, Hulk, Photon and Count Nefaria.

Tech path: Gamora, Medusa, Angela, Masacre and Panther Jabari.

How did you counter the Peni Parker? I'm running medusa serpent and knull and I have no idea how to bypass her auto block power drain damage.

Science: Piggy & D. Shulk
Tech: Serpent & D. Thanos

This Showcase is easier than previous ones. I did all three modes itemless last time enchantress took 3 revives
My MVP was
Science - photon, silk, Luke cage
Tech - D Thanos, medusa

Likely Scream’s undermine buff.

Use a power drain immune champ like dkg

Hit into her block until the shield goes away (number goes from 100 to 0). You don’t want to intercept her, that will power burn you. Wait till she dashes back and holds block, then you can run in and start pounding on her without taking burn damage.

Stronger champs and those with class advantage will take the shield down in fewer hits, but any champ can counter Peni in this quest.

Play normally while shield is down (icon turns from red to grey), then repeat.

Yup, this is good advice. Basically how you would normally fight Peni with any non-undermine champ.
Even with Scream it's a long fight because her undermine is hard to keep up so you just have to break down the shield as HerbalTaxman explained and get your damage in, and then rinse and repeat.

Just disable her shield by hitting her blocks and play as usual.

Really enjoyed this and I can't say that about recent content.

No stupidity, just kill away and try not to die before the fun starts.

R4 silk and r2 DSH put in most of the work but I'm trying to figure out why people like cage so dragged a r1 along for the ride. Brought r3 spam and didn't use him once.

Mystics side, no resources used and nothing silly about the path.

Was a bit concerned about the tech side, only ranked champ was r4 thanos, r1 knull, r1 gamora, r1 DKG and someone else i can't even remember.

DkG and thanos for most of them, honourable mention to knull (mostly used for armor jerk champs that do jerk things with armor) and in the end i lost everyone to Fam except for thanos who did the needful.

No resources on this side either.

Great quest for a spud like me.

For Peni, after a while, knull removes the shield in one hit. No idea why haha

more than likely the damage bonus as time goes on, couples with the stupid amount of armor breaks you may have at that point?

Serpent ignores a lot of the power burn damage, and Vox is immune, AND has that undermine on sp1, if anyone is still stuck.
