1. SP1: If it is fast like Gulk or across the entire screen it is BS. We need to be able to get out of range, since dex won't work and probably half the time he's gonna be unblockable too.
2. The crowd excitement. Does this mean he will get unstoppable+unblockable if you hit his block 4 times? If you are baiting, does he chain unblockable+unstoppable (2 evades = 4 charges) Do the charges from evade dissipate over time like the 20s on a blocked hit charge?
As for Thorns: Avoidable, so no gamebreaker imo. Just use llll while he has rock shield, never take damage.
And I still think that Korg being much more powerful than Thor or Hulk Ragnarok is absolutely ridiculous...but that's another issue. I mean, more powerful than old Thor, fine, old champs become obsolete, but they are from the same frigging movie!
Or will we get Thor IW later, with Stormbreaker, who can use his Rocket eye to auto-evade unevadable specials, ignore the opponent's True Strike because the electricity surging through him acts as a barrier, does shock damage on all light hits with Stormbreaker...
You can't have it both ways people. The community asks for God tier champs and when one comes out that isn't they complain. When one comes out that is, they complain. Will Korg be a tough fight in EQ all node up? Yes. Will Korg as a 5* be a tough fight in AW? Eh.... EQ does not truly represent a champ once released to the public(ie Red Skull).
Another thing I've read is that Korg doesn't "deserve" to be god tier. Why? Because of how he was represented in a movie? If we go by that thinking then many champs would need to be changed right? Or, only Thanos could beat Hulk. Only Thor could beat Loki. And basically no one could beat Hella. Just saying......
DV and Elektra may not be too great considering he has a pretty high chance to shrug off debuffs when Rock Shield is active. Maybe it's just me. I would forget a lot.
Good point about Elektra. Voodoo’s ability reduction allows him to stack spirit poison against enemies that shrug off debuffs the same way using his sp1 on odd combos allows him to stack spirit poison when fighting enemies that have masochism.
• Rock anatomy provides Korg immunity to Bleed, Shock and additional Critical Resistance but decreases his Energy Resistance by 20%.
Korg is simultaneously shock-immune but very vulnerable to 'energy'.
Does this shock-immunity apply just to Shock debuffs, or will it also give immunity to the 'rebound' damage from our other (massively outclassed) Thorns champion, Electro?
I find it very "strange" that most of the champs that have some kind of "advantage" over Korg are champs that you refuse to release as 5* / 6* even tho they are "overrated" among the new champs.
what point you are trying to make? to show us the 4* are still relevant? 4* has no place in AW attack.
It also doesn't make sense (to me) that Korg is immune to shock but take more damage from energy hit.

I’ll break it down for you. Each different source of damage has a type and a category. (Not officially, just for me to help explain it).
It’s basically because while shock does energy damage, it isn’t the only thing that does. Korgs abilities are basically, all energy damage does more damage on him, except shock because he’s immune. Bleed is direct damage, but just because someone is Immune to bleed doesn’t mean direct damage cannot do harm to them.
For example. Bleed/poison is direct damage. A hit from Luke cage is physical damage. A hit from magneto is energy damage. Shock/incinerate is energy damage.
The type is what the damage is; poison, bleed, physical hit, energy hit etc
The category is what the type of damage is; energy, direct, physical.
So Korg, while immune to (the type of damage) shock, he is not immune to (the category) energy damage. And furthermore, not only is he not Immune to energy damage, he is even more susceptible to it. As an example, incinerate does energy damage, but since Korg has a lower energy resistance, he takes more damage.
So since Korg is immune to shock which is energy damage, but more susceptible to energy damage. This is the same as if Collosus, who is immune to bleed, were to be more susceptible to direct damage. As an example, taskmaster when he exploits a weakness deals direct damage. So in my hypothetical situation where Collosus is susceptible to direct damage. He would take more damage from an exploit weakness. He isn’t immune to direct damage, but he is immune to bleed.
Champion who is immune to X, more susceptible to Y.
Where X is the type of damage, Shock or Bleed. And Y is the category, Energy or Direct.
Special 1: Hey, take it easy man! - Oh man, is that what this thing does? I thought it was just going to like, shoot some net or something. I oughta be careful with this thing.
• Opponents cannot Evade this attack.
• This attack is Unblockable if Crowd Excitement is greater than 1.
By opponents cannot evade this attack, do you mean evade will have a 100% chance not to trigger at all, or evade will trigger but not work? Because i don't want evade to drop my block while trying to dodge and cause me to get hit.
Could you please clarify @Kabam Vydious
you can dex it but not evade, dex and evade are to different mechanics
I just completely got wrecked by a 4 star Korg.....in War....
Something about myself...i might not b skilled player...but...i am elders bane....generally dont give a single kill in war including soloing mini boss on lane 7, regen mini & lane 6 in section 1...
Last war i soloed 5/65 Domino sig 90 on Lane 7 buffet node without much issue...so u can gauge i m at least average skilled....
My main attack team i bought in was R4 GR, R5 Stark & R4 Gp.....
So basically this guy goes unblockable unstoppable on dexterities, like seriously...
Sir, dexterity is the basic necessity of game to bait, evade and all.....
I tried to bait his sp2, he went all unblockable, unstoppable nd cornered me...like seriously, how do u counter that...
While u say that energy damage chaps work, energy damage champs still need to dex...nd if he was fully unblockable least u cud hv done was give him an sp 1 that cud be fully evaded......
I had to use **** load of items & 4 kills after i got through...
4 star Korg not even an 5 star.....
Is this the only reason for defenders lately being so ****? coz we spend and use items.....
An opponent should at least have an counter...
IMIW is a good defender...Korg is really really a money grabber...
U can check my history...i hv never ever complained for game being too difficult....but this was just unaccpetable...
An war cant be decided by just the fact that some one got lucky pulled a 5 star Korg & they basically win everything coz opponent gonna give **** load of kill.....nd i m not even in high tier...Just tier 4....
I know that even if u guys realise this was a mistake even than u cant nerf him because ppl spent money to get him...
But guys this kinda things lately r really really slowly killing the game.....Just a heads up...
If ppl like me who r below average will struggle so hard on champs like this then slowly the quits will come coz wen u cant get through coz of BS.....than quits seem the only option......

I know that...
What I'm asking is does korg's sp1 trigger the evade but cause it to fail(like true strike does), or does it reduce the chance for evade to trigger completely, as in if I'm holding block when korg activates sp1, i will remain blocking throughout it
imo korg has taken it too far with all his abilities as a defender, thorns, unblockable unstopable, un evadable sp1, the rock shields reduction to damage, then only being able to use light attacks for fear of setting off the thorns and unblockable\ unstoppable. this combination of attributes is too much, the most difficult champions to fight should be capped at the iron man infinity war/ domino, dormamu, medusa level. korg surpasses that imo and hes not even a top villain or hero, hes a well liked supporting charector at best. these difficult to fight opponents should be reserved for real bad ass vilains like mr sinister or apocalypse. villains that can take down a whole team of xmen or avengers, not a supporting charector that would get wrecked in a fight with most of marvels meh tier power heroes. or save this difficulty of a fight for heroes that are way op power like sentry hyperion, iron man captain marvel etc.... thats what i think let mw know if you agree
Did they finally do it? Is Cyclops finally going to be a viable counter to someone?
Cyclops (Blue) gains extra power at low levels and when awakened, his specials become unblockable with a good combo. His L1 is energy damage (strong vs. Korg) and won't take thorns damage.
Crowd Excitement
• The crowd dislikes cowards cheering for Korg when opponents Evade or Dexterity his Basic Attacks, increasing Crowd Excitement by 2 for 20 seconds.
This one made me cringe twice.
1) The lack of a comma makes it seem like the crowd dislikes the people cheering for Korg and considers them all cowards.
2) Dexterity is a noun. It is not a verb. You can possess dexterity. You can't dexterity. This is a pet peeve I didn't know I had until I started reading this forum.

You can't dexterity but you can Dexterity. Notice the capital D.
He seems to be a cool champion and all.... but he will be way to easy to counter and also "Magneto = category weakness".... what the hell? Is this a joke.. I mean ye magneto can to bleeds... but he sucks... he can't be anyones weakness so get that outta here ( this is out of place but kabam you should actually start buffing characters like magneto e.t.c, especially carnage... like come on lads, we need buffs for these champs )
korg is gonna be GODLIKE he is amazing in the movie unstoppable in the game. great defender and attacker i'll be happy when he's on my team not the opponents during season 3.(P.S.this is the first time i every said a comment).

Good luck fighting a duped 6 star Korg on something like a buffet node with a 4 star Black Widow lol. Another money grabbing defense champion, amazing

Does this shock-immunity apply just to Shock debuffs, or will it also give immunity to the 'rebound' damage from our other (massively outclassed) Thorns champion, Electro?
How about Electro's special attacks? Or Storm's?
P.S. Let's improve Electro: . (https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/67272/lets-supercharge-electro)
Can’t used dex or he will keep being unblockable and unstopable. Fine.
I think we would deal with this 2 things
But unblockable and would not evade sp1 with 1 exticement ? That’s too much.
At least make it able to evade.
what point you are trying to make? to show us the 4* are still relevant? 4* has no place in AW attack.

Always best to watch for the D
R5 duped Korg in tier 2 wars.
Kabam employees....
Please can you guys show us how to beat him as we all lack skill.
I don’t care what masteries you use or what champs...just do it in one go and I’d be happy with that.
If you guys can achieve this then I WILL complete labyrinth of legends before next month (4 paths left to go).
