Announcing: The Champions of Valhalla Event

Summoners!

The Grandmaster has set up a new tournament in The Battlerealm, to find the most worthy among all of his Summoners! In doing so, he’s bringing a lot of new things to the contest that you’ll want to know about!

The Champions of Valhalla Event begins November 1st! This event is full of new and exciting events, and details, including a new Leaderboard, a new type of Solo Event and a whole new feature called Bounty Missions!

But first, let’s dig into the biggest part of the event, a new temporary currency called Valor!

Win Valor to prove your Worth!

Valor is a new limited-time currency you can earn throughout the Champions of Valhalla event. It can be earned in four main areas:
The “Gods of the Arena” Event Quest (The November Event Quest)
- November 4-Star Featured Hero Arenas
- New Vanquishing Blow Solo Events
- New Bounty Mission - Test of Valor

You can accumulate Valor, and then use it in the limited time Valor Store, where Summoners will be able to purchase items like 4-Star Hero Crystals, 5-Star Hero Crystal Shards, Tier 4 Class Catalyst Crystals, and Tier 2 Alpha Fragments! (See below for all the details!)

But Valor has an even more important role to play… Collect Valor to prove yourself as the true Champion of Valhalla!

Prove your Worth on the Valor Leaderboard!

In addition to being able to spend Valor in the Valor Store, it will also be cumulatively tracked on the Valor Leaderboard! Don’t worry, this is a cumulative total, so if tracks all of the Valor you have every received, so it doesn’t matter if you spend it!

Place yourself in the Top 10 Summoners on the Valor Leaderboard, and earn a 5-Star Thor (Ragnarok) after the event ends. The #1 Summoner will earn a bonus 5-Star Thor (Ragnarok)!

1st - 2x 5-Star Thor (Ragnarok)
2nd-10th - 1x 5-Star Thor (Ragnarok)
11 - 1,000 - 1x 4-Star Thor (Ragnarok)
1,001 - 10,000 - 1x 3-Star Thor (Ragnarok)
Top 10,000 (all) - "Champion of Valhalla" Rare Title

Prizes will be awarded within two weeks of the event ending - as we need to review winners.

Do note, Summoners, we will be keeping a close eye on Valor and the ways and means Summoners are earning it. Use of exploits or nefarious means to earn more Valor than is normally possible, or more than one Test of Valor every 6 hours will be looked on unfavorably by the Grandmaster. Possible actions include loss of Valor, removal from the Valor Leaderboard or worse. Let’s not go that route!

What is a Vanquishing Blow?

Vanquishing Blow Solo Events are a brand new event in the Contest that award points for finishing off your Opponent in a specific way! A Vanquishing Blow is the final type of damage dealt that reduces your opponent to zero health.

For example, there may be an event for “Medium Hit”, where the killing blow must be a Medium Attack. There could be an event for “Special 2”, where the killing blow must be from a Special 2 attack. There could also be one for “Using Bleed”, where the opponent KO must come from Bleed damage. This doesn’t mean hit them while they’re bleeding, it means that the bleed must be the one to do it.

Vanquishing Blow Solo Events will be available November 1st, 5PM PDT until December 5th, 4PM PST. As with all 24 hour Solo Events there is a short downtime between each event - so check your Solo Events list to check out all the details!

Bounty Missions and Tests of Valor!

Bounty Missions are brand new feature that you may see come back around the Contest in the future. It’s a pretty big feature, so we’re adding a new post about it right here!

Prepare yourself Summoners! The Champions of Valhalla event runs from November 1st until December 6th and you’ll need to be on the latest version of Marvel Contest of Champions to earn your Valor!

Sorry. Just a question.

It states in the description that you'll be penalized if you enter more than one bounty/Test of Valor every 6 hours. Will there be a timer to let us know when the 6 hours is up? Or will we be locked out being able to enter the bounty?

The reason I'm asking is because there might be back-to-back bounties that will overlap into the 6 hour window, despite bounties being open for 6 hours. Eg. Bounty A opens at 1200. I enter Bounty A and clear it at 1600. At 1800, when Bounty A closes, Bounty B opens and I clear it immediately (at 1800). This will result in me clearing 2 bounties within a 6 hour window, causing me to be penalized.

Thanks in advance.

It's not based on a 6 hour window of your start time, it's based on a 6 hour window of the start time of the Bounty Mission itself, so if you completed 2 before 1800, then that's a problem. If you completed one at 1600 (but it started at 1200) and another at 1800, that's totally fine.

Hopefully that makes sense? Let me know if anything is unclear.

I'm sorry but if i am seeing things here lol

2 GG in one section???

@Kabam Miike Can you guys just make a youtube video explaining how all this will work? Just show two players sitting at a desk. Then, "player A has to do this to open/donate/unlock", then player B goes "now I can go in here fight these guys and get this." Finally they go shopping together with what they received.

Happy to see that something new is coming. However is complicated to understand all of it, so I guess I'll wait until next week to see how this is going to be

Earn Valor in the game, spend Valor on items in the Valor Store. Everytime you earn Valor, you have a chance to start a Quest for your whole Alliance.

Does that mean if we spend Valor on items, we might not have enough to start a Quest? Do we need to decide where to spend Valor between items / quest?

Also if a quest is like 1000 Valor, only 1 member can start it? Or is it like a Treasury of all our Valor. So I can have 500 and a teammate has 500 so we can pool together to start the quest

Vanquishing Blows: Looks like a twist on Hero Use. Are the typical Hero Use milestones going to be available as well or just the Valor.

Regarding Milestones in arena and vanquishing blows are the numbers below cumulative or a running total. i.e. 10th milestone in arena is 33750 or the total of 10 milestones is 33750

man this is still confusing as hell to me

"2 before 1800 is a problem"

Is there no systematic control here? Are you talking about alliance hopping? Need a better understanding of WTH you mean.

Let me simplify. Will I be able to join every Bounty if I am in one alliance?

You actually fight both of them at the same time, each at either side of the screen

In all seriousness, one of those Green Goblins is actually a Symbiote Spidey - thanks for pointing that out.

It's a new event, free 5 star champions to the people the farthest ahead of everyone else. That about sums it up.

It's "free". I mean it's an additional reward added on for this month. You could have gotten nothing.

So very nice of you to introduce a new 5* thor for MMX to help them along ,

This would be exponentially better and more "fair" if arena wasn't included in this. This basically assures you have to be in game at all times grinding to even have hope.

Can we say the winner of the new Thor has way too much time on their hands?

I find this answer confusing. I believe the OP just wants to know if the game will have a failsafe built in to not allow them to do more than 1 during the 6 hour window. I am assuming so since only one can be active and they last 6 hours. However, what if someone changes alliances during that 6 hour window, will the game allow them to complete another mission during the same window?

Yes, I think that's a fair statement to say. We will see who spends the most time in MCOC based on the top 10.

Good for 4star crystal explore all events 100%

@Kabam Miike

Will this be under the “events” tab meaning that if we are trying to do a labyrinth of legend run, we will be totally locked out of the valor events until we either complete the lol path or quit lol? I was planning to do my first run in the next two weeks...

This could possibly mean that you can’t do 2 different difficulty’s?

Mists

This is pretty confusing, but I am excited about this competitive-ish event.

@Kabam Miike Do you guys know why no mastery cores were added to the Valor store? They were included in rocket's workshop, and the game has progressed even further since then.

AgentEdward

This kinda reminds of me of the rocket scrap thing you guys had. I like the concept and the opportunity to get some more class catalyst (although I will have to work my butt off for it).. You guys said you would these resources more accessible and you are. Now just no bugs and we will be fine. Nice job Kabam. Wait did I really just say that..?

You can't enter a Test of Valor if you have your Party active in any other quest, because it's just like any other quest in that regard.

Rotelly

Does anyone else feel like this event is more complicated than it should be?

Is this the only way to acquire Thor (Ragnarok) or can I get him through crystals as well?

He'll be available in the regular methods as well! So you can find him in his Featured Hero Crystal, and in the Arena as well.

How can someone complete 2 in that time period, would that be from changing alliance?

zuhhahaha
