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!

@Primmer79 thanks

What's up with Incinerate and Shock being a Vanquishing blow? There are only 12 champions that can do incinerate damage (and most have it on their special 2, so you kill them more often than that you can incinerate them). And there are only 7 champions that can do shock damage.

What's the thought process behind this? Incinerate and Shock kills are impossible to do unless you have the perfect champions. And even then, it's insanely hard to pull off. Making it impossible to obtain all the milestones in the quest.

My guess in that their thinking is along the lines of the following: Let's make sure that in order to reach all the milestones for incinerate, bleed, etc. that we require summoners to purchase lots of energy refills.

Need a new 4 star or 5 star crystal very badly ... plz help

RockCity333

Thanks for not being able to delay the tests or make them 6 hours from the time you start them. Mine triggered at midnight using up energy before bed. So I get screwed out of the bonus because 15 people weren't up to get notified. Thanks kabam

RockCity333

As far as the incinerate damage, even though red hulk's causes incinerate, finishing off a person with it doesn't trigger the points because the damage kills them first whereas the incinerate I'm damage over time as an after effect. So unless you do it perfectly and only almost kill with the damage of l2 and incinerate finishes them off, doesn'the count. Total garbage.

RockCity333

Oh and for anyone that is wondering, completing heroic the first time triggers it
Has done it for me and my alliance members so kabam saying it's random is pretty much a load of ****.

This is not true. We have had guys complete heroic with no event running and it does NOT trigger 100% of the time. While we have seen 3500 or so Valor collected start the missions instead.

This is RANDOM, however the more Valor you collect at one time, the more likely it is that the missions trigger. It's not that hard to understand.

I just 100% heroic chapter 3 (450k valor) and nothing.... We haven't had it spawn since yesterday.

BoneCrusher

In the "Gods of the Arena Event Quest", what does Mastery mean in terms of valor earning? Is Mastery meant to be 100% of the quest? If so, Valor is awarded when each Quest's Chapter 3 is explored.

Is this a glitch?

That is,by definition,an exploit, First time "clearing" ch3 gives 150k valor,and "mastering"(exploring) gives 450k valor in heroic.And Mastery means 100% of ch3,both quests 100%

How does the exchange rate make sense in your valor store. A 3* and 4* crystal are the same amount of shards in the game. Yet in the valor store the 4* is over 10 times the price.

Then for the same price you can buy 1/10 of a 5* crystal.

Not understanding the exchange rate

It's already stated in the original post, but if you are 1st when the event ends, you get 2x 5* Thor Ragnarok, which is essentially a Sig 20 5* Thor Ragnarok. You also get the rare title of "Champion of Valhaha" for placing in the top 10000.

I'm assuming you are referring to the test of valor mission. Yes it's normal, because there's only completion rewards.

So yea you just wasted your energy exploring it, all the rewards are already obtained by completing it once.

I’m so discouraged with AW right now the game feels uninspired lack of heart and imagination.

The only thing I’m clinging too is opening a 5* stark Spider-Man tomorrow if that doesn’t pan out I’m not sure this games worth playing anymore.

This is something new and nice.Hi.I m new to the forum

If my alliance doesn't have 15 members then how can i play Test of Velor?

Good afternoon. I wonder why our alliance missed bounty hunter(test of valor) mission? Where is the bounty hunter button? We didn't get bounty hunter mission after the schedule maintenance. Is this issue or what?
