Let's talk about the Champion of the Universe

in General Discussion


So the Champion, MCOC's only playable Elder of the Universe, released alongside one of the best (long form) champs of 2018, AEgon. He has a cool kit consisting of ramping Persistent charges to gain buffs (like True Accuracy, Fury, Unstoppable) and do damage. He also ramps up faster when going up against a group called Contest's greatest fighters (which includes Starky, Blade, Star Lord, Hyperion, Corvus, Iceman, etc). However, with a synergy with Titania, this extends to all champs in mcoc.

But despite this not too many players decide to rank him up for regular content (with the exception of Swedeah), but why? How would you change this Champion? How would you improve him?

    Change? Improve? Why? Even you said it - Sweadah - shows amazing gameplay with him. Like most champs you just have to know how to use him.

    The Champion update
    1. Increase his persistent charges from 5 to 8.
    2. Update the greatest fighters list. Preferably with the same cadence as something else like the Featured 6 star crystal to give us a timer and something to look forward to.
    3. Don't need a three. The first two are plenty, but if they want to get nuts, add his Luke Cage synergy to his kit at 8 furies.

    His best stuff is locked behind barriers like intercepting, specific matchups, and boss fights. Most people aren't going to bring him, Luke Cage, and Titania in just to stunt on a boss. It makes for a good YouTube video, but isn't practical.

    1. Make his special attacks and intercepts (both light and medium) not consume his furies. He always keeps going down to sub 3 which hurts his damage, he never remains at his true damage state for long.
    2. Give him buff removal immunity. His belt has to be useful for something.
    3. Poison resistance, ala Karnak would be nice for him, a bit of willpower healing.
    4. His sp1 literally does nothing. Make it do something. Like, pause his furies for 10 seconds or something, refresh his current buffs.

    He's got decent utility, true strike, armor breaks, furies for buff needing nodes, some very light regeneration (could use a boosted change of higher %).
    A up tune would be better than a overhaul for him.

    His intercepts don't consume furies and he's fate seal immune on the final node in a quest. He's built to thrive on boss nodes or incursion room bosses and he does.

    I also wouldn't describe his regen as light lmao

    Change his signature ability.

    Whenever "The champion" recieves the final blow, He triggers a immortality buff and a unblockable buff for 10 seconds, This buff is paused when The champion is attacking the opponent. Sounds cool right?

    A fitting name for it would be... Son of Zeus!
    Oh wait...
    I think that champs name should rhyme with "Nerf you please".

    Don’t worry Kabam can name it the “Other Son of Zeus” 😂
    Zeus in Greek mythology, was famous for having a lot of sons 😉

    It's incredibly light offensively, but strong defensively.
    His specials should not eat his charges, bad design.

    I just pulled him, reading back at those comments, I agree with most of the ideas being presented

    Because most people hear 1 person say a champion is bad and write them off completely

    His regen is absolutely not light on offense. On final boss nodes he's near unkillable if you can play him well
