Farewell to Jax

After 2 years, Jax is moving on from Kabam. In his time here, he has had an incredible impact on the game, especially in the community interactions. From the monthly streams, to the official discord, to the Battlerealm Brawl, he has been instrumental in so much that we do. Losing him, especially so soon after Miike, will definitely leave a hole. Once again, I'm sure the team would appreciate some grace as they adjust. As he steps down from this role, he will be succeeded by Dave, of Dork Lessons fame. If anyone is up to the task of filling Jax's shoes, it's him. We will miss Jax greatly, but I know Dave will do great in this role.


July Content - Stern Minds Prevail/Alpha Fight

The side quest is a simple structure, one quest each week for 4 weeks. Solo objectives and events tie into completing the quest.
Full Details/


Patriot/Leader

Patriot can gain large precision passives and gets extra combo for each hit. He places non damaging debuffs on himself, but counters the Inequity mastery. Easy access to Vigilance, and once built up, can trigger a reversal, countering the attack. He gains benefits for each debuff, and is anticipated to be an excellent Photon counter. He will have some good defensive utility, but is intended as a better attacker, especially in war and battlegrounds.
The Leader builds tons of spectre and wither debuffs, and rewards light intercepts. He has an AoE effect called the Green Door in the middle of the arena. The door starts closed, but once it opens, it deals damage when the opponent is standing on it. His kit is designed around reversing healing and power gain, and even increases the opponent's regen rate. He will likely be a decent dual threat in battlegrounds, especially against mystic opponents.
Deep Dives will go live over the weekend

    This means that I can rank 3 my Guardian on Monday. It was between him and Red Skull (unawaken). It was going to be whoever was awakened first and it looks like Guardian wins. Thanks for the info.

    I would say red skull doesn't need dupe and can be helpful and tanky and benefits more at r3 where guardian can still be op at r2
    At the end it's your choice though 🙂

    I already have an unawaken Kilmonger at rank 3 out of 4 so I want my next rank 3 to be awaken. I do love Red Skull a lot. My other option was Onslaught but again he's unawaken and I have a rank 5 6 star already.

    Bro what you have onslaught and u are not taking him to r3 bro really awakening only matters when that champ need the most if the champ is not affected by awakening then you can rank them unawaken and difference between r5 onslaught and r3 onslaught is quite massive in both attack and defence so going with onslaught or red skull would not be a bad thing

    ** v45.1 UPDATE NOTES for JULY **

    https://playcontestofchampions.com/news/v45-1-release-notes/

    A lot of fixes listed in there, but in particular..

    * Fixed an issue where Champions placed as defenders in Alliance War were sometimes missing Saga tactics badging (icon)

    (For RAIDS in particular, hopefully those cross-fight Charges ? But wonder if this will include AEGON charges in general too after a crash like in other game modes ??)

    * Fixed an issue with Champions losing Crossfight abilities after a crash in game modes with health penalties for fight recovery

    * Fixed an issue with the M.O.D.O.K. Raids Boss not realizing Special Attacks were knocking him down. In his defense, he’s basically a cube. It was hard to tell.

    (some alliances that were having enlist issues at start of the season)
    * Fixed an issue with Alliance leadership being unable to update both on and off-season Alliance War settings at the same time
    Fixed an issue with Alliance War Attackers incorrectly being able to join other quests

    (and finally in game)
    * Made the Canadian tag visible in game menus (+ fixing 2014 Champ tag)

    (and no more RED King Groot ?)
    * Fixed an issue with certain Champions unintentionally glowing red

    Finally have a candidate for my tech rank 3 gem…

    Tech is my weakest class by far and although I would like a HB or Warlock as rank 3, this should be a worthy rank up on Tuesday (Oz time).
  • Vance2_jrVance2_jr Member Posts: 752 ★★★
    Oh man. This complicates things in the best way. Was waiting to bring guardian to r2 when awakened. But now do I r3 him, awakened serpent, unawakened weapon x or sig 120 Angela (who I’m leaning toward).
