    Thanks - this is me showing my newness to the game again, but I’ve joined a new alliance, and want to place some defenders for next war. There’s only 6/10 people on the map so there’s space, and the alliance isn’t enlisted in this war, but I can still only spectate. I can’t join. In some alliances do you have to be invited to join the war? The join button is greyed out for me at the moment.


    Not sure why it won't let you place defenders, but you can't join a war that is already in progress at the time you join an alliance. You should still be able to place defenders though because that doesn't take effect until the next war.

    Yeah I’m on the ‘next war’ tab and it doesn’t let me join. So strange. War is a big part of the game for me as the rewards are good for my level so hoping it resolves itself.

    Oh could it be because I was playing in the current war in my previous alliance?

    You need to go to the war room tab and hit the place heroes button.

    Already tried, it just brings me back to the screen I shared above.

    Then it may be related to your war with your previous alliance. If you didn't finish that war (reach the final node) then your defenders are probably locked until it ends.

    Thanks everyone - This is all really great stuff, appreciate the time you've all taken and for the great advice!


    Try to be smart with who you rank up as well. Champs with utility and immunity will assist you alot.

    Is the royal hunt the last chance to get banquet tickets? I’m not on 6.4 so don’t have this available to me. I think even when I can purchase the next 5 tickets in the outpost I’m only going to have 20. Will I be able to get another 10 from anywhere to get me to at least 30? I would really like to be able to get sinister

    There will be 10 from an accolades event in addition to 5 in the outpost, but otherwise yes.

    Thanks - is there any detail of the accolades event? Will they be achievable for someone like me who is only uncollected?

    If it's what I think it is, it's gifting titles and profile pictures. Nothing exciting, but a fun way to recognize friends and alliance members.

    They are currently giving away a few champs for free if you sign up here https://playcontestofchampions.com/giveaway. Maybe that could help with your progress, and if you reach a higher tier before opening the reward you can even get them as a 6 star.

    Thanks already signed up. Not sure any of them are worth ranking up except knull though

    Purgatory got a buff and is pretty great now, plus she's 6* locked currently so a decent rankup.

    Mojo's pretty great but a bit situational - he relies on the opponent having multiple time-duration (i.e. not permanent) buffs because his toxin causes buffs to expire quickly and then inflicts degen on them. But he has very little utility other than that.

    Mojos utility is awesome since he deals uniquely with buffs, and with nowadays all cosmic champs and buff heavy champs come with bullfiy/neutralize immunity, he is a great champ to have. And after a short ramp he becomes useful against any champ.

    Just pulled venom from a 6* and levelled him up straight away to top of rank 1. Question is, why is his overall rating only 6,546?! I thought he was good but it’s the lowest rating out of all my rank 1 6* champs.

    He's an older champ, so his PI is fairly low. For whatever reason, it's kinda just the nature of the beast. But don't get caught up too high on the PI of champs. At the end of the day, it is only a number. When youre facing opponents with PI in six or seven figures, you'll realize that the difference between a champ at 25k and a champ at 30k is pretty much irrelevant.

    Thanks - does he need awakening? I know you’re a regular commenter on this thread so thanks again for all your help!

    He's a great rank up choice without being awakened. His awakening is a nice little boost, but it isnt a gamechanger like some dupes can be.

    It looks like i'm going to be able to reach the class 6* Nexus crystal in the Battlegrounds solo event which i'm really pleased about. As someone who doesn't own a 5* or 6* Hulkling, CGR, or Herc. I take it Cosmic is the way to go to try and pull one of these?! Current 6* Roster is:

    Bishop (awakened), Spider-Ham, Abs Man, Kingpin, Dani Moonstar, Gorr, Angela, Torch, Rintrah, Thing, Venom, Stryfe, Scarlet Witch, Dormammu, Sabretooth, Taskmaster, Karnak, Spider-man (Classic), Abomination, Ms Marvel.

    Based on the above, any recommendations of classes/champs I should be targeting would be helpful!

    From this, it seems like you'd benefit most from a Cosmic nexus (fingers crossed for Herc) or maybe a Tech nexus.

    Yeah I think cosmic. I’d be thrilled with herc, hulkling or CGR, and also happy with a few others such as Corvus etc. Tech I have 5* warlock at rank 4 and lady D fully ranked both duped so the need isn’t massively there for tech and I feel like I play really well with Lady D

    Ah, ok. I didn't see those in your list. They are 2 solid tech Champs. Definitely go for Cosmic and I'll have my fingers crossed for a good pull!!

    Oh geez. That's a cruel shame!

    Who did you go for?

    CMM. I’m part of the mcoc encyclopaedia discord and the guy who runs the YouTube channel says she’s actually great for progression…she’s still no herc, CGR or hulkling though 👎

    I’m now thinking to myself that I can get to 200k points in the event which would give me enough shards for my first 7* champ. Worked it out I need to play around 7 BG matches per day and that’s assuming I lose all of them and all played with energy. Based on the assumption I may get some more elders marks from progression and I’ll win a few matches I think I can definitely do this! I’m in platinum v now though and the matches are much more difficult
