    Its a stupid fight but we all did it to become elders bane don't make such a title so easy. I hated when I did all act 4 then they nerfed caltrops juggs. My brother isn't skilled enough for the old one but can do this one no problem

    You can evade his special 2

    Yeah but most of the time you won't be able to push him to sp2. Even if you do, by the time you get used to the evade timing (if you get used to it at all), the collector would already be dead

    Tenacity, Unblockable Specials, Renegeration, Unstoppable, Immune to Debuffs...Nothing to do but Hope u intercept and get a few combos in before wipes the floor with u with an unblockable special

    Sounds like you don't want a solution, sounds like you just want to complain.

    So what's the solution? (And please don't say it's a r4 5* Dorm. Not everyone has one, let alone at r4)

    Thats the thing though..what if u dont have these champs?

    Then you keep playing until you do, or you get better with the ones you have. No matter how long you've played, no matter how much you've spent, no matter how many champs you have, no one automatically deserves to beat all of the content whenever they want. If you can't beat it today, that might simply mean you have to come back when you can. That's how it works for everyone. Some need less time, some need more. But some people simply need patience and the will to get stronger over time, or be disappointed they can't do what they think they ought to be able to do.

    Its unfair because no matter what you do...You WILL HAVE to revive...opposed to Ultron Act chapter 4 you can find ways to beat him without reviving...you cant say the same for collector...its unfair

    Then save revives. Those crystals you get every four hours? They contain revives and potions. Are you stock piling them for hard content?

    I don't know if you know this or not, but not every player does. If you open those, the extras go into your stash and eventually expire. But if you simply claim but do not open them, they build up in a pile of crystals that never expire. You can theoretically save up hundreds or even thousands of those, and then only open them when you need them for hard content. Even if some piece of content takes hundreds of potions, you could save them up and use them without spending any units or cash. The contents of those are random, of course, but you can still save a ton of them and assume you'll get some of what you want if you open enough of them. At this moment in time I have 210 of the original free crystals and 530 uncollected free crystals currently unopened.

    Resource management is a part of this game. Doing things efficiently can save a huge amount of units and cash.

    To the people who say block prof during the collector fight doesn’t matter: in the beginning of the fight, your initial parry will probably be shrugged off, which means he will be pounding on your block for a bit. Having a nice Vibranium shield to hide behind keeps the fight a little slow paced.

    Another good way is to utilize backdraft intercepts. He’s aggressive so it’s basically guaranteed he will rush you after your MLLL< Combo, so it won’t fail much, and you can get to an L1 before him. AoU can chip off a big chunk of power so you will be able to get 1-3 more combos in. MLLL<>MLLL<>MLLLMSp1 is how to do it. If you don’t have almost all r5s, or don’t have a big unit stash or can’t handle bane, just practice. No sense in using revives to get past MK in 5.2.5

    i beat him once on my second account so i could become uncollected and i only had 2 5/50 at the time - thor and wolverine. thor worked best for that account by just dishing out as much armor break damage as possible til he uses a special and kills you. pop a lvl 1 revive with no health pots and do it again.

    You already created a thread about this here: http://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/55249/act-5-chapter-2-collector-nerf#latest

    And it was shut down, and you made this one about the same topic, which violates rule 2...

    Actually, this was posted before the other closed down post so if they felt the need to close this one down they would have already. Pls leave it to the moderators...

    Did you try Loki? He steals all incoming buffs with his curse.

    IDK but i find it weird that everyone found this fight that hard....i used 1 40% team reveive to get him down using 4* SW, 4* Thor for his L1 stun, 4* Gwenpool, 5* X-23 R4, & 4* Capt. WW2 just fight him like AV because of the tenacity and intercept him bait his L1 evade first part block 2nd beam....his regen isn't nothing to worry about its when hes unblockable where you need to intercept. but keep at it you will take him down.....also save your free crystals always that way when you get tough fights like this you can pop a bunch to get reveives and potions to help push thru the fight.

    Duped Beast can work if you enter the fight under 50% health. He will start in Acrobatic mode, opponents gain 50% less power when being struck and add an additional 55% if you follow the combo chain. You can get off close to 50 hits before he reaches a bar of power.

    Another tip, after you use a special dash in when the Collector is recovering and you can get another combo in if you time it right. This works well using Hyperion. Also, if he reaches a bar hold block and bait his heavy or snap back intercept.

    Edit: if you throw in SIM or BP, Beast will gain +15% attack once a combo of 15 is reached.

    A lot of the answers you see, hulk, thor, etc are because you have to keep reviving, but they can do massive damage right away, whereas SL isnt mentioned because it won't be a long fight. Some other good alternatives I've seen are dormammu and og vision who can keep his power controlled immediately. I used SW with 400 units per run. Occasionally get lucky with a power lock and can use an sp2 before he kills you.

    @NOOOOOOOOPEEEEE High block proficiency tends to not work because of unblockable specials and low attack

    I did use my SL - 5 star sig 80 and I was able to get a 20 hit combo in most of the time. You go in prepared to use revives - I used 6 I believe and I didn't waste time using potions as you get koed after one special.

    and no I didn't spend any units :-)

    Only bring heavy hitters and use team revives. No need to use potions, because you will die once he gets to his specials anyway. On average it takes me 2 team revives to get him down with 4/40 and 5/50. Yes, it's annoying, and a pure cashgrab, but yeah...

    Some have had success with nightcrawler. Dash back like a wild man. Duped NC is capable of doing decent damage too. That said he's tough. Don't think he needs to be nerfed though. Should be able to get past him with a few revives and the right champs. Just try to do as much damage as possible. No need to heal up either just revive and attack.

    Stark Spidey can power drain with his heavy attack and evade. Dormammu's power drains with his heavy too but Stark's is better. Vision's power drain is reliant on special attacks so I wouldn't count on it, because the Collector may get to his sp1 before Vision does. Duped OG Daredevil can evade projectiles.
  • CapWW2CapWW2 Member Posts: 2,901 ★★★★
    Stop complaining. Hulk vision Og vision magik can kill him easily
  • CapWW2CapWW2 Member Posts: 2,901 ★★★★
    Also his specials are fully evadeable
