Announcing: Community's Choice Boss Rush Challenge

Our latest quest content has everyone here quite excited, and marks a ‘first EVER’ for The Contest: A ‘For the players, by the players’ Boss Rush!

We asked some of the Contest of Champions Content Creators to help us build the next iteration of the Boss Rush Challenge. The Creators chose their favourite Champion, and worked with our Quest Design team to give them some challenging and super interesting Buffs! Some chose to go for interesting combinations that rewards aggressive play, while others took it upon themselves to come up with something that is truly crushing!

We are very excited to be able to work so closely with our community on this, and are even more excited to announce that this will be live today!

This Quest will be available March 21st at 10am PST, and become unavailable April 4th at 10am PST (The same time as the Monthly Event Quest) So try it out while you can! You must be at least level 40 to unlock this quest.

THE ROSTER
The fights you’ll be facing in this Boss Rush are as follows:

Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced), as chosen and buffed by Havok. Check out Havok's Video on his Encounter!
Rocket Raccoon, as chosen and buffed by ContestChampion, Brian Grant. Check out Brian's Video on his Encounter!

Iceman, as chosen and buffed by Dorky Diggedy Dave. Check out Dave's Video on his Encounter!

All of our Content Creators have also made videos to highlight their encounter in this Boss Rush Challenge! We will be adding the links to each video as they go live. We are also thrilled to announce that two of our Content Creators are creating videos for Chinese and French audiences within The Contest!!

THE REWARDS

For completing this Boss Rush you earn:

- 175x Units
- 1000x 5-Star Shards
- 10x 5-Star Signature Stone Crystals
- 10x 4-Star Signature Stone Crystals

In addition to the above, we’ve added one extra special, ‘one time only’ additional reward to this Boss Rush:

- 1x Community’s Choice Crystal - This special crystal will award a 4-Star Version of one of the Champions chosen by our Content Creators in this Boss Rush Challenge. (Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced), Rocket Raccoon, Mephisto, Ant-Man, Venom, Iceman)

The addition of this crystal is a result of the slight increase in difficulty this Boss Rush will have, thanks to the amazing selections the Content Creators made.

We hope everyone will enjoy the latest Boss Rush, and that you’ll all take the time to check out each creator’s strategy video!

I might do it, but with no revives spent. I prefer to keep my units and stuff for the infinity war quests coming probably next month

Iceman was a pain. I solod him with a full r4 Sparky and finished with about 6% health. Such a fun and interactive skill based fight right there!

Epistriatus

Fun & interesting challenge. At 1st I was like: “Brian Gant, come on, really, RR with al those stupid nodes, my champs will be slaughtered o_O” Then I did the fight & I was smiling all the way, really fun, my 5* Drax put him out of his misery & was at full health at the end of the fight

Same basically went for the other fights, they were fun, looking forward to the next challenge. I welcome every 5* sig stone

Except for Venom or starburst to say it precisely was pain for me, rest were just fine.
Used health boost and champion boost before going to iceman but realized i wasted when i finshed with 35% health on Cap WW2 xD

It'd be nice to have contestes where not only top level players can get rewards. I'm 135k, on act now and can't even beat the 1st node on this challenge.

What’s with the crappy champions like Rocket Racoon, Antman, and Venom should have let the community decide

They did. But they thought they were choosing challenges, they werent aware that the same heroes would be included in a crystal.

Im questioning this for a while here but no mods have answered, they re too busy closing other threads

@Kabam Miike why the players who made this werent aware they were also choosing champions to be in a crystals? Seems like unethical to me

Overall was pretty meh, decided to go in blind and without watching any videos, though I did make one myself one my first run... for those who think it’s difficult, don’t fear a 4* sparky can easily take iceman down.

Lol I just asked in another chat who chose him to be in the crystal...too funny! Even the guy who chose him doesn't want him in the crystal...har! har! har! That is so funny that it offsets the sadness!

xananabanana

Just when I thought I can finally get Spark or Iceman since there are only 6 champs in the crystal but I just had to roll ANTMAN!

Boss rush is beatable.

Sorry, it is an elitist event that obvious requires a min 5/50 team and probably unlocked r3 5s, of which I have none (owing to the shortage of t4cc at the solo player level). It's not worth draining supplies and units for. Why would I empty my cache of revives and restores for a chance to get Ant-man (Who I do have, locked) because that is just my luck...

Bdawg333

For the players by the players lol funny

Frankly too much of the game has become designed for the "elite" players...

Pass hard pass you know much so pass that inwolll

You guys do realize that players picked these champs and nodes yet all of you are blaming Kabam for the difficulty lol. I have plenty of rank 4 5* but I’m going to do it with 4* for the extra challenge

you think kabam let the players choose the nodes????

Show the final hit count. You could've just used any random champ to take down 99% of Sparky's health and then bring in the 1* spider man for the killing blow

Top3rom3koms

I have so many issues with this quest for starters in the first 3 lines it says it's by the players for the players but they haven't took all the players in to account when making this quest it's only for level 40 and above not all players are that high up, I have many issues with this game now and I am fed up with messaging kabaam about my issues and nothing ever gets done with out a lot of aggravation and telling them that they are wrong this is not a game designed with all players in mind case and point the boss rush challenge it is designed for the higher levelled player or the ones willing to pay through the nose for it the need to consider everyone at all levels and aspects of the game they could and should revamp the whole thing reward system, bracket system even at the end of this message for the boss rush they say they hope EVERYONE will enjoy it and they say ALL of you that means every single player in the world yet they have only catered this quest to level 40+ that's not EVERYONE rant over.

Do you have the same complaint about Act 5, RttL Chapter 4, or LoL? There exists in this game content that was NOT meant to be won by medium level players people! Is that difficult to understand?

I agree...For the average player, this challenge is just unplayable. I've been playing this game for two years and I only have two 5/50 4-star champs plus a couple of 3/45 unduped 5-stars, so I don't have any flexibility to pick and choose what champs in my roster are better suited for certain fights. I always have to play my top 5 champs and hope they don't get crushed. I just tried this challenge and the first boss, Stark Enhanced Spidey, wiped out my top two champs like they were nothing. So I quit out and will now have to see this crummy event tab for the next two weeks.

I have plenty of good 4 & 5-star champs that I wish I could rank up but the game offers so little chances for T4 materials, since I'm not Uncollected and my alliance doesn't really push milestones or AQ/AW. This brings me to my next point...

All you get from this challenge are several 4&5 star signature stones, 1000 5-star shards, 175 units, and a specialized 4-star crystal?

Y'know, for the average player, that might be ok but it's still missing T4B & T4CC's...But for the elite players this was designed for, that's terrible. They probably already have all these 4-star champs duped by now and 1/10th of a 5-star is meh.

I wish Kabam would up the rewards and allow challenges like this to be multi-tiered in difficulty so that players of any skill level can participate. If this game is going to become an Uncollected-only exclusive, then I'll probably have to go play something else more rewarding.

Here is my opinion -- just my thoughts -- on things like this Boss Rush.

Do people really find these kinds of modes enjoyable to play?

That is not the same as "can you beat these nodes?"

Because if you have enough skill and a good enough roster, you will beat the nodes. If you have less skill and a weaker roster, you can spend enough units to overpower it.

So again, the question is not whether a player can beat the nodes.

The question is "was it enjoyable as an aspect of a game that you play for enjoyment and a challenge?"

And I always loop back to this: Is it really enjoyable to face Mephisto's Unavoidable Damage, while unless you are using a villain you are gaining no power, and Mephisto has 70K health?

Am I doing it? Yep. I'm gonna do it. I want the stuff you get for doing it. I have the roster to do it.

But it isn't fun. It's tedious. Some of it's cheap, like Safeguard on Iceman -- yeah, you can do that. You can put Iceman on that node, and say "that's challenging!!!!"

But it isn't fun. It's got nothing to do with skill. It really doesn't. Because there's a large number of people who aren't taking down a 70K Iceman on a Safeguard node just by dashing back and baiting.

That, to me, is not fun. It's just something that you do if you want the rewards, or not. And I wish there was more emphasis on "fun," and less on cheap mechanics like Aura of Incineration -- yes, I have a 5/50 Iceman -- and stuff like that.

I don't know. Just my opinion, folks

Your_Father

This is kind of ridiculous. "You're really good at this game? Here, this'll help you get better!" Another event that is impossible for newcomers. Allowing veterans to get better champs, and leaving us noobs with nothing? I understand not wanting to just give away god champs, but at least give us some sort of event that is actually possible for us.

Williet

Why on earth would i want a crystal that has a chance of an antman. They put ant man in there because they will kabam you everytime and give you ant man.

DiablosUltimate

Im surprised and highly dissapointed to see that Analyser and Seatin didn't get to make one.
