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!

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!

Seatin got kicked out of the program they selected people from to make this..
Not sure analyzer ever even applied

Is there anyway you can have a simultaneous one for those of us that have no chance of beating this one. Lesser rewards!

PureRage13

So...has anyone not pulled a Ant Man or a Venom? I pretty much think the "equal pull ratio" is BS. I've seen nothing but a sea of Ant Mans and Venoms from multiple alliances, my own alliance and online.

PureRage13

The rewards are pretty trash (especially the crystal) but the challenge is not that hard. Gwenpool was a super star handling Stark Spidey, Rocket and Ant Man. Blade can still slice through Mephisto and Venom and Stark Spidey is great against IceMan. Fun fights I guess. Rocket was especially fun.

It was fun, but that crystal should have had nothing but good to great characters and fair drop rates.

It’s called a “Boss Rush,” because it’s not suppose to be easy. Making a lower level challenge would defeat the whole purpose of the Boss Rush. Some people got to accept the fact that they are not gonna beat the boss rush. It’s not the last one...focus on getting stronger.

Canario

I can beat all no bother but i just can't beat that venom

PureRage13

I don't necessarily disagree with the suggestion. Yes, Boss Rush challenges are supposed to be hard. But I don't see why they could not have two different difficulties, the harder one having better rewards and you can only choose to complete one. You could have a uncommon title for the easier challenge and a rare title for the hard one.

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.

Newer players have tons of content already in the game. Acts 1-4 and the EQ are there for you whenever you want.

I hear all the time, "join an alliance! That will solve your problem!" Only problem is that I am on my feet 7.5 hours a day in front of 30 plus students, 7 periods a day. I cannot say, "Hey! You guys just keep working I'm gonna use up my alliance quest energy real quick! Jose! Watch for the principle!" So I am punished...made to listen to how I lack skills (really makes me laugh! Cause you don't know me like dat! I play as i can, and that schedule varies...so I left my alliance right after the first run of Alliance quests cause I saw it was gonna be an issue. Guys getting pissed because a node on another path hadn't been dropped...I knew I wasn't gonna be able to schedule my life around quests and wars that run on a timer...so I didn't see a 5 for more than a year after the intro...now I am getting a few but have yet to completely raise a 3 man squad of 5/50 4s...would you want your kids teacher playing games during class? Hmmm...we are all teachers...so what are you teaching and to who?

Should make a Boss challenge for a lvl 40 and under also. Accounts higher than lvl 40 don’t typically need anything extra, it’s the new players you want to keep interested and give a leg up since they have lower lvl characters.

It's probably been said somewhere already but the boss rush isn't a community chosen event it was done with 6 YouTube content creators so why not call it what it is I don't know anybody outside the 6 content creators who were asked does anyone else know who's been asked or have you directly been asked for input for the boss rush anybody?

ESF

Just finished it. Getting ready to open the crystal.

Want Mephisto. Don't have Venom. Have Ant-Man as a 5-star, not a 4-star.

So those three characters would be OK to get.

I know some people would be really happy with Spark or Iceman, but I really don't need those characters. Rocket, either.

And the pull was...Iceman. Of course.

Exactly! We are fighting 6*s, we should get a 6* for a reward. 😉

The reward is 175 units and 10 5* sig stones for a fun 10 minute fight against six champs. I'd do that every day if they offered it.

Boss rush is beatable.

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

Thats clearly what he did.

I mean, I'm level 49 and I'm completely fine with the rewards vs the effort needed.

Titan_A97

I'm not going to lie. I didn't beat the last Boss Rush. Couldn't make it past Mephisto (the final boss). Whether it was from a lack of skill or using the wrong champions or just playing badly, I don't know.

But I can tell you since then that I've improved a bit to say the least and I beat it with 4 4* 5/50 (Hyperion unduped, Quake dupe, Ultron dupe and Magik dupe) and 1 5* 4/55 (Starlord sig 70). That says a lot since I'm not a Pay-to-Win player (I drop $50-$60 max in a year if I'm lucky) and I'm in a low effort alliance (Tier 11-13 AW and AQ Map 2 or 3) so no, this isn't aimed for the 'elites' but rather for the dedicated people. Like most things in life, if you continously put in, you'll eventually sooner or later reap the rewards. The same goes with this game. That's not to say I cruised through the whole thing unscathed. I had to team revive and dump at least 23+ health pots into my team as a collective total. It was hard but equally rewarding at the same time (unless if you got RR, AA or Venom from the crystal lol).

However, I do agree that these events do exclude beginners, especially the ones below lvl 40. I think Kabam stands to make a great deal more money by adding different difficulties to boss rush events like in the monthly EQs. That way both Kabam and the players win. To some, taking on a maxed 6* is easy but for others doing the daily Tier 3 Basic catalyst quest proves to be a challenge. And that's why it's so important to include everyone in no matter where they are in terms of progression.

Focus on getting stronger? Open months and months of arena ascentants at 1.5 to get iso or a t4basic you can get from the next arena for 1.1....months of t4cc shard crystals from every possible source only to watch them creep up at an almost imperceptible rate...it is seriously getting old!

Onslaught616

So where is option to play? When I click on Boss Rush ingame it brings me to the Quest mode with no option for it.

Cats73

Are you level 40 or higher? It's only available to those who are at level 40+

If you are going for ascendant crystals from the arena I can see why it's getting old for you lol. That is the dumbest arena. Not worth the effort.

STShorty

People are complaining that these quest are too difficult, but they aren't. You do not need 5/65 champs and all of this can be completed with 4 stars and even 3 stars. If you can't beat it, then you aren't ready for a challenge like this and running to the forums to complain about it isn't the answer. Go find an account with a high level champion of the person you are struggling with and practice there.

Nerf the iceman in this thing cuz the cold snap is literal bull ****

People need to stop complaining about how difficult the fights were. If you aren't able to complete fights then CLEARLY you aren't ready for it whether it be skill or roster.

Not all content is designed to suit your needs. Learn to accept it and you'll enjoy the game more.
