**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

Now I see why everyone is pissed about the adaptoid....

Luckily I have a 4* version of some of the champs mentioned , Medusa , nebula and magik to name a few .
I’ve got plenty of time and I don’t mind if I have to restart over and over to find who works best for me .
If if you don't want a advice an you keep moaning an arguing it's too hard then that called a rant. Rants are against the forum rules
Medusa
Nebula
Sparks
Also, he has a **** ton of buffs. 1 SP2 from Morning Star is devastating to that thing. Or just land an SP1 with Vooodoo & watch his Health disintegrate. Or... JUST USE RONAN. Stop being a bunch of cry babies, do the damn quest... reap the rewards & move on LMAO
Yes this. Guys who get it past treat others like they are lesser and tell them get good. I mean no offence but stop after giving advices, no need to tell ppl to get good without actually knowing everyone. It just seems like a show off. Now please don't criticise me as well, I have explored all uncollected monthly quests till July. And I'll do this month as well but after I get better at it.
So instead of showing off, give constructive advices that actually helps people. When you say get good, the morale goes dipping. Everyone was at this stage at some point. Let's not forget that.
Unfortunately there are many posts like those. I can only apologize for them.
And there are many posts where even after the suggestions and tips they are not satisfied with the response and they fill the thread with unconsctructive complaints.
I believe both are wrong and unfortunately they complement each other.
Neither the asking nor the answering is ok.
What I would recommend is not paying attention to those posts and focusing on the ones that are trying to be helpful.
There are many positive posts and I believe you could benefit from those. If it’s not enough, be sure to ask any questions you have. I can assure you that if your posts come as a question instead of a complaint many will try to help you. If not, please tag me. I’ll do my best.
Don’t complain because you CAN’T. Ask how you CAN
I agree to this totally. And I also think we should create a thread where we can discuss these difficult guys and the possible solutions to it. That would be better thing to do.
Yes he needs dupe.
Common errors -
1) I didn’t read the mini boss node. So I went in ill-equipped. Worse, my muscle memory tells me automatically to engage a combo right after the adaptoid fires his special 1 and 2. (When unstoppable/unblockables are on)
2) I was impatient and readily assumed the fights in masters will be pretty much the same as previous (tough but hey, it will be cake walk). I assumed too much without relying on cold hard facts.
What I did next?
EXIT current fights and forgo the energy I burnt. Next, I read up, research counters and trial test.
I failed on 2 more attempts at adaptoid because of my own carelessness and my muscle memory is just reluctant to switch.
The forum provided a very tangible solution aka Ronan and Morningstar, and I just end up laughing at my own silliness and sheer stupidity for forgetting Ronan/MS are the best buff killers in the realm. (even after playing this game for 3 years)
So kudos to those thought this up, and thank you for sharing.
By the way, I took a coward’s way out by using Dorm vs Heimdall. Parry, medium, parry medium, sp2. Hey, whatever that gets the job down right?
Wonderful write up of your experience. Thanx for sharing this. I think dormy can be a counter for all these guys with his power burn. Thankyou.
I believe it’s due to pacify as well. At least on the 2*. In that case I don’t think 1 point is gonna be enough. It would be a terribly long fight.
On the 3* I think it is possible to just out damage it given all the time he’s stunned.
Look at some videos. I’m attaching a couple examples but there are many on YouTube.
That’s what I think this thread should be.
And exchange of questions and advices.
Not a pissing contest to see who’s right.
I hope we can redirect it to that.
Thanks for the vids they make it look pretty easy .
I’ve thought about it and I think I will just rejig my utility masteries and add 2 points to max pacify . It will cost less than an energy refill so it’s probably my best option if I want to 100%
Good luck stacking poison onto the Adaptoid mate...
Boost with attack health boost/ and attack boost.
One thing I noticed is that this Adaptoid operates differently and makes us all think differently on how to over come it.
Oh, already beat it once. Still a pain though lol
Also used 4 star 5/50 Dusa for fun.
Hmmm, this sounds familiar, especially what I’ve highlighted in bold. So your point here, and I’ve included the rest of your post for context, is that because Ronan is a 3* that means his health pool is so little that one slip up or mistake means the end of you, right? You should have a situation “with no room for error”.
Funny then, that this was your exact argument for skill, back when ice Phoenix was a challenge. Your argument was that because ice Phoenix took so much of your health at the start of the match, it left you with so little health that you “can’t do it unharmed”. Or in other words, you had no room for error.
And remember that, in this situation: all you have to do is get to a special one, and then the opponent is in a permanent stun lock I.e they will not move in the fight again. But in ice Phoenix it was a full fight, you were on sub 15% health (a 3* max for me has 5-6k health. 15% of a 4* 5/50 is around 1.5k-2.5k health. Which is a lot less health than a 3*. Meaning you have even less room for error against ice Phoenix). 5k health and an opponent that cannot move, or 2k health against an aggressive fully mobile opponent. I know which fight I’d rather have. But for some reason, for GW it’s skill for one, but the other is “too much”.
For the context of your statements, here is the link. https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/36333/ice-phoenix/p6
I’d advise everyone to go over and have a read of the page where Gw claims it’s skill to have a fight where you can’t get hit.
For those who don’t want to visit the thread, here are some screenshots of what he said. (Apparently according to GW this means it’s out of context, even though I’m screenshotting the entire conversation, but that’s why I added the link above, so people can see for themselves too.)
You must not have been paying attention. The last nerf uncollected adaptoid thread has over 15 different champions who can defeat him. I personally explained 4 or 5. This one has about 20. Do you want me to list them for you, or can I trust that you will go back and read instead of blindly storming in and claiming nobody’s helping?
hit it a lot
Magik : build v easy Sp2 or sp3.. since he gets unblock dmg at 25% u will play like intercept at end or try time and do a sp3 around 25%.. remember to stack those psy resi and her Sp3 gonns wreck that champ
Mordo : same way.. but with MD its v easy to get a sp2 in and build op a sp3 to get those furys.. u will notice he just gonna dieeeeee
Morningstar sp2.. when 10 stack buff or more.. and buy buy HP
Voodoo : sp1.. poision nuff say
Medusa : its a robot.. Medusa just love those kind of champs..
Spark : its a robot and sp2 just kill it.. build 10 stack poise.
I havent tried all but magik / morningstar / voodoo are great options specially with md
Just a correction for voodoo, he doesn’t get poison against the poison immune Adaptoid.
However, I’ll add another four.
Ronan -buff increase damage stun duration meaning stun lock
Proxima -large damage, can block unblockable attacks even under 25%
corvus -25% reduced ability accuracy, large damage to take 25% health off at once so don’t worry about unblockable attacks under 25%. True damage ignores physical resistance
nebula- 5+ charges completely shuts down all abilities of adaptoid
I have a serious question, not trolling or anything. Why are you so warped on the 3* Ronan? When people have given 20+ champion solutions to him, I will admit. I auto fight master and only fight the boss's of chapter 3. I actually had to really fight the adaptoid in master which I never do, so for uncollected I knew I needed to actually play and think, which I don't mind. Immediately to me, I saw all the boosts on him and thought to myself nullify...
Loki and Voodoo came to mind. I also used SL to see if i can just out damage him, and it went by easy. The only problem I ran into was the random lag spike on his specials which did cause me to get clipped. For exploration I did bring my 5* duped Ronan just to 100% it, but there are a lot of options.
In this forum there is a big disconnect between veterans, beginners and those right in the middle, but I applaud so many people legit trying to help the ones struggling with so many options, that in all likelihood you had at least one of those champs, but there's a lot of stubborn people just thinking every challenge should be easy. It was nice to see that for once my Loki and even Ronan would actually be useful for something. But you dont need them, plenty of counters.
Also plenty of youtube videos that help with strategies that arent a 2 or 3* Ronan.
To be fair, on uncollected -- when he gets unblockable for all hits (the last 25%), it can be difficult/frustrating to get into a pattern. OTOH, I expect the uncollected version to be a challenge, so this was fun for me. (It is easy to get down 75%; the only difficulty is the last 25%.)
There are ways around the unblockable under 25%, nebula, Proxima, medusa, Corvus, Hyperion, magik all spring to mind.
