Community Choice Boss Rush Challenge 2

Summoners!

Are you ready to take on the next iteration of the Community Choice Boss Rush? We asked some of the Contest of Champions Content Creators and Community Contributors to choose 6 encounters for a brand new Boss Rush Challenge.

The Creators chose a Champion and a couple buffs. They then received some feedback on their encounters, adjusted their encounter, tested their fight, adjusted again, and are now ready to share their work with you! Some chose to go for interesting combinations that rewards aggressive play, while others took it upon themselves to come up with something that requires deeper thought!

The order of the fights, health pools, etc. were decided by our Quest Design team, and not by the creators.

Boss Rush Challenges are always different, and the difficulty level will vary from challenge to challenge, but they are still not meant to be conquered by everyone. They are meant to be difficult, and are meant to challenge your knowledge of your Champion roster, and your skill! Many will try, and many will fail!

The Fights you'll be Facing:

Symbiote Supreme, chosen and buffed by Lagacy - Watch his video here.
Quake, chosen and buffed by Dorky Diggedy Dave - Watch his video here.
Invisible Woman, chosen and buffed by DNA3000 - Read his Writeup on the encounter here.
Domino, chosen and buffed by The UMCOC Podcast
King Groot, chosen and buffed by Rich The Man - Watch his video here.
Taskmaster, chosen and buffed by Omega and Starfighter

The Rewards:

For completing the Boss Rush, you will earn:

10,000x 5-Star Shards
1 of 6 Titles, crafted to celebrate each of our contributors (You can earn this reward multiple times, so completing it 6 times will let you collect all of the Titles)
- The Diggedy Dork
- The Unofficial
- The Mega Star
- The Invisible DNA
- The Supreme Lagacy
- The Man

The Boss Rush will be available from Sept 18th at 10am PT - October 2nd at 10am PT. We'll be updating this thread over the weeks with content the participants create on their fights, so if you're having trouble on a certain fight, make sure that you come back to check out some tips and tricks!

NOTE: Any hostility, or rude behaviour towards any of the participants will not be tolerated, and can result in actions taken against your account.

@DNA3000 just a question for you or the other boss rush creators. Were you only allowed to use playable characters or could you have used the combo characters like ice Phoenix unstopable ant and punisher/strange or the loveable adaptoidswe kept as pets? Just curious how large of a pool you were given to choose from

Haha, we were only allowed to use playable characters, and characters that existed as 6* champions.

As fun as it would have been to do otherwise, no Ice Phoenix for you guys!

That's a good question. I was asked to choose "a champion" and two buffs to combine. It never even occurred to me to ask if I could use non-playable champions.

One of the reasons it never occurred to me is that I was using my own roster to think about and research champion choices. I wouldn't have felt comfortable choosing a champion I only knew from memory and couldn't look at the stats for. I don't think Kabam would have given me a champ I didn't own just to use them for the purposes of designing the Boss Rush fight.

And to be honest I can think of easier ways to make friends on the forums than choosing Ice Phoenix as a Boss Rush champ.

700 Units or more using Revs on Mephisto to take down SS. Fun challenge, but I think I'll pass on the other Titles. Lol.
That fight is all about stun lock... specials cost 50% power so doge the first couple sp2 and fire a sp1 stun lock... gambit, sparky, etc

I'll keep that in mind. Couldn't get him to Bait. I tried. He switched between allowing me to Parry and dodging with an Evade and L3 most of the time. It was brutal. Lol.

GP was another thought I had. I wasn't quitting at the time.

Is there a legends time with this one? Took like 7 minutes. I liked it

An option not everyone might have but is potentially even better is Vision. With high sig you can start the fight with one bar of power which means you do not need cooperation from the AI at the start of the fight. And you don't need to evade his SP2 which not everyone is good at. You can drain SS immediately, and then you just have to stay ahead of his power gain with your own drains, and not dex too much.

Spiderman Stark is very good in this challenge against Quake, Invisible Woman, and SS.

For SS just evade his specials until you can L1 and then just repeat. You can also heavy to drain power, but I didn’t need to.

Waiting on some more 4 star guides please

Waiting on some more 4 star guides please

Sparky and Aa handle the hardest fights as 4*. Plenty do-able, will have to use some revs if you’re not highly skilled but it really isn’t that hard if you pick the right champs. No cash grab fights in there, Sym fight is a little rng’y (made up word) at the start but some decent matchups out there

VanillaCoke

What I liked about Rich, Dave’s, Kam/Star’s, and DNA’s matchups is that they allow you to think outside the box. Because of this, they don’t restrict you on using specific champions like Domino and Sym Supreme.

With Rich’s combination - you can essentially use any champion. He didn’t want you to blow by his King Groot using a strong Mystic champion, but you still can use a mystic champion if you desire.

Dave - you can use any champion as well. In fact, Spite can work in your favor to have Quake throw her special. Just play her like a stun immune champion.

DNA & Kam/Star - you can use any champion as well. In fact, the Kam/Star combo was a very fun treat to end the boss rush.

Domino & Supreme - not fun at all. These node combinations required specific champions, so instead of thinking outside the box - you’re forced to think inside the box. With Domino, you’re forced to use heal block/heal reversal, with the chance that these things can fail because of Domino’s ability. With Supreme, you can barely make a mistake so you have to cheese it with stun lock or have an OG Vision, which again doesn’t open the door for innovative thinking.

Domino does not require you to use heal block/reversal. You could also use any champs that either nullify the regen outright such as SS and hood, or you can use any champion that places a consistently large amount of buffs on the champion with the despair mastery.

With SS you can also bait sp2s, which for me he seemed to throw often, but he was pretty tough.

Who came up with translation of the titles? German translations are a catastrophe. Why on earth would somebody translate Dork (into Depp) which is a name that should not be translated. There the whole reference to the CC gets lost.

KoperBoy

This is nearly impossible for so many people.

And so easy for so many people. Not everyone are at same stage of their summoner path. I remember I couldn't beat Chloe quest back in the day and felt bad about it, but then just accepted the fact and moved on.

How in the world do I beat domino
Here's a list of champs that have effectively beaten Domino as 3*'s or higher that I've seen so far in chats -
Void
Archangel
Sunspot
Human Torch
Mephisto
Voodoo
Proxima Midnight
Beardo (Cap IW)
Guillotine
Mysterio
Sym Supreme
Void is one of the best options being incinerate immune. Same goes for Sunspot. Archangel can shut down and reverse her regen and is immune to AAR, as is Mysterio (he's a designed counter for her). Mephisto will shut down her regen in the beginning with Soul Imprisonment, making the rest of the fight easy, and Voodoo can constantly eat her regen with his L1.

Proxima can complete three missions and then solo her with an L3 (this has been done with both a 3* and 4*), Beardo can land petrifies if you bring a tech champ and then get some solid damage off. Sym can nullify her healing and cause bleed (but be careful of the power gain), and Guilly, if you get lucky, can reverse her regen.

There you go. From the person who helped to design the fight, and has been watching Line chats all day, there is a set list of counters and what to do for each of them.

How is Mysterio a designed counter if Tech champs receive damage and -100% ability accuracy?

It’s only 4K damage and he’s immune to AAR

Thanks, just realized that.

Great question!

Mysterio isn't impacted by AAR (like Archangel) - so he actually goes into this fight with the health loss and nothing else. If you're willing to take that health loss hit (and a higher ranked Mysterio can no problem), it's a relatively easy fight for him with his heal blocking abilities and his ability to more or less shut Domino down entirely.

Brian Grant used Mysterio to great success in his stream yesterday if you're looking for a video.

How in the Kabam miike are you supposed to fight that sym supreme?

can you also get shard from each run?
The Shards can only be awarded once.
How is it fair that sym figth star with 2 and half bar of pover

Stark Spidey, Void, and Doc Ock are the three champs that come to mind who can beat the Sym Supreme. Personally I used Sparky, stun locked with the sp1

I one shot SS with blade with dormamu synergy. Just have to be smart on who to bring for the fight, can’t just take anybody in. This rush was more about using knowledge on how to fight specific champions, rather than just muscling through. Any questions I’ll be glad to help anyone complete it. You can message me through here or in game if you’d like (Geoqui21). Hope everyone can complete it

Soulman300

Why is everyone complaining about the rewards? 5-10 minutes of your time and a 5* crystal. Seems like a better reward compared to the time consumed.

If you hadn’t noticed good sir, the majority of the player base doesn’t have max 5 star champs to blow through this content with little to no problem. So for many this will cost revives, potions, and maybe some units to complete. And after all those resources spent, there is a high chance that they will receive trash from the 10,000 shard crystal

I understand completely, but if it’s going to cost more to get through (meaning revives/potions/units) then don’t do it🤔🤷🏽‍♂️ There’s a balance between spending too much for content and the rewards. The rewards are not worth it unless you can complete it with only a couple revives and health potions. Not every content is for all, some content is for older accounts. We all need a little fun🙃

GroundedWisdom

I used R4 5*s and one R3 5* (AA). You don't need Max 5*s. I had a really hard time with SS, but I also wanted to push through it instead of quit and look at my Roster. Aside from that, it was a fair challenge. Domino took a few tries to get proper RNG, but it was easy enough at the beginning.

I disagree. Did domino with a 4* AA. Did SS with a 4* dormammu. Once you get one sp2 off dormammu beats him down.

TheTalents

I can reassure you if you struggled at all with the Boss challenge it is strictly a roster issue. I did it in 10 minutes on my work break. I did lose a fight and it was surprisingly quake lol. So don't fret, I would just ask Kabam to have two separate difficulties next time so all parties can be satisfied.

GroundedWisdom

.....IF you can get him to Bait. No luck on my end. AI either held Block or used Intercept. Lol. I still agree with the sentiment.

Bugmat78

How in the Kabam miike are you supposed to fight that sym supreme?
I didn't use a power control champ. Took off a lot of health with a 4/55 AA (brought him for Domino) and finished him off with CAIW. If you are aggressive he doesn't throw the SP3 immediately.

This is true - got him down with Aegon using 3 combos when he had his sp3..just went in hard!

Still I do agree with the idea a special boss rush crystal (maybe with the defenders in the Boss Rush and yes that includes KR and TM) might've been nicer (or more special) than just plain old shards, no matter how many they were.

Why can't I find the challenge in my account?
