Immortal Iron Fist is amazing with Synergies
I pulled 6* Immortal Iron Fist a while ago and recently decided to rank him up and ascend him for funsies just to see what he could actually do. To my utter surprise, he's a real powerhouse with a few synergies. He's got almost nothing going for him in terms of utility, but just in terms of raw damage? He took down Realm…

Okay, I'm starting to appreciate Dazzler
I took on a Kingpin in Alliance War and was surprised when he just...dropped. My SP2 didn't even get to finish before he was down. I don't really expect a huge challenge when taking on a 6* with a 7r3 champion - especially not when it's easy to build up force charges - but an 8 million health crit is still absolutely…

10K 6* shards for beating the Raids boss?
My alliance is usually not big on doing Raids so we haven't actually beaten the final boss (regular difficulty) before. However, we finally managed to do so now and I got...this from it. How is this the reward for beating the final boss? No matter what kind of RNG I've had when I've beaten the regular defenders leading up…

How do you fight Dazzler?
I'm trying to do the WoF but after an easy solo against Gorr (thank you, R4 Count Nefaria), I'm just stuck on Dazzler. I don't have any real problems with the nodes themselves - my America Chavez seems to be keeping the power gain under control just fine - but I'm just struggling with fighting Dazzler herself. The problem…

Possible Bug in AW
I brought OG Iron Man to an AW fight with Enchantress. The Big Thing Challenge - Buff Safety node says that the way to gain Force Charges is to either be immune to nullify (5 charges) or to buffs (1 charge). Iron Man is immune to nullify when it comes to his personal armor up buffs, but not others. Despite this, I don't…

This is why Adam Warlock doesn't fit an AoA objective this week
Whenever I've completed the objectives for any of these seasonal fights of pain and woe, I always try to go back in with a few other champions to see which ones work well ahead of the upcoming gauntlet. I had a sneaking suspicion that Adam Warlock would work great, but I wasn't prepared for exactly how amazing he'd be for…

Sig 200 Adam Warlock is an Endgame Cheat Code
Adam Warlock has been one of my favorite champions in the game ever since I pulled the 6* version last year. I immediately took him up to rank 5, only to then pull and dupe him in quick succession during that year's Banquet event. Well, up went the 7*. The only thing that I was missing from my 6* version was that he was at…

Sig scaling needs to be more transparent for awakened champions
One thing that's been bothering me more and more for a while is that, while the values that a champion's signature ability scales between are perfectly visible while they are unawakened, that transparency goes out the door as soon as you awaken them. Suddenly you're stuck with your current value, with no way to see where…

MCOC is coming to PC!
I just received this in the mail a little while ago. My wifi has decided that this is a good day to be super slow so I haven't had the chance to test the beta yet, but I'll update with my thoughts when I have. I was a little apprehensive about making this post since I figured it'd be a fun surprise next livestream, but I…

Testing Attuma In Necropolis on the PC Beta
I decided to KO two birds with one stone by testing out Attuma in Necropolis while learning the PC controls. I've been waiting to test out his ability accuracy reversal somewhere but haven't found a good spot yet, but then I remembered that the Titania path in Necropolis has a node that says that your debuff ability…

Sandman goes to r3!
I've been loving this dude for quite a while now. He's not the fastest champion in the game but I've found him immensely useful in a lot of non-Battlegrounds areas of the game, especially for quite a few of the Summer of Sorrow-type fights. His ability to control regen, power gain, evade and unstoppable, as well as a ton…

Venompool has bleeds for days, y'all
I r3'd my Venompool right after exploring the Crucible and getting that 2-3 gem. I took him into Battlegrounds last season and had a lot of fun, but one thing I noticed was that his bleed from his SP3 was ticking something fierce. I feel like a lot of people have said that Venompool is a ramp-up champion (which is…

James Spader is returning as Ultron in upcoming Vision Disney+ series
This isn't MCOC related but I assume that it's okay to post general Marvel news here as well. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Spader is returning to voice Ultron in the upcoming Vision series that is set to start filming next year. The article doesn't say much more than that, though. However, since I'm a huge fan of…

In defense of Adam Warlock's awakened ability
I feel like Adam Warlock's signature ability is often pretty overlooked. Yeah, he gets some regen and yeah, he can stun opponents if they hit into his Stasis Pod, but when is that truly needed? Well, it's extremely handy if you run the recoil masteries. Healing back more health than you lose is an extremely potent ability.…

FAM can solo every boss in the Paragauntlet
I wasn't sure who I should bring into the Paragon Gauntlet, but eventually landed on a team consisting of CGR, Bullseye and Future Ant-Man. However, it turned out that I didn't need to ever use either CGR or Bullseye since Future Ant-Man bossed his way through the entire gauntlet all by his lonesome. I didn't go in with…

Can 7* Corvus DOMINATE Weapon X in BG?
No. No, he can't. Jesus Christ what a slog that fight was.

Testing White Tiger's healing
I recently ranked up my White Tiger and one thing that really impressed me in a recent fight was her healing. When she launches her SP2, she places a bleed on the opponent which also prevents them from healing for its duration. Additionally, all of that prevented regen is transferred to you (up to 5% of Max Health per…

Vox is amazing vs Knull in the SQ
I saw that Knull has the Stacking Power node which makes you unable to gain power through normal means and instead gain 20% of a bar of power every time you gain buffs. Well, Vox gains a ton of buffs. In fact, he gains so many freaking buffs that he cheeses the entire fight as soon as he gets to his first SP3. Just…

Quick Gladiator's Circuit PSA: Spidey Supreme is amazing there!
I really don't know how to fight Onslaught so when he showed up on defense, I panicked slightly and chose Spider-Man Supreme since I figured he was my best option. Turns out, he was an amazing option. I still don't know how to dex Onslaught's specials yet so I ended up taking a bit of damage, but Spidey nuked him down in…

A Delicious 8.4 Cheese Platter
I figured I could share some of the cheesiest paths and fights I've found in 8.4. First up: Miles Morales cheeses through the 8.4.1 path that starts with Gambit (and is great for the America Chavez boss as well). What makes this path tricky is that all specials are unblockable all the time. Luckily, Miles just...doesn't…

Who are you using your 7* sig stones on?
I had initially decided that I would save my sig stones for Deathless King Groot when I awaken him since the chances of duping him naturally would be pretty much nonexistent, but then I realized that the chances of duping this gent was also pretty much nonexistent - and he's one of the 7* champs whose sig ability I really…

Spider Supreme takes down WoW Aegon in 20 seconds
So, anyone else having fun in the Winter of Woe gauntlet? I beat it yesterday and went in today to try out some new champions. First on the list was Spidey Supreme. I knew that Spidey could copy all of Aegon's fury buffs so I was curious how hard he would hit. You do need to intercept Aegon once first so that you can…

So this bad boy is in the basic pool now?
I opened a daily crystal, got a 6* crystal, opened it and got this fine gentleman. What surprised me is that I didn't think he was in the basic pool. Isn't he supposed to only be able to be pulled from those dupe crystals?

How does the 2h timer work in Showcase
I went into Showcase with a team and got absolutely demolished by the time I reached Red Skull. As it stands, I have 90 minutes to go before the timer runs out. What does that mean, exactly? Can I exit out, grab a new team and go in again, and get a new 2h timer? Or am I locked into this quest now and have to explore it…

Don't sleep on Spidey Supreme
After I was done with the objectives for the current round of WoW, I decided to try out some non-objective attackers against Hulkling. The one it undoubtably went best with was Spidey Supreme. I've always had a soft spot for him and if it wasn't for me shifting a lot of my focus to 7*s lately, I'd probably taken my 6* up…

Who were the content creators behind today's IWD challenges?
I saw the IWD challenges today, thought they looked fun and decided to knock them out rather quickly. It wasn't until I was on Allison Edit's challenge that I realized that there must be content creators behind them, but by that point, I had completely missed who designed the other challenges. Anyone have a list of who…

I took Adam Warlock for a spin vs WoW Nebula
Now that I have the objectives done, I've been trying out different champions to see which ones work against Nebula. One of the best ones I've found is Adam Warlock. He absolutely smashes the fight since he's almost constantly unblockable. There are some lulls in the fight when the Sovereignty counter ends and takes his…

Finally got it done before Week 2 of Winter of Woe
With so much happening in the game, I've been stressing about getting Necropolis done so that my resources don't have to be split between different challenges. Now I finally got it done. 100% explored, baby! The first half was rough, not gonna lie, but the second half of the path went amazing. My best run by far. I was…

Raid boost works in Arena
I chose the Null Break boost for my Doom in Raids, and then found that it applies to all of my Tactician champs in Arena. I got some terrible match-ups to actually demonstrate it since Spidey 2099 is immune to the placebo buffs in the first place and Galan is immune to my attempts to nullify them, but it should be clear…

Vox is a great Maestro counter
Ever since Necropolis was released, it seems like everyone I meet in Battlegrounds has a really annoying Maestro ranked up. And I get it, he's annoying to fight. Mine's ranked up too. However, ever since then, I've been trying to figure out good counters for him. One of the best ones I've found is Vox. Since Vox's…
