  • I agree with you that some sort of permanent content would be ideal for really really hard content. While being pretty fun in this boss of the week style thing, the summer of pain just hasn’t been a challenge really (so far, might change my mind in the last few weeks) and every fight has been solos so far. I’d be happy if…
  • I really want a 6* Archangel but I can’t really complain haha. Will probably take up 6* Bishop soon too since I like what I’ve seen so far of him!
  • I take that fight pretty often in war with Ghost. Stick a power boost and a tech power back boost and the fight is over very quickly. Can put an indestructible boost if you're not feeling confident but it's not really needed at all. Have taken multiple rank 3 Havok's there with her and never had a problem
  • I'd check out this guide by my mate @BitterSteel. He really breaks it down quite well and he's done some awesome stuff with his Professor X! https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/256739/professor-x-in-depth-how-to-use-guide#latest
  • Copy and pasted from the guide I wrote for 7.2 a while ago. I basically broke down each phase with some little tips: To master this fight, you need to have an understanding of each of her phases and what you need to do. Additionally, she has a timer which you have to complete the tasks before she gets to her sp2 and nukes…
  • You can check out the guide I wrote if you’re interested, I cover all the paths and some of the notable champs. https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/265624/7-2-exploration-guide In terms of hardest paths, I’d say there isn’t really anything insanely difficult if you bring the right counters but there is…
  • Awesome, I hope it goes well for you!
  • Not a stupid question at all! You need to beat each boss at least once for exploration and then you can pick what bosses you want to do out of the three for the last 3 times. I put the amount I took each boss next to the boss (for example there’s a x4 next to the Punisher 2099 boss and only x1 for the others). Best of luck!
  • I didn’t realise this thread was even active. I’ve written a 7.2 exploration guide if anyone is interested in checking out! https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/265624/7-2-exploration-guide
  • @Fear_of_Clowns2099 thank you, I appreciate that! Even if only a few people can find some use in my guide, then I’m happy :)
  • 7.2.6 1. No Retreat, No Surrender!, Heavy Assault, Right Back At It, True Strike Champs that worked well: Wasp, Doom Thoughts on the path: You get 500% increased attack while using specials which makes champs like Wasp hit insanely hard. They do get a debuff immunity temporarily after you knock them down, but this is where…
  • 7.2.5 1. Superiority: Scoundrel (#Villain), Backhanded Compliment, Surging Vengeance, Tyranny Champs that worked well: Magneto, Doom, Red Hulk, Thoughts on the path: This path has surging vengeance which makes the defender throw their specials in order up to sp3 and repeat. You don’t want them to ever throw a sp3 because…
  • 7.2.4 1. Slumber, Flare, Particle Protector, Size Matters Champs that worked well: IHulk, Warlock, Hyperion, Apocalypse Thoughts on the path: Slumber and flare is a fun time together. Any extra large and large champs works great for this path but ideally have champs with class advantage to minimize health loss from flare.…
  • 7.2.3 1. Buffet, Heal Reversal, Safeguard, Aspect of War Champs that worked well: Ghost, Warlock, Magneto Thoughts on the path: At a glance this seemed like an awful path but in reality, it’s actually pretty fun! So safeguard means you can’t burst them down with big damage but buffet and heal reversal work very well…
  • 7.2.2 1. Superiority: Top Dog (Class Advantage), Outburst, Power Snack, Hard Knock Life Champs that worked well: Ghost, Angela Thoughts on the path: Outburst gives you nullify immunity when you get a buff nullified so it basically counters power snack so you don’t need to worry about it really. Hard knock life lowers your…
  • Damn that mythic title is a beauty!
  • Thronebreaker was intended for top level players with multiple rank 3 champs to distinguish them from cavaliers who are miles apart in progress, so the rank 3 requirement stops any of the intended targets from being left out. A lot of us explored act 6 in the pre nerf state when it was actually challenging, if you're…
  • Corvus was the latest one, super happy with that! I’m thinking of taking Wasp next as more of a fun rank up
  • Why not Killmonger and Colossus? Unless you specifically want to pair them together, but in that case I'd still put Colossus as the priority rank up and then think about Killmonger and Sabretooth afterwards
  • Definitely worth ranking even without the synergies imo! He's a brilliant stubborn war defender at the minimum, but offensively he has lots of cool utility like bleed and shock immunity, armour break immunity, nullify immunity, can nullify unstoppable, can place staggers, protection to tank damage and even dot effects, has…
  • @HI_guys There may be more that I'm forgetting but Morningstar, Ghost Rider, Dormammu and Mephisto are the solos I can remember!
  • I've done exploration and feel rather than the fights themselves, what I really enjoyed was the satisfaction from spending lots of time preparing and planning for each path and actually going through the paths and seeing that time preparing was well spent. It's such a great feeling of accomplishment! Some fights were awful…
  • With suicides and even without I'd say Magik. Probably not worth dumping your sigs into unless you want her in defence, as her limbo coincides with her specials regardless and you'll recover the recoil damage after limbo ends. With full suicides though, she does still lose some health from recoil because of the poison…
  • I've got her as a rank 3 6* and she keeps impressing me the more I use her. She's got some great unique utility with her regen on block, slow debuff, armour breaks, power steal, nullify, energy damage etc... that makes her a very solid option in a lot of annoying fights and keeps her versatile. I definitely would recommend…
  • Damn I forgot I even made this thread haha, nice to see how much the game has changed since
  • I mean the thread is literally called show off your r3s and the original poster made it clear what it's about. What were you expecting haha
  • Not too far off from forming a cosmic t5cc for Corvus, and have a science and mystic t5cc just waiting for a suitable champ. I'm pretty happy with my rank 3's!
  • @pseudosane great pointers there! Sorry to hear about your rewards though :( I especially agree with using the coward timer and also farming potions. Farming potions saved me so many revives and was a big help in soloing 5.7mill hp fights with Human Torch.
  • @_TermiN8than_ No problem man, really glad I'm able to help! Sorry if I wasn't clear but I haven't written a completion guide since I done my completion early this year and didn't track anything. From what I remember though, I used a team of Aegon, Human Torch, Symbiote Supreme, Nick Fury and Quake (for synergy) and this…
