Another tale of woe from the Contest of Champions
Summoner: Okay guys, there's no AQ, there's no AW, its time to start wrapping up Uncollected. Today we're going after the Adaptoid. Are we ready?
Blade: Wh? What? Don't hit into block!
Summoner: Relax Blade. I just need you to get us to the Adaptoid. After that, you're done. Magik? You're first up on the Adaptoid.
Magik: He won't know what hit him.
Summoner: Just be careful. I want him taken down nice and neat.
...
Blade: All done. Adaptoid's all yours.
Summoner: Okay Magik, do your thing.
Magik: Check this out. Whoops, he missed. Whoops, he missed again. I bet you regret stealing your animations from Iron Man's reject pile, huh Adaptoid. Wait for it, wait for it, and SP3 ka - boom! Oh did that hurt? That looked like it hurt. Whoosh, smack smack smack. Whoosh, swing and a miss Adaptoid. Lookie lookie, three bars of power. Say hellow to my little friend ... and ba-boom! Adaptoid you're going down. Whoosh missed again. Almost three bars of power again Adaptoid, whoosh missed ag...
Summoner: Err, what happened there Magik?
Magik: He used two specials in a row! That's cheating!
Summoner: Three bars, two specials. I don't use you in AQ, do I?
Magik: What does that have to do with anything?
Summoner: Nothing. Go ask Rogue about Sentinels in AQ. Just stand several feet back when you do.
Captain America IW: Sir. I can finish him off.
Summoner: Go ahead Cap, take your best shot.
Captain America IW: No problem. I hit right through unstoppable, and I saw that dirty trick he played with the two specials. I won't fall for that.
Summoner: That's the spirit. Take him down.
...
Summoner: Cap?
Captain America IW: Yep. I'm not dead, I'm still going.
Summoner: Yes, I know, but its been over ten minutes now.
Captain America IW: He hasn't hit me yet.
Summoner: Yeah, but he has full health again.
Captain America IW: I noticed that.
Summoner: You actually managed to go backwards.
Captain America IW: Its the heal. I can't seem to hit him faster than the heal and also evade all those specials.
Summoner: I think you need more practice leveraging your debuffs.
Captain America IW: *I* need practice?
Summoner: Let's not start pointing fingers. Just die already and we can swap someone else in there.
Magik: You still have revives, hint hint.
Summoner: No, let's give Ronan a shot. He's been begging to get into one of these teams. Ronan? Time to get off the bench and suit up. Go get that Adaptoid.
Ronan: Me? Really? Alrighty then. Let's do this. Whoa, evade. Whoa, evade. Now to land that SP1 and stun. Holy **** look at that stun. Smack, smack, smack, SP1 whammo stun. Heh, this is great! Hit hit hit hit stun! Yo, Adaptoid, who's your daddy? I'm sorry, I can't hear you, what was that? Oh you want more of this? No problem, wham stun! Hey guys check it out, underhand hammer, swing and stun! Light, medium, heavy, and stun! Check it out I'm going to take a selfie with Adaptoid: click. And ... stun!
Summoner: Well I'll be damned. This is certainly easy mode. I kinda wish you did more damage though.
Ronan: Who needs damage when you have THIS BIG HAMMER! Besides, his health is going down. Kinda helps I don't have to evade specials. Or light attacks, or medium attacks, or anything else. Boom goes the hammer, and boom goes that statue of the Adaptoid I'm using as a punching bag. Now who's the number one stud, huh Magik?
Summoner: Yeah, that's great. But could you maybe pick up the pace a bit?
Ronan: Oh, don't worry, he's going down. Look at that, he's down to unblockable. Oh, wait, he can't be unblockable if he can't attack. Loo-zah! Who's the master? Yo, Adaptoid; who's the master!
Summoner: Uh, Ronan, I just realized something. Cap spent way too long on this earlier.
Ronan: I got this, don't worry! Hey Adaptoid, I'm talking to you. When I say "who's the master?" you say "Ro-nan." Now: who's the ma-

Finished ROL finally having been staying away from it considering the boring long fights. Got 4 star Ronan, used cosmic awakening gem and few stones. Took him to R4. Blade and co took care till adaptoid. Ronan one shotted both adaptoid as well as the red skull. No revives used. Finally the patience pays off, just like against uncollected Thanos that I did.
Pro-tip 1: when using Ronan, it is probably best to rank him up to 5/50 or its going to be a very long slog.
Pro-tip 2: if you're running the Uncollected Adaptoid map and its going to be a long slog, don't start within an hour of scheduled maintenance.
Pro-tip 3: If you're not going to get the kill before scheduled maintenance starts, consider suicide *before* he reaches 25%.
Pro-tip 4: Energy refills are cheaper than revives.
Well done. The part about adding sig stones is important: not everyone knows that the stun scales with sig level. With just an awakening stone, I believe the 4* Ronan's stun isn't quite long enough to be consistently safely perma. I think that's why some players have reported having the stun break while trying this strategy.
I don’t have issues with stun time using a 5* R3 lvl20 versus UC Adaptoid or RedSkull, even though I could achieve greater stun time with a 4* R5 lvl99
Thankyou for appreciating. And yes it is the signature ability of Ronan that is important and that is what keeps on increasing the stun duration. My Ronan is signed 29 4 star R4 and works just fine on uncollected. I don't think there is necessity to R5 him just yet. I took down adaptoid in 162,150,132,140 hits. Only 1 more path is remaining. Red skull was about 108 hits. So it's just working fine for me at the moment.

That's plenty. But I think at sig 1 it is only 0.2 seconds per buff and that's more than one second less against the Adaptoid. I think that's where it gets dicey.
I don't have the patience. Used a 3*. That was long enough. 😂
