State of the game - august 2025
It's been a while since I've last posted on the forums, but the most recent dev diary update ( https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/401347/dev-diary-questing-prestige-and-alliance-updates/p1 ) made me feel so uncomfortable with the direction this game is taking that I feel the need to voice my concerns.…

New saga and alliance war
Just asking for a clarification: alliance war season being what it is (sadly) saga champs are generally a priority on offense because they get double the benefits from vigor charges. So what I'm trying to figure out is: alliance war node mentions "saga" champions, not genesis/coda champions. Since a new saga is coming to…

ALLIANCE WAR SEASON 58 ANNOUNCEMENT
Following the livestream, I learned about alliance war season 58 structure with the new map with only 10 defenders and every player in each bg will take 1 of these, with a team of 2 champs allowed. Basically this is absolutely annihilating what's fun about aw because there's 0 planning for this, 0 team effort. Just a guy…

Sentinel has lost defense tactic
Og sentinel has the badge as a saga champion, but has lost the defense tactic tag. So if placed on aw defense now it wont trigger defense tactic. Since it previously had the tag and it got the deathless saga badge, I believe this is in fact a bug. I would like to know whether or not the champion's tag will be restored for…

Alliance war season and banquet event
So I heard from the livestream that you have to be part of an alliance for at least 14 days to take part in the banquet event. And thats alright, like previous years. My concern is about the dates. So basically alliance war season is ending on december 18th. Banquet event is starting on december 20th. If a person needs to…

New season, new global, old problems: xmagica/magic thief bad design and broken node
Hi, so once again I have to come to this forum to complain about alliance war globals. Back when last global was introduced, after some testing, I made a long forum post about the nodes being unbalanced and the tactics being borderline unplayable (especially some defenders). I explained long and hard why the attack tactic…

Alliance war new globals make it borderline unplayable
As the title says, there are a few issues that I'm going to bring up in this post. For starters, I want to clarify that we play in tier 1, so every aspect of the nodes that I will bring up concerns the version of the nodes that is present in tier 1. I watched videos from tier 3 and given the different structure of the…

Aw bug: taking down the boss doesn't remove the global defense tactic?
Like the title says. I don't think this is intended. This is what the boss node says. The boss is now down My alliance mate takes on sasq with boss down to test out if the global is down or not: As you can see from the screenshots, the defense tactic is still active as he gets placebo buffs from the global and the defender…

Level up solo event missing. Iso and catalyst expiring soon
Like the title says. I planned on using my resources for the level up solo event but it disappeared. Same also happened to incursions btw.

Wrong aw boss node?
Hi so we had an issue with boss node in aw today. The boss node has steady build up unblockable. But this node was removed in season 40: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/326719/alliance-war-season-40-changelog#latest. This is the season 40 changelog where opportunist is announced to replace steady…

Kabam why did you make this solo event?
I play map 8 and tier 1 aw. I can't just bring random champs to aq or aw. Bringing the wrong counter to an aw fight may result in deaths. Deaths may result in losing the war and hurting my teammates and my alliance as a whole. Aq is different since dying doesn't mean losing points. But it means losing items. In map 8 each…

Linking apple id from game center to a kabam id
Hi, so an alliance mate of mine has this issue. He has an Apple device and would like to switch to an android device. Currently, he doesn't have a kabam id linked to his account. He only uses game center to log in. He tried to contact kabam support, but he can't recall the date of creation for his account, so he keeps…

Valkyrie is bugged
So our alliance used valkyrie for a few fights this war to counter unstoppable (as it is expected from her kit). Unfortunately, the new update brought a bug on valk. Now she fails to counter unstoppable in some instances. We had troubles on path 5 ebb and flow knock down fury with unstoppable heavy (she got repelled by the…

Champs star levels and efficiency of their abilities
So after this week of aq with 7 stars, I noticed that herc's infuriate doesn't really work as it usually does. Defenders don't dash in as frequently and they keep holding their specials forever (which resulted in me eating sp3 a couple times). As I observed this, I'm now wondering if the fact that my herc is 6 star and the…

Alliance war prowess power defense global
The new defense global was unplayable when it first came out. So it was adjusted to limit the power gain from the prowess effects. This is a welcome change, as, like I said, we all realized it was unplayable like it was before. The issue now that it was nerfed is that the power gain has become irrelevant. I tested it out…

Arena express bug!
I have the summoner sigil and I was happy about the new arena express feature which helps speed up a bit the tiresome process of grinding the arena. There's just one problem: the feature is bugged. It doesn't give you all the battle chips you should earn. In the featured arena you gain 60 battle chips per match won. That…

Battlegrounds + arena bugged
Battlegrounds: If you try to start a bg, it takes forever to find a match. Sometimes it goes on for minutes without a match, then you just don't play. Some other times it finds the match, but the game freezes without letting you do the bans etc and you never even play. You force close the app and when you restart it you…

DEBUFF DETOX BROKEN
The new attacker tactic debuff detox is broken. I'm in tier 1. The description of the node says that if you stack up 6 stacks of cleanse charges, you should go debuff immune for 5 seconds. What happens instead when you have 5 charges and you either parry/block/dex, reaching 6, is that you just lose them all without any…

Input issues after today's update
I just updated the game and all of a sudden I've lost control of the swipe input... I have trouble dashing back and forward so sometimes I don't dex and sometimes I want to do mediums but end up with light attacks instead... it's pretty bad... it's not an issue with timing, it's more like the controls are less responsive…

AW RATING IS NOT FROZEN OFF SEASON. TIER 1
As the title says, there's a bug showing aw rating variations for the current off season war. And we're in tier 1, so the aw rating should be frozen off season. Not sure if this is just a visual bug or if this is going to actually alter our aw rating. If our aw rating is subject to variations off season that's gonna affect…

OMEGA SENTINEL BUGGED WITH NEW UPDATE
Omega sentinel is now bugged. When dexing with 10 armors, you trigger her autoblock ability and lose all armor up buffs, applying a plasma/incinerate debuff on the opponent. Happened to me against apoc, happened to an alliance mate against havok. We almost gave away a death to this bug. It also triggers when parrying…

Banquet crystals and r4 materials
Yesterday I opened several banquet crystals. In said crystals I found a lot of t6 basic catalyst fragments, including an entire t6b. The issue I have is that I found exactly 0 tier 3 alpha catalyst fragments. So now I find myself with an excess of tier 6 basics... Is there going to be a way to trade something? Because as…

Omega sentinel bug when you special intercept
This bug occurs when using omega sentinel as an attacker. If you try to intercept the opponent with your special attack and you have 10 armor up buffs, when you make contact with the opponent, autoblock triggers and it consumes all of your armor up buffs. This bug is especially nasty when fighting against havok, as it just…

Human Torch bug in aw vs global node conduit
This bug happens when using human torch vs a global defender with the global defense tactic conduit: if you are using torch without his prefight, you experience a game freeze and you have to restart the game. The fight works fine if you fight using his nova flame prefight. I believe this should be fixed before next season…

CONDUIT GLOBAL NODE: DISAPPEARED?
This post is about the new global node conduit. I play in tier 2 right now and I was under the impression that conduit was fixed and these couple wars were considered off season wars and they were there for us to finally test the new global node conduit. But there is no conduit. Let me clarify: conduit was introduced for…

New defense tactic conduit: is it working as intended?
First of all, I believe there is a mistake in the description of the global node on the forum: Defence - Conduit 3: Conduit Defenders Regenerate 80% of energy Damage taken from Hits. While under the effect of a Coldsnap, Shock, Plasma, or Incinerate effect, they Regenerate 60% of any damage taken. Conduit Defenders cannot…

Update brought a ton of problems
First of all, I updated the game yesterday. So did some of my alliance mates. That caused us to experience a lot of connection issues. The game is hard to play because of the constant disconnect signal. Doing the last run of the side quest to beat dormammu took me around 20 mins in which I had to restart the app twice.…
