Forum Layout Messed Up Again?
The forums seem to have reverted to the default layout again like it did a while back, at least for me. Thankfully no flashbanging this time, but I still dislike this formatting. Not seeing any other posts on the topic, is this just a me problem?

Yondu is kinda heat now
R4 unascended 6* Yondu, no boosts, synergies, or relic. Sub minute for 550k damage is not bad at all. The Ruptures being a 100% chance to trigger instead of the old 40% chance for Bleed is a massively understated buff to both his damage, power control, and utility, you can very easily maintain around 5 Ruptures. Being able…

Doombots’ Max Power is only 2 bars
For whatever reason, the playable Doombots can only build to a max of 2 bars of power. For a r3 2*, they should be able to build up to 3 bars, even if they don’t actually have a sp3 they can throw. Note that Henchpools similarly lack a sp3, but they can still build 3 bars. The weirder part is that if you fight the Doombots…

Anyone know what happened with this BG match? (Not a cheating post)
So just finished up a BGs round and came across this weird result. I defeat the defender, go to the results screen, only to see that my opponent has already finished their match… without either champion dying. Never seen this happen before and I have no idea how this could happen unless I’m missing some weird edge case…

A personal milestone: All Special Quests 100% explored
I’m not usually one for these type of brag posts, but I’m making an exception here. Let me have this one. I remember the days of thinking I could never hope to touch Everest content like Abyss, and now I’ve successfully conquered it and so much more. About the only thing I need to do to actually 100% complete all single…

Extremely niche Purgatory cheese
Was working through Abyss exploration and came across this funny interaction. If you have the tech soul cross-fight and you’re up against a fight with some sort of weak power loss over time effect, you can build up to 3 bars of power at which point Purgatory’s passive power gain and the power loss effect will constantly…

Clean Slate (incursions) node purifies Leader’s severe debuffs
Pretty simple bug. The Clean Slate (incursions) node states that it Purifies all debuffs off of the defender, yet it still removes Leader’s severe debuffs despite the fact that they cannot be Purified.

Is it time to expand the GC tiers?
There’s been a lot of (deserved) discussion about the GC tiering rewards needing to be buffed. That’s certainly true, and Kabam has at least paid lip service to that need. However, while we’re looking at shaking up the rewards, I was wondering if there might be value in making the tiers themselves larger as well, more…

War tactic applied to incorrect tag
The new war tactic and map seem to be live, but the defense tactic appears to be applying to the #Coda pool instead of the #Genesis pool (see attached screenshot, where the icons show the #Coda Wags benefitting from the tactic but not the #Genesis Maestro). Probably should get that fixed before the first war tomorrow.

Completing the 10 year challenge run… on the right side of Necro: a writeup
What do you do when a bunch of Carina’s challenges for Necro drop but you only have one path on the much more difficult right side of Necro left for full exploration? You just do the challenge run on the missing path. Here’s a writeup of my 10 year challenge run on path 4 of the Necropolis (Jubilee/Stryfe). The squad: Wong…

New war tactic/saga pool in the latest update
#Genesis (skill and cosmic, defender pool): (Also includes Super-Skrull, I just didn’t want to add an extra screenshot for the one champ). #Coda (mystic and mutant, attacker pool): These will presumably be the saga champs for the new saga that starts next month.

Is 7* Ultron worth an awakening gem?
I got a tech awakening gem from Necro Carina’s challenges a while back and I’d been sitting on it trying to decide if Arcade’s dupe was high-value enough to be worth it until I remembered I have this guy. I don’t hear a lot about Ultron these days, even as a 6*, so I’m wondering if anyone has any thoughts on him. Do you…

Medium intercepts are extremely unreliable in latest update
From this month’s patch notes: “Fixed an issue where attackers were sometimes ‘losing’ intercepts between their Medium Attacks and the Defender’s on 60fps”. Apparently the fix was to make sure that medium intercepts always lose instead of sometimes because I have been losing a lot of intercepts that would have been clean…

Maestro’s energy penetration still doesn’t work
This month’s patch notes state that Maestro’s energy penetration should now be working properly. Well… Mission failed, we’ll get them next time. Hopefully anyways.

Still no rebalancing info for Northstar and Arcade
C’mon Kabam, I wouldn’t even be mad if you came out and said that you guys didn’t have time over the holidays to finish the buffs and had to push them back to February or something, but just tell us what’s going on. You obviously heard people asking about the buff info since you added a note about Sable’s buff in the…

Who to use 7* sig stones on.
Have a bunch of generic 7* sig stones expiring (I’m stingy with them and got a bunch recently from the 10-year challenge) and I unfortunately don’t have any dupes that would make this an easy decision for me, so I’m just gonna ask the forums for their opinion on this one. I’ve got nearly 60 in overflow, so if you think I…

Sentry’s exhaustion debuffs aren’t counting as exhaustions
Basically the title. Sentry inflicts exhaustion debuffs while landing attacks in his base form, but they don’t seem to actually count as an exhaustion effect for nodes and abilities that look for them. Screenshots from the Thronebreaker EQ. The node give science attackers a chance to inflict fragility debuffs if the…

Are there Necro Knull counters that can handle multiple fights?
I recently did my first right side run of Necropolis. Far from perfect but I was happy enough with how it went, except for Knull. Couldn’t afford a team slot for a counter and went in with 7* r1 Chavez hoping she’d do good enough, and he was almost a quarter of my total revive usage in the run (9/40). I’d like to avoid…

Deathless She-Hulk dupe timing?
Can we get any word about when we’ll get 7* Deathless She-hulk’s dupe? For the other Deathless we got them for using said Deathless champ against one of the season of suffering bosses for a unique objective, but for She-hulk we’ve only got two more bosses left before the gauntlet and we’re still missing two pieces. The…

Last Necropolis path planning help
First of all, thanks to those who have responded to my other Necro help posts. I finished up my 5th path several days ago, which leaves me with one final path to complete for full exploration, path 4 (Jubilee/Stryfe). With the news of 7* Maestro’s dupe being available soon, I’m more encouraged than ever to get this done (I…

Leader’s Green door size severely reduced in latest update
The size of the Leader’s green door on the arena appears to have been harshly reduced in the latest update. I don’t happen to have a photo of my own of what the green door looked like before the update so here’s a screengrab from the deep dive: You can see that Leader has no problem fitting both himself and his opponent…

Maestro’s energy penetration passive has been nonfunctional for at least 2 months
Made a post about this 2 months ago in the bugs section to be met with basically no acknowledgement and the issue has not been resolved, so I guess I gotta post this in general and hope it gets more traction here. Maestro’s energy penetration passive literally does nothing currently. It has no effect. The effect’s…

Sandman’s special 2 whiffs mid-attack
As of the latest update, there seems to be a hitbox issue causing one of the hits of Sandman’s sp2 to whiff, giving the opponent the chance to block the rest of the special. It’s specifically the hit wherein he rises up from the ground, shown here: However, it also seems like this is a champ-specific issue and the attack…

Playable Henchpools are pure trophy champs
The playable Henchpools have identical abilities to their NPC counterparts and do not have inflated stats like the Summoned Symbiote. I wasn’t expecting Kabam to give them meta-relevant overhauls or anything, that’d be a lot of work, but I am disappointed that since they have regular 2* stats I can’t even really take them…

“Enhanced power gain” node bug?
I was doing the AW Showcase and brought in Leader to deal with Chavez (and Mojo). However, when I was using him against Chavez I found that she was gaining power from MD despite having 5+ withers which should shut it down, and only once I hit the max of 10 did she gain no power instead of having her power gain reversed.…

Reparry fix supposedly coming in next update
Patch notes here: https://playcontestofchampions.com/news/v47-0-release-notes/ Also mentions of purify/cleanse fixes for Dust and friends, Idoom fix against Bishop, and full buff notes for Purgatory/Medusa.

Toad triggering sig ability stun with heavy attacks
I thought this bug had been fixed a while ago but either it’s resurfaced or it was never actually fixed. Toad’s awakening ability causes him to trigger a passive stun when he has 10 prowesses and the opponent triggers an immunity to poison, consuming the prowesses. However, he is also triggering this ability when consuming…

3rd Necro Path Team Advice
So I’ve got some revives expiring soon and nothing really to use them on besides a potential necro run (they’re gonna expire before the SOS gauntlet comes out, and I can farm back up before then), so I’m looking for some advice on what sorta squad I can put together to get a run done. I’ve done the two “easy” paths…

Following the Leader: the good, the bad, and what can be better
Brief foreword: all of the following fight images were taken in the latest update, in which the Leader’s green door is bugged and significantly smaller than it should be. Leader should be a bit better and easier once it’s fixed, but I’m not quite sure by how much. Take the images with just a bit of salt. Also, lots of…

This month’s Paragon gauntlet objective doesn’t require saga champs?
This month’s paragon gauntlet objective does not require you to use saga-tagged champions like basically all the previous ones have; it just asks you to not use the choice nodes. I wanted to get an official confirmation if possible if this was intentional or if this is a text error, because that definitely changes the…
