Marvel Contest of Champions

NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS

Event Quest - Change The Record
Since their own "Web of Fate" seems to be working out, Miles, Peter, and Gwen invite other Spider-People to join The Contest. SPIDER-PUNK eagerly agrees however, he does not travel to The Battlerealm alone. Another Hobie Brown, this one calling themselves PROWLER, is ripped into this universe along with him. Is The Contest ready for a double dose of Hobie? Or will this concert of Spiders turn into a multiversal mosh-pit? Find out in CHANGE THE RECORD.

Act 8 Chapter 4
With the defeat of Cerastes, Carina and company uncover the full breadth of Ouroboros's devious plot - inciting a Battlerealm-wide war! With this new information the heroes race back to Carina's Council in the hopes of stopping Ouroboros and Glykhan once and for all. But is there light at the end of this tunnel of terrors? Or is this a flame which will consume The Contest? Find out in Act 8 - Chapter 4: DARKEST DAWN.

Winter of Woe
The culmination of your pain and WOE will occur this month, where you will be tasked with dealing with all 4 of the previous fights plus 2 NEW FIGHTS in not one but two painful paths! Fret not though, as you will have the entire month to deal with this heroic task. Be warned however, that these encounters are not for the faint of heart, and will cause you to be overcome with WOE. To further increase the trials set before you, this month-long quest will feature not 2, not 3, but 4 Solo Objectives for you to try to overcome!


NEW CHAMPIONS

King Groot (Deathless)
In years past, Champions from the Death Realm staged an assault on The Battlerealm. Empowered by the Death Stone, Thanos created Nameless, empty versions of the heroes of the Battlerealm. Of these Nameless Champions, a select few were granted malicious will and elevated to become the Deathless, to lead his armies and sow chaos and destruction. King Groot was the second Deathless he created. Rising from the undergrowth of a barren alien forest, the Deathless master of ash conquers all!


NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

Mastery Loadout Pages
You can now save out multiple Mastery setups and easily swap between them! Set up to three different Mastery Loadouts, and switch between them whenever you would like for a flat 35 Unit cost.

Alliance War Defense Default
Select one of your Mastery Loadout Pages as your Alliance War Defense Default, and it will use that Mastery setup instead of your currently active one when placing your Alliance War Defenders. The Alliance War Defense Default selection has no cost. This will launch later in the month after the current Alliance War Season has ended.

Alliance War Updates
Updates to the Alliance War Persistent Placement Phase are coming! These improvements address friction points for Alliances that typically run less than three Battlegroups. Alliance leadership can now opt in or out of auto-clearing Defense placements for specified Battlegroups at the end of a War or remove individual placements from Battlegroups instead of relying on members to remove themselves. Alliance leadership is also now able to toggle between automatic or manual placement for Defense on Maps above/below your current difficulty.

Saga Champion Badging
To make Saga Champions easily identifiable, we are also introducing Saga Champion Badging! Each Champion in the Saga pool will have a Saga badge applied to their portrait throughout the Contest. These badges will follow the theme of the active Saga, making it easy to identify which champions benefit from the Saga.

All this and more! Check out the complete list of exciting updates on playcontestofchampions.com

NEW CHAMPIONS

The Destroyer
When the Celestials threatened humanity with judgment and possible execution, Odin and the other All-Fathers crafted a weapon to oppose the Celestials and protect their human worshippers. Infusing a mysterious metal with the power of every All-Father, Odin built the mighty enchanted construct known as The Destroyer. With strength and durability surpassing even the legendary metal Uru, The Destroyer is a terrifying weapon of mindless devastation.

The Serpent
In an age long past, when Earth was known as Aesheim, the eldest son of Bor Burison learned to draw terrible power from the fear of living beings. Aided by his brutal Worthy, Cul Borson gained such a stranglehold on the planet that to stop him, his brother Odin had to cleanse it of intelligent life. Prophecy declared that Odin could not kill his brother, and so the Serpent was sealed beneath the oceans as the millennia marched on. But now the God of Fear has returned, and the Nine Realms shall weep.

NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS


The Serpent And The Destroyer:
All the power and fury of some of the most fearsome foes from Asgard have come for the potential represented by the World Tree. Cul Borson, THE SERPENT, has brought powerful armor known as THE DESTROYER and he shall not stop in his pursuit of power. The Contest needs a hero, it needs saving, it needs someone nuts enough to step toe to Tippy-Toe with a god. Luckily for us, Squirrel Girl is on the case.


Make sure you’re feeling unbeatable before you face down THE SERPENT AND THE DESTROYER!


X-Magica:
New epic themes stretching across multiple months of adventures in The Contest are coming! The first of these Sagas is X-Magica and will span from March 6 to June 5. In this first Saga X-Magica, we witness rising threats looming over the Mutants and Mystics of The Battlerealm. Heroes must unite these two disparate groups as they face constant attacks from fearsome foes.


Alliance War Showcase:
A group of exceptional Alliance War Defenders, many of them carrying the Sugar Pill Tactic, have gathered in a new Quest and await your challenge! Experience the thrill of fighting powerful Defender placements from Master Tier Wars.


Featuring both Sugar Pill and Decay Tactics, Defender-Focused Masteries, and a 2-hour Quest time limit, the Alliance War Showcase will premiere later this month. Are you ready for your path?


Winter of Woe:
Winter has come, and soon a special set of challenges will be made available to those who have become Paragon or higher! Challenging content that consists of ONE 1v1 Quest will be released every 2 weeks. Be warned however, that these encounters are not for the faint of heart, and will cause you to be overcome with WOE. To further increase the trials set before you, each Quest will be accompanied by Solo Objectives for you to try to overcome!


Trader’s Outpost:
A new permanent shop is here, run by the Elder of the Universe: The Trader! Collect Mysterium in Side Quests and trade them in for valuable bundles. Save up your Mysterium as you adventure through the months to get some of these resources and rewards when you need them!

The Champions that inhabit this place were released from their Crystals improperly, and have been imbued with enhanced abilities and durability. The Grandmaster believes the Collector has been trying to hide the Necropolis to conceal his mistakes away from prying eyes, but now that all of this has been uncovered, the Grandmaster wants to clean it all up. The Grandmaster is opening the doors of the Necropolis to Paragon players on November 15th.
Alliance Quest Season 11
A new Season of Alliance Quest brings big changes to the mode. Updates to Rewards, Maps, and more! Keep an eye on the forums for the full breakdown.

CHAMPION UPDATES

Sandman:
Lowered the Heavy Proficiency max stacks cap from 10 to 8.
Increased the Heavy Proficiency Attack Ratio from 0.1 to 0.125.
Increased the Signature Ability Heavy Proficiency Bonus Ratio from 0.05 to 0.0625.
Changed all Unstable Physical Burst Damage from scaling with Base Attack only to scaling with Attack Rating.
Changed on-knockdown Debuff-based burst Physical Damage Attack Ratio from 0.05 to 0.04

Sandman’s changes had 2 goals in mind:
Reduce the damage difference between Special 3 loop vs Special 1/Special 2 loop while still keeping their identities split between damage and utility.
Increase ramp pacing so that Sandman still scales over fights while accessing meaningful damage in his first and second Unstable states.

NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

From the Champion Upgrade Screen, you can now use Units to take any Champion from their current level to the max level of their current rank.

NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS

Event Quest - Seed Of Doubt:
Tasked with protecting the powerful World Seed, the Guardians of the Galaxy find a cozy corner of deep space to hide in. But the Guardians have a way of stumbling into trouble, and they soon find themselves rescuing MOONDRAGON and arguing with ADAM WARLOCK while also dodging attacks from all sides. Will the Guardians be able to convince their newly reunited compatriots they can be trusted to keep their cosmically important cargo safe, or will there be a SEED OF DOUBT?

Escape From Titan:
Titan is under attack! This time not by Thanos but by Drax (and his friends), who intend on dragging his daughter Moondragon to an outing whether she likes it or not! Each path and fight you choose will determine the next set of encounters’ Buffs and Debuffs. Defeat each encounter along your way and help Moondragon escape Titan!

Your choices of paths and combatants will activate Trap Buffs that will change the fights ahead of you as you go. So remember, when the going gets tough… you did this to yourself!

Hop in and get ready for a turbulent ride through The Contest as COSMIC GHOST RIDER and RED GOBLIN fight for, about & through time itself.

Hades Invasion
Hell is in an uproar and Mephisto needs the Summoner and Cosmic Ghost Rider to sort it out and bring order back to the underworld. However, the land of the dead is a dangerous place for the living, filled with hazards few Champions can contend with. Thankfully Mephisto has a side-gig selling spare Souls capable of shielding the Summoner and their allies from the harmful effects of the netherworld. Wouldn't you know it though, these special Soul Boosts come with some side-effects when used...just goes to show that you should always read the user manual before activating second-hand eldritch powers.

Samurai’s Journey

The Island of Doctor M.O.D.O.K.
Ever since M.O.D.O.K. established his Hotel, he's been working tirelessly on his experimental Champions. But the Hotel is no place for his creations to live, so he's been sending them off to a secret secluded island to run free (under careful supervision of course). Now the time has come for M.O.D.O.K. to harvest the fruits of his labors, and it's up to the Summoner to drop in and collect some samples for M.O.D.O.K. to study. Don't worry though, the Summoner will be handsomely rewarded for their efforts with Gold Coins redeemable only at the Hotel M.O.D.O.K. Store!

NEW FEATURES:

Buff Deleter
M.O.D.O.K. has unleashed a new tool to aid you in your Labs Quests. The new Buff Deleter item can be used much like Rerolls, but can remove a Buff of your choice instead of replacing them.

THE LIVING DEATH WHO WALKS!
Thing reveals the goals of the Fantastic Four: Building a beacon that could potentially break the Champions out of The Battlerealm! Unfortunately, it was divided into parts amongst the Fantastic Four, and they have all been lost for some time. Using his knowledge of the Negative Zone, Thing begrudgingly takes his allies into the dangerous region, knowing it will be the place to find Johnny Storm, the Human Torch. With Johnny's powers going haywire and alighting the Negative Zone in uncontrolled flame, they must contend with Annihilus--and the strained relationship between Johnny and Ben.

FLAME ON!
The Human Torch has a new type of ability that he can activate before entering the fight to completely turn the tables on the Opponent.

NEW QUESTS:
BRAWL IN THE BATTLEREALM
It’s a royal rumble without compare in The Contest when the Grandmaster suddenly re-emerges and invites any and all contenders to take on his mightiest fighter in single combat. Amidst the showmanship and boasting, the Collector reveals himself to the Summoner and Heroes with a warning: As is often the case with the Greatest Gamesman, all is not as it seems with his challenge. Finding themselves once more warily allied with the Collector, the Elder regales them with a story of how this threatening brawler came to be. Together, they seek a single fighter capable of assisting the Summoner in trouncing the Grandmaster’s gladiator: The original victor of THE CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS.

It’s a no-holds barred beatdown when ÆGON and THE CHAMPION square off in BRAWL IN THE BATTLEREALM!

NEW Quests!
Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer
Doctor Strange has not been seen since the events of the Infinity War left him without his mystical powers. Guillotine has not been seen since well before then. The Battlerealm has been unusually quiet, with whispers of a stirring presence emerging in the darkness of the unknown regions… The mysterious force doesn’t take long to show itself: A Sorcerer Supreme from a different dimension seeking more power and with far less prudence opened their prison and willingly bonded with a Symbiote, imprisoned long ago in the Forbidden Territories by The Grandmaster. Help Guillotine, Doctor Strange, and unlikely ally Venom take down the Symbiotic Sorcerer in BLOOD AND VENOM: SYMBIOMANCER!

Occult Laboratory
Dark experiments in symbiote evolution fused with forbidden magics have paved the way to the great power wielded by the Symbiote Supreme. Now, the foul magister has created several bases from which he plans to expand his dark influence over the Battlerealm. Dismantle his evil establishments and the corrupt denizens, but beware the multitude of unpredictable buffs that he will use to oppose you! The power of the Randomizer will allow you a chance to re-roll buffs on your opponents, but be wary you do not make them stronger!

My Little Symbiote
Trailing the symbiote invasion, a horrifying new group of creatures has invaded The Contest! The Grandmaster has tasked Summoners with the role of caretaker for these Summoned Symbioids. While initially humble, Summoners who track down limited Klyntar Katalysts in the Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer quest will find great potential in the creatures. Additionally, Klyntar Strands found in the Occult Laboratory and Symbiomancer quests can be used to purchase special Boost items called “Enhancements.” These Enhancements will temporarily transform the Symbioid into a formidable opponent, allowing Summoners potential to tackle harder quest difficulty. These Enhancements will ONLY be active in the Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer quest. To highlight the Summoned Symbioid’s potential, we will temporarily be adding a Symbiote difficulty level to the monthly event quest, where we will test your usage of the Summoned Symbioid’s unique powers against fights built specifically with its boosts in mind!

Be forewarned: The power of both the Summoned Symbioid and the Enhancements is limited. Come the end of the event, the Enhancements will vanish, and the Symbioid will return to parts unknown! Summoners who add the Summoned Symbioid to their team will be granted the special title ‘Hospitable Host.’ Prepare yourself; the Symbioids are on their way!

Bug Fixes and Improvements:

• Fixed an issue where Champions would get stuck mid-animation, and remain that way.

Character Fixes and Improvements:

Juggernaut:
• When Unstoppable, if Juggernaut is Stunned, Juggernaut will remove the Stun Debuff and apply his Heavy Attack Stagger debuff to the Opponent.
• The chance to apply a Stagger from Juggernaut’s Heavy Attack has been increased from 90% to 100%

Emma Frost:
• Fixed an Issue where Emma Frost was not immune to Coldsnap while in her Diamond Form

Rhino:
• Fixed an issue where Rhino’s Unblockable text would only appear against XL Champions. The Unblockable callout will also now appear when Rhino starts his Dash attack, and not right before he makes contact.

Doctor Strange:
• Fixed an issue where Doctor Strange’s Counterspell was not removing all Buff Types

Thor (Jane Foster):
• Fixed an issue where Thor (Jane Foster) was indefinitely able to charge her Heavy Attack.

NEW Quest! X-Men: Class Omega
Though the Cabal’s emergence has given criminals a place to call home, numerous other factions and groups are looking for a banner under which to unite. In order to rally mutant-kind to a singular cause, the telepath, Emma Frost, has appeared with the illustrious Omega Academy, designed to bring out the true potential in mutants. But Beast and Bishop have some reservations, given Frost's checkered past and want to get a closer look. Is this just a school for helping the mutants, or is there something more underneath the surface? Join their investigation to see what is lingering inside of the Omega Academy.

NEW Quest! X-Men: Class Omega
Though the Cabal’s emergence has given criminals a place to call home, numerous other factions and groups are looking for a banner under which to unite. In order to rally mutant-kind to a singular cause, the telepath, Emma Frost, has appeared with the illustrious Omega Academy, designed to bring out the true potential in mutants. But Beast and Bishop have some reservations, given Frost's checkered past and want to get a closer look. Is this just a school for helping the mutants, or is there something more underneath the surface? Join their investigation to see what is lingering inside of the Omega Academy.

NEW QUESTS:
ENTER THE CABAL
The power vacuum created by Thanos’ defeat lingers still. Despite their best efforts, the Super Heroes of The Contest, led by the survivors of the Infinity War, have been unable to keep a handle on crime sweeping The Battlerealm. Ordinarily petty criminals have become more coordinated, excavating large parts of The Battlerealm in search of something. It doesn’t take long for the culprit to be revealed: The Red Skull has emerged as the leader of The Cabal, The Dark Illuminati. A collection of malevolent super-geniuses who have taken over control of the Black-ISO Mafia and other criminal organizations in The Battlerealm. The Super Heroes of The Contest must uncover Red Skull’s plans with the help of the gatekeeper of the Bifrost, Heimdall, and innocent bystanders Korg and Miek, but their discoveries only raise more questions, and suggest the worst is yet to come…

Masacre and the Mercs for Money

THE INFINITY WAR HAS ARRIVED! The Mad Titan has been wreaking havoc, find out how this will impact The Contest with:

NEW QUEST - Infinity Nightmare
Thanos has won. His Infinity Gauntlet is complete, and with it he wields supreme power. Sitting atop The Battlerealm, he issues his first decree: “NO MORE GAMES. THE CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS IS OVER”. Everything grinds to a halt. His children hunt the heroes, who have taken refuge in the Astral Plane. It’s up to an uneasy alliance between M.O.D.O.K., Mephisto, and an army of freed Champions, led by Captain America and Iron Man to stop Thanos, or die trying. Help them defeat Thanos now!

NEW MODE - Infinity Dungeons - Available for a limited time only!
Team up with another Summoner to battle through an endless series of Rooms. Even better, they don’t have to be in your alliance! Strategize with them while in the Dungeon with the new Quick Chat feature. Each Dungeon has a unique theme depending on the day you play, including randomized Buffs on Nodes that are different every time you play.

The further you go, the harder it becomes, and the better the rewards. Once you have completed a Room, you must decide whether to push on to the next and more difficult Room, or conclude the Dungeon and collect the points and rewards you’ve earned so far. Points earn you a new currency called Dark Artifacts. Use these vessels of dark power to purchase new Infinity Dungeon Crystals containing Champions. Recruit a friend and see how far you can get! This mode will be live on April 25th at 4pm PST.

New Quest - Infinity: Chaos
The Black Panther has succeeded in his quest to delay Thanos. After an epic struggle in a cosmic plane of existence, Thanos' Infinity Stones have been plucked from his Infinity Gauntlet and strewn across The Battlerealm once again, but the chaos of their arrival has led to the loss of the Stones in the possession of the Super Heroes of The Contest. Now, with a level playing field, the entire cabal of Marvel Super Heroes is in a race against time to collect the Infinity Stones before Thanos. Unfortunately for them, they are unaware of his mad machinations, and the loyal servants he has sent to stand in their way… Play this new event quest starting April 4th!

Chaos Rifts
The return of the Infinity Stones to The Battlerealm has created chaotic fractures in the fabric of reality and spawned new Crystals and Crystal Shards in the process. These Chaos Rifts draw powerful objects inside them, luring Summoners to lands of untold riches. Collect Chaos Crystal Shards to stabilize the entrances to the Chaos Rifts and claim your treasure, but be wary as these unstable pocket dimensions will only remain open for a short time!

Alliance Quests Update
We will be implementing a smaller-scale refresh to the existing Alliance Quests to shake up strategies and challenges. Each map, and variation thereof if applicable, will have the Mini-Bosses and Minion enemies updated.

Champion Updates
Sentry:
Sentry’s true power is based on entering different states defined by his Combo Meter. In an effort to make him more effective while putting a greater focus on skilled play, we wanted to downplay the randomness currently present in the act of entering these different states. We have increased his chance to enter 2 of his states to 100%, and doubled his chance to enter Steadfast Approach, as well as increasing his chance to proc effects from his Special 1 and 2 Attacks to 100%.

• Steadfast Approach: Chance to enter with bonus increased from 30% to 60%
• Absolute Strength: Chance to enter with bonus increased from 30% to 100%
• Special Attack 1: Chance for Fury Increased from 70% to 100%
• Special Attack 2: Chance to Armor Break Increased from 70% to 100%

Bug Fixes and Improvements
• Fixed an issue where restarting the game while downloading content would cause the download to start over
• Fixed an issue where while fighting or using Killmonger, a Reverberation callout will appear while not reflecting damage
• Corrected Killmonger’s Synergy description, and clarified his Special 3 Attack description
• Fixed an issue where Punisher’s Special 3 Attack Description indicated an increase of Damage instead of Attack
• Fixed an issue where blocking attacks did not cause Gambit to lose his Flak Jacket
• Fixed an issue where Mephisto’s Soul Imprisonment debuff would cancel Medusa’s Signature Ability
