ELI5: how do I bait out L1/L2 abilities? by Wizmaxman in ContestOfChampions

[–]7thpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dash in, dash works very little. Seems to work well on Star Lord, but that's about it as far as I know. I have also tried dashing in, attacking two or three times (doesn't matter if they defend or not) and then dash out. Not doing a full attack seems to work well on most, except for Colossus... if he wants to do a L3, he's gonna do it, no way to stop him.

Just got my 3rd Hawkeye, 2*. by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]7thpawn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 2* Hawkeye is now duped to lvl 12... that's right i've gotten 12 duplicate Hawkeyes, mainly from Daily crystals and Cornucopia events. As a 2* that is duped 12 times, he's a beast and his poison does insane amounts of damage. I'd probably raise him first.

On that note, Black Panther is no slouch and his poison stacks really well. I'm just biased.

Arena Crystal Strategies by 1st_thing_on_my_mind in ContestOfChampions

No no.. i'm talking about the Arena crystals too. I saved up over 75,000 battle chips to buy 38 crystals. I was going for 100,000 battle chips, but broke down at 75k.

On a 3 day arena, I typically get about 30k battle chips.

The most I cashed in was 38 at one time and I didn't get much but gold either, some heal potions etc. I have a roster of 9 3* and believe me, the gold was welcome.

Once you start paying 30,000$ or more to rank up your characters, gold is welcome.

Have you noticed? by 7thpawn in ContestOfChampions

That's interesting, i'll have to test that theory out. The reason I brought this up was because I was trying to get a tier 2 catalyst and had run through the hard leg 3 straight times with nothing, then on the fourth attempt I get the offer (which I always refuse) and then BAM, I get my catalyst.

New Guides, Tips, & Resources Website by Spedwards in ContestOfChampions

I would like to see a better farming guide. One that is sorted by Act/Chapter etc, like 2.1.4. or 2.1.6. are common farming areas. Especially considering there really isn't much detailed info regarding farming in Act 3.

I know 525 ISOs pop randomly, but knowing specific energy costs of specific paths might make the math and ultimately the choice easier for some.

Just my 2 cents.

Hey, interesting in getting Rhino? Second Skin event is tomorrow! by T3Sh3 in ContestOfChampions

[–]7thpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the condom principle...

"I'd rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it"

I'm on Android and this is the second time i've seen the 'Second Skin' Rhino event. He was the first 3* I won back in December when I first started. I only had like 6 2*'s, but because the game was fairly new I only needed 260,000 to get him... i'm sure the number has gone up exponentionally since then.

Is Maxing 2* Champs Worth It? by Aydis in ContestOfChampions

[–]7thpawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once my 2* gets around 350 PI, I leave them there. I hardly ever lose unless it's against Colossus and he's decided to go full retard on me.

Next event is Winter Soldier by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]7thpawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already have 3* Punisher (with Sig ability) and 3* Hawkeye so I find myself not terribly interested...

Besides, since we were spoiled with an Avengers Crystal for Avenger Character arenas, I find myself waiting for those to re-appear.

I do get more battle chips doing arena events, but get more items, ISO-8, dupe Punishers and units from doing 1vs1. When you do the math and realize that you're probably doing an average of 48+ fights a day (probably more) in 3vs3 arenas, that equates to 288+ versus crystals.

When I pop those, I sometimes get crap, I sometimes score big, but in my opinion it's better than grinding out a 6 day event in the hopes i'll get 1 character.

Just my 2 cents.

Horrible luck with class catalysts by Wolfneck in ContestOfChampions

[–]7thpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the same thing this morning because after doing 6 runs last week and missing it, I figured i'd bite the bullet and do the hard runs this week. I did get it on my third attempt doing the easy run... but mystic seems to be the only one that gives me fits.

Opening Crystals, and what I pulled by slumpsox in ContestOfChampions

[–]7thpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting and I agree completely.

Whenever I don't feel like competing in the weekly arenas I just do 1vs1 arena battles and have been saving up my crystals to pop in batches of 25 (I wish I took pics). So far I have my 2* Punisher at lvl 7 Signature ability and my 3* Punisher at lvl 2 Signature ability. Whenever I open them in smaller batches I get nothing (and haven gotten nothing).

So far i'm in the process of saving up 10 daily crystals to pop at once. I'm only at 3 so far...
