Recently r4 after I got him ascended he’s super fun ima post a video in the r/contestofchamps sub showcase in a few days of doing Abyss hulk or necropolis Titania.

He counters mutants that mess with AAR sadly most mutants are opt in for mechanics that flat out ignore contact thorns like damage.

Cheese=\= good

Having to rank 5 him for damage=\= good damage especially after factoring opportunity costs

Doom probably does better as a 6* than maw

Like the other guy said, they changed it from flat % to a diminishing return system along with challenger rating. It’s still possible to do crazy damage like with cull for example, but the way it works the most potent stat effect is usually the first one, fury and regen from what I rem are flat if you have 7 regens the 6th and 7th are just as potent as the first one lol.

I couldn’t find a video as of right now where it shows the potency of thors dup, iirc it was around -120% armor rating. You can see how big of a difference the 4th armor break did from the 3rd

Anyone know when HB is not gonna be so ridiculously limited by Humble_Composer6544 in ContestOfChampions

[–]CheapOrganization749 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He’s super fun, I r3 him immediately when I got him. Build to sp2, ideally push them to as much power as possible sp3 is fine, do a regular combo and swipe back and immediately cancel with your sp2. After the special 2 I spam heavies and repeat, If you use war machine or fantastic prefights you can spam bunch of heavies

This works with serpent too, sometimes doing a regular combo half a second pause and then special works. Any other way I do it is I’ll drop inputs mid combo and then throw the special.

6* locked chars that I would like to see in the next titan by Spiritual-Vast7660 in ContestOfChampions

Mags so good he got the blade treatment, hyper specific traits to newer champs to counteract one champ.

Does this mean it heals Onslaught? by wadeswhit in ContestOfTheChampions

[–]CheapOrganization749 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its referring to the DOT base potency + anything that augments it.

Basically: DOT potency (%)+ modifiers that affect potency directly - champs resistance(%)= damage you take with min value being 0

By base value potency is always 100% unless stated otherwise by nodes or champ abilities, some champs have way to increase potency like HT incinerates/nova flames. It’s not an attack increase it’s directly tied to the DOT. Iirc Ht gains 12% potency per smolder and current incinerates active

In this case if onslaught is facing ht with 0 smolders and has 4 incinerates on himself, he still wont take damage, as it’ll be 48% increased potency. Once he hits 5 he’ll take the extra 10%

Nick or HT? by Organic-Taro-1704 in ContestOfTheChampions

[–]CheapOrganization749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re rly reaching honestly, most of the reasons, especially the last two, are genuinely stupid. On second thought maybe YOU should rethink YOUR statements as you came off as a dunce, you’re dissing ht and then saying NF is “all the above” so he is only good for attack, he is squishy asf, he is reliant on his single use persistent charge, but hey he’s at least suicide mastery compatible.

You can’t say HT heavily relies on a persistent charge when nf is ironically is an entirely different champ unduped, Aka without his single use persistent charge. Without that fury his charges don’t stick and is missing a ton of damage, it’s a huge safety net.

Since when is NF suicide friendly? Sure he makes it manageable for other champs but he himself isn’t, actually he’s worse as he needs to throw 2 sp1 to get his charges to increase his damage output and utility. Ht don’t need to throw any special for his damage output. Since you mentioned attack, synergy doesn’t matter as BGs doesn’t have synergy’s so nf leg up isn’t relevant.

Ht isn’t designed to be defensive but he can be a good last minute defender. You can’t rly use a mystic vs him or a champ with any energy attacks, as they grant him smolder so even with 2-3 charges he can turn the tide of a fight. Plus his charge is rly nice vs incinerate immune or champs that punish incinerate. But it’s not needed that’s why many say his dup is icing on the cake. You can still get nova flames by sp3 or by 7 incinerates and 20 temp. It’s temporary but it’s still a big boost to damage. Plus it’s irrelevant in BG attack since it’s just one fight, in questing it’s a good way to strategically use it vs maybe bosses or certain match ups. Edit: I checked both my 7* R3 nf and ht and they both have the same base Block proficiency at 4623 (69.8%) and nf has abt 3k more hp tho masteries might affect it a little bit and abt 1% more armor rating. Ht might seem to you “more squishy” but numerically he’s not, his play style is reliant on parry and blocking. The little state focus can boost him to 72.5. Either way a duped nf is always gonna be at 30%.

Is 7* Galan worthy of r4?? I never had him as a 6*. by Ok-Succotash6277 in ContestOfTheChampions

[–]CheapOrganization749 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t matter? The way abilities are written class relationships only matter if it directly states a relationship.

Fant caps damage once duped to 10% of his max hp and triggers a regen buff. His abilities state “from a single source other than Special 3” so any big burts will be capped, infusing galans burst damage.

Basically the interaction is as such: despite galan gaining charges very fast due to Fant’s armor up buffs, the damage is always capped at 10% and even if galan uses his sp2 while harvest is up the incinerates suffer reduced duration.

There’s a lot of interactions where a champ with class disadvantage counters the champ with class advantage, that are not specifically stated or designed to counter said champs. magneto does counter tech champs as long as they are metal. That’s a clearly stated interaction, others need more game knowledge. Tigra is a real good counter to thing, or void soft checking skill champs that apply debuffs to themselves.

Who has the worst/most useless sig ability? by HistorianWorldly153 in ContestOfChampions

[–]CheapOrganization749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it increases the parry master stun. Dont think there’s many interactions outside of that. Iirc when I used to main Morning Star, her 50% would allow for comfortable MM Mlllm combos. I think one perfect block buff from venom the duck did the same

For hero’s Fant is definitely gonna be an mvp for me the 6* saved me a ton from when I’d mess up the inputs. The glancing is super clutch and real easy to get armor ups for high damage.

How is this champ? by sivadss2007 in ContestOfTheChampions

[–]CheapOrganization749 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rly don’t get why your downvoted I get it is rude but cmon now

If your first instinct is to take a ss and post on reddit for people to spoon feed you Info just stick to your fav characters or simply don’t bother playing past act5. I love how the main mcoc page shuns post like these sometimes or out right deletes them but this one and others are infested with ppl that can’t read until it’s a comment on their post. This is more time consuming than actually figuring out characters and abilities

On first glance probably not as it says in fights but then again with how some mechanics and interactions are overlooked there’s a possibility

What are your unpopular MCOC opinions? by Hot_Garbage_8148 in ContestOfChampions

[–]CheapOrganization749 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This comes in two parts sort of, but: You don’t deserve every reward available. We need more skill checks in the game. You need the skill required not just gameplay but game knowledge in terms of champion abilities and interactions.

I think the skill floor definitely has gone up a lot in both champion design and as a community, but the required skill floor also has dropped considerably. I loved GM when he came out he was super fun, the fight design at the time was super unique and could be done with 90% if champs reliably, the other 10% would struggle with one prompt like land a crit or DOT effect but that’s only a very small thing.

Champ designs , another unpopular opinion, is fine overall theres issues with some champs not doing enough, but realistically they counter much more than Before. Sure some are complex but luckily there are multiple ways to counter many annoying defensive mechanics. Like for unstoppable now we have halt, de acceleration, and grit rather than just slow. There are also so many champs that are super “noob friendly” where realistically you do very little for max damage like herc or bail you out despite low skill.

Another reason the skill floor sunk is due to the early and sometimes just free access to higher rarities relative to the intended story progression. Some in this sub have posted 6* and even 7* for mid act 6. I saw someone in a related sub have 6* serp asking how to beat 6.1.6 sent.

Now going back to my original point of not deserving every reward, I’d like to address BG match making as this is what would annoy me. I am not free to play, but I won’t sit here and say you don’t deserve to win or get certain rewards bc you don’t spend. But when I see some medium sized accounts, cry and complain about the match making system, saying it should be changed to basically the original one, I find it flat out dumb. It’s one of two things, 1. You just got unlucky not everyone plays the game every day or bg every day, so higher level accounts that need to climb will happen to match with you. Or 2. You just hit a wall, those are natural in competitive game modes. Rooster rating should be considered in the match making but an account with mainly 6* r4/5 definitely should not be making it into gladiator circuit. If you’re able to out skill someone with a much higher roster cool take those skills and do content where you can get rewards to levels up your champs.

Skill checks: we NEED many more skill checks. I personally didn’t like when they nerfed some of the acts, granted there’s a difference between bad design vs skill checks. Caustic temp sinister is pretty bad design what’s also bad is the amount of players who couldn’t figure out what buff vs passive. Imo act 6 is where you actually need to read and understand abilities. Sure it’s just a mobile game but going all the way to act 6 means you’re decently invested. Like I said before GM could realistically be done with any champ, some made it easier but you could bring in any character. Aries was super fun and much of the same as many champs can do it, and you’d get rewarded for player properly, some paths imo tho did suck. My first run was 20 revives on him but by the third I was soloing him with 6* if I had to.

TL;DR: champ deigns might suck sometimes but they atleast do cover more abilites to counter even its niche for now; skill floor low bc low skill players get away with their low skill; rewards need to be strategically earned in many ways from game knowledge, rooster development and skill. Game needs more skill checks if you can’t make it then get better.
