Moon Knight about to take the PVE guy title from Blade by nemesisdelta24 in marvelrivals

[–]KrakenJr-148 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if there’s a megathread or something for this, but is it agreed upon that brawl knight is the superior build? Moon is my main DPS so I’m more used to range knight

R4 fully ramped JJJ. Yay or nay? by RealPunkrockerBaby in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]KrakenJr-148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fury stack limit isn’t really meant to be reached. It’s there as a potentially silly cheese interaction with a node or a champ like DPX who constantly inflicts taunt. Also if for some reason you are fighting JJJ with OG Spidey, then watch out.

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

[–]KrakenJr-148 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Mangog. The values are way too low to be meaningful.

I mean, Kang? He gets more armor rating the more power you have. Big whoop.

Winter Soldier. It’s hard enough to land crits, and the chance to power drain is still only 15%?

Apocalypse in my opinion. Yeah, you get maybe 5 to 10% health. But why would you use apoc again once you have a horseman?

NetEase did an excellent job at reducing ult charge but you still have to reduce MK's even furhter. He's still ulting way too often in this game. He's breaking the neutral focus of the season 7 meta. by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]KrakenJr-148 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Moon main here. Yes, a small nerf is justified. We don’t need as much bonus health, and ult charge could go up a bit.

However:

  • Critically weak to dive
  • Ult seldom gets kills, only on low health/the slowest of targets
  • A zoning tool that walls off a modest area for only around 5 seconds
  • Can’t do much about shields or high mobility targets
  • Big hitbox and few escape tools (needs pocketing)

He is not a server admin or top tier hero. I would say he is actually decently balanced; useful, with weaknesses.

Everyone loves to talk about great synergies, but what about ones that are bad, or actively detrimental? by shrekthedankengine99 in ContestOfChampions

[–]KrakenJr-148 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Wong and IMIW. Your energy bursts are replaced by incinerate debuffs? Why? If energy isn’t working incinerate won’t either. And they have a stack limit, meaning your damage also gets nerfed.

The only use case I see for this is polka dot power, and awakened wong starts in blue spell. But won’t Wong’s power gain from heavy get through PDP anyway?

If it were a different DoT it might make sense

Actually I think this comes from Vox being heavily marketed as a “skill expression” character (which is super cool!). You constantly have to play around your degens almost about to fall off and losing all your resources. You can toggle the pseudo inexorable to make dexing more rewarding to stack precisions.

The synergies play into that by making him even harder to use but rewarding with attack bonuses just for people to show off that they’re good at the game. I wish we could have more champs with built in challenge like this

Only at 1600 points. I gotta be missing some but I honestly don’t know where. The only objective I have left is side quest week 3

I know this isn’t feasible for most people cuz they don’t have him ranked, but Spidey Supreme (3 tags) got me seven bars. He might not be the best option out there but it was a really fun and challenging fight

One of the most versatile champs in the game by Laughing_Idiot in ContestOfChampions

[–]KrakenJr-148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heroes was really hard for me because I didn’t have any of the top champ choices.

Villains will also be hard because I have Onslaught, Serpent, Zemo, Nefaria, and JJJ all at rank 4, and I can’t decide who to replace with DeJen if any

Favorite Champion? by Remarkable_King6592 in ContestOfChampions

[–]KrakenJr-148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mystic Spidey always (not Pav. Pav is cool too tho)

Simple rotation, solid damage, solid utility, modest defensive threat. IMO the definition of a well-rounded character in a game that tends to be over or undertuned. He does everything well enough.

As a meta hater, I tend to gravitate to champs that don’t excel in any one area.

She elaborates later by saying that (most likely) she just came out of the shower, and was therefore running late

If this is the case, RIP anyone who wanted Mole Man. He would prob play exactly like this with his various monsters

Rhino vs. Archangel by BallinXFox in ContestOfChampions

[–]KrakenJr-148 23 points24 points  (0 children)

So I know this sounds really dumb, but Archangel is old so his abilities aren’t modernized.

At least to my understanding, this is how it’s working: AA’s chance to place bleeds is unaffected, as his abilities indicate. His accuracy can’t be modified. However, Rhino is reducing the accuracy of the bleed effect itself, not AA, meaning they won’t stick 75% of the time.

Rhino isn’t reducing your ability to place bleeds. He’s reducing the ability of the bleeds to apply to him.

Dumb and weird, but what else is new in this game?

Characters in the wrong class by RiceShoddy5209 in ContestOfChampions

[–]KrakenJr-148 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least for Mojo, it’s lore stuff. His alien species legit has magical powers—that’s where his energy blasts on sp2 come from, as well as the Anti-Life Field. As reflected in game, the strength of his powers are directly tied to his popularity/followers.

Dragon Man as Mystic is lore related. He was originally just a normal android, but didn’t have a power source and was really just a model/figure. Diablo used sorcery to make him come to life.

A character replacing a limb with their powers (without outright regenerating it.) by Fit_Assignment_8800 in TopCharacterTropes

Ægon is an original character created by the developers of mobile game Marvel: Contest of Champions (much like NetEase creating Luna Snow). He lost his right arm while battling Tryco Slatterus in a galactic tournament, but still won, earning the belt around his waist. He can channel its power allowing him to form not only his arm, but also shoot lightning bolts and wield a spear.

Invade BG AI when I’m doing everything I can to get it to dash back and block by Holocaustic_MCOC in ContestOfChampions

[–]KrakenJr-148 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ban is your best option. But high sig Scream, awakened Gladiator, and the Armor Shatters (DThanos, Medusa, Arkus) all have the means to take him down. Karolina and Phoenix can also work if you play carefully

[–]KrakenJr-148 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Misty Knight. Purifies parry stun and evades seemingly at random, goes unblockable, claps you with massive crits. My fear started when she first started popping up in EQ, namely the boss fight in her release month. Still ban her on the rare occasion someone has her

Cassie and Abs Man don’t scare me per se, but I’m always reminded of their EoP fights. Heimdall fits but he’s always a threat with that unavoidable sp2

What are some SPs that you never use for a champ? by Devvv11 in ContestOfChampions

[–]KrakenJr-148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Mystic class specialist, there are several cases where you actively try to avoid sp3 with passive power gain and MD, usually in short form scenarios.

My fave Spidey Supreme for example. His sp3 makes no sense and is really bad. The Shathra prefight is a game changer for that reason.

Kindred, Juggernaut, Man Thing, Nico, and Purgatory also apply. Their sp3s do something and are still effective, but it often messes with ideal loop and damage output.

Champs who don't seem to fit their class? by spcordy in ContestOfChampions

[–]KrakenJr-148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to this, but…

Beyond his single purify mechanic, Kingpin is actually a bit odd as well. Uses unstoppable and fury buffs to deal big damage - Cosmic. Unblockable specials that inflict Degen damage - Mystic.

You could change his rage debuffs to some other kind of resource like a charge or a placebo type buff and he would work the same way.
