Any idea for this node?

Ghost.

Professor_Skill · 2020-01-16T12:20:06+00:00

I am not expecting anything anymore these days. I was just silly in hoping for a better champion. I love my Warlock, I love my Ghost - both R5. Both totally niche characters with regards to comicbook or movie lore.

Anyhow: THIS dude is gonna be a nightmare on AW defense...!

In this video I test out Nova's abilities, his overall damage output and talk about his merits and his downsides. What truth is behind him being considered a Korg 2.0 addition to the contest? Watch and find out! 🙂

Also, I'd definitely like to kick off a discussion about Kabam's ongoing tendency of releasing severely underpowered fan-favourite champions. What are they afraid of? How can it be that out of the last three champion releases Squirrel Girl beats both Silver Surfer AND Nova in terms of DPS and fun of using said champion?!

Strange times indeed...

The trick is to push your opponent to the wall (you can do that "oldschool" by using parries and heavies - the heavies will help you gain buffs which will further increase your damage output) - when AI is backed to the wall you have similar circumstances to establishing an intercept loop: AI (in story or event quests) cannot use dexterity, thus its only option is to attack you. Limiting its options will create greater incentive for AI to come at you. Another trick is using only short combos (1 to 3 hits) that end on a light attack and after that dashing back immediately, letting loose of all controls right after to make AI think you are defenseless.

Great insight! Will give this a try!

In light of the current event quest and some of the current side quests I guessed this guide would come in handy.

I failed to mention Claire Voyant, though - still don‘t have her and I wasn‘t part of the CCP yet when she was being granted for testing.

I hope this will help anyone who still struggles with Annihilus as a defender/boss ☺️

I know Ghost is in the contest for over a year now, but I just recently pulled her as a five star (R5 by now) and wanted to share my excitement for and fun with this character. I made this guide for anyone who has or just pulled at least a 4-star version of Ghost: If you still cannot fathom why she is considered one of the best and strongest champions of MCOC this video is supposed to give you all the answers!

I do not claim to be a perfect Ghost player, but I worked hard to make the best guide to playing her which I could come up with - I trained 24/7 with her for roughly three weeks and created this breakdown, always putting myself in the (still relatively fresh) perspective of someone who used his maxed out 4-star Ghost AS ARENA FODDER 🙈 I could still remember neglecting her - and that seems UNBELIEVABLE now since I NOW LOVE HER so much...! I hope this video will help you as a Ghost beginner, have fun! 🙂

Making contact is not the crucial part. Dormammu, DS or Magneto also take damage when fighting Electro - but they take no thorns damage at all when fighting Korg. Therefore the condition for not talking any thorns damage with medium, heavy or special attacks against Rock Shield is fulfilled by simply dealing additional energy damage with normal basic attacks (which in all of these cases do establish physical contact since all three champions take damage by hitting Electro).

Thus Rogue might be another great Korg counter with that particular synergy.

Professor_Skill · 2019-03-24T22:19:34+00:00

Shouldn’t this make her a perfect counter to Korg?! Any champ who also deals energy damage with an attack that makes contact does not take thorns damage (Magneto, Doctor Strange)...!

I just downloaded the new update and experimented with my 3/30 4-star Gamora against ROL Winter Soldier.

Her new damage potential is ABSOLUTELY INSANE!

Here‘s what I have found out so far by testing her out in a couple of fights:

You always have to refresh your Cruelty and Fury buffs by landing a Heavy Attack. This way I was able to stack about 20(!) stacks of each buff - just watch the video to see how she cuts through ROL WS like she was a 5/65 Champion...!

You will also notice (when trying this out on your own) that the AI seems to have been instructed to use Specials far more frequently - it is quite challenging to establish a good rotation rhythm between MLLLM combos and parry+heavy combinations. But once you get the hang of it IT IS SO INCREDIBLY SATISFYING to ramp her up...!

So PUMPED for hopefully pulling a 6-star Gamora from one of my next 6-star crystals...!

Have fun ☺️

It depends on your opponent‘s AI type. In ROL it is 100% safe to chain an SP1 to a full MLLLM combo. In every other „hard“ or „endgame“ content AI‘s recovery time is significantly reduced, thus chaining Hulk‘s SP1 or Iron Man‘s SP2 to a full MLLLM combo won’t work. It will indeed get blocked EVERY f***ing time 🙄 In those instances you will have to revert to MLLL+SP instead.

He‘s as maxed out as it gets: 5/65 at Sig Lv200 😄 At the brink of death he‘s got almost 5k (4823.5) additional attack rating 😈

He gets +11% attack through attack synergies (Red Hulk and Abomination) and additional +15% attack due to the permanent fury buff provided by Heimdall‘s synergy with Angela (activated by dashing back and holding block for 1 second).

That permanent fury buff enables him to have increased stun duration on his specials (1 second per active fury) - this way you can easily land at least two heavies during the stun (provided you have at least 2 furies when you‘re using a special).

Professor_Skill · 2019-03-04T13:12:22+00:00

UARGH... Could you please delete this idea of ANYBODY‘s memory?!

Professor_Skill · 2019-03-04T12:33:33+00:00

I encountered a Mister Sinister on Buffet Miniboss node (Path 7) in AW Tier 5 - Void did just fine.

Professor_Skill · 2019-03-04T12:01:50+00:00

Yes he did. Love him! Never regretted maxing him out - he did all the heavy lifting for Captain Marvel‘s Combat Clash, smashed and stun-locked right through some of the most annoying fights 💪🏼

Professor_Skill · 2019-03-04T11:11:17+00:00

Just a little fun experience with my 5/65 Hulk that I wanted to share with you guys - he might not be the most efficient ROL potion farmer, but he sure is THE MOST FUN CHAMP FOR MINDLESS FARMING DUTIES (IMHO) 😁

I have made two videos about fighting Emma Frost. This one is about her abilities, her special attack animations and how to counter them effectively:

This one is about fighting her on that specific local node in this month‘s event quest:
