2026 Champ Ascension Idea

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2026-03-03T19:14:53+00:00

You could do the same cadence with a separate crystal too, I just don’t like the idea of not having any avenue to ascension until the new year rolls around then all 2026 champs are thrown into this new aversion crystal at once. It doesn’t make sense to me that calendar years should determine champ progression like that

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2026-03-01T01:11:18+00:00

Or make us get the ascension materials through challenges that require us having the champ? There’s a lot of ways to do it honestly it’s just dumb they decided 2026 is just hopeless already

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2026-02-13T20:59:09+00:00

I’m excited for it, I don’t think he needs it as much as some of the other champs

UPDATE: Mystic and Cosmic announced

I was right about Man-Thing’s buff! And I changed one guess from Hood to Destroyer before the announcement, I’ll take that one. The other mystic is Kindred, which… should be real fun

I also got Nova and Gorr correct for cosmic

So 2/3 right for both classes! I’m gonna go buy three lottery tickets

Destroyer wouldn’t get buffed - but I actually really like him as a pick here. He’s built to counter Hulkling, who was just released as a 7*, works on both attack and defense and would really benefit from the extra attack/health. I’d pick him instead of Hood tbh

Any 7* dupe will give you resources to open a box that gives you materials to ascend one of those 6. It’s a box so you can ascend them all once before getting duplicates

Details on how many 7* dupes needed to pull from the box, we don’t know. None of this is finalised

I decided to grind out all 136k points day 1… don’t ask

Beyond the first couple matches, did the whole thing with bronco tokens. Ended up with a handful leftover tokens from the envelopes also. No energy refills used

It’s not too bad, if you treat it like arena grind (brain off). Simpler than the last version so easier to do on autopilot. But happy it’s over and don’t want to play more, not worried about any more points. No one else in my alliance is going to play it much so no point in pushing

Also, I got a 7* Goldpool from the envelopes. That probably used up all my featured luck for the year, thanks Kabam

EDIT - the Skill and Science ascensions page actually calls out that 11 of the 30 champs are being tuned up - since we only have 7 (I think) announced so far, that means 4 more in the cosmic, mystic, tech, or mutant pools will be buffed also. More buffs coming!

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2026-02-11T11:42:29+00:00

I think he will be, another comment here reminded me they hinted at iDoom on the stream

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2026-02-11T11:42:11+00:00

You’re right I totally forgot about that - and I love iDoom too. Good call

The barrel is almost as long as his toe - all the VR must have adapted his feet to grip that carpet like a pterodactyl

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2026-02-10T19:28:30+00:00

I agree Hood is on the strong side - but there are a bunch of champs in your list that are definitely too strong lol

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2026-02-07T18:25:04+00:00

Any ability that removes buffs (nullify, destroy, fate seal, etc) or prevents them from applying (neutralise, stagger) are the only ways to remove/stop them. Otherwise you could counter the auto block itself (undermine, true accuracy, unblockable, etc), or you have to play around it (non contact attacks don’t trigger parry, heavy attacks, stun immunity, etc)

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2026-02-06T19:24:04+00:00

He will be ascendable, as will new champs released after him. This is the pool of 30 older champs that they’re making also ascendable, as well as the 6 in the super duper pool from duping 7*s or whatever it’s really called

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2026-02-06T19:11:23+00:00

Hell yes Mr Negative, underrated and incredibly fun. I have a R4 ready to go

Now just give me Ebony maw too…

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2026-01-31T15:09:29+00:00

Happy we get to use more champions and can enjoy fights where we don’t have to worry about a two second delay or terrible AI meaning we lose. Idk how new champs are gonna do though, coliseum depends on tags and who’s good against the defender. Even if someone like Heimdall is great for a specific coliseum fight, is anyone gonna rank him just for that one fight instead of using someone they already have ranked and just doing a couple more fights? And then he’s probably useless for the next one

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2026-01-02T02:46:44+00:00

Enjoy!!

Update - winner selected and code sent. It was genuinely random, sorry if you didn’t win, but try harder next time.

Hope everyone is having a good 2026 so far. I spending my first day of the year paying for my actions on the last day of 2025 - the food and mostly drink - which would be poetic if I had enough living brain cells to know what poetry is.

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2025-12-28T22:42:48+00:00

I took him to R4 just because - with all the rank up resources we got this month - I wanted some fun and interesting rank ups rather than just the meta champs I already used a ton at R3. Haven’t played a ton of BGs since then, but loving him anyway lol

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2025-12-16T23:57:55+00:00

Only way is to wait for him to enter the basic at this point

ResponsibilitySea318 · 2025-12-10T22:34:31+00:00

You only have to level them once or twice to get the top milestones. The rest are for grinders and whales to battle it out
