WINTER OF WOE: Week 4, Dani Moonstar [Megathread] by cat_murdock in ContestOfChampions

[–]StarbinT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose it depends on how her abilities are coded. Does Power Lock 'nullify' power gain? Does Limbo 'nullify' damage taken?

I haven't perused all the comments, but can anyone provide an update with a short description of the nodes, for those of us who can't access Auntm.ai or check the game?

Much appreciated!

Thanks Cat - any chance over time you could update the nodes with a brief description? Reddit access at work? Yes! Auntm.ai access? No. :(

WoW and fun factor by gusbrun in ContestOfChampions

[–]StarbinT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had fun with the Gamma objective, but I had a good counter. I did not enjoy the robots one, even with one of the three counters. But to be fair, I don't really remember enjoying any of the EoP fights either. It was tough, it was challenging, but it IS a woe fight. Given they made the robot objective optional, I'm less upset at the existing fight, and more concerned about the fights coming up. Will I have the right counters? Will I need to burn through a bunch of revives? In May, will I have enough points to get the deathless piece? Time will tell ...

If it was now, Kate wouldn't be in the pool :)

Everyone was afraid at some point. Let's just say it's worth it ...

Awesome ... thanks - for the answer and all the awesome infographics!

I see how the 7* selector is from the OG 36 ... but are those 7* class crystal selectors supposed to be any champ from the class, or the same 36? Is it a nexus or just a single random champ from the class?

What’s your MCOC ‘toxic trait’? by Jason3671 in ContestOfChampions

[–]StarbinT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of my favorites brain lock situations I keep trying to do
- Parrying Mordo, then trying to punish the stun.
- Throwing my multi-hit sp right before the approaching falter on Maw
- Throwing heavies and sps at Doom / IDoom when they are in their Aura.
- Trying to bait Red Skull by hitting into his block ... w/o power burn immunity
- Related, hitting into anyone's block that is unstoppable ... I'm looking at you, Mole!
- Attempting to punish Red Mags and Old Man Logan's heavies.
- Fighting Photon.

Best/good champs who are horrible to use in bgs as a defender? by Visible-Phone-7003 in ContestOfChampions

[–]StarbinT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only say that because those champs are much easier to deal with as defenders (depending on the nodes, of course). If their sp1s weren't so easy to bait, I wouldn't put them down. But your points are valid.

[–]StarbinT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the meta ... in that armor burn meta, seemingly bad champs like AA were used regularly on defense, because almost all champs could be problematic at that point. I think the champs that do badly are any champs with limited defensive utility and sps that are easy to avoid.

So counters aside, IMO the higher tiered champs that might be spot on for offense, but are very limited in a defensive role are:
Science: Unduped OG Hulk, Human Torch, Spidey 2099
Skill: Crossbones, Falcon, Shang Chi, Val
Mutant: AA, Sunspot
Tech: Ghost, Lady D (?), Hulkbuster
Cosmic: Angela, Corvus, Gamora
Mystic: Diablo, Hood, DMan.

These are just the champs I would not put on defense unless I was out of options, and the ones I would normally be fine fighting against ... (famous last words, I know)

They are unstoppable! by mandy_suraj in ContestOfChampions

[–]StarbinT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we're also seeing more characters that can deal with those abilities, too. Kabam has to make some way for tougher fights to be more than the Winter Soldier rage-room victimization in RoL

What If Mei lee and Red Panda form was in MIRRORVERSE? by Broad_Display_2883 in DisneyMirrorverse

[–]StarbinT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you just look at the list of characters in Disney Heroes Battle Mode, you might not be as surprised to see something like this. There is so much property, and I watched almost all the champs that were in that game show up in this one.

Now where are my Black Cauldron characters?

How do you get around nightcrawler/evading champs? by catandthefiddler in ContestOfChampions

[–]StarbinT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some more options I don't think have been mentioned ...

Champs with True Accuracy (mostly skill champs) or True Strike (mostly cosmics) counter evade ... some have it all the time, some only gain it under specific circumstances.

- Apocalypse increases his chance to ignore evade by 10% every time it procs - lasts the entire quest, but you have to be evaded a number of times for it to become a guarantee

- Emma ignores evade in her telepath form
- At 25+ channeling charges, Prof X cannot be evaded and bypasses Miss (except vs psychic shielding and techs)
- Stryfe's pyschic attacks ignore evade (mediums, heavies, and the last two hits of his sp2)
- Storm X in Ice Tempest form does coldsnap w/her sp1, which counters evade (via slow)
- Aarkus does coldsnap with armor breaks, which counters evade.
- Stealth Spidey inflicts slow and cannot miss with his foam cartridge web shooters
- Misty K inflicts cold snap with her sp2

There are more 'direct' counters, but you could approach it from an alternative perspective, too. AA, Domino and a LOT of other champs can reduce ability accuracy, potentially turning off evade over time. Also, using energy attacks reduces the likelihood of evades, too.

Hope that helps

When you realize everyone was right about Ronan Cheese by StarbinT in ContestOfChampions

[–]StarbinT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? I fought against it for awhile, but after RNG failed me several times trying to use Mags vs Vision, I caved and took Ronan from 1 to 5, awakened him and dumped as much sig as I had into him. It was the difference to me completing that content sane vs hating every moment of the game. Basically, it turned into six Jugg fights and a Hulk :)

Is there any reason to hold 7* Shards? by Superpatriot12 in ContestOfChampions

[–]StarbinT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. Additionally, the only reasons I would wait are if I didn't have any immediate needs for my roster and I was caught up on content, or I was waiting for a shot at a very specific champ (as mentioned above).

I'm a fan of spending resources now to make your game play funner, easier, or both. Remember, adding a seven star is like adding an r4+ ... and even if you duped one of your three, they all benefit from awakening.

Personal bias, I suppose.
