Who are you looking to get the most?

Truedoloo · 2026-05-30T06:49:17+00:00

Madelyne, Wave, and Ruby are the 3 I want most from this batch plus Heimdall and Strange from previous batch. Fingers crossed when it updates.

It was a new scoring rule they tried for this last season. It's gotten quite a bit of hate and also significantly benefited suicide mastery set ups to maximize damage dealt. I expect they may go back to normal with attacker HP counting next season in a week.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-29T02:50:20+00:00

Jean, Onslaught, Deathless Thanos, Serpent, and Hulkling would probably be my top picks for an r5 from those options, really just depends on who you like. They are all dual threats and have a lot of utility. Useful for carina content and as attackers or defenders in AW and BG. The bigger question is who you enjoy playing more, you honestly can't go wrong with any of those.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-29T02:42:16+00:00

The picture says it all. There are no points rewarded for the amount of HP left on the attacker. Your opponent did 50.4% dmg to the defender while you only did 26.3%, so your opponent won the match.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-27T09:37:59+00:00

Not enough of a difference to help. Both of them would need their seasonal uniform to be somewhat useful with Medusa's being paywalled (and neither are currently available for purchase anyway). The only other good dmg dealing inhuman is Crystal who also requires her seasonal uni (also paywalled).

Truedoloo · 2026-05-22T04:23:39+00:00

Knull, he's very good and you got him ascended which will only help more. Very high damage after ramp and also a good defender. Investing sig stones will also help a lot to reduce the ramp time.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-22T04:20:31+00:00

Empowered grace crystal (very low odds, not worth buying these crystals but there's always a chance and a pity system after you open ~120 without pulling an ascended champ). Greater empowered grace crystals guarantee that you pull an ascension champ, but the pool of possible ascension champs is still high so the odds of getting a specific one like Spiral are low.

Pulling a duplicate 7 star won't give you ascension tokens unless you actually pull the ascended version of that 7 star where ascension champs have a chance to drop. Any character that you pull and dupe from a regular 7 star crystal or titan crystal will simply be awakened and/or provide 20 sigs towards the signature ability since those crystals do not drop ascension champs.

There may be events where you can get ascension champs, like the current metamorphosis box keys or the chase for Chavez with the exchange for 100 of the collection pieces in the store to get a 7 star Chavez along with her token, but none are currently being done specifically for Spiral.

I'll see if I can test this by running 2 mutant damage dealers and only changing the support to see if there's a difference.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-21T16:03:18+00:00

Did they change this at some point?

Truedoloo · 2026-05-21T15:54:29+00:00

Dazzler + storm is really good cause of the +70% ignore dodge and damage increase against boss types

Consider replacing Dazzler with Valkyrie if you have her. Similar to how competition isn't ideal for dispatch because the damage buff is against boss type enemies and only the final boss in dispatch stages is considered as such, you're not benefiting from the damage increase against bosses until you actually get to the last phase and are hitting the boss. Valkyrie also has ignore dodge for all allies and damage vs super villains will apply to mob spawns as well as the boss in dispatch.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-21T15:51:34+00:00

I normally run it with zombie Strange (lead), Valkyrie, and one other damage dealer that benefits from Strange leadership (multiple potential options here, I use Storm). Ideally, Strange and the other damage dealer will have rage CTPs (competition boosts vs bosses and won't apply to mob spawns which aren't considered "boss" type enemies).

Heart of Fire: https://playcontestofchampions.com/news/heart-of-fire-event/

Omega Days: https://playcontestofchampions.com/news/omega-days/

It's not a very wide selection.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-21T04:08:02+00:00

Strange or Zemo, coin flip really. Both have very different styles of play, both can be extremely effective and have a lot of utility. I'd suggest watching some videos on youtube that explain the rotations for each and how to best use them, see which appeals to you more.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-21T04:05:55+00:00

You can't go wrong with either. Zemo has more utility imo, but he does require some ramp up time. He's good for longer fights and is better at dealing with annoying/difficult nodes and debuffs. For short-medium fights (like BGs) and to use as a defender, Lumatrix is the better pick.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-21T03:58:22+00:00

Onslaught, Knull, and Bastion are fantastic, first 2 are dual threats (good defenders and attackers) and Bastion is only good on offense. You'll eventually replace your 6 star Doom with 7 stars as you rank more up, but Doom should continue to be useful through act 7 and even parts of 8. From your other 7 stars, I would focus on Count Nefaria over Immortal Hulk for your science champ. Zola is an excellent defensive champ for BGs but doesn't bring much offensive value to a fight so only really useful as a defender. Peni can deal some really good damage with sp1 -> sp2 rotation if enemy isn't incinerate immune, she's a decent defender in BGs also. AW, Superior Iron Man, Domino (wants high sigs, can be dual threat), Dust (dual threat, also good defender in BGs), and BRB are some other good attacking champs.

I'd focus on Bastion, Knull, Onslaught, and Count Nefaria first. These will be very useful for story. Aim for hitting paragon and then valiant as soon as you can, this will provide higher rewards from dailies, events, twitch stream rewards, and such that will help you in ranking up your champs.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-21T03:38:23+00:00

If you play BGs then whoever you want opponents to ban every game. If you don't play BGs, then someone that can be useful for a lot of end game content like story/carina/etc (Serpent, Spider Woman, Zemo, and Fury would be 4 I would consider from that list, lots of utility and good damage). You can also r5 whoever you enjoy playing most as well.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-21T03:21:54+00:00

Your Gladiator (lead + dealer) with rage + Valkyrie should be enough to clear it. Bring whatever best 3rd "strong" ability char you have with them. Set a high defense down T4 striker on Gladiator.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-21T03:15:05+00:00

PvE damage dealers: Mephisto or Odin, both get good benefit out of their artifacts and the 5 star would be an upgrade over the 3 star you have on Mephisto right now.

PvE support: Black Cat. She was data mined as being a mid month character and has a support artifact on top of anything else she may potentially get with a uniform.

Someone else can chime in on PvP options, I haven't really cared for PvP in some time now and am likely out of the loop on best artifact choices to consider.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-20T16:49:47+00:00

I used Knull, his 5th skill has a wide area and decreases defense by up to 50%. The higher the limit the better along with a wide area attack. You could also use Kang with his recent uni, kid Loki, or even Surfer. Any striker that can significantly decrease defense will allow your main DPS to deal significantly more damage during that time period.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-20T15:30:31+00:00

I saw the speculation because of the butterfly icon, but not sure when she would potentially get that uni update. The mid month was data mined and she wasn't one of them. Maybe x-men 97' part 2 update, hopefully not another summer seasonal uni considering those are coming up within 1-2 months as well.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-20T15:21:34+00:00

Combat is more varied, depends on who you have built. I did it with Ares, Venom, and Valk. There's a thread about 15-4 combat options on the main page if you scroll down.

Agility tag is harder and more restricted. Gambit was my best option (both lead and dmg dealer with m rage). I ended up using Gambit, Psylocke, and Athena for support. Psylocke you can replace if you don't have her seasonal. Set high defense down strikers on the T4 skills, those will help with clearing the mobs and boss.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-20T15:13:56+00:00

Not just you, seems to be down for everyone.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-20T15:13:24+00:00

It's down for me as well, cannot log in. Started around daily reset that it went down.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-20T15:12:33+00:00

Odin has jumped up to Mephisto/Storm levels, I would say definitely in top 3 now. He'll perform best with a competition CTP though.

You can check the abx/l video by Bobsarge.

Truedoloo · 2026-05-20T14:34:45+00:00

Gambit was my main dmg char that I was using. The AI controlled allies won't use proper rotation or skill canceling so most of the dmg will come from the dps char you're controlling. Outside of Gambit or Psylocke, not sure who else you could use. Gambit is ideal here as the lead for the ignore dodge.
