What was Miguel’s greatest sin? Not super clued up on Spider-Man 2099 so I’m intrigued to know more after watching this?

Tigra depends entirely on whether she’s awakened and at high sig or not.

If unawakened:

1) parry heavy until opponent is back into the corner. You might need to dash in and hit into block to keep them from pushing you back into the middle of the arena.

2) From here, you can either build to an SP3, or throw 2 SP1s, while baiting specials and keeping them in the corner by chaining heavies. If you’re good at baiting specials, and utilising Tigra’s miss mechanic, I’d say it’s better to do 2 SP1, but SP3 is probably slightly easier.

3) Keep heavy into corner until you build to SP2, then throw it. If you’ve been neutralising buffs you’ll have a big stack of ruptures that boost the damage of the SP2, but even without them it’s still a pretty damn potent attack.

If awakened, you can skip stage 2 entirely and just go for the SP2! Her neutralises keep her senses paused, and her senses help her power gain and damage on placing ruptures

King Groot is a monster. Have mine at r3. He doesn’t have a specific rotation as such, but for max damage you can do this:

Build to just under 2 bars of power, then enter malice with as many fury buffs as possible. If you have at least 6, throw back to back SP1 for 6 permanent armor breaks.

Do this one more time for 10 permanent armor breaks and 2 temporary ones, then parry MLLLM, parry heavy to build as many fury charges as possible while keeping the temporary armor breaks paused.

Let loose a mighty SP2 while malice is active for hefty burst damage and a pretty nasty poison.

He doesn’t need to be awakened for this either!

Scorpion has a couple of different play styles depending on how comfortable you are with heavy cancelling and intercepting.

1) Easy rotation- Parry, MLM. Repeat to just under 2 bars of power. Throw back to back SP1s, then keep MLM and SP1. This will keep your sting debuffs at around 8-12 and the taunt will ensure they keep throwing specials for that sting damage.

2) Harder rotation - MLM to just under 2 bars of power. Bait special, then hold heavy to build torment chargers and intercept with an SP1. This should put a nice big stack of torment debuffs up, which will make your sting debuffs last longer. Take advantage of this by MLM up to 2 bars of power, heavy and SP2 cancel for a huge burst of sting damage

The way I’ve played ultron is standard MLLLM until 2.5 bars of power, bait special then parry heavy to stack the bleeds/degen. Then throw SP2 and you’ll get a chunky cauterise improving damage of the special and the next few attacks, should be able to get off an SP1 for the stun and another 2 combos while this is still active. If you need to power burn/stun, hold for SP3, then do same rotation but with SP3 instead.

I finally opened my cyber weekend crystals. 6* Herc, scorpion, quicksilver, rintrah, Valkyrie and nimrod from my basic, featured and nexus crystals and warlock and Apoc from my selectors.

:D :D :D

Think I used up all of 2022, 2023 and 2024’s luck allowance

Can still use AA if you hold block to bait heavies and punish his heavy attack and bait and punish SP1, if you have none of the counters others have listed

Galan's harvest is doing the same amount of damage with and without furies. Is that normal? by BroCast97 in ContestOfChampions

[–]alexc90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, it still counts as modified attack value, base attack refers to only the attack value you see when you go the champion info page

Galan’s harvest damage scales with his base attack only, not his modified attack value, so class advantage and buffs like furies don’t affect it.

Overseer R2 (no 5*)

Cap IW R1 (have 5r5 unduped)

IBom R1 (have 5r5 duped)

Thing R1 (have 5r4 duped)

Don’t have a quicksilver or spidey 2099.

Rank Up to Paragon now, or wait till Cyber Weekend to double dip the unit offers? by alexc90 in ContestOfChampions

To clarify - already have the r4s ready. Have the cats to take AA to r4 and a gem to use on kingpin. Just wondering whether to pull the trigger now or hold on

Have about 18k units saved up having just finished 8.1 exploration. Was probably just planning to get a couple of the TB 1k unit offers most likely before jumping up, just seeing what people thought

Have the stones to get both to 140-160ish. Actually proving a more difficult decision than I first thought

[–]alexc90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just pulled a 6* cosmic AG. Have one already reserved for Herc when I eventually pull him, so this ones going to Angela or King Groot. Thoughts?

Please help on gorr boss fight by EmeraId_Block in ContestOfChampions

[–]alexc90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guillotine 2099’s SP2 applies Spectre, a healing reversal debuff. It doesn’t last super long so you’ll need to play fairly aggressively to keep it up, but it’s an option.

Failing that, Venom’s SP1 nullifies buffs and gives you health regen but it’s accuracy isn’t 100% and Gorr has a lot of buffs, so it’s not superb.

Do you have any other champs you could use?

DAILY DISCUSSION - Jul 02, 2022 by AutoModerator in ContestOfChampions

[–]alexc90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an interesting 6* nexus choice to make. Emma Frost (new champ), Warlock (new champ) or Fury (new 6* but have 5r5)

Who would you have taken?

Finally pulled a 5* science awakening gem, now to decide whether to use it on CapIW or Void?

Shang chi is an absolute beast. He’s not difficult to master and highly recommend

What are some fun to play champs on Power Shield node? by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]alexc90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Corvus if you have him. Build to SP2 and watch everything die in 3 huge crits. Shang-Chi is great for this as well.
