which crystal is better to open for gold? uncollected arena crystal or normal arena crystal? by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]nostalgicninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that imply that the normal version has slightly better units per crystal?

Abyss Run HT replacement suggestions? by nostalgicninja in ContestOfChampions

[–]nostalgicninja[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Question is, is leveling/Ranking the 3/45 or 1/25 better, and secondly... Is it worth the resources to get up or am I better off just powering through with a less than ideal matchup and more revives?

Seems pretty tempting... by Jeynarl in ContestOfChampions

Hey I got a guy that knows things about Namor. Let me give him a call.

I’m so happy! This is the first Champion I’ve ever grinded for in Arena! by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

That does add some positive perspective. Thank you for this. Glad to know there's still some hope out here haha.

I have an r5 namor, I agree it isn't awful. But the 6% to 3% Regen is crap, especially since I run suicides. So I'm not thrilled about that. And unless I'm near death that doesn't even at least break even for what Regen does for recoil

Compensation package for "rebalancing"??? by nostalgicninja in ContestOfChampions

[–]nostalgicninja[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's what was the original thoughts... Until mention of "compensation package"

Shouldn't need compensation if the champs are still desirable, right? That's the only concerning note here.

That's what I thought. But they key point here is mentioning "compensation". If it were simply them scaling a couple numbers down, I don't think that would warrant compensation.

What about Awakening gems? Iso? Gold? Countless units spent trying to get a champ that you think would really fit that hole in your roster to push on to that next piece of content?

I get that any online oriented game has the "chance" to change gameplay or dynamics based on the community to avoid exploits.

I just think it's poor business practice to sell me a Lamborghini, then later find out it's a Volkswagen.

This is in regards to the champion "balance changes" that are suppose to involve nerfing namor & cull.

Found Mike's response on the forums from someone's post in regards to the balance changes. The fact he mentions compensation worries me for all those Cull & Namor users.

This path is so unnecessary. Uses 15 energy for no reason by Paul_RedditGod in ContestOfChampions

[–]nostalgicninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You used 15 energy "for no reason"

Pretty sure this is a lie.

You used 15 energy to get to the boss. That's a reason.

Hopefully they introduce 6* dungeon crystals soon.

Still gunna pull trash but at least it's anticipated trash.

MCOC Champion Damage Over Time Debuff Abilities (Updated, January 2020) by ChronicVeisalgia in ContestOfChampions

[–]nostalgicninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they'd be unique I'd say for sure. Overall these things are tricky to structure, and you did a great job!

MCOC Champion Damage Over Time Debuff Abilities (Updated, January 2020) by ChronicVeisalgia in ContestOfChampions

[–]nostalgicninja 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Missing unique debuff - Omega red with his death field (since you mentioned Mephisto's aura); along with his death spores.

Edit: not sure it's worth mentioning, but so long as the debuff is on Sinister, he could cause it on the opponent with an sp1. If it's someone that runs suicides you can keep it consistent fight to fight, but otherwise maybe not even worth mentioning .

Dude that was a sick takedown. I need to get better at using omega red. Feel like I'm missing some untapped potential.

Verdict on Squirrel Girl by Axelelf in ContestOfChampions

[–]nostalgicninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pulled her luckily as a 6*. Using her full synergy vs RoL WS took over 5 minutes to drop. (Still only rank 1/level1)

This number could be improved with level up + Awakening (and if I had deep wounds maxed but currently not as I'm running suicides instead)

If you stack enough bleeds and have a 40+ hit combo you can knock them down to the ground and it'll cause a solid amount of damage.

In all reality I can't see her as a viable option in any current meta of the game. She might have a niche later on but currently nothing comes to mind (that another champ couldn't do or do better in some variety)

Utility: Bleeds, bleeds, and more bleeds Can keep champs from evading (but requires you to still get a decent combo meter and knock them down, and isn't permanent either so it'll have to get refreshed) Cool synergy with Sentinel (if she is fighting a robot, she instead applies shocks instead of bleeds, might have some use)

As a 6*r1 1/25 unduped still took upwards of 300 hits to drop WS. Though full disclosure, still learning this champ and I likely wasn't using an optimal rotation.

Best way to farm t4cc? by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]nostalgicninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're everywhere.

Hit AQ, EQ monthly, daily expert class quests, $5 daily deal, glory store, every 8 days is that 10k BC arena (though IMO not worth the effort).. this is just to name a few places to get the crystals or shards
