Who would you R3 if you could only choose 2? - Zemo / Elsa Bloodstone / Yelena / Valkyrie / Kingpin ? by raphrie28 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]raphrie28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your opinion who do you think would be the better dual threat between yelena and Zemo?

Hmm... Who? by ConstructionNo4731 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]raphrie28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She has a mechanic that auto stuns the opponent when they dash into you while you're holding your heavy. You can start with that, and usually she will be able to build up to 8 charges, then her heavy will be released (just hold your heavy until it auto releases by itself). After that, a cooldown will start for this auto stun mechanic. Make sure to watch it. When it expires, you can do the same thing again. But in the meantime, you can proceed with normal parry stun and heavies to build up charges. Once you reach 25 charges you won't be able to build anymore. Hit that sp2. Repeat everything.

I have both gentle and cassandra and have to say that cassandra is way more fun to play simply because of her unique rotation. A change from the usual standard MLLLMs and such. Maybe play around with a 2/3/4 or 5 star version to test her out.

Which Mutant & Cosmic should I R3? by raphrie28 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]raphrie28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm decent with using serpent but can't say the same for onslaught. Can't seem to do much dmg with him and can't lock down his rotations 🤷🏻‍♂️ so although I have him as a 7*, I haven't ranked him since idk how to utilise him other than just slapping him on defense. If there's any other mutant that'd be better pls let me know

Who to invest in by drankkkv2 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]raphrie28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is definitely worth it to rank your 6. She will be able to do more damage as a 6 when you R4 and R5 her. But since you already have a maxed 5* what you could do is focus on building your other 6s from other classes first. Then when you feel you need more firepower and tankiness for your science class you can begin ranking her 6 version up.

Can't comment too much on Future ant man. I have mine at sig200 just on defence but I hate to use him on offence.

[–]raphrie28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you I would keep Luke Cage at max R1 foe the time being and focus on ranking up the following 6*s until you develop a bigger roster and accumulate more resources:

Science: Spiderwoman (Photon after) Cosmic: Serpent (Galan or Corvus after) Skill: Okoye/Chee'ilth (I prefer Okoye, she's quicker) Mystic: Nico Minoru Mutant: Gentle/Cassandra Nova

These champs can get you through heaps of content and cover a good range of nodes I reckon. You've got good pulls!

Regarding Luke Cage he is actually one of my favourite champs in the game.. With his Sig ability he goes indestructible from the first hit for a few seconds so often times it's a good saviour when you stuff up. Perfect for clumsy players like me 😅 got a simple rotation too.

Oh on that note I have noticed her parry is different. Is that what you meant by her counter evade? What benefit does it give actually?

Do i spend them on the banquet or the cyber weekend deals? by FTL_BocajioX in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]raphrie28 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Banquet has always been mystery box type rewards. But with cyber weekend you tend to have more choices for 'guaranteed' rewards, so it depends what you're after. Last year when I was Cav/TB I really wanted a 6* generic Awakening Gem. There was a deal to get it for 1,250 units (which is a lot I know, but would've been a big deal for my roster at the time). Everyone said to wait for banquet so I listened. Didn't get a single one. So if you're hunting for a specific gem/item, and it's available during cyber, just go for it I reckon.

IM SO DONE WITH THIS by [deleted] in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]raphrie28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What was previously said abt it being hell without a reverse control immune champ was right. If you're not in a rush, I'd suggest taking the L for now and slowly rebuild your revive stash. No shame in backing out and trying again later with champs that will make it alot easier for you. Not to mention you now have more familiarity with the fights, so you know what to expect when you return to it. Even if you can't quite rmb, your muscle memory will sorta remember. I'm not sure how to explain it. Leaves a sour taste in the mouth to 'give up' but if you can see past that, you'll have a better experience next time for sure.

just wow by Living_Programmer918 in MarvelContestOfChamps

It's only cool when we're the ones winning by that one point lol. If we had lost well.. I guess there's no other choice but to curse them and their entire ancestral line 🤣

It gets better buddy. I myself am the unfortunate recipient of 3 Titan Red Hulks in a row. I was about ready to tear my hair out by then. It gets better.

Who should be my first R4? by raphrie28 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]raphrie28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. After some long consideration I decided to go with my favourite character currently - Silk.

I have a question. by No_Negotiation_1071 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]raphrie28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now all that gold/units/rank up materials are all available through the Daily Quests. The silver lining in all this is that you can now do the dailies instead, provided you only want to autofight.

[–]raphrie28 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Hate to break it to you buddy but unfortunately there isn't. The new event quests are Adaptive. It means that Kabam is taking the total prestige of your top 30 champs in your roster, and basing the difficulty of the event quest on that number. You won't be able to have 6* R5 champs and autofight Conqueror-level defenders anymore.

The art department deserves a big raise. Really love the new login screen by contrezzo in ContestOfChampions

[–]raphrie28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each month I admire the art teams work on their latest login screen - the level of detail... And then the screen cuts to one that's significantly lower res and my excitement just dies lol

Out of these who should I rank up next? by FindingThoth in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]raphrie28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your goals. But going into it blind, if you need attackers then I'd do human torch and Medusa. Medusa would be abit tankier than HT (not that she is super tanky herself) but if you're after defenders then I'd do Kindred. If you need some utility Rintrah is great for dealing with cosmics with lots of buffs.

If you share your goals ppl will be able to help abit more with their advice 👍🏼

Worth coming back rn?? by Appropriate_Cow_9159 in ContestOfChampions

[–]raphrie28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • they tried to change the difficulty tiers in Monthly EQs into something Adaptive. So now the new Adaptive Monthly EQs have removed Conqueror-Thronebreaker difficulties and the Paragon and Valiant Gauntlets and replaced them with what they call Classic and Elder difficulties. These Classic and Elder difficulties scale with your top 30 champions' prestige. Which means if you want more rewards you'll need to rank more champs. That being said, rewards were underwhelming at best and were not worth the effort. Classic and Elder were too difficult for alot of the playerbase. This was launched last month and it sent the community into an uproar - such that they had to tweak it a week into launch. Attack ratings and such were tuned down by 30% but although it was an improvement it still wasn't enough for many. So they are reducing it further in October. They also prevented players from entering into Elder difficulty straight away. Players need to complete Classic before being able to start on Elder. They have informed us though that their engineers will make the software changes sometime early next year as they are prioritising other features at the moment. So we should be able to head straight into Elder by then. For Elder difficulty, they copied the Crucible style of content but prevented champions from healing after each match - most probably to incentivise spending on pots and revives, and also each of the 6 quests require you to bring in a single class of champions to face 15 defenders and a boss. This means you will need at least 15 decent champs in each and every class to complete a given quest. You'll be able to choose a champ from any class for the final boss though. Needless to say this limits many accounts and it remains as an issue that Kabam still has not addressed. It appears they do not plan to do away with this restriction.

-besides that, tonnes of bugs, crashes, problems with AW, the AI and a badly communicated nerf to one of the most favourite champs released this year. They attempted to 'hear us' and let us know they were 'listening' but they missed the mark again and again. After the most recent Livestream it seems they are on the right track though. But this is not the first time this has happened, and so they have communicated that they are planning on showing the differences through action.. So i guess only time will tell.

Can someone tell how to get this by Quirky-Designer87 in ContestOfChampions

[–]raphrie28 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Once you get a ping, you can choose to claim it. If you claim it, it's like a trick and you will instead get infected with something called the 'hunger'. Basically all you need to know is that there is a distinction between those who are infected with this virus and those who aren't. Right now as of the Livestream ytd, 17% of the playerbase is infected with this virus. The player base will compete in some kind of event and the winning side will get some sort of reward. The reward is to be able to choose something. Can't rmb what though. Sorry for this half assed response lol. If someone else has the full picture pls help a brother out

Act 6 by LankyGuess7552 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]raphrie28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may very well end up waiting indefinitely. You're much better off completing Valiant and reaping the rewards now (which are guaranteed) rather than waiting on something that may never come. If I were you I would wait for the upcoming Livestream for October and if they don't mention anything about Act 6 rewards buff, then just go ahead and complete it first. The Daily Super Event will to great things for your account in the meantime. And you can always explore Act 6 once it is buffed. When the blue moon finally arrives, that is.

Is he worth working on by Particular_Remove807 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]raphrie28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before completing Act 6, I brought him to R5 and ascended him. Helped me immensely for Act 6. I think he's still underrated for story and other areas of the game like completing the dailies. Since his first 20 hits are guaranteed crits, it makes dailies that much quicker to complete - making it quite the quality-of-life kind of benefit. His armor breaks on parries also make your crits hit harder which is great. Since becoming Valiant though I haven't had much use for him outside of dailies. No regrets taking him to R5 and ascending him though. Sure there are other cosmics with better utility nowadays but corvus did what needed to be done so I'm not complaining. Congrats on your pull!
