Summoners!
Here’s my guide for Act 1.2.1 “Threats” in Marvel Contest of Champions.

General Thoughts:
This is the first chapter where you will encounter a Class Gate. You will need a Mutant Champion on your quest team to pass the gate and 100% the map. This is also your first encounter with the Adaptoids, which have borrowed moves from assorted champions in the Contest. The Adaptoids do have Special 2 attacks active.
During my exploration of Act 1.2.1 I reached Level 8, unlocking another Mastery Point. This can be used for max out Parry.
