Chapter Guide – Act 1.4.5 – Wrath – Level 20

Summoners!

Here’s my guide for Act 1.4.5 “Wrath” in Marvel Contest of Champions.

General Thoughts:

As with 1.4.4, we’re starting to see some more challenging defenders on the map. In this case, you have Heimdall and Spider-Gwen to deal with if you’re going to get 100% Exploration.

I reached Level 20 during my Exploration of Act 1.4.5, and was able to add another point to Greater Strength.

Best Champs: Any

Restrictions: Need 1 Tech & 1 Skill

Global Node: None

Boss: Gamora

Boss Notes: None

Lane 1 – Left

Gate: None

Defenders: Angela, Black Bolt, Heimdall, Hulk Ragnarok, Captain America Infinity War

Nodes: None

Team: 3-Star Black Widow, 4-Star Sentry, 3-Colossus, 3-Star Guardian

Tips: You need to be aware of Heimdall’s True Strike ability in this fight, which can cause problems if you aren’t prepared. Whenever Heimdall launches a special attack he gains a permanent True Strike buff, which grants him a 25% chance to Auto-Block basic attacks. This means if you rush in after a special, you may get stunned. You can play it safe by waiting for Heimdall to finish his special attack, then parrying him and attacking as normal to remove the True Strike buff. You can also nullify this True Strike buff, stagger him, or use an attacker with True Strike yourself if those options are available to you. Finally, make sure you bait Heimdall’s Special 1, not his Special 2.

Lane 2 – Center Left

Gate: 1 Skill & 1 Tech

Defenders: Angela, Cosmic Adaptoid, Spider-Gwen, Heimdall, Hulk Ragnarok, Captain America Infinity War

Nodes: None

Team: 3-Star Black Widow, 4-Star Sentry, 3-Colossus, 3-Star Guardian

Tips: Spider-Gwen can auto-evade your attacks. You best options are to counter her with Venom, a champion that has a passive ability that counters evade (Night Thrasher, Emma Frost), a champion like Iceman or Elsa Bloodstone that places Coldsnap on the opponent, or to only attack her while she is stunned.

Gate: 1 Skill

Gate: None

Defenders: Angela, Hulk Ragnarok, Black Bolt, Captain America Infinity War, Kamala Khan, Science Adaptoid

Nodes: None

Team: 3-Star Black Widow, 4-Star Sentry, 3-Colossus, 3-Star Guardian

Tips: Do not attack Hulk Ragnarok while the SMASH icon is present, or you will indeed be smashed!
