Chapter Guide – Act 1.4.6 – Malice – Act 1 is 100%

Summoners!

Here’s my guide for Act 1.4.6 “Malice” in Marvel Contest of Champions.

General Thoughts:

It’s the final quest of Act 1! Initial completion of 1.4.6 will grant you the Challenger title. While that particular title isn’t a huge deal, later titles like Proven, Conqueror, Uncollected, and Cavalier have a big impact on your Daily Crystal rewards, Login Calendars, and the offers you’re allowed to buy in the store.

I also reached Level 21 during my Exploration of 1.4.6. Ideally I would have unlocked Recovery with that Mastery Point, but Recovery costs 6 Stony Cores, so I decided to add a point to Block Proficiency while I save up my units.

I did an opening following my 1.4.4-1.4.6 run, with the big pulls being 4-Star Vulture from a PHC, 4-Star Mole Man, and 4-Star Hulk Ragnarok from a 4-Star Nexus (sorry Joe Fixit). My account had a total of five 4-Star heroes at the end of Act 1.

The quest itself is nothing to worry about, as the defenders here actually present less of a challenge than those in Act 1.4.5.

Tips: Yondu can cause a bleed through your block, so be careful if you are not using a Bleed-Immune champion. Also, if you are going to parry Yondu, you need to have him run at you from a distance. If you are close to him, his first attack will be with his Yaka Arrow, and there are only a few champs that can Parry-Stun a projectile attack.
