Chapter Guide – Act 2.1.6 – Thanos Ascendant – Level 24

Summoners!

Here’s my guide for Act 2.1.6 “Thanos Ascendant” in Marvel Contest of Champions.

General Thoughts:

Note: Act 2 defenders have been updated. I believe you’ve seen most of the new additions before, but this may be your first time facing Joe Fixit (bait his SP2) and Venom The Duck (bait his SP1).

The defenders’ PI is starting to creep up a bit, but all the fights are very basic so they shouldn’t provide much of a challenge. I reached Level 24, and added my 4th and final point to Block Proficiency during exploration of 2.1.6.

I used this chapter to test out Black Widow Deadly Origin. I’m not a huge fan of her animations. Her attacks feel rather clunky, particularly the initial double-medium and long special attacks, but I have to admit the damage is there. Act 2 defenders were not built to withstand the Shock Debuffs she is dishing out.
