Chapter Guide – Act 4.1.2 – A Little Help – Level 38

Summoners!

Here’s my guide for Act 4.1.2 “A Little Help” in Marvel Contest of Champions.

General Thoughts:

Act 4.1.2 features 5 straightforward paths and only 2 of them have class gates, so it’s not as confusing a map to look at as 4.1.1. The biggest problem is the auto-poison node on the mini-boss, so you need to bring a Poison-Immune champion. The mini-boss rotates between Rocket Racoon and Star-Lord.

During my run through 4.1.2 I awakened 4-Star Red Guardian from my Christmas Awakening Gem, leveled-up my Man-Thing to 5/50, and pulled 4-Star Sentinel. I also reached Level 38 and put a second point in Petrify. I’m finding the ISO gain in Act 4 much better, which is needed for ranking up 4-Star champions.

Best Champs: Any, but remember to bring a Poison-Immune Champion for the Rocket Racoon Mini-Boss.

Restrictions: Need 1 Mystic & 1 Science Champion

Global Node: None

Boss: Ant-Man

Boss Notes:
Debilitate
+50% Attack & Health

Ant-Man is a very easy boss, just bait the SP1 and you’ll be fine.


Lane 1 – Left

Gate: None

Defenders: Elektra, Rhino, War Machine, Abomination, OG Vision, Spider-Man, Rocket Racoon

Nodes: Poison (Rocket Racoon)

Team: 5-Star Captain America Infinity War, 4-Star Yondu, 4-Star Emma Frost, 4-Star Black Widow Deadly Origin, 4-Star Man-Thing

Tips: This is a long path with a few potential pitfalls in Rhino, War Machine, and OG Vision. If you’ve got a team of 4/40 of better 4-Stars you should be fine even with some mistakes. Make sure you have a Poison-Immune champion for Rocket.

Lane 2 – Left Center

Gate: None

Defenders: Black Bolt, Magneto, Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man, Rocket Racoon

Nodes: Power Drain (Magneto), Poison (Rocket Racoon)

Team: 5-Star Captain America Infinity War, 4-Star Yondu, 4-Star Emma Frost, 4-Star Black Widow Deadly Origin, 4-Star Man-Thing

Tips: I found this to be the Easy Path with no matchup issues.

Lane 3 – Center

Gate: Need 1 Science Champ

Defenders: Black Bolt, Magneto, Black Panther, Ronan, Wolverine, Yellowjacket, Star-Lord

Nodes: Power Drain (Magneto), Poison (Rocket Racoon)

Team: 5-Star Captain America Infinity War, 4-Star Yondu, 4-Star Emma Frost, 4-Star Black Widow Deadly Origin, 4-Star Man-Thing

Tips: Rocket was switched out with Star-Lord for the mini-boss here. This is still an Easy Path but it is a bit longer than Path 2.

Lane 4 – Right Center

Gate: None

Defenders: Black Bolt, Gamora, Magneto, Storm, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Wolverine, Yellowjacket, Star-Lord

Nodes: Poison (Rocket Racoon)

Team: 5-Star Captain America Infinity War, 4-Star Yondu, 4-Star Emma Frost, 4-Star Black Widow Deadly Origin, 4-Star Man-Thing

Tips: Only real issue here is Magneto if you forget to bring a non-Metal champion. Remember to check champion tags for this info if you’re not sure.

Lane 5 – Right

Gate: Need 1 Mystic Champ

Defenders: Black Bolt, Gamora, Magneto, Juggernaut, Hulk, Captain America, Daredevil, Wolverine, Yellowjacket, Rocket Racoon

Nodes: Poison (Rocket Racoon)

Team: 5-Star Captain America Infinity War, 4-Star Yondu, 4-Star Emma Frost, 4-Star Black Widow Deadly Origin, 4-Star Man-Thing

Tips: This is a long path and has a duped Juggernaut on it.
