Chapter Guide – Act 4.1.6 – Trust – Level 41

Summoners!

Here’s my guide for Act 4.1.6 “Trust” in Marvel Contest of Champions.

General Thoughts:

There 9 paths and a ton of hidden nodes, so this quest takes a while to 100% explore. The worst hidden defenders are Magik and Electro.

During my time in Act 4.1.6 I brought my 5-Star Captain America Infinity War to Rank 4, making him my first 5-Star Rank 4. I also duped my 5-Star Luke Cage, and he should be quite valuable going forward. Other rank-ups included Killmonger and Aarkus to Rank 5 as 4-Stars. Finally, I put 20 4-Star Signature Stones into Black Widow Deadly Origin, which returned her to the top of my profile.

I gained 2 Mastery points, 1 for reaching Level 41 and the other for 100% Exploration of Act 4.1. I unlocked Pacify and Mystic Dispersion with these points.
