6 Year Roster and Progression Update – February 14, 2021

Summoners!

Wow, I’ve been playing Marvel Contest of Champions for 6 years! Let’s see how much progress I’ve made since my last account update in mid-November.

Champions – 680 (+40)
PI – 1,709,380 (+165,775)
Prestige – 10,689 (+0)
(increase over the past 3 months)

In the last three months I achieved the Thronebreaker title, with Captain Marvel Movie entering my profile as my first Rank 3 6-Star Champion. Because she is unduped, my Prestige hasn’t moved. I was Cavalier at the time of Cyber Weekend and was really banking on those deals containing items that would help raise my Prestige, but they weren’t helpful for Cavalier players pushing Thronebreaker. I’ve also been spinning 6-Star Featured Crystals in hopes of landing (and duping) a champion that can raise my Prestige like Dragon Man, Apocalypse, or Cosmic Ghost-Rider, but so far I’ve struck out. My Prestige is close to the maximum limit achievable with only 5-Stars. Silver Surfer is the only 5-Star that would make a real impact.

I now have 38 6-Stars, up from 28 last update. Captain Marvel Movie moved from Rank 2 to Rank 3, but I don’t have any new Rank 2 6-Stars. As of now, I don’t have any 6-Stars that I plan on ranking-up. If I dupe Vision AoU, Thor Ragnarok, Phoenix, Night Thrasher, Kingpin, Gambit, or Red Goblin I would consider investing more in those champions. As you can see from my duped Green Goblin, my luck with the 6-Star Featured Crystals has not been great so far.

Because I have been unable to pull and dupe high value 6-Stars I have continued to build my 5-Star roster. I now have 33 Rank 5s, up from 27 three months ago. The 6 new champs are OG Vision, Proxima Midnight, Psylocke, Archangel, Black Widow Deadly Origin, and Quake. I also just brought Magneto to Rank 5, but I haven’t leveled him up yet.

I am really happy with these rank-ups. I’ve been playing a ton of Archangel in Act 7 and Cavalier EQ. Proxima Midnight and Psylocke have helped shore up my Map 7 teams. OG Vision has been good for the new Cavalier Tech node. Black Widow DO and Quake I haven’t used much, but I believe they will be useful when I circle back to Act 6.

I now have 19 4/55 5-Star champions, down from 21 last update. My new Rank 4s are Ultron Classic, Claire Voyant, and Captain America Infinity War.

Because of the relative lack of Tier 2 Alpha, I have mostly focused on my moving existing pool of Rank 4s up to Rank 5 so that any excess Tier 5 Basic doesn’t expire. I need to get into Variant 6 to acquire another round of 3-4 Rank Up Gems to increase my Rank 4 roster. I’m hopeful there will be more quality buffs to 2015-2017 champs to make these gems more valuable.

Top 5 Most Wanted (5* or 6*)
Aegon – Abyss
Silver Surfer – Prestige
Apocalypse – For Horsemen
Spider-Ham – Fun/Degen Counter
Cosmic Ghost-Rider – Damage/Prestige

I didn’t pull anyone off my last Top 5 list. Aegon continues to avoid me in the Dual Class crystals (I believe I’ve opened 43 so far), and until I pull him I can’t begin the “Search for Silver Surfer.”

Kabam has released 2 important pieces of permanent content over the past 3 months: Variant 6 and Act 7.1. I’ve been focused on 100% Exploration of 7.1, and once that is done, hopefully in the next month, I will move on to 100% Variant 6. With the Act 7.2 Beta currently running, I expect we’ll see that content in late spring. If I explore both 7.1 and Variant 6 before 7.2 is released, I’ll return to Act 6.2.

For alliance play, I’m currently in STARS, which runs AQ 7×5 and earns four 2% T5cc a week with Gold 1 wars.

Total Account Spend: $473 USD (+$53 past 3 months)
