Chapter Guide – Act 3.3.6 – Empty Threats – Level 34

Summoners!

Here’s my guide for Act 3.3.6 “Empty Threats” in Marvel Contest of Champions.

General Thoughts:

Once again, there isn’t much defender variety here. You’ve got 4 paths to run to fully explore the quest, but that shouldn’t pose a problem.

During this quest I reached Level 34 and added a 3rd Mastery Point to Perfect Block. I also brought my 4-Star Killmonger to Rank 2.

Chapter Guide – Act 3.3.5 – Supercharged – Another Juggernaut Boss

Summoners!

Here’s my guide for Act 3.3.5 “Supercharged” in Marvel Contest of Champions.

General Thoughts:

We’re back up to 4 paths here, but once again, there isn’t much new as far as the fights go. The only variety you’ll get is from the different class Adaptoids. Juggernaut is a tougher boss than Iron Fist or Star-Lord though, so make sure you understand how to deal with his Unstoppable Buff.

I didn’t Level-Up or pull any meaningful champions during my time in Act 3.3.5.

If you have questions about the basic attack moves and combos in Marvel Contest of Champions, please check out my MCOC 101: Combos guide.


Best Champs: Any

Restrictions: Need 1 Mystic & 1 Cosmic

Global Node: None

Boss: Juggernaut

Boss Notes: This is an awakened Juggernaut, so he will go Unstoppable at the start of the fight and after each special attack. Don’t attack him while he is Unstoppable. Power Control him or use a champion with the Slow Debuff to minimize the time he spends Unstoppable.

Chapter Guide – Act 3.3.4 – Defiance – Same Old Song & Dance

Summoners!

Here’s my guide for Act 3.3.4 “Defiance” in Marvel Contest of Champions.

General Thoughts:

Three paths again, and really, it’s the same old story that we’ve seen in the previous chapters of Act 3.3. This should be an easy quest to 100% explore for you.

During this quest I did pull one helpful champion, 4-Star Red Guardian, who I’ll be able to utilize when the Spite node shows up in content, and my Black Widow Deadly Origin broke the 4K PI mark.

Chapter Guide – Act 3.3.3 – Dominance – Level 33

Summoners!

Here’s my guide for Act 3.3.3 “Dominance” in Marvel Contest of Champions

General Thoughts:

Besides the addition of a third path, there isn’t any real difference between Act 3.3.3 and the previous chapters in 3.3. It’s the same defenders that you’re already used to fighting.

During my run through Act 3.3.3 I reached Level 33 and put a second point in the Resonate Mastery. Also, I was able to continue leveling-up my Black Widow Deadly Origin, and she is now the top champion in my profile.
