Which Variant Should I Complete First? – Variant 8 Update

Summoners! One question I see quite often from progressing Marvel Contest of Champions Summoners, usually those in the middle of Act 5 exploration or newly Cavalier, is about when they should start to tackle Variant (Back Issues) content. Variant rewards offer a great way for Summoners to build roster depth. Now that I’m 100% finishedContinue reading “Which Variant Should I Complete First? – Variant 8 Update”

Chapter Guide – Variant 6 Chapter 3.2 – Fight At Joe’s – “Belly Bumps & Doom Slaps”

Summoners! Here’s my guide for Variant 6 Chapter 3.2 “Fight at Joe’s” in Marvel Contest of Champions. General Thoughts: There are a few tough fights on this map (post-buff Bishop, Mojo) and you’ll need an Icarus counter, but once again the top villains like Apocalypse, Magneto, and Doctor Doom neutralize most of the difficulty. ThisContinue reading “Chapter Guide – Variant 6 Chapter 3.2 – Fight At Joe’s – “Belly Bumps & Doom Slaps””

Chapter Guide – Variant 6 Chapter 3.1 – “Mr. Cage” – Bleed Immune Villains Wanted

Summoners! Here’s my guide for Variant 6 Chapter 3.1 “Mr. Cage” in Marvel Contest of Champions. General Thoughts: Chapter 3.1 is bit more of a roster-check, because of the Biohazard node.

Summoners! Here’s my guide for Variant 6 Chapter 2.1 “Get a Clue” in Marvel Contest of Champions! General Thoughts: Chapter 2.1 is a fairly simple four-path chapter if you have the correct counters.

Chapter Guide – Variant 6 Chapter 1.1 – “Something Amiss” – Bring Your Villains

Summoners! Here’s my guide for Variant 6, Chapter 1.1 “Something Amiss” in Marvel Contest of Champions. General Thoughts: Welcome to Variant 6, which is the “Villains Variant.” Non-#Villain attackers suffer large penalties in this Variant, so you should hold off on attempting this Variant until you have a handful of strong Villain champions that areContinue reading “Chapter Guide – Variant 6 Chapter 1.1 – “Something Amiss” – Bring Your Villains”
