Marvel Contest of Champions is still running strong as one of the most popular Marvel mobile games there is. The superhero brawler takes more skill than most titles, and doesn't require in-game purchases to enjoy.
In addition, the game is constantly adding new characters to the mix to keep things fresh. Last month Kabam launched a creepy motion comic that featured Mojo, teasing his arrival as well as Longshot's. Now, the motion comic for April takes a look at two powerful women being added to the title in the weeks ahead.
The first is Pyramid X Storm, who is the Fourth Horsemen of Apocalypse. Wielding unequaled weather manipulation abilities, this powerful warrior is not one to be trifled with. Also joining the fray will be Sorcerer Supreme, a curious character who grew up in the Nightmare Realm. Her mechanics are similar to Doctor Strange's, and she drains her opponent's ability while charging her own.
Carina has found a nexus of power within the Battlerealm that is rich with Astral and ISO energy. With this newly found resource, she hopes to restore Doctor Strange’s astral form back into his body, allowing him to come back to help the Contest once again.
Though there is a problem unforeseen by those that use it: This nexus is a powerful fountain of energy, and while it may help those that use it, it can also be used to empower dangerous forces within the Battlerealm. Because of this, there are many eyes set upon it, some of whom have never seen before.
Mumblings of another Sorcerer Supreme materializing into the Battlerealm has many heroes shaken, raising brows and concerning many. And following her, a worshipper referring to herself as the envoy of “En Sabah Nur” has created a storm that stirs many where they stand.
What they are doing inside the Battlerealm is a question on everyone’s minds. However there is a bigger question that concerns Carina, and Doctor Strange… are they friend, or foe? Find out in this month’s Event Quest, From Beyond!
We have also included the bug fixes which were taken care of in the v26.1 patch. Many things have been edited and clarified for multiple characters in hopes that the title will be smoother going forward. Players can take a look at the full list below.
- Fixed an issue where the Opponent would respond slower than usual to the end of a combo by Ghost Rider, Ronin, Winter Soldier, Human Torch, Symbiote Supreme, Guillotine, and Star-Lord. This should make Parry timing more consistent for these Champions with other Champions in-game.
- Fixed an issue where some Champions experienced a short pause between subsequent Heavy Attacks
- Fixed issue where the opponent could attack while KO’d.
- Clarified description of the Despair Mastery to state it caps at 100%.
- Fixed issue with Ant-Man, Captain America (Infinity War) and the Particle Protector Buff where offensive ability accuracy for glancing abilities was reduced by more than 100%.
- ÆGON (Abyss of Legends) – Clarified Abyssal Enhancement description to note that it bypasses Immunities to Ability Accuracy Reduction.
- ANNIHILUS – All hits of Special 2 attacks are correctly acting as Energy Projectiles.
- BLACK PANTHER (CIVIL WAR) – Clarified that Black Panther (Civil War) will Purify any Debuff applied alongside a Stun Effect when consuming an Armor Up to Reflect the Stun.
- CABLE – Clarified Cable’s degeneration ability to specify that it is triggered by Bleed Debuffs.
- GRANDMASTER – Edited the pause screen description to clarify the target for Inverted Controls and to clarify how Grandmaster becomes Unstoppable when knocked down near the wall.
- THING – Fixed issue where Shield visual effect would not show up when fighting Invisible Woman.
- KILLMONGER – Fixed an issue where the last hit of his Special 2 attack could be blocked by the opponent.
- MOJO – Clarified “Smile For The Cameras” Synergy description with Psylocke to specify Power Lock Debuffs. S
