Hey, at least I got him a cooler outfit!

[xytrel72]

I'm gonna do it

So this season I have been pushing hard to make gold by November 7th. I still hope to make it to that goal. I've been on a loss streak, but now I think I got it back. I'm back in s3 after losing from s1 back to s5. I think I can make it in the 3 weeks I have left.

Lost my edge?

So OldGods dropped, and I didn’t shy away from the changes like I usually do, but dove right in.  Was doing great, ranking from 15 to 7 using a bit of hunter, a bit of C’Thun druid, and ol’ Zoolock and having some fun seeing new things, and seeing how old things still worked great.

But I’ve hit a slump :-(  lost, lost, lost.  down to rank 9 again and just not feeling it.  Face shaman, control priest are trouble for me atm.  Luck has it if I switch decks cause one isn’t working, I face a lineup that I would have crushed before hand.  I’m also not mulliganing well either.  :-(

le sigh

MARVEL CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS

Last edited 3/10/2016

Hey guys this is your friendly neighborhood Deadpool-obsessed alliance leader!

Alliance: Deadpool Corps 

Tag: [DPCOR]

Rule 1: Leave your alliance chat on. (This way you can catch any warning from officers or other instructions!)

Rule 2: Duel Skirmish event is mandatory. A 0 results in a kick. We ain’t messin’ around on this one. (See below under events for a detailed description on dueling.)

Rule 3: Don’t be an asshole. (Being rude, unnecessarily cruel, racist, homophobic and/or otherwise loudly bigoted are grounds for expulsion. Skipping incomplete paths, suiciding in AQ, failing to follow directions, et cetera also counts as being an asshole.)

Facebook Group: Members of alliance only - please state your IGN upon request or just mention that you applied to the group in the alliance chat. This is not required, but you will get notified about active mandatory events and the designated target, and frankly I’m less inclined to kick or demote people in the group. And by the way, I’m serious about mentioning you’re actually in the alliance, I will just totally ignore a request from a random. 

Preferably members join at level 15 or higher but as long as a member remains active and participatory I don’t actually give a damn about level or rating. The alliance is currently open because global chat is a foul place. Assist and ask for assistance whenever possible; alliance crystals are 1k loyalty. (Buy in bulk!) 

If you somehow found your way here without me linking this post to you, feel free to apply to join? Or just use the information as you like, nbd, just don’t repost. Thanks. (:

Officers: particpate in all events and level 25+, have a good head on your shoulders, but in the end it’s up to my own discretion. You can recruit members and kick them out. Demotions take place if a recommended event (asterisked below) is missed, five days + since last log in, or you do something incredibly stupid. Frankly in the end when we are full of active members I am not against having everyone an officer. We are not yet at that point, unfortunately.

The hierarchy of quests+ goes: Acts -> Chapters -> Quests -> Nodes; if someone says they are doing 3.4.1, that’s the first quest in chapter 4 of act 3 in story quests. 

Miss Marvel (Kamala Khan) Event

This event is ending at 13:00 EST on 4/6 (I think, my math isn’t perfect). This event story contains three different difficulty levels. Each difficulty level has three chapters with two quests each. 

There should be plenty of time to complete all three difficulty levels if you have the power rating for ‘em. Despite “easy” costing a lot of energy for seemingly little prize, I still think it’s worth it due to the sharded crystals and t4 fragments. The best order if doable is probably Heroic -> Normal -> Easy

Remember to watch out for those nodes!

Chloe’s Warriors Of Awesomeness Event

This event is a series of 4 chapters with six stages each and six opponents in each stage. Chloe is an actress in Agents of SHIELD. She has picked Spidey, Ultron, Guillotine, Groot, Wolverine X-23, and Elektra for her team. These opponents won’t change except for the order in which you fight them. You should definitely be able to beat chapter 1 at the very least. If it’s the same as Coulson’s challenge from a few months ago (and it is very similar), the 4th chapter is probably going to be ridiculously hard (5* I think). The prizes are pretty good though, including crystals. 

Alliance Events

For my alliance, just participate (have more than a 0) in duels or get kicked, no problem. View Rules of the events in the alliance tab to see specific point values. A few of these require participation in order to get any milestone reward.

Current list of possible daily events - Focus on these first.. 

Duel Skirmish**: win fights against another player’s top champion. The higher number of stars your opponent has, the more points awarded. There is a featured opponent, such as Electro, who you can get 5 extra points each battle for defeating. This almost always immediately follows an AQ series ending. We will usually post someone’s name in alliance chat who has a 4*R1 Featured Champion as their top (if not, ask around in global chat and post who you find after checking them!). To fight this person, click the button next to your chat at the bottom left corner of your screen. This will take you to the mailbox. Click the friends tab, then search. Search for the name given (sometimes you will have to scroll a little). To start a duel, click on their profile picture and click duel. You will see the stats of your opponent and how many credits you have left (5 a day for free, resets at 3-4 AM EST so you should be able to get in at least 10 per event - more if you deign to spend units). See if your champion could beat the one that pops up. If so, press continue and pick who you would like to fight with! It will automatically pick your strongest champion, but you can use whoever you’d like. There are still class advantages though you cannot see them. If you do not have a champion strong enough to beat them, I do not give a shit who you fight. There is probably someone on that list with a 1* you can beat at least. Win!

Quest Completion: Complete a story quest or event quest if one is up. The harder the quest, the more points awarded. Because the highest milestone reward is only 6k and there are no rank rewards for this event, participation is not required.

Class Specialist*: Win any kind of battle with a specific class of champion. The more stars your champion has, the more points awarded. The class specified determines the reward of a tier 2 and tier 3 class catalyst. The classes seem to be in no particular order.

Arena Wins*: win fights in a 3v3 or 5v5 arena. The higher number of stars your opponent has, the more points awarded. Note: remember that in pvp your opponent can use their third level attack if they build up to it!

The following two switch off during AQ:

Alliance Brawl: Defeat enemies (standard 25 pts boss 75 pts) in AQ. Pretty easy, but not everyone is going to participate before we get it, so I’m not worried about participation in this one.

Node Removal: Only counts enemies on nodes with boosts. Also shouldn’t be a problem.

In addition to these daily events, there are longer alliance events, most of which last 3 days. They don’t have any sort of schedule that I can discern. 

Incomplete List of possible 3-7 day events. Focus on these once Daily events have been attained. For most of these, you can not get the rewards without participating.

Arena Combat*: same as Arena Wins except over 3 days and a lot more space between prizes.

Completion*: same as Quest Completion except over 3 days and a lot more space between prizes. If you’re to it, 3.4.1 is least energy for most points. Otherwise, just complete SOMETHING for gods’ sakes.

Perfect Series: Win all three fights in a 3v3 arena. Higher stakes arena, more points. Though I can not require it because eighty percent of the time I don’t feel like doing PVP myself, you cannot get the rewards without doing them.

Item Use*: use items, like boosts, potions, and revives to earn points. Rarer items, more points. 

This is a placeholder bullet point to separate 3-day and 7-day events

Summoner Advancement*: This combines several of the old daily events into one week long event: crystalmas, leveling, dupes, and rank ups. There are so many ways to get points that if you have 0 at the end you weren’t playing. There are no milestone rewards, unfortunately.

Alliance Quest Completion: It’s like quest completion but only for AQ. Because the point value for AQ1 is so low, we would have to complete 3 AQ1 every day of a series to get even the first milestone reward.

Item Use*: there was a week long instance of item use. The milestone rewards were at the same rate, but there were an additional 15 or so milestones that were 2* or 3* Daredevil (New) dupes.

More TBA as they appear. This is a placeholder bullet point.

Class Catalysts, Class Masteries and Ranking Up

Play the quests under daily events on easy, medium, or hard to get tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 class catalysts respectively. The chests in these events can also rarely drop the mastery core for its class (or you can buy it with units in the item store on the same days). You need five of a class core to unlock the mastery, and there are two class-specific masteries in each mastery tab, listed in parenthesis below.

Sunday - Free For All

Monday - Mutant (Attack: stop bleeding faster)

Tuesday - Skill (Attack: ignore more armor)

Wednesday - Science (Defense: more energy resistance)

Thursday - Mystic (Utility: more power gains)

Friday - Cosmic (Utility: reduce enemy armor up effects)

Saturday - Tech (Defense: reduce enemy power gain)

Here’s the Updated catalyst cheat sheet originally posted by the MCoC facebook page:

This image does not include the gold costs or 1*, so I will put those below. 

Gold Costs for Rank Up

1* r1-2: tba gold and 1x Tier 1 Catalyst

2* r1-2: 4,641 gold

    r2-3: 9,282 gold

3* r1-2: 11,500 gold 

    r2-3: 23,001 gold

    r3-4: 34,501 gold

4* r1-2: 27,425 gold

    r2-3: 54,850 gold

    r3-4: 82,275 gold

    r4-5: tba gold

5*: TBA Gold

Catalyst Fragments

Instead of receiving ISO or other little things upon completing a Catalyst quest and not getting a catalyst, we now get catalyst fragments which we can glue together to make the catalyst. You need more shards for higher tier catalysts. Selling catalysts also now gives cat frags of the next tier up (ie, selling a t3 cat will give you t4 fragments). Class and Basic catalysts require the same number of fragments per tier. Currently, there are no Alpha fragments. Inventory capacity of each catalyst listed in parenthesis. Note: be careful, if you have no cats or cat frags of a type of cat, the slot will disappear until you get more.

T1 Cats: 300 frags to make, sells for 100 t2 frags (Basic: 15, Class: 4)

T2 Cats: 650 frags to make, sells for 130 t3 frags (Basic: 15, Class: 6)

T3 Cats: 2800 frags to make, sells for 180 t4 frags (Basic: 15, Class: 6)

T4 Cats: 36000 frags to make (Basic: 8)

T1 Alpha: (12)

A few ways to get gold:

run story mode, fully explore each quest

run hard proving grounds, sell the extra ISO-8

fight in arena battles and win, use 2500 battle chips to purchase and open an arena crystal

free crystals will occasionally contain gold

do the event story quests. Exploration rewards include gold. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU SELL YOUR CHAMPIONS OR HIGH TIER CATALYSTS: even though 1* champions are pretty awful, they can be used in 1v1s when you’ve used everyone else in arenas. Plus, once you have one, duplicates will automatically get sold. Keep 2* champions for 2* arena - at level cap, there can only be so many stronger opponents from stacking dupes; 2* arena is ONLY for 2*. You may not need your catalysts now but you might need them later! Don’t use them to level, either - that Tier 3 Catalyst will be a lot harder to come by when you actually need it!

Share it if you want, I don’t mind, original will update occasionally so if you notice something off in a reblog check the original and see if it’s been fixed. Send me a message if not. (:
