Champions 2.0 Post-launch FAQ and Discussion

Altair22

the 4 star base characters Im looking forward to ascend and can be very formidable are:

Juggernaut, Polaris, America Chavez, Captain Marvel, Deadpool, Ghost Rider, Iceman, Luke Cage, Peggy Carter, Rogue, Punisher,

as for 3 stars,

Iron man 3 stars base, is still very useful.

Altair22

when is the next update coming to add more ascension possible characters?

Punisher? Didn't think I'd ever see a person care about 4-star Pun

The Punisher green and black two punch can be very devastating, imagine this being a 5 star.

It's a little too expensive at 10ap/10ap, but I like the way you're thinking.

I'm really interested in some of the forgotten passives, and forgotten characters, at the 4* level. M'Baku is one I already brought up. Ascended Talos is already pretty good. Mr Fantastic, too.

Captain Marvel's passive will be fun. Kate Pryde can create some very cool teams. Negasonic is a blast to play. Hydra Stomper is an insane AP generator. Rhino's defensive passives are really cool.

There are so many of them!

This ascension system has brought new interest into the 4-star tier.

Hi,

Not sure what I am missing or don't understand but I just got an Ascended 2>3 storm out of a vault.

• The 3* Ascended is showing as available for upgrade, but I cannot upgrade her
• The 2* Storm is showing a big red "Ascend" button .. Am not going to do this, but does this mean if I did I would have 2x 3* storms and 1x 2* Storms.
• My Power distribution on both Scended and Normal 2* are the same 5/5/3, yet the Powers of the 166 Ascended Storm are half that of the maxed 144 Storm ... what is the point?

ThaRoadWarrior

Storm barely does damage on her powers, but I would say the point is champ rewards.

The ascended versions of 3* characters in the Lightning Rounds are not boosted. Is this a case of LRs being late to get an update to include boosts to ascended folks, a bug or working as intended?

Last week the LRs were right at the introduction of Champ 2.0, so I wasn't that surprised to see no changes. But we're a week later now and I'm starting to get curious.

I'm guessing they forgot to update those when they updated all other events.

Altair22

well I just got a one star base Storm ascended to 5 stars , currently level 453 damages 1026 green, 912 yellow , 798 black.

Altair22

also my one star base ascended 5 star Iron Man is currently 469 lvl. I raised him by 19 levels in 3 days. The ascended one stars seem to be much easier to level up than a regular base 5 star due to the one star covers being much easier to get than the 5 stars.

Altair22

so day 7 since the champion 2.0 ascension came out. I have ascended two one star base to 5 stars. 5 2 base stars to 3 stars, 15 three star base to 4 stars, and 1 four star base to 5 stars.

noticed the following: 3 star base characters ascended to 4 or 5 stars are still counted as 3 stars in terms of shards, so if you get say a heroic pack , it will still count as 10 X 3 star shards for the ascended 3 star to 4 or 5 stars.

How does the powersets feel? Do they feel crippled compared to an eqiuivalent 5*? It seems powers are expensive and slower to fire, but is that irrelevant in actual play?

Played with the 5 star ascended one star base Storm 453 lvl and Iron man 469 lvl. with a Shang Chi 467 lvl. Yep they were quite effective even though shang chi did most of the heavy lifting. Storm managed to fire up the black power, I think its how you use them and how you pair them with other characters is the key to their performance.

also to add: Played in a lightning round PVP vs. simliar level of Thora and shang chi 5 star bases. and I won using the 469 lvl IM and 453 lvl storm one star basers and won, and I note that I was able to fire off the very expensive blue power by IM on Thora since Thoras passive of turning tiles to enhanced tiles esp. the blue ones gave me enough blues to fire it off. , combination of the Red IM a bunch of yellow IM and Storm Black did them in.

entrailbucket

1* get boosted REALLY frequently since there are so few of them in the rotation, so I'm much more interested in trying out lvl600+ versions of these guys.

The 450ish ones absolutely feel like real 5* though.
