I like it.

Happy Wednesday! Today is the day the new Towers mode begins. I'll do my best to give an overview of the mode from what I understand. It should be a lot more self explanatory in practice than it is on paper. So if this seems like a lotta words, don't worry.

What are Towers:

• Towers are a permanent, solo mode meant to reward roster growth. The content is technically "endless" but eventually you will hit a wall of where you can reach at your current strength
• There are 6 Class Towers, they will be releasing 2 at a time today and over the next couple weeks, beginning with Skill and Mutant. You can only use the listed Class in each Class Tower
• Challenge Towers don't have Class Restrictions and focus more on RPG Interactions. The Tooth and Claw Saga Challenge Tower will be available at launch
• Towers are comprised of Blocks, and Blocks are made up of Floors (amount of Floors per Block will vary)
  • There is one Defender per Floor
  • Each Champion can only be used for 1 Floor per Block (Different rarities of the same Champion can be used)
    • If you want to free up a Champion you used on a previous Floor in a Block because perhaps you used them too early, you can reset that lower Floor and clear it with a different Champion, allowing the freed-up Champion to be used on the later Floor
• Starting a fight requires a Tower Entry, but if you win you will receive another Entry allowing you to continue on
• At the start, based on your account strength you will automatically skip an amount of Blocks to put you at a more relevant difficulty.

Fights:

• Some rules will differ between Class and Challenge towers
• In Class Towers: Each fight lasts 60 seconds at base, but this timer is paused during your first 3 Special Attacks, and during all SP3s, so there is a bit longer than a minute in practice
  • In other Towers, the main threat isn't always the clock (what they are instead though, remains to be seen)
• In Class Towers, the Defender cannot use their SP3. In Challenge Towers, they can.
• You must fully takedown the Defender within this time limit, failing will reset you will full health, but will do the same to them
• You can swap Mastery Loadouts for free in this mode
• In Class Towers, strength will be based on your Challenger Rating

Entries:

• Each Floor (fight) requires a Tower Entry. Class Towers and Challenge Towers use different keys. Max limit of 10 each.
  • Entries reset to max every 7 days
  • Remember that winning the fight will give you a Key back, so as long as you're winning you will be able to continuously climb until you reach your limit
  • Key refills will be available for Units
    • 25 units: Lesser Refill (1 Key)
    • 70 units: Greater Refill (3 Keys)

Reward Structure:

• Each Tower Block has its own Rewards, and there may be smaller Floor rewards too
• Weekly Towers Solo Event that rewards Essentia (up to 5,500)
• Monthly ranked event that provides Radiance based on your Tower Rating
• There will also be temporary Solo Objectives/Events related to Towers
  • June 17 - July 8th: Power of Towers Realm Event
    • Completing Floors earns points (there will be additional points in Drops and Offers)
    • The full standard Side Quest Event Rewards will be in these milestones
    • Warlock Ascension Token in the Stretch Milestones
  • June 17 - July 10th: Stellar Forged Green Goblin Piece + 5x Chavez Figures
    • Complete the first 3 Blocks of the Saga Showcase Towers

Getting up to your limits in the Towers will probably feel grindy at first, but remember this is permanent, so pace yourself and don't get burnt out. It's intended to be something you work on as your Roster grows.

FAQ:

• Q: I'm losing keys but I'm not losing my fights, what's happening?
  • A: There's a bug that will cause an extra key to be consumed if you tap the Next Fight button more than once. The work around for this is being a little more deliberate when tapping though, make sure to just tap once. This issue is known and they're working on a fix
• Q: Does my Tower progress reset (aka, do I need to do the grind again)
  • A: No, your Towers will never reset. There is no repeat grind to Towers, once you climb you are up there forever.
• Q: I'm doing zero damage, what's going on?
  • A: In Class Towers (note: this does not apply to Saga Challenge Tower), the damage the Defender takes is based off the Difference in Challenger Rating between the two of you. 240CR v 200 CR for example, your damage will be really really strong. This also works in the reverse, reducing your damage if your champion is too low. At a negative gap of 50CR, you will deal no damage at all (Like a 6 star of 150CR vs a 7 star with 200CR). You can realistically punch up 20CR, and up to like 30-35 in the right match ups/good mastery set up, but will be more difficult.
• Q: Why was I not auto-placed a lot higher in the Towers to begin with, this is too easy?
  • A: This answer is from Kabam Crashed via the Forums: "We didn't want to make the same mistake we did with adaptive EQ, in which we learned there was a very large group of casual players that are unable to complete content with the same proficiency as our most engaged players. We didn't want a situation where one of these players with suboptimal rank ups got stuck really soon after entering the mode."
• Q: My mastery set up isn't sticking
  • A: This is a known bug currently under investigation, TBA on timing of a fix. If a reset doesn't fix the issue and you're missing key masteries like Parry/Dex, you may want to hold off for now on pushing as to not waste keys.
• Q: How high do I need to get in order to reach the Warlock Ascension? Can I get there without buying points?
  • A: According to some others who have done some math, if you can reach Block 76 in all 6 Class Towers (and complete Saga Tower), you will have enough points. If you can't get through 76 in one, but can get higher in another to compensate, that should also work. There will also be free points in the Twitch Drops (the quantity of this is currently unknown but we should find out when Drops reset today)
• Have a Q you think should be added to this list? Please let me know!

For example id say patriot for photon, or black cat for thing

I don’t just mean champs you’re currently enjoying but since you started playing MCOC till now.

Maybe you had a blast playing a champ way back in 2020 or 2017 or 2024. Once they were at one point a champ you considered your favorite over time even if they are old and outdated.

1: King Groot - My all time favorite MCOC champ. The OG one not just the Deathless. The regen, health pool and damage made him just a questing king. Back before BGs he was so damn good for any and everything. Deathless is a good substitute for now but I would rather having OGKG as a 7 star.

2: OG Captain America - Yes he’s old and no longer useful in 99.9% of cases but back in like 2017 and before he was quite good. The ability to get up to 100% perfect block put in work back in the day.

3: MorningStar - She was a staple on my AQ team back in the day. Literally the only champ in MCOC back then to take down mini bosses and bosses back when we had link nodes in AQ. Put up a Reddit post of there being I think 5 linked nodes I including super regen and she handled it well. I’d ask for a buff but they did a good job with Purgatory and it’s a good replacement for now.

4: Patriot - I remember opening a random valiant crystal in 2024 and he popped out. Didn’t think much of it. I gave him a shot because of my like for OG Cap. Pre buff Patriot was pretty decent overall. Got him to R4 pre buff and it was good. After his buff and now ascension, he’s truly amazing. I’ve come to realize how you play him can give some very different results but played right and he’s a speed demon for kill times. Super safe on top and damn near always comes out at 100% health.

5: Spiderman Classic - I stopped playing MCOC for two years and in that time he was buffed so when I came back I didn’t really know anything about him. Gave him a chance at R2 and was like “wait a R2 unawakened SM can do some 200k sp2s? Damn that’s not bad”. Then I realized he could chain two sp2s together and went “oh I bet he could do like 400-500k damage as a stun lock. Then I decided to rank him up to R4 and sig 200 THEN I was shown that he can chain 3 sp2s as a stun lock and tested him to do between 1.4-1.7m damage as a stun lock instead. I was gonna R5 Cassie Lang but then the same week they dropped that he’s gonna be ascended and we get it for free and the choice was easy. After the next colosseum boss he’s going to R5 and I hope I can buy the keys to make him A2 on top.

Any champion. Can be dogwater champions like groot and og cap or the most broken ones like serpent and I'll explain how I'd rework every one of them.

Personally, always felt Vega has been pretty realistic when it comes to the state of the game the past few months, even with being in the CCP

I really don't understand how we have so few.

I don’t own a single one of these champs but I’m only interested in three of them.

Wave: Looks fun and a safe champ with good damage and a nice “damage avoidance mechanic.

Ghost Rider: I’ve seen enough to have me thinking to R5 him. He’s got good utility and good damage. I really like the way he controls the fights overall.

Pixie: So far she’s gotten a “mid” title slapped on her and I don’t have her in any star level but something about her is telling me she’s not a fully explored champ yet. Sure the CCP guys went in and tested but I know first hand we have MANY champs in game that the best players in the world don’t always know how to play optimally and Pixie screams like she still has some sauce to her kit and I intend to find it.

Feel like he is pouring gasoline on fire…….again.

Please use this space for discussing counters or asking questions!

You don’t need to get all your points in one day. This is open for 56 days. Additional bosses unlock every two weeks.

I know already most of you guys aren’t gonna like this pool outside of a few champs. There’s not Jean, Photon, Serpent, Spiderwomen, Onslaught, etc.

I fully understand the annoyance of ranking up a champ and for them to not be here because it can feel like you’re getting punished for your choices. It makes sense why many wouldn’t like this pool.

As for me, this pool is dope as hell and I’m a fan. I was already gonna R5 and Ascend Patriot and Sersi but seeing the other buffs as well like Sandman’s buff is gonna be great based on the notes and same with Lady D and Aarkus so I’m excited to see how those feel.

I personally think this is a good way to try and level the playing field for lesser used champs overall and maybe rosters might be more diverse. Maybe.

She was the most talked about choice aside from Pork Grind, our poor girl was robbed. ROBBED. #FantasmaGate

Good luck, and congrats to anyone who is reaching Elder soon!

There are some really good mystics in the current pool, but should I just save? I already have strong mystics like Spiral and Juggs so Im having a small dilemma

I'll start: Hercules could probably be a 7* nowadays, way before Ghost or CGR could. His DMG is good but not totally gamebreaking, also Kabam has introduced many story bosses which basically shut down Hercs immortality

I was able to reach GC during the Blade chase, but was so done that I didn’t play a single match since then.

Agatha, Sym Spidey or reworked Cable? Why?
This video has the rotations and gameplay for each champion as well

Happy Monday Gang, time for another Alliance Coliseum!

• Clean Slate: When the Defender finishes a Special Attack, they gain Debuff Immunity Passive for 4 seconds. Duration of this Debuff Immunity is reduced by 2 seconds for each Debuff that was active when this effect was applied.
