Moreover, even those not familiar with these characters will still find it enjoyable with its exciting battle action and tons of content. There’s no choice but to surrender to the contest and to read through this guide as the fate of the universe will be in your hands.

Gameplay
Marvel Contest of Champions is a hero collection and battle game where in players can earn, collect, and maintain a team of heroes from the Marvel universe and pit them against other heroes. There’s a story mode as well as PvP and other special events that can be entered into, and these would provide rewards that you can use to get better champions and to improve the ones that you already have.

Battles are controlled via taps and swipes at different portions of the screen. Battle is focused towards making combos, blocking when necessary, and activating special skills that deal damage. However, most of the time having the right character to play as is much more essential than fighting ability as a lower class hero will almost have no chance against a more evolved character on a hit per hit basis.

Currency
Coins and units are the two currencies available within Marvel Contest of Champions. Both of these currencies can be earned in a variety of ways, with the latter being harder to find. Coins are used for upgrading your heroes, while units are used for purchasing premium items like potions, energy, and crystals that provide more effective champions.

While both coins and units may be acquired for free, players can exchange units for coins, and real cash for units. Coins and units, along with other big prizes, may also be won by joining special time limited events that will appear from time to time.

Energy
Marvel Contest of Champions uses an energy system where in players must have adequate energy in order to explore the areas in Story Mode. Certain items can be used to replenish energy instantly, but players can also opt to just wait it out and explore other sections of the game. Leveling up will also instantly replenish your energy as well as have the chance to increase its maximum capacity.

Leveling Up
By playing through quests and fighting, players will be able to earn experience points which would then give them the chance to level up. Leveling up provides players with lots of benefits such as having your energy refilled, and the game also often provides players with other prizes like coins, ISO-8, and many more. Leveling up also opens up some features that are not readily accessible previously, so gain a lot of experience in order to get the most out of the game.

Crystals
Crystals can be acquired in a variety of ways as players can spend collected items such as units or battle chips for them as well as earn them as rewards. The game also rewards players with free crystals every four and twenty-four hours, so make sure to collect them each time they are available. Different types of crystals yield different and random prizes as they can give out champions of varying rarity, ISO-8, potions, units, energy refills, and many others. Open up crystals in the vault whenever they become available so that you can use whatever prizes you may have attained to further strengthen your team.

Heroes
Certain crystals will award players with heroes, and these would make up the foundation of your team. Different heroes have different attributes and special abilities, and these can be used in order to take advantage in a fight. Another thing that players can benefit from is class bonuses as this can work both for and against you.

Each hero belongs to one of six classes, namely cosmic, mutant, mystic, science, tech, and skill. Like elemental affinities in most battle games, some classes work better against others while other classes will have you at a disadvantage. This knowledge can be used especially if you know the class of the enemy you will be facing. There are also synergy bonuses where in having specific characters within the same team will yield bonus increases in stats as well.

As for upgrading characters, coins, ISO-8, and catalysts are used to level and rank up your characters. The higher the level and rank, the better their attributes and there might be some special attacks and attributes that would be unlocked as well. Take note also that leveling up will refill your hero’s health. Otherwise, you might either have to wait or use potions so that their health would regenerate.

Of course, it is also important to remember that you should only level up those champions that you will be using for a long period of time. Do not waste resources on heroes that you will discard later on, and they wouldn’t stand a chance against higher level opponents either way.

Quests
Quests are the game’s story mode. Players must explore and fight in certain areas of the map, and they will be eligible for rewards along the way. By completing scenes, new ones will open up and the challenges will be more difficult, so make sure to have your team ready by upgrading them. Most stages will also provide players with random rewards, but make sure that you win as some rewards could not be claimed until after enemies have been defeated. In Quests, energy is required so it is essential to have enough of this particular resource as well.

PvP
Marvel Contest of Champions also offers a PvP mode where in players can battle champions made by other players online. There are 1v1 and 3v3 PvP battles available, with the latter yielding better rewards. At the end of each tournament, those who rank the highest, which is done by winning more matches consecutively, will be eligible for big rewards. Thus, spend your time here while waiting for your energy to refill or if you are stuck with the Story Mode in the game and are trying to grind for more resources to further improve your team.

Events
Marvel Contest of Champions also has limited time events that players can participate in. Different events are available and each would yield different rewards such as premium crystals or catalysts that you can use to rank up your champions. Take note that these events are only available for a limited time, and challenges are often tougher here. This would require you to have a formidable team of champions that would be ready to take on more powerful opponents. Of course, new events would pop up from time to time so make sure to check out this feature consistently so as to not miss out on any offers provided within the game.
