Completing quests provides XP (experience points) and unlocks the ability to add more heroes to the player's questing team, to a maximum of five heroes. Class-specific ISO-8 provide heroes of the specified class a bonus. Helicarrier.Ĭharacters can be leveled up by using ISO-8 and Gold and ranked up with Catalysts, which are all gained when fighting in Story Quests, special events, and arena. īattles between the characters take place in a variety of locations pulled from Marvel Comics or the Marvel Cinematic Universe, such as Asgard, Hell's Kitchen, Knowhere, Oscorp, Savage Land, Stark Tower, Wakanda, and a S.H.I.E.L.D. When the player levels-up their characters, more-powerful special attacks are possible but can be used less frequently due to their higher power cost.

As characters take and deal damage, a power meter fills which indicates the potential for unique moves. Fantastic rewards every team member with a 6% increased attack. For example, putting Doctor Doom in the same team with Mr. Synergy bonuses reward the player for combining characters who have a unique relationship. The character can shuffle back or sprint forward, and each hero has three of their own special attacks (unlocked with ranks and stars), as well as unique abilities and an unlockable signature ability (if a duplicate of the champion is collected).

Marvel Contest of Champions requires a persistent Internet connection for both single and multiplayer modes. However, the opponents are A.I.-controlled, so it is not an actual player battle in real time.

Game items (such as crystals) that impact play are found at the end of quests. The energy limit is increased as players increase their level. Energy recharges automatically at a set rate over time or players can refill their energy manually.

Each of the 207 playable characters from Marvel Comics is upgradable, featuring their own classes, movements, traits, abilities, and special moves, although many share animations. New players begin with access to two 1-star characters and can work to access additional characters at higher star levels, ranging from 2 to 6. Gameplay is similar to that of Injustice: Gods Among Us and Mortal Kombat X, where the game's fighting arena is rendered in 3D with a 2D plane for the superheroes' movements and actions. Players assume the role of a Summoner, tasked by the Collector to build a team of Marvel heroes and villains and pit them against one another in combat.
