Hi Summoners,

Below are some details going into our V12.0.1 update. If you’re looking for a full breakdown of the changes, including changes to Realm of Legends, Labyrinth of Legends, and quest content, please head to our forums HERE.

Stats & System Changes:

Block Proficiency improved across the board.

Challenge Ratings Per Rank now overlap similar to Champion Power Indexes. (A 4* Rank 5 and a 5* Rank 3 are both Challenge Rating 100) .

Armor Penetration, Block Penetration, Critical Hit Resistance have been zeroed out from all Champion base stats.

Removed the chance for Champions to receive a Critical Hit while blocking.

Mastery Changes:

Parry

Parry now utilizes an implementation that bypasses the diminishing returns formula. This ensures that Champions will take less damage from attacks while they are Parrying, and Champions with a sufficiently high Base Block Proficiency receive no damage after landing a Parry.

With a massive update like this, occasionally comes some technical issues. We’ve compiled a list of what we have both received reports on, and have been able to reproduce in the studio. That list can be found HERE. We will continue to improve upon this latest update, and appreciate everyone that sends their reports on anything strange you encounter in the game.

Thanks again for working with us, for talking to us, and for pushing us to make Marvel Contest of Champions the best it can be!
