Marvel Contest of Champions Wiki

Captain Marvel is a Cosmic Champion. Being a Cosmic Champion, she has a Class Bonus against Tech Champions, but is weak to Mystic Champions.

Bio[]

After crash landing on Earth without any memory of her past, Air Force pilot, Carol Danvers slowly uncovers the events of her past. Rescued by the Kree and reborn as a noble Kree warrior, Carol learns to control her new powers under the guidance of Mar-Vell, commander of the Starforce. When she finds herself on Earth again Carol Danvers becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when the Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.

Mechanics[]

Captain Marvel is primarily a damage dealer, but is no push over on defense either. She’s able to build up charges and enter a unique Binary Ignition mode that turns her into a wrecking ball with a mix of Armor Break stacks and a copious amount of Energy Damage. In this mode, her bonus Energy Damage amplifies all the attack damage she deals. Score a Critical Hit into an Armor-broken opponent for big damage! Defensively, she has one of the longest Indestructible effects in the game and players have control over when to activate it. Make sure to time it perfectly for maximum damage reduction!

  • Striking with a Heavy Attack while the opponent is charging or executing a Heavy Attack removes all Armor Up effects and inflicts Stun for 2.5 seconds.

Dev Notes: Taking full advantage of Super Strength requires excellent skill and timing. Stunning your opponent using this ability will boost Captain Marvel's damage and give a considerable advantage against Armor Up Champions.

Energy Absorption

  • Captain Marvel gains Persistent Energy Charges by Blocking Physical Attacks and when receiving Energy Damage. Any Energy Charges that Captain Marvel ends a fight with persists between fights. Max 25 stacks.
  • Well Timed Blocks generate an additional Energy Charge.
  • At the start of the fight, Captain Marvel gains 2% of Max Power for each Energy Charge she has.
  • Captain Marvel suffers X damage when Energy Charges are generated by the effects of Mystic Champions.

Dev Notes: When playing as Captain Marvel, managing her Energy Charges at the end of a fight will impact her strength throughout a quest. More Energy Charges saved between fights means going into the next fight with the option of activating Special Attacks and Binary Ignition sooner.

Binary Ignition

  • While at 10 Energy Charges or over, Dashing back and holding Block for 1.2 seconds or being Knocked Down Purifies all Debuffs and pushes Captain Marvel into Binary Ignition. Captain Marvel enters Binary Ignition automatically at 25 Energy Charges.
  • In Binary Ignition, Captain Marvel does not generate Energy Charges and each Charge lasts 1.2 seconds.
  • Gain a Permanent Fury Buff increasing Attack by X for every 5 stacks of Energy Charge. All Fury Buffs are removed when Energy Charges fall to zero.

  • Damaging Energy Debuffs increase the duration of Energy Charges by 1 second.
  • The chance to inflict Armor Break with a Light or Medium Attack increases to 60%.
  • Deal an additional 30% of damage dealt as a burst of Energy Damage when striking an opponent with an Armor Break Debuff.
  • Landing Heavy Attacks while in Binary Ignition generates 3 Energy Charges.

Dev Notes: Binary Ignition is a powerful ability when activated with 25 Charges. Since stored Energy Charges begin to expire in this mode, Binary Ignition will last as long as Captain Marvel has Energy Charges. Maximizing the amount of time Captain Marvel is in Binary Ignition is paramount to playing her. Additionally, striking an opponent's Block will also trigger a burst of Energy Damage in Binary Ignition.

Signature Ability[]

Binary Durability - Above 20 Energy Charges

  • While Binary Ignition is active Captain Marvel gains an Indestructible Buff for 6-12 seconds.
  • This ability can be activated again after a 60-40 second cooldown.
  • The Indestructible Buff and half of Captain Marvel's Energy Charges are removed when struck by a Special Attack.

Dev Notes: With this signature ability, Captain Marvel is able to withstand the most powerful attacks if players opt to wait and build over 20 Energy Charges and activate Binary Ignition at just the right moment.

Special Attacks[]

Special 1 - "Photon" Blast
Tearing through the toughest defenses, Captain Marvel unleashes two powerful beams of cosmic energy before leaping in for an Earth shaking punch.

  • Generate 3 Energy Charges.
  • Energy Beams in this attack deal True Damage.
  • In Binary Ignition, Beam Attacks are Unblockable but this attack expends 2 Energy Charges instead.

Dev Notes: Outside of Energy Absorption, Captain Marvel can also generate Energy Charges when she is not in Binary Ignition. When building her Charges, Special Attack 1 serves as an offensive route for Captain Marvel to reach Binary Ignition. When fighting against Captain Marvel, this attack becomes very difficult to avoid when she is in Binary Ignition.

Special 2 - Skrull Slayer
With a graceful flurry of powerful kicks and punches, Captain Marvel sends her foes back with a pair of well-placed cosmic beams.

  • 100% chance to Stun for 2 seconds. In Binary Ignition this stun lasts 3.5 seconds.
  • Energy Beams in this attack deal True Damage.
  • In Binary Ignition, Beam Attacks are Unblockable and expend 4 Energy Charges.

Dev Notes: Pair this attack with a Super Strength Stun to maximize your combo hits on the opponent.

Special 3 - Space-faring Binary Star
Harnessing the power of a Binary Star, Captain Marvel sends her foes into orbit before burying them in cosmic energy.

  • Generate 10 Energy Charges.
  • Gain a Power Gain Buff generating 40% of max Power over 10 seconds.

Dev Notes: This attack does not generate Energy Charges when in Binary Ignition, but will allow Captain Marvel to build to Binary Ignition in longer fights.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

  • Indestructible makes Captain Marvel extremely durable.
  • Captain Marvel’s Ability to absorb Energy Attacks allows her access to the powerful Binary Ignition with the help of her opponent’s attacks.
  • In Binary Ignition, Captain Marvel deals a large portion of her damage as Energy Damage. Any Critical Strikes in Binary Ignition will do massive chunks of Energy Damage.

Weaknesses[]

  • Mystic Champions that Nullify Buffs pose a significant threat to Captain Marvel by being able to effectively remove the Buffs that make Binary Ignition so powerful.
  • Champions that steal, drain, lock, burn, or otherwise manipulate Power will be able to keep Captain Marvel from activating Binary Ignition where she is considerably weaker.

Recommended Masteries[]

  • Enhanced Fury
    • Taking the Enhanced Fury Mastery into a fight will greatly multiply Captain Marvel's damage. This mastery will also increase the amount of Energy Damage dealt in Binary Ignition.
  • Liquid Courage
    • Since Captain Marvel is immune to poison Liquid Courage will grant her bonus Attack without needing to withstand Poison damage.
  • Stupefy
    • Stupefy will maximize the stuns she has access to with her Super Strength ability and her Special Attack 2.
