Guillotine is a Mystic Champion. Being a Mystic Champion, she has a Class Bonus against Cosmic Champions, but has a penalty against Science Champions.
Bio[]
Born of a mixed French-Algerian heritage, the mysterious Guillotine is the latest in her bloodline to inherit "La Fleur du Mal", a mystical sword with dark supernatural powers.
Across the centuries, many have wielded the enchanted blade - some for good, some for evil. For the will of the sword is strong, and its thirst for blood is limitless, and many have succumbed to its whispers in their minds. The current Guillotine uses the blade to punish the guility and keeps the sinister instincts of the sword in check... for now!
Mechanics[]
Guillotine revels in the blood of her enemies! Releasing her blood-thirsty blade on her enemies, Guillotine has a chance of inflicting Bleed debuffs with each swipe, earning her Attack-boosting Soul Charges while recovering a percentage of her own HP for each percentage of damage dealt.
Not inflicting enough Bleeds for your liking? Throw a Heavy Attack into the mix to cast a Bleed Curse on the unfortunate opponent, followed by a Special Attack! This will guarantee you Bleeds with each hit, and if Guillotine is Unshackled, you can be sure no Block can match her blade.
Once enough Soul Charges have been accrued, activate your Special 3 to inflict a debilitating Degeneration debuff, lasting until all Charges have been spent or your opponent has fallen.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]
Strengths[]
- High Damage Potential
- Stacking Bleeds, especially when Heavy/Special combos, can deal some serious damage over time, especially with a high number of Soul Charges!
- Buff-heavy Opponents
- Opponents who utilize many Buffs at one time will quickly realize their folly, as Guillotine’s chance to inflict bleeds rises with each Buff on the opponent!
Weaknesses[]
- Purify
- Opponents who are not Immune but can Purify Guillotine’s Bleed debuffs can severely hamper her ability to deal and heal damage.
- Concussion
- Having a big #Metal sword has its perks, but a certain Master of Magnetism can turn off much of what Guillotine relies on!
Recommended Masteries[]
- Recovery
- With Life Siphon, Guillotine has access to a Life Steal effect at all times. Increasing the amount of life stolen can be a huge boost to her survivability in long Quests or Alliance Quests.
- Precision & Cruelty
- Guillotine relies on being aggressive and dealing consistent damage to feed her blade and gain extra souls. Increasing Critical Hit Rate and Critical Damage helps accomplish this by increasing her bleed output and Soul Charge accumulation.
- Glass Cannon
- By increasing her attack by as much as possible, Guillotine also increases her Health Regeneration via Life Siphon, increasing her damage output while offsetting the decreased HP from this mastery.
Trivia[]
- ”La Force d'Ancêtres” translates to “The Strength of Ancestors”, "Coup De Massue" translates to "Crushing Blow", and “Coup De Grâce” translates to “Knockout”.
- Guillotine is the first character to be created exclusively for Marvel: Contest of Champions, followed by Civil Warrior.
