Kang the Conqueror is a Tech Champion. Being a Tech Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Mutant Champions, but is weak to Cosmic Champions. He serves as the final boss of Act 2.

Kang is available exclusively as a Trophy Champion. The most common way to obtain him is through the annual Banquet Event.

Bio[]

Official Site[]

A brilliant scientist from the 30th century, Kang the Conqueror has raided the distant past and explored the deep future, assuming many identities and amassing power across the millennia. The time-stream itself bends to his genius and will.

Champion Spotlight[]

THE FINAL VICTORY BELONGS TO YOU, BRAVE SUMMONER. I, KANG THE CONQUEROR, PHARAOH OF THE AGES, LORD OF THE TIMESTREAM ITSELF, GENIUS COMMANDER OF ALL TECHNOLOGY IN THE UNIVERSE, ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR POWER... for now. LONG LIVE KANG!

Mechanics[]

Kang is a very controlling Champion who can Heal Block the opponent, as well as depleting them of all their Power with a single special attack. Kang’s Special Attacks Stun the opponent, creating even more openings to attack. When paired with Apocalypse, Kang’s damage ramps up over the fight through Fury Buffs, and he becomes a force to be reckoned with.

Signature Ability[]

Kang Armor - Passive

  • Kang's Power level fuels his neuro-kinetic suit of armor, endowing him with up to X Armor Rating based on stored Power.
Tier Armor Rating
666.67 - 3716.25
903.35 - 6304.12
967.87 - 6754.41
1182.95 - 8255.39

Dev Notes: If you bank all your Power and refuse to throw Special Attacks, Kang has a very respectable Armor Rating. If you get too low on health, you can store your Power to reduce damage when blocking hits.

Special Attacks[]

Special 1 - Concussive Bolt
A concussive blast from the fingertips of Kang's gauntlets leave opponents in a daze.

  • 100% chance to Stun for 2.4 second(s).

Dev Notes: This Special Attack is useful for Stunning your opponent to give yourself easier openings.

Special 2 - E.M.P. Cannon
Kang's Time-Ship blasts his opponent back to the future from a remote location using an electromagnetic pulse cannon.

Dev Notes: This attack Stuns the Opponent, and drains all of their Power. You can play super aggressively and use the Special 2 to make sure your opponent never gets too much Power.

Special 3 - Drone Assault
Kang deploys a swarm of robotic drones from the future to seek and destroy his target.

  • 100% chance to inflict Heal Block, preventing the target from recovering Health for 12 seconds.

Dev Notes: This Special Attack Heal Blocks the opponent, which can prove useful against any kind of healing ability.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

  • Great Power Control
    • Kang’s Special 2 drains 100% of the opponent’s maximum Power, giving him great control over your average fight.
  • High Armor Rating
    • If you store your Power, Kang’s Awakened Ability allows him to get a substantial increase to his Armor Rating, turning him into a tank.
  • Stunning Special Attacks (They’re beautiful)
    • Kang’s Special 1 and 2 both Stun the opponent, allowing you to play as aggressively as you would like.
  • Damage ramp up
    • Apocalypse has a synergy with Kang that allows him to ramp up Furies, increasing his damage over time

Weaknesses[]

  • Ability Power Gain
    • Kang has no way to stop an opponent from gaining Power, so if the opponent gains too much Power too quickly, you could be in trouble.
  • Nullify Champs
    • With the Apocalypse synergy providing Kang’s damage ramp up, if his Fury Buffs get Nullified or Staggered, you lose a lot of damage.
  • True Strike and True Damage
    • Kang can increase his Armor Rating by storing Power, but champs who have True Strike or True Damage can ignore this increase in Armor Rating.

Recommended Masteries[]

  • Collar Tech
    • This will reduce the Power opponents gain when you strike them even more, giving Kang even more control.
  • Enhanced Fury
    • Kang’s damage ramp up comes from Fury Buffs through the Apocalypse Synergy. Increasing their potency means you’re increasing his damage.
  • Precision
    • Kang’s Special attacks have few hits, so increasing your Critical Rating can allow you to squeeze out the most damage possible.

Trivia[]

In the Story[]

Joining the Contest[]

Kang was originally a brilliant scientist from the 30th century, and became proficient in manipulating the time stream. He was summoned to the Ghost Orchid by the Collector, who promised him the ISO-Sphere if he managed to defeat the Summoner. Kang would continuously taunt the Summoner as they battled with their Champions, but the tide was turned when Thanos, demanding the identity of the Contest’s benefactor, entered the Contest and allied himself with the Summoner. Their combined efforts were more than enough to defeat Kang, who would hold a grudge against the Summoner for time to come.

Elder's War and Cornerstone[]

Kang would face the Summoner again from time to time seeking revenge, first challenging him and Magneto, then again as the Summoner's first opponent in 'Phase 2' of the Collector's Contest, and another time soon after the Grandmaster’s return. After the Collector’s defeat, Kang was forced into an uneasy alliance with the Summoner, Doctor Strange, Doctor Voodoo, Black Panther, Cable and Spider-Man, among others, to reconstruct the Cornerstone, an artifact instrumental in the stability of the Battlerealm. The Grandmaster pitted the group against Ultron, but he relented when the robot was defeated, allowing the group to reassemble the Cornerstone and revealing that it was in fact the Collector’s daughter Carina, who was shattered into a billion fragments three billion years ago.

Paradox and the Arrival of Superior Kang[]

Kang was then not seen for a long period, and he eventually came to overlook Mister Fantastic’s time anomaly on his space station, alongside Annihilus and Red Skull. He was then confronted and defeated by the Summoner and Namor, who destroyed his Chronos Station. He then disappeared again, carefully plotting his revenge against the Summoner, and somehow harnessed the power of the Paradox Engine for himself.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by Gwenmaster’s reign, he summoned multiple anomalies from alternate timelines to stall Carina’s group while he took over the Contest, and lured the Summoner to the Galactorum for a final showdown. Despite his best efforts, Kang was defeated, and in a desperate attempt summoned Superior Kang to the Battlerealm. Unimpressed by Kang’s efforts, Superior Kang promptly vaporized him, but Kang was able to revert his death, and challenged Superior Kang three times, once alone, once with Carina, and once while trying to find the Summoner, with all attempts ending in failure and Kang forced to reverse time once again. On his fourth and final attempt, Kang was imprisoned in Knowhere, and was rescued by Carina’s group including the Summoner. Realizing that the Summoner was the key to defeating his variant, Kang set aside his differences and worked with the group to create a device to neutralize Superior Kang’s abilities, giving it to the Summoner and allowing him to defeat Superior Kang.
