Kang the Conqueror (Act 7.3)

For the playable version of Kang, see Kang the Conqueror.

"Again we meet in the Galactorum, Summoner. Where it all began. Do you recall how you degraded me? Colluded with Thanos, all for some petty need to win? I’m sure you remember how well that worked out. If you had simply done your part and lost like the nobody you are, the ISO-Sphere would have been mine. And then, well... I wouldn’t have needed to go to such extremes. Ultimately though, I’m grateful. My hatred for you has given me purpose these many years. A drive for vengeance that made me truly innovative."

—Kang the Conqueror^[src]

Kang the Conqueror is a unplayable Tech Champion. Being a Tech Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Mutant Champions, but is weak to Cosmic Champions. He serves as a major antagonist and is the final boss of Act 7 Chapter 3, with different abilities to the base Kang the Conqueror. His third special move remains unaltered, however.

Tier	Attack Rating
	2046.4

Always Active - Power Loop

At the start of the fight, Kang activates a countdown timer of 10 second(s), and randomly selects either 0, 1, 2, or 3 Bars of Power.
When the timer expires, if the Opponent has that many Bars of Power, they hav a 140% chance to gain a Power Charge. If they do not gain one or it fails due to chance they instead take X Direct Damage, unaffected by Ability Accuracy.

Tier	Direct Damage
	12278.4

If Kang is knocked down by the Special Attack corresponding to the selected Bars, Power Loop is immediately removed and the Opponent gains a Power Charge.
Kang then selects a new number of Bars and restarts the timer. Bar selections wil not repeat until all numbers have been selected.
Power Loop is Paused while the Opponent uses the corresponding Special Attack, during all of Kang's Special Attacks, and for 3.50 second(s) when Kang is hit by a Heavy Attack.
Power Charges are Cross-Fight, persisting across fights until they are removed by other abilities.

Phase Transitions

Kang has prepared 4 Phases for the fight. Completing a Phase sets both Champion's Power to 0. Power Loop, Time Collapse, and dormant Fury are all removed with no effect.
Phase Transition lasts for 9.50 second(s). While transitioning Phases, neither Champion can gain Power, and Kang is Indestructible.
For the first 6 second(s) of the transition, Kang is very defensive. For the final 3.50 seconds of the transition, he is Unblockable, very aggressive, and can't be knocked down.

Phase 1 - 100% to 91% Health

When the Opponent has 3 Power Charges, Kang suffers from a Time Collapse for 10 second(s).
During Time Collapse, Kang is Passively Stunned, cannot gain Power, and his Neuro-Kinetic Suit damage reduction is reduced to 0%. This Stun does not reduce future Stun duration.
Additionally, the current Power Loop is immediately removed with no effect, and for each Power Charge the Opponent has, they gain 25% Base Attack Rating, and 10% Combat and Ability Power Rate.
When Time Collapse expires Power Loop selects a new number of Bars, and the Opponent loses all Power Charges.

Phase 2 - 90% to 51% Health

When the Opponent has 4 Power Charges, Kang suffers from a Time Collapse for 10 second(s).
The Opponent gains 1% of a Bar of Power every second. This increases by 1% every time they activate a Special Attack to a max of 7%, resetting after Time Collapse.
The costs of both Champion's Special Attacks are reduced to 50%. This will not trigger if the Special Attack already costs less than 50%.
The Opponent suffers -60% Ability Accuracy during their Special Attacks.
The Power Gain effect from a Special Attack 1 is increased by 50% flat.
In Phases 2 and 3, every time Power Loop selects 1, 2, or 3 Bars, Kang gains 4 dormant Fury Passives. One Fury is removed every 2.25 second(s). Selecting 0 Bars grants 2 indefinite ones.
When the Opponent gains a Power Charge, all dormant Fury are transferred to them. Fury Passives activate during Time Collapse, each granting 10% Base Attack. When Time Collapse expires or the Phase ends, the Opponent loses these Fury Passives.

Phase 3 - 50% to 2% Health

When the Opponent has 6 Power Charges, Kang suffers from a Time Collapse for 10 second(s).
The Opponent loses 1% of a Bar of Power every second. This increases by 1% every time they activate a Special Attack to a max of 7%, resetting after Time Collapse.
If the Opponent performs the same combo-ending attack (Fourth Light, Second Medium, or Heavy) twice in a row, they are Power Drained for 50% of a Bar of Power.
The Power Drain effect from Special Attack 1 is increased by 50% flat.

Phase 4 - 2% Health and below

At the start of this phase, Kang's Neuro-Kinetic Suit malfunctions and begins to leak energy. Its damage reduction is increased to 100% against everything other than Special Attack 3, and both Champion's Power is set to 0. Power Loop is removed entirely.
Additionally, Kang gains 18% of a Bar of Power every second, and the Opponent gains up to 25% of a Bar of Power every second, based on how close they are to Kang.
Kang is Unblockable and his Special 1 and Special 2 are Locked.
