Kingpin

Kingpin was the 16th Featured Champion, being featured for the month of December 2017. (Kingpin was available in the Monthly Calendar for December 2017.)

Kingpin is a Skill Champion. Being a Skill Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Science Champions, but is weak to Mutant Champions.

Bio[]

Wilson Fisk, kingpin of crime in New York City, rules the underworld with ruthless efficiency. Gaining power through numerous illegal ventures and intimidation, Kingpin has gone toe-to-toe with the likes of Spider-Man and Daredevil and kept pace thanks to his incredible physical prowess and strength. Now the infamous crime lord has set his sights on the Contest and its rich supply of dangerous black ISO-8. For Fisk, the Contest is just another city to conquer.

Mechanics[]

Kingpin is the master of Debuffs, build them on yourself and convert them into a massive Overpower Fury. Using the unstoppable from his SP2 and Heavy attack, pressure your opponent into submission and gain massive bonuses. Weave in some Special 1 attacks and tanking a few hits during your Heavy Attack will result in much lower damage received!

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

Debuff shrugging
- Debuffs are no problem for Kingpin with his consistent Debuff shrugging and rage generation. Pair him with Hood or Joe Fixit for more effective shrugging
Raw Damage
- Kingpin gains a ton of bonus attack from Overpower, and Rage. Use this to your advantage and melt your opponent!
Damage over time
- Kingpin's dot damage is Black ISO Degen, which few champions are resistant to. This makes him more reliable against bleed immune champions.

Weaknesses[]

Ability Accuracy Reduction
- Lowering Kingpin’s Ability Accuracy will cause his Debuff shrugging to fail and cripple his damage. Apocalypse and Omega Red can stop him from purifying. Bishop and Havok deals a burst of damage if any of their Debuffs are purified. Plus they have Class Advantage.
Nullify/Fate-Seal/Stagger
- Much of Kingpin’s power comes from both his Unstoppable Buff, and Overpower. Be careful to not get caught by nullify and keep those buffs up!

Recommended Masteries[]

Willpower
- Kingpin is going to be sitting on debuffs most of the fight, attach willpower and enjoy free healing all day with no penalty.
Inequity
- Pair Kingpin’s SP1 with inequity to push the opponent’s attack even further down!
