Marvel Contest of Champions Champion Cards Guide

Marvel Contest of Champions: A Deep Dive into Champion Cards

Marvel Contest of Champions transcends the mobile gaming realm; it boasts an arcade version at Dave & Buster's, offering a unique twist on the MCoC experience. This arcade cabinet enables two-player 3v3 battles, with victory decided by a best-of-three format. The real draw, however, lies in the post-match reward: a Champion Card, a physical collectible featuring a Marvel hero or villain.

These aren't just collectibles; they're also in-game assets. Scanned into the machine, they let players choose specific champions before a match. With two series released, over 175 cards (including standard and foil variants) exist. This guide covers everything you need to know about MCoC Champion Cards, whether you're aiming for strategic advantages or collection completion.

What are Champion Cards?

Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by Marvel Contest of Champions arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. Representing various game characters, they allow champion selection in the arcade version. Without scanned cards, the machine randomly assigns champions.

Each card showcases an MCoC Marvel character and has a foil variant, mirroring collectible arcade cards from games like Mario Kart Arcade GP and Injustice Arcade. Series 1 featured 75 champions; Series 2 added 100, including reskins of Series 1 characters.

A card is dispensed to each player after every match, win or lose. The card received is random, ensuring equal chances for all players. Cards are drawn from either Series 1 (75 champions) or Series 2 (100 champions), each with rarer foil variants.

Champion Cards aren't mandatory for arcade play but add strategic depth and customization. Instead of random assignments, players can leverage their favorite cards for a competitive edge. While they don't transfer to the mobile MCoC, they enhance the arcade experience with a collectible element. For mobile MCoC improvement tips, check out our beginner's guide!

Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility

Like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards are highly collectible. While in-game functionality remains consistent, the pursuit of complete sets, including rare foil versions, drives many collectors. Series 2 introduced new designs alongside Series 1 characters, resulting in multiple versions of some cards.

The complete card roster includes:

• Series 1 (2019): 75 cards featuring classic MCoC characters.
• Series 2 (later release): 100 cards, including reskins and new characters.
• Foil variants: Rarer, more valuable versions of standard cards.

Collection goals vary: some aim for complete sets; others seek specific Marvel characters or foil cards. Their Dave & Buster's exclusivity adds to their appeal for Marvel enthusiasts. For digital roster building, consider playing MCoC on PC with BlueStacks for enhanced control, screen size, and gameplay smoothness.
