Marvel Contest of Champions: A Deep Dive into Champion Cards
Marvel Contest of Champions (MCoC) isn't just a mobile game; it boasts an arcade version at Dave & Buster's, offering a unique twist on the MCoC experience. This arcade cabinet lets two players engage in thrilling 3v3 battles, with the victor decided by a best-of-three match. However, the real draw is the post-match reward: a Champion Card, a physical collectible featuring a Marvel hero or villain from the game.
These aren't mere collectibles; they're scannable, allowing players to choose specific champions before a match. With two series released, over 175 cards exist, including standard and rarer foil versions. This guide covers everything you need to know about MCoC Champion Cards, whether you're aiming to boost your gameplay or build a complete collection.
Understanding Champion Cards
Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by MCoC arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. Each card represents a game character and can be used to select champions during arcade play. Unscanned cards result in random champion selection.
Each card showcases a specific 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, while Series 2 expanded this to 100, including reskins of Series 1 characters.
Every player receives a card after each match, regardless of victory or defeat. The card is randomly selected from the available series. Series 1 offers 75 unique champions, while Series 2 expands the roster to 100, with each card having a rarer foil counterpart.
While not mandatory for arcade play, Champion Cards add a strategic and customizable layer. Instead of random champions, players can strategically select their favorites. Note that these cards don't transfer to the mobile MCoC game but enhance the arcade experience with a collectible element. For mobile MCoC tips, explore our beginner's guide!
Rarity and Collectibility
Like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards have strong collectible appeal. While all cards function identically in the arcade game, collecting the full set, including rare foil versions, is a popular pursuit. Series 2 introduced new designs and reskins of Series 1 characters, leading to multiple versions of some champions.
Card Breakdown:
- Series 1 (2019): 75 cards featuring classic MCoC characters.
- Series 2 (Later Release): 100 cards, including reskins and new additions.
- Foil Variants: Rarer, more valuable versions of standard cards.
Collectors may aim for a complete set, specific Marvel characters, or exclusively 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 and gameplay.
Acquiring Champion Cards
Currently, these cards are exclusively available at Dave & Buster's locations with the MCoC arcade cabinet. They cannot be purchased in-game or earned through the mobile version.
Collection Strategies:
- Frequent arcade gameplay for new cards.
