Advanced Game Strategy – Marvel Contest of Champions
Here are some game strategies for advanced players.
The Infinite Streak
In the arenas, the matches get progressively harder as you continue winning . . . but only to a point; after that point, usually around 15 wins, the matches actually become easier. The so-called “infinite streak” is a method of getting to that point when the matches are easier. Here are a few methods for getting an infinite streak in the 4* arena (the numbers refer to the match you are fighting, so add one to the “number of wins” statistic the arena information displays for you):
Method 1:
Method 2 (for players with at least nine 4* 4/40 champions):
Block Proficiency Teams (also misleadingly known as Perfect Block Teams)
A block proficiency team is one that takes 0 damage when blocking light attacks or specials; one still must evade heavy attacks. Teams with high block proficiency are particularly effective on difficult quests, including Realm of Legends. The following are considered block proficiency teams (assuming maxed block proficiency mastery):
All champions need to be at Rank 4 to be fully block proficient.
The (Elusive) Perfect Mastery Setup
Everyone wants to know the “best” mastery setup. Each of us has our own opinion, but your best bet is to do your research and experiment for yourself based on your playing style, your goals, and what you do most (whether that be arenas, AQ, story quests, or some combination thereof).

Here are a few methods for getting an infinite streak in the 4* arena (the numbers refer to the match you are fighting, so add one to the “number of wins” statistic the arena information displays for you):
Method 1:
- 1-5: Use lowest PI teams
- 6-9: Use any teams – higher PI means more points quickly
- 10-13: These are the hardest fights. Two options:- Use four teams under 1400 PI;
- Sandbag – use 2 high PI champs with one base/unranked champ - 14-15: Use at least 3/30 4* teams to get matched against Kang’s Team or Thanos’s Team.
- 16-19: Use at least 3/30 4* teams again
- 20+: Use any team 4K and higher and you will never lose.
Method 2 (for players with at least nine 4* 4/40 champions):
- 1-10: anyone
- 11-13: 4* 4/40
- 14-20: 4* 3/30+

Teams with high block proficiency are particularly effective on difficult quests, including Realm of Legends. The following are considered block proficiency teams (assuming maxed block proficiency mastery):
- Dr. Strange [4*] + Dr. Strange [3*] + Scarlet Witch [Any*] = 43 BP
- Magneto [4* or 3*] + Black Bolt [4* if Magneto is 3*, otherwise 3* works] + Cyclops [Any*] = 48 or 43 BP
- Magneto [4*] + Magneto [3*] + Cyclops [Any*] = 43 BP
- Black Bolt [4*] + Black Bolt [3*] + Cyclops [Any*] = 43 BP
- War Machine [4*] + War Machine [3*] + Hawkeye [Any*] = 43 BP
All champions need to be at Rank 4 to be fully block proficient.
