The mysterious champions from Marvel Comics enter the list with the most precise roster of playable characters. These Mystic class champions are the nightmares of the Cosmic class champions due to their ability to remove Status Effect, Cosmic champions’ special attack, instantly.

However, while the Status Effect does not work on them, the slow, stun and enervating attacks of the super-serum-enhanced soldiers from the Science Class do severe damage.

Follow the MCOC tier list below for the best Mystic champions:

S tier: Doctor Doom, Rintrah, Diablo, Tigra, Claire Voyant (Recoil), Kushala
A tier: Magik, Dragonman, Longshot, Sigil Watch, Hood, Sorcerer Supreme, Mojo, Symbiote Supreme, Wong, Wiccan
B tier: Absorbing Man, Ebony Maw, Ghost Rider, Sasquatch, Manog, Morningstar, Mordo, Man-Thing, Dormammu, Juggernaut
C tier: Guillotine, Doctor Strange, Dorm, American Chavez, Purgatory, Thor (Jane Foster), Loki, Mephisto, Doctor Voodoo
D tier: Unstoppable Colossus, Iron Fist

MCOC tier list: Best Mutant characters

Mutants are the results of genetic mutations and most of them are the students of Professor Xavier. These Marvel Contest of Champions characters were exposed to genetic mutations at some point that gifted them their Superpowers.

Most of them come with regeneration abilities, making it hard for other champions (especially Skill Class) to defeat them. However, Mutants are vulnerable to the power-draining abilities of the Tech characters.

Here's the list of Mutant characters in the game:

S tier: Apocalypse, Archangel, Magneto Red, High Sig Omega Red, Kitty Pryde, Stryfe, Prof X, White Magneto
A tier: Bishop Domino, Cable, Havoc, Namor, Storm X, Gambit, Sunspot, Colossus, Storm, Wolverine
B tier: Red Deadpool, X-Force Deadpool, Old Man Logan, Iceman, Emma Frost, Sabretooth, Rogue, Toad, Weapon X
C tier: Psylocke, Jubilee, Mister Sinister, Captain Britain, Platinumpool, X-23, Sauron
D tier: Golden Deadpool, Nightcrawler, Beast, Cyclops

MCOC tier list: Best Science class characters

Science class characters in the Marvel Contest of Champions are considered to be among the best champions due to their powerful attacks and limited drawbacks. Spider-Man, Hulk, and other comic book heroes fall in this class.

Science class champions have been significantly powerful against the Mystic class characters. However, the highly trained fighters of the Skill class always give them a hard time.

This MCOC tier list ranks all the playable Science class characters below:

S tier: Void, Abomination, Captain America (IW), Mister Fantastic, Mister Negative, Spider-Ham, QuickSilver, Scorpion
A tier: Spidey 2099, Mister Negative, Human Torch, Immortal Hulk, Overseer, Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Quake, She-Hulk
B tier: Anti-Venom, Red Hulk, Joe Fixit, Thing, Sentry, Red Guardian,
C tier: Gladiator Hulk, Wasp, Yellow Jacket, Luke Cage
D tier: MODOK, Invisible Woman, OG Spider-Man, OG Hulk, OG Captain America, Rhino, Electro, Ant-Man

MCOC tier list: Best Tech characters

Ranking the best Tech class characters across the multiverse of Marvel has been among the toughest challenges while creating the MCOC tier list. While these champions can drain power from their opponent, their technology reliability makes them vulnerable against some classes.

Characters like Star-Lord from the Guardians of the Galaxy and Doctor Octopus are some exceptions in this otherwise android-heavy class of characters in the Marvel Contest of Champions.

S tier: Captain America (Sam Wilson), Ghost, Warlock, Nimrod, Ultron
A tier: Omega Sentinel, Hulkbuster, CA Sam Wilson, Nebula, Guardian, Punisher 2099, Penni Parker, Stark Spidey
B tier: Guilly 2099, Mysterio, Howard the Duck, Civil Warrior, Doctor Octopus, Infinity War Iron Man, Darkhawk, Silver Centurion, Sentinel
C tier: War Machine, Yondu, Vision, Vulture, Psycho-Man, Star-Lord, Kang
D tier: OG Iron Man, Red Skull, Rocket Raccoon, Green Goblin, Lab Ultron, Iron Patriot

The trained fighters of the Skill Class give a hard time to the Science class’ androids and other characters. Their accumulation of Bleed damage helps them in these fights. The Skill class champions have some heavyweights like Shang-Chi, Black Widow, Black Panther, and more.

However, these champions fail while facing the Mutant class since the Bleed damage falls short of their regenerative ability in Marvel Contest of Champions.

S tier: Falcon, Nick Fury, Kingpin, Shang-Chi, Valkyrie
A tier: Agent Venom, Aegon, Classic Black Panther, Black Widow, Chee’ilth, Blade, Elsa Bloodstone, Mole-man
B tier: Crossbone, Hit-monkey, Killmonger, Stealth-suit Spiderman, Massacre, Black Cat, Thor Ragnarok, Jabari Panther, Gwenpool, Hawkeye, Karnak, Night Thrasher, Misty Knight, Squirrel Girl, Ronin
C tier: OG Black Widow, Winter Soldier, Taskmaster, Elektra, Korg, Daredevil
D tier: OG Punisher, Moon Night, CW Black Panther

Here is the complete ranking of the best Cosmic class champions in the Marvel Contest of Champions.

S tier: Galan, Hercules, Ghost Rider, Hulking, Hyperion, Knull
