Marvel Contest of Champions – Founder’s Saga War
The final Eidol chase has begun!

The saga explores the mystique surrounding legendary figures within The Battlerealm, commencing with the arrival of the artificial lifeform Isophyne, followed by the fearsome assassin Lumatrix, and the enigmatic Wolf of the Stars Solvarch. Anticipation builds as players await the arrival of Imperiosa, the epitome of Eidol creation, embodying the collective genius of all Founders. The chase for Imperiosa commenced on September 17 and runs through December 7, allowing players to collect “Invade Essence” necessary to acquire her.
