Welcome to The Contest of Champions, Summoners!

Marvel Contest of Champions is a 2D Fighting video game with a wide variety of RPG elements available at your fingertips. Within The Contest are hundreds of Marvel heroes and villains battling for supremacy in The Battlerealm, a dimension that is a combination of many places and many times, all at once.

Within it, you will play as The Summoner, a being with the power to collect and summon their own Champions to fight for them, and to assist in handling the many disputes and power struggles across The Battlerealm.

To get started, launch the game and complete the Tutorial. Once you have gone through the Tutorial and received your introduction to the Collector, collecting Champions, ranking them, and are ready to dive into all that The Contest has to offer, it’s important to take a few moments to explore the Settings Menu, as well as the Main Screen.

The first thing you will want to make sure to do is create a Kabam Account, otherwise known as a Kabam ID! You will use this to log into your profile in the game from any mobile device, tablet, or on PC! This is required to be able to save your account for the future, and will enable you to make purchases in the Summoner’s Market, participate in giveaways on Twitch as a part of our livestreams, and much more!

Here, you can also control and change the in-game volume, sound effects, as well as the current frame rate. There are also a number of beta features that are being tested that Summoners are able to opt into if they wish.


Once you have finished creating your Kabam ID and are ready to dive into the game, feel free to hop into Fighting and Quests for a few tips on what to look for as you’re diving into Quests!

There are a few more tidbits included below for the curious Summoner about the Main Menu, Home Screen, as well as your player profile!

At the top, where your username shows, is the Summoner’s Profile, there will be a larger breakdown of the profile below.

Next to the Summoner’s Profile is the Energy Summary, where Summoners can see how much Quest Energy, Alliance Quest Energy, and Alliance War Energy they have available.

Clicking on the Player Profile will bring up each Summoner’s Profile. You can search for a specific Player Profile by using the Search function in the chat, as shown earlier. On the right side, you will find stats about the number of Champions you have collected, as well as stats of your time playing in The Contest, as well as your top ranked Champions and Relics.
