Now THIS, is the definition of a skill-based champion. Intercepts counting for every single feat of strength is bonkers. Very excited to get my hands on him!
They started way earlier. I think the first one to have a totally unique animation should be night thrasher as he skates into battle. Or maybe even Iceman if you want to count him in. Point is they have done that for a longer time, just a bit more subtle.
the fact with Hercules' Run-In animation when fighting him as a Defender is gonna be more taunting than the debuffs themselves. Though, I loved what the animators did with that Taunting Run-In animation to give him a more expressive way. fyi, I voted for Omega Sentinel, but Hercules looks absolute well done here on the release. Can't wait for the interacting playstyle of his.
It's actually kinda funny that he has an always active blessing from Hera when you realize the type of history Hercules and Hera had in they myths, and how many times she tries to kill him lol
@@MarvelContestofChampions I was hoping it was possible since it's so hard to find a champ that can take advantage of both cosmic supremacy and CapIW's cosmic synergy at the same time. Hope the numbers line up...
@@MarvelContestofChampions not sure if you'll see this, Dave, but I did pull a 5* Hercules from the America Chevez crystals. My theory was right...those buff of his lasted a long time. It's an impractical team for questing (Herc +Beardo+Black Bolt+Thor+ Ronan), but fun to use of you're just playing Hercules for damage!
So, Hercules killed cm in 52 hits (the 2nd fight of the quest, mind you) . A *boosted* shang chi did it in 49 hits, and people still call Hercules weak 😒
I'm actually very excited for Herc & especially Chavez!! Though I can't wait to get Dazzler & Nova (Herald) in the game. Oh please ah please bring them two into the game 😭
Imagine if you could stack the sp2 crit buff Imagine you could get 9 big crueltys and if mister fantastic snergy works boy this guy can do mega damage!! pls kabam just give us a 3 star to play
These deep dives are very informative and cover every aspect of a champ ... Dorky is too passionate about this game and we'll being .... Hope to see more deep dives of buff champions 🔥🔥 keep it up Kabam ♥️
@@MarvelContestofChampions Great question! 1. He's unique for a Cosmic Champion. I sense that he was designed to hold his own against Mystic Champions since he doesn't force buffs on himself like Kamala Khan or have a ton of Armor Break for characters like Dragon Man to take advantage of. 2. Not only will he work well with the Suicide Masteries, but thanks to his synergies, he can take the edge off of Liquid Courage for Hero Champs. Ultra useful! 3. His playstyle just looks fun. He reminds me a little of Black Widow (DO) thanks to his intercepts and I've always liked characters that reward high skill. So, great work, MCOC!
Everything about this champion looks great from the fantastic animations to the well-designed mechanics. Well done to everyone who worked on him. I also love the hawkeye buff with that synergy, that paired with the +15% attack to hero champs synergy could be very juicy!
Deep dive came back for the best possible champ, I am very excited to get him on my acc,it will be really good to get him on one ofy side accs Great job kabam
@@MarvelContestofChampions I am very excited for the amazing crits and the burst with the frats,since I am a Greek mythology and a God Of War fan I already was excited for him,now I am really excited to get him.Also I love iHulk so he is kinda like him but with improvements.I am also really excited because of the synergies as I have quite a few of the champs here as one of my top champs.
@@MarvelContestofChampions immortality for sure and on the second position I'll say his immunities and buffs cause he can be used is a lot of scenarios
Looks like he's a pretty good counter for Buufed up and also there's a node in act 7 giving special attack bonus and has power shield . His immortality could really come in handy there .
Excited for this synergy! I love Immortal Hulk, I just wish his play style wasn't so punishing. Another thing that could be changed is the fact that you use your 15% gamma when you get to 1hp, instead of once you start healing after. If you're finishing the fight with a big combo but hit 1hp because of rage stacks you take a 15% hit to gamma and have to start next fight at 1hp and pay the gamma tax again. If you play the fights perfectly, you shouldn't get penalized.
After leaving school one needs to continue another classes for with MCOC Jezz . The explanation seems so easy but using him or even opening a crystal that will pop him will be another decade . Games should be a relaxing stuff for gamers not another Harvard university seems u guys ain’t getting it.
Can you put the Daredevil Vigilante … and i want it to be the stronger… please do it that would be amazing… anyway Hercules looks great Ps: if you like you can add The Daredevil Vigilante and Stick together
If you were to find yourself on Explosive Personality for example: You'll want to stack up those armors for damage, however, you don't want to reach 5 stacks as you'll want a way to remove them to avoid getting that 25% health penalty!
Keep in mind, when they showcased the 6* r3 he could still get 9 more charges on top of the 15 he had then, and he still hit a ~200k sp2 Also, neither of you have played him, so stop complaining
He looks good but I have a doubt... you can gain only 3 feats of strength per fight or you can just activate them alternating between heavies and intercepts?
its worrying that in the gameplay showcase he has suicide masteries on... hints he might lack damage in game and as a champion without immunities and that requires sp1 and sp2 throwing he will not actually be a good suicide candidate
I thought the labours of Hercules would be a little more interesting than just heavy , intercept and the most annoying of all GETTING KNOCKED DOWN?? no one's like a punch to the face man especially deliberately trying to get hit?
@@aparnarai3708 Yes it can be but who would take a hit to gain those charges better do intercepts or heavies. Also the infuriate seems pretty annoying for defence.
@@Insidious_Rage What do you expect then? A champ that would break the game, deal with every node and every other champion. C'mon let's not judge too early, it applies to me too I accept. I'm just here to say that. No offense intended else bro✌🏻
Not the apocalypse situation cause atleast Apocalypse had a huge amount of utility to back him up and was not A.I. reliant like hercules, also easy to build up. I think he is not a champ for everyone, only the most skilled can use him at his best.
@@Insidious_Rage But he's always healing from the Double Edge because the poison healing reduction potency is reduced for him. May be you hadn't noticed the red numbers🤔. A cosmic power boost would make him the BROKEN way you want him to be ig✌🏻. Sorry if I'm hurting your opinion bro. I'm just seeing so much potential in him. Again I may be wrong. Let's wait and see✌🏻... Again no offense, just supporting my point
I had a feeling he would have a synergy with hulk immortal given the fact that his signature it's basically like him normally. And of course Thor because I mean the stories have similar kind of beats and it kind of like brothers in some ways. Like they can relate to each other if that makes sense. I just like the synergies a lot like this is good I'm excited to play as this dude especially since the synergies are mainly oriented for well time blocks knowing how much I Parry a lot it is going to be my main backbone for my strategy. Although I don't think I intercept much and I need to learn how to do that better maybe that could be the next training grounds thing? I need to master dexterity as well cuz I have invisible Woman as a 5* and I still struggle sometimes to get it perfect
This was very informative Kabam! Good job. My personal wish is that we get new skins for the characters. You can probably make it so we need to spend gold/units to buy the skins for the characters. For instance, I would love to see buff for Silver Surfer where he can also turn into Black Silver Surfer. Herald Thor would also be awesome.
seems like with all the special intercepts he will need Black panther for the unblockable... its like ghost and wasp expect she has utility and damage whereas Hercules is weaker on the utility side. The damage is kinda good, expect when you compare it to say cosmic ghost rider who does more damage without ramping up

Where's the FIRST Place you're going to take Hercules to try him out?
Besides Winter Soldier in RoL..
Lmaoo So You guys Know he is a Punchbag 😂
If i get him i will try Act 4 Maestro boss fight
I'll have him in 6-7 months as a 3* so I might take him in act 3
I will use him to progress in Act 5
Depends... Do we get a free version of him ?
Now THIS, is the definition of a skill-based champion. Intercepts counting for every single feat of strength is bonkers. Very excited to get my hands on him!
Fancy a Grandmaster run do ya?
@@MarvelContestofChampions Always do!
I love how kabam is implementing more starting animations, first with cosmic ghost rider, then with spider-ham and now with hercules! Sick!
They started way earlier. I think the first one to have a totally unique animation should be night thrasher as he skates into battle. Or maybe even Iceman if you want to count him in. Point is they have done that for a longer time, just a bit more subtle.

Can't wait for the interacting playstyle of his.
Lol it's funny he's got poison resistance considering how he died
Bro 💀
underated mate
Probably why he has poison resistance
1:38 his run 🤣 when putting his finger down telling the opponent saying “You’re going down”
Our animators love when the community notice the extra flare 👌
@@MarvelContestofChampions noice keep up the good work mcoc team and more flares too 👌🏻😸
It's actually kinda funny that he has an always active blessing from Hera when you realize the type of history Hercules and Hera had in they myths, and how many times she tries to kill him lol
I mean, Hera did bless him since Athena tricked her into breastfeeding him as a baby.
His starting animation shows him pointing at the opponent and then pointing down. Epic.
Ok I’m interested. It’s definitely refreshing to see a cosmic who isn’t just furies and armor breaks. Can’t wait to try out the skill playstyle
LETS GOOOOOO. FINALLY AFTER FOREVER!
He's not even out yet, and I know I'm gonna love this dude. Well done on the motion comic too! :)
Hercules is like Luke cage + champion
•Good special attacks design by team
•Great work on character design
•Overall 👌👍
OMG that immortal hulk synergy is incredible!!!!!!! you can survive cool down at 0% health and still parry
so excited to play him when I get him in 3yrs
This has been really fun to follow, can't wait for this year's summoner choice
Seems like a really solid champ. Definitely worth it.
iHulk players gonna love that synergy
Hercules + CapIW +Thor + Black Bolt + Ronan/Kamala Khan. He's gonna have cruelty and precision buffs active for DAYS (+55% increased uptime)...
Ahh, so you fancy the art of Synergy crafting eh? That one sounds like Fun!
@@MarvelContestofChampions I was hoping it was possible since it's so hard to find a champ that can take advantage of both cosmic supremacy and CapIW's cosmic synergy at the same time. Hope the numbers line up...
@@woolvermeano.g.5522 Give us an update when you've given it a try! Good luck on your hunt for Hercules!

Chavez seriously?
@@TruthBeToldTP yuh. I have one of her comics lol
The FIRST Place i am going to take Hercules to try him out would be Alliance War. (only if I get a 4,5,6star Hercules)

Great to have you back bro. Really like how you break it down.
Sounds like a pretty god damn good champion.
1:37 look at Hercules 😁
Arena about to go crazy for Hercules
The synergies with the hills look damn spicy
Especially the Hulk rags one bit the immortal Hulk one seems pretty nice too

Damn this champion looks perfect! Great damage, nice utility, and absolutely amazing animations!
N his prestige is insane
Champion deep dive is very usefull. Thanks Kabam.
You're Welcome!!
I wasn’t sure about Herc at first, but now I’m pretty excited about this lad!
What changed your mind?

Thank you! What Hercules ability are you most excited for?
@@MarvelContestofChampions indestructibility and power gain after 3 special attack are very interesting

Finally got Karatemike in the Game!!! YES!!
Looking forward to testing out this champion.The attacks and win screen look well done.Good job kabam.The kit also sounds solid.
Sounds like everyday use champion, good job guys
Expect Hercules getting a 🤸🏻 on Seatins July champions ranking list
July list is already out!
@@NotFaizz i meant like the updated one
Hercules sounds like a beast!!
More champion deep dives!!! 🤩
Thank you for the 4*
Can’t wait for the early access bundle July 8th!!!!
kabam animation dept defo needs a raise and a pat on the backk 😍
Damn , that sp3 looks dope
Im loving it
This dude and buffed up is going to be a fun time.
Looks pretty good.. I like the synergies as well
I hope the pec flex animation is still in the final version!
would love to see sandman
Damn i already forgot about that charakter
awsome work dave
Hercules is the best champion of Marvel contest of champions ❤️
We're so glad you think so!! What's your favourite Hercules ability?
@@MarvelContestofChampions immortality for sure and on the second position I'll say his immunities and buffs cause he can be used is a lot of scenarios
No
Definitely not the best but hoping that he will be top tier
Looks like he's a pretty good counter for Buufed up and also there's a node in act 7 giving special attack bonus and has power shield . His immortality could really come in handy there .
seems op but gonna be a pain to pull him first.
You know the old saying.. No Pain No Gain 💪💪💪💪. Good Luck on your quest for Hercules!
He'll be in the basic crystals in 6 months so I'd expect you to get one in 7-9 months of his release based on how actively you play
Dave this was awsome bro
My Lord absolutely beyond God tier nicely done
The best synergy of Hercules has to be with Immortal hulk both gain really good benifts from it
Nice overview, bro.
Ayyyy , he's finally in the game 🥳🥳🥳
need to do this for every champ
Finally! The Deep Dives are back!
I didn't vote for him but he looks absolutely insane
Dave now working kabam please tell them boost OG Thor he so dam weak
Lmao 12k mediums from a 5 star doesn’t need buffing
This was 🔥 🔥
Next deep dive for the August champ in a week.
Actually looks great! You know if MSD is excited, we're in for something good.
7% fury potency on CapIW seems so specific. I wonder why that number was chosen
Hmmm I think its because his fury is already so strong
Because 7% x 5 furies = 35% increase - reasonable
But something like 10% x 5 furies = 50% increase - OP and doesn’t need that much
HYPE!
Kabam??? DO we get a free 3-star version of him? Please answer!
good chance there will be. id say probably
Looks like a God tier
It is so awesome to play him it is like he is buff 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
100% perfect block for immortal Hulk when immortality is on cooldown..
Are u kidding me🥰🥰🥰
Yes that what I'm looking for..
That's a juicy synergy with that Perfect Block goodness added to the parry stun times! Sounds like you're getting ready for a party!
Immortal Hulk may actually be god tier now!!!
Excited for this synergy! I love Immortal Hulk, I just wish his play style wasn't so punishing. Another thing that could be changed is the fact that you use your 15% gamma when you get to 1hp, instead of once you start healing after.

If you play the fights perfectly, you shouldn't get penalized.
to me the biggest disappointment is the true strike on the SP1 that can't really be kept up all fight unless you scarce your lv 3 and lv2
And i want 3⭐4⭐ and 5⭐ multiverse
Arena back right now 😤😤😤
Why did they even remove in the first place
It's the synergies for me 😈
Which one are you going to try first?!
@@MarvelContestofChampions definitely the hulk rags one. 55% fury? Heck yeah
Demon time 😈
Intresting immortality ✌️

lol, finally a champ that can take down howard and civil warrior...
Corvus
Can you put the Daredevil Vigilante
… and i want it to be the stronger… please do it that would be amazing… anyway Hercules looks great
Ps: if you like you can add The Daredevil Vigilante and Stick together
He looks awesome!
Gae
@@l.t.m6826 dude! Don't project on me what's inside you!!! LoL.
He will be great with his synergy in the hero variant
Just got him as a 6star yesterday morning lol only cost me 900 units
But it was worth it right?
@@JanthonyVega 100% a 6* is worth way more than 900 units
Such a massive massive damage.... 🔥
Insane potential for tons of damage, is there I limit cap to how many blessings he can have or can he infinitely keep stacking them?
max 12
I'm ready already
I miss these
So, the synergy with Beardo will never get used. Why would you want to remove armor when his sp2 relies on it for that bursty damage goodness?
If you were to find yourself on Explosive Personality for example: You'll want to stack up those armors for damage, however, you don't want to reach 5 stacks as you'll want a way to remove them to avoid getting that 25% health penalty!
Hmm, hadn't thought of that. Definitely would come in handy there
That potency on iwca is nice he allready hits hard
i can wait i already have a cosmic 1-2 6 star gem and 2-3 and 3-4 5 star gem, all of them with him name on them. that's if i pull him lol.
For a champ they’ve been hyping up more than any other character they’ve ever dropped, he seems extremely average
i agree...same fightstyle as BlackP OG
Keep in mind, when they showcased the 6* r3 he could still get 9 more charges on top of the 15 he had then, and he still hit a ~200k sp2
Also, neither of you have played him, so stop complaining
bruh, why are people unimpressed with a deep dive? apocalypse seemed average to everyone too, and now yall would kill for him lol
This aged like milk lmao
He looks good but I have a doubt... you can gain only 3 feats of strength per fight or you can just activate them alternating between heavies and intercepts?
Oh yeah Ima max out and defeat people like how I use my DOOOOOM
its worrying that in the gameplay showcase he has suicide masteries on... hints he might lack damage in game and as a champion without immunities and that requires sp1 and sp2 throwing he will not actually be a good suicide candidate
Well, you’re comment didn’t age very well… lmao
He's literally the missing piece for me...time to start saving units and 6* shards I guess lol
I thought the labours of Hercules would be a little more interesting than just heavy , intercept and the most annoying of all GETTING KNOCKED DOWN?? no one's like a punch to the face man especially deliberately trying to get hit?
Maybe hit them with a sp3 and take their sp1,2
and the utility is very lacking.... even the damage requires the suicide masteries, which are a bad idea with all the special attacks he has to throw
