Marvel Contest of Champions Villains Surge in August

- August introduces Solvarch and Cassandra Nova as formidable new Champions - The Rebirth Event launches August 8th with rare 7-Star Champions up for grabs - Act 8: The Rebirth and Summoners Fest deliver intense combat challenges

While July's update spotlighted Human Torch, Kabam keeps the momentum blazing with Marvel Contest of Champions' August update. Players face two dangerous new adversaries, a villain-driven narrative, and grueling quests that'll push veteran Summoners to their limits.

The roster expands dramatically this month with two sinister additions. First arrives Solvarch, a chilling Eidol capable of freezing opponents instantly before detonating absorbed energy in explosive bursts. Earn this icy antagonist beginning August 7th.

See how these characters fare against the rest in our Marvel Contest of Champions tier list!

Cassandra Nova emerges August 28th as the second new Champion - a terrifying psychic entity familiar from Deadpool & Wolverine. As Professor X's malevolent counterpart, she's poised to unleash chaos throughout The Battlerealm.

This villain invasion extends beyond characters. The Rebirth Event kicks off August 8th, resurrecting classic foes with enhanced abilities and greater difficulty. Collect Rebirth Tokens to unlock elite 7-Star Champions like Night Thrasher, Anti-Venom, and Doctor Voodoo before September 3rd.

The permanent Crucible Chapter arrives August 13th in Act 8: The Rebirth. This brutal eight-boss trial features Elimination Choice Nodes that demand strategic Champion selection. Newcomers can tackle the Act 8 Mini Crucible designed specifically for 2 and 3-Star Champions.

Summoners Fest caps off the update through Seasons 30 and 31. Earn points worldwide to climb leaderboards and potentially qualify for November 8th's Battlerealm Brawl Quarter Finals in Vancouver.
