MCoC: Bullseye Counter

Bullseye was recently added to MCoC and since his release, players have experimented with counters to successfully defeat him.

Marvel Contest of Champions (MCoC) announced on Saturday, 6 January 2024, that players are now able to acquire Bullseye, however, little is known about this character. Since his release, players have questioned what his counter is.

Before deciding which hero you want to use to defeat Bullseye, we recommend that you carefully read through the active nodes as they can influence the fight.

For example, the Limber – 2.1 node reveals that every time the Defender receives a Stun Debuff, it reduces the Duration of further Stun Debuffs by 20 percent.

You therefore have to consider all the active nodes before deciding which character you want to counter Bullseye. Fortunately, there are various counters that you can use against Bullseye, namely Kitty Pryde, Domino and Aegon.

If you are yet to obtain these characters, you can use Cosmic Ghost Rider, Storm (Pyramid X) or Apocalypse Alternatively, players can select Hercules or White Magento to destroy Bullseye.

It is noteworthy that all of the recommended counters have unique abilities, masteries and relics. Players have to ensure that they understand the character that they select thoroughly.

If you fail at defeating Bullseye with one of the mentioned counters, you can experiment with another counter to see if that character will perform better in battle.

That being said, Bullseye also has a unique set of skills, masteries and relics. Before you enter the battle, it is advisable that you read through his skills to know what their effects will be on your counter.
