As with any good fighting game, the characters in Marvel Contest of Champions have varying strengths and weaknesses, both of which are important to consider when you decide who to send into battle. As powerful as a hero may be, if they’re susceptible to damage such as poison and go up against a contender that utilises it, they’re likely to lose the encounter.

However, sometimes characters take very little damage from certain effects, and that’s where MCoC immunity comes into play. In this guide, we explain what Marvel Contest of Champions immunity is, the different types, and which champions have the good fortune of being immune.

We also have an MCoC duel guide, just in case you’re after some intense one-on-one action. You might want to consider taking a look at our MCoC synergy content as well, so you can learn more about the mechanic. Or, if you just want to know who kicks the most butt, check out our MCoC tier list.

Anyway, onto everything you need to know about MCoC immunity.
