Marvel Contest of Champions Welcomes Ghost Rider


Ghost Rider is roaring into the scene of Marvel Contest of Champions—and he's doing it in all black and all leather, so you better get ready.

Marvel got in touch with Kabam Art Director Gabriel Frizzera and Game Designer Justin Ostensen to talk more about the new fighter in the roster, and how exactly he will blaze into the game.

It seems that Johnny Blaze's entrance into the game was all thanks to the Grandmaster under false pretenses to cook up a lot of trouble. And it's up to the Collector to beat his brother and get Ghost Rider back to his roster.

When Ghost Rider shows up in your roster, he'll be bringing in some interesting things that will make him even more fun to have on team. For instance, there's the Spirit of Vengeance, which is pretty much a powered-up version of Judgment.

And in the case of Ghost Rider, his Judgments will encompass the likes of Fate Seal, Life Steal, and Bleed. But the key to using them effectively for the new player is to ensure that they are timed and lined up in the right order to deliver the most insane of effects.

What's more, Ghost Rider's sense of justice will play up even more in Marvel Contest of Champions. Since he's always out to punish the wicked, he'll dole more punishment to villain opponents through his Evil's Bane. This power will increase his Armor and Critical Hit Chance against villains, making his Judgment effect even more effective.

But if there was any move that you may want to try with Ghost Rider, it would be his Special Move #3. Here, he'll be running your over with the Hellcycle in a very kick-ass move—by push-kicking it over his opponent. As if that's not overkill, he even does his Penance Stare so you can never rise from the dead, figuratively speaking.

So when can we play with Ghost Rider in Marvel Contest of Champions?

"With the Summoners' help, the Collector has been able to temporarily subdue the Spirit of Vengeance and he should be roaring into The Contest at any moment. Keep an eye on in-game messages and arena announcements to know when you can finally add Ghost Rider to your roster."
