Get Your Free Crystals, Know Your Crystals

Crystals are one of the most important items in  Marvel Contest of Champions. You will be using them to summon new champions and to strengthen existing ones. A different type of crystal is used for each of these processes. First, let's take a look at the most important crystals in the game and what they do.

CRYSTAL NAME GIVES / AWARDS
Alliance Crystal Gives boosts to champions. It can only be purchased from the Alliance Store, one per day.
Arena Crystal Award of the arena matches. May award rare 5-star heroes.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6-Star Crystal Awards a 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6-star champion respectively. Used for summons.
Quest Crystal Gives ISO-8 and Energy. Provided at the end of quests, as a reward.

There are more than 50 crystal types in the game, but these are the most important ones you need to know. With the exception of two, you can buy all the Marvel Contest of Champions crystals for real money or earn them as an activity prize. However, these two crystals are completely free. The first of these is the "green" free crystal. You can claim one every 4 hours. It awards consumable items and gold – you cannot summon a champion with this.

Keep Calm and Continue To Replay

After completing half of Act 1, you'll find that fights are becoming increasingly challenging. You can browse our other guides for some combat tips that will benefit you. However, you will soon be faced with a competitor you cannot defeat – unless you choose to summon high-level heroes with real money, your current hero roster will be insufficient to proceed sooner or later.

You can replay even 100% completed episodes. If an episode doesn't look 100% complete, this means there's still something you can do.

You don't need to purchase heroes from the in-game store to solve this problem. To reinforce your current roster, you can re-play the completed tasks. You will continue to win prizes. And you can use these rewards to strengthen your heroes.

In short, you can strengthen your hero roster completely free with a little patience. If you're having a hard time with a certain quest, don't bother – your heroes aren't strong enough for that mission. Instead, reinforce them with rewards that you get from the replayed missions.

Don't Forget To Use Boosters

Note that if you need extra help to complete difficult tasks, you can use various "boosts". If you join an alliance, you can start earning crystals that give these boosts, as mentioned above. These are powerful buffs and they can help you to win even the most challenging fights. However, unlike class bonuses, you need to purchase them with in-game currencies.

Focus On 3-Star And More Heroes

By completing the quests and using the free methods we have mentioned above, a large number of heroes you get will be 1 and 2-stars. Don't waste time and resources to upgrade them: Even if you have the resources to upgrade a 2-star hero, its is always a better idea to use them for top-tier heroes. You can sell or accumulate 1 and 2-star heroes to win various prizes. This is a progressive system: When you get access to 4-star heroes, start using your resources for them and forget about 3-star ones. When you find 5-star heroes, transfer your resources to them. Never spend resources for low tier heroes – it will last long, and you're able to collect all 5-star heroes if you are patient enough.
