FINAL MCOC WISHLIST RANK: #10 most-wanted champ
CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT https://playcontestofchampions.com/champion-spotlight-jubilee/
EDITORāS REVIEW The community asked for a lot of things for this champ, and MCOC came through. Flavor: perfect.Ā Bright pink, yellow, and blue with the proper colored fireworks animations, and a jubilant, youthful attitude. Her mechanics are similar to the way the community envisioned. Things we got right: energy basic attacks, a variety of non-damaging utility debuffs, Prowess. Differences: speculation that she might be a plasma champ, like Havok, was empty: the word āplasmoidsā comes up in her Spotlight, but it is apparently only for flavor. Instead her energy plasma damage gives herĀ alternatingĀ Shock and Incinerate DOT debuffs. ImagineJimās idea for persistent charges did not end up in the build, but the persistence of her pre-fight mode selection isnāt totally dissimilar. It is not known whether anyone in the community expected a mode-switching champ. My ideas for light-based debuffs like Dazzle or Fleeting Blindness didnāt happen.Ā My thought she might reduce the effectiveness of her opponent was exactly right, including my suggestion she would reduceĀ Accuracy, which she does by placingĀ Concussion. But she also does it throughĀ Suppression (combat power dampening), Slow (disabling Evade and Unstoppable), and perhaps most appropriately Taunt (increasing Special chance). ImagineJimās idea, that she could consume her Prowess effects came true, but she does it to increase S3 damage, not to Power Gain, as Jim supposed. The āSlippery Mindā trivia piece, that Jubilee is telepath resistant or immune, slipped through the cracks. Thereās nothing about Telepathy immunity or resistance in her Spotlight.
ORIGINAL MCOC WISHLIST POLL (RANKER.COM) DESCRIPTION Probable Class: MutantĀ (1980s Classic) and/orĀ MysticĀ (Vampire); #X-Men; Plasma-light blasts look like fireworks. Youthful, exuberant animations. Brightness/blinding/flashbang/dazzle. Telepathy immune.
FULL DESCRIPTION OF PAST SPECULATIONS
High-Level Champ Idea
A playable Jubilee in Marvel Contest of Champions would be Mutant Class. While she has been at times depowered and became a vampire, sheās quintessentially a mutant character.Ā
There are few more colorful, iconic looks among the X-Men than that of Jubilee, with her bright fuchsia accents and electric canary yellow trench coat matching the X-Men logo. She would likely have brightly colorful character design and fireworks attacks, with body language that expresses exuberance and youthful style.Ā
In terms of utility, Summoners would expect a myriad of Energy Damage options, and maybe some kind of sight impairment, Distraction, or Plasma.
In terms of synergies, she should pair up with Wolverine and the 1990s X-Men blue team. Other sparkly-shiny female champs could include Dazzler and Karolina Dean.
Jubilee in Other Games
Sheās been in many games, including most recently
Marvel Super War,Ā Marvel Puzzle Quest, andĀ Marvel Future Fight. Update December 2020: she has been teased forĀ Marvel Strike Force, which means sheās now in all the major Marvel mobile games except for MCOC. She was also in the Marvel mobile deck-building gamesĀ Marvel: War of HeroesĀ andĀ X-Men: Battle of the Atom, and games on other platforms includingĀ Marvel Heroes,Ā X-Men LegendsĀ andĀ Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes (1998).
Jubilee and Summoners
She enjoys more thanĀ 100 mentionsĀ in the Wishlist 3.0 thread on the message boards. She has more thanĀ 900 upvotesĀ on the MCOC Wishlist Poll on Ranker, having lived in the top 15-20 on that list for a very long time.
Jubilee is also a fond favorite of the UMCOC Podcastās celeb host, Dragon, and a favorite of several other well-known content creators. MCOC Futurism Society member TheRealApoc reacted to the announcement in 2020 of The Summonerās Choice Champion Vote event:Ā āthe champion that should be on that poll is for my @McocSociety team member @umcoc_DragonĀ . . . is Jubilee!ā Profile image creator Universal Soldier has also done a piece or two based on the idea of an MCOC Jubilee.
How Summoners Imagine a Jubilee Kit
Summoner HankSpector suggested some synergies here.Ā
The original write up by Other MCOC Gabe, from the MCOC Wishlist Poll, was as follows:Ā
she is an energy-output champ with really fun implications for game animation: fireworks. She can Blind opponents with harmless but bright flashes, or detonate explosions to cause serious Armor Break and Energy Damage. True to the comics, her mind would also be Immune to telepathy.
Content creator ImagineJim, who makes very popular and widely-circulated fan builds of different characters, finally posted his build on June 14, 2020. The editor of this blog, Other MCOC Gabe, collaborated on the build. This is the fan build Jim posted:
In a Theory Thursday feature in June 2020, Other MCOC Gabe tweeted a fan idea for a brightness debuff that Kabam could callĀ āDazzle,ā or something similar, and listed Jubilee among future champs (such as Living Laser, Monica Rambeau, Moonstone, and obviously Dazzler) who could introduce this debuff.
