Tech
Iron Man
Introduction
Iron Man is a character in Marvel Contest of Champions. Iron Man's role is Tech. Faction: The Collector.
On our Marvel Contest of Champions tier list Iron Man is B tier, 119th of the 297 characters ranked, from where 8 current tier lists put Iron Man.
Is Iron Man good?
Iron Man wants to stack Armor Up as high as possible by attacking without dropping combos, landing his Special 2, and Well-Timed Blocking the opponent's Specials to pause the buff's decay, and at 12 stacks his Arc Reactor kicks in to boost a lot of his offense, especially Special 1. The more Armor Up he's holding when that happens, the stronger the Arc Reactor gets, so keeping the stacks up matters as much as building them.
Armor Break, Armor Break immunity, and Heal Block or Heal Inversion are all real problems since they strip or waste that same resource. A tier for a strong Tech champion built around one core resource.
Strengths
- Arc Reactor at 12 Armor Up stacks boosts offense significantly
- Large natural Regeneration, further improved by Recovery
- Inequity and Despair both scale well off his debuff output
Weaknesses
- Armor Break strips the stacks his whole kit depends on
- Armor Break immunity denies one of his key tools
- Heal Block or Heal Inversion undercut his regeneration

Skills
6Armor Up
PassivePersonal Armor Ups increase Armor Rating by , lasting indefinitely up to 5 stacks. Additional stacks last for 6 seconds. While an Armor Up is active, Iron Man is Immune to Coldsnap, Frostbite, and Incinerate. At tier 7: 523.81 Personal Armor Ups increase Critical Resistance by , cannot be removed by Nullify or Stagger, their Ability Accuracy can only be modified by Cosmic Champions, and when they expire naturally the Opponent is Power Locked for 0.2 seconds. At tier 7: Critical Resistance 70.51 Gain 1 Armor Up Buff when the fight starts and when Iron Man’s Combo Meter passes a multiple of 5.25% chance to gain an Armor Up Buff when struck or Blocking an attack. Well-Timed Blocking an Opponent’s Special Attack pauses Armor Ups for 10 seconds, and activating a Special Attack pauses them for 5 seconds per Bar of Power spent. These pauses expire one at a time. Dev Notes: The Armor Ups cannot be removed by Nullify effects, but it does not prevent Nullify effects from triggering.
At tier 7
Arc Reactor
PassiveWhen reaching 12 or more stacks of Armor Up, the Arc Reactor activates and gains 100 Reactor Charges. The Arc Reactor grants 9093 Attack Rating. Gain an additional 363.72 Attack Rating for each Armor Up above 12 stacks. Any effect that increases the potency of Armor Ups also increases the potency of these Attack Rating bonuses by the same amount. Striking with or being struck by Basic Attacks consumes 1 Reactor Charges. Reaching 0 charges causes the Arc Reactor to expire and consume 12 Armor Ups. Dev Notes: In order to deliver the maximum amount of damage possible it is very important to keep the stacks of Armor Up above 12 while the Arc Reactor is active.
At tier 7
Iron Man Armor Mark III Upgrade
Signature AbilityIncrease the potency of Armor Ups by . At tier 7: Potency % 6.98 - 33% Double the amount of Block Proficiency gained during the Opponent’s Special Attacks. While Iron Man's Health drops below 15%, gain a Regeneration Passive granting 13.95 - 65.9% of missing Health over 6 seconds. Pressing Block 2 times while performing a Special Attack triggers the Regeneration with 50% reduced Potency. As an Attacker this Regeneration can only trigger once per Quest.
At tier 7
Uni-Beam
Special 1Special 1 - Uni-Beam Iron Man takes flight and activates his chest-mounted uni-beam projection gun. Each hit inflicts an Armor Break Debuff, removing one Armor Up and reducing Armor Rating by 1178.57 for 20 seconds. For every 1 Prowess Invalidated during this Special Attack, gain 1 Armor Up Buff. Arc Reactor: This Special grants no Power to the Opponent. Dev Notes: While the Arc reactor is active, the Special 1 is the best way to inflict maximum damage, since it inflicts lots of empowered Armor Breaks while giving no Power to the Opponent.
At tier 7
Smart Missiles
Special 2Special 2 - Smart Missiles Iron Man sends his opponents flying with a pair of highly explosive missiles. On activation, gain 5 Armor Up Buffs. Activating the Arc Reactor during this Special grants 15 Reactor Charges for each Armor Up above 12 stacks. Dev Notes: Special 2 does not offer a lot of damage or utility but it offers the fastest way to activate the Arc Reactor since it grants so many Armor Ups, and possibly some extra Arc Reactor Charges when activated in the right time.
Micro Missiles Barrage
Special 3Special 3 - Micro Missiles Barrage Iron Man shoots a barrage of micro missiles that obliterates his opponent. Gain 7 Armor Up Buffs and refresh all existing Armor Ups. Inflict an Incinerate Passive dealing 27279 Energy Damage over 20 seconds. While this effect is active, striking the Opponent or their Block pauses all personal and synergy Incinerate effects for 0.5 second. Dev Notes: Special 3 is not as a good option as Special 2 to quickly activate the Arc Reactor, but it grants another source of damage that can be combined with the Special 1. The damage potential for the Special 3 increases quite a bit when combined with Synergies that can interact with the incinerate pause.
