Knull
CosmicA tier
Introduction
Knull is a character in Marvel Contest of Champions. Knull's role is Cosmic.
On our Marvel Contest of Champions tier list Knull is A tier, 67th of the 297 characters ranked, from where 9 current tier lists put Knull.
Is Knull good?
Knull's Necrosword attacks deal heavy Instant Bleed damage while the opponent is Corrupted, and combining Armor Break with his Living Abyss debuffs strips Armor Up buffs easily. His awakened Signature removes the opponent's regeneration entirely while Corruption is active, and thanks to his Bleed and Poison resistance plus lifesteal from Symbiote Attacks, Liquid Courage and Double Edge are both strong picks on him.
Champions that don't rely much on Combat Power Rate have an easier time against him, and Reverse Controls Immunity lets opponents dodge the scariest part of his Corruption mechanic. A tier for a strong Bleed and Armor Break-focused Cosmic.

Background
When all that existed was the darkness there was Knull and he thrived in it.
But when the Celestial’s creations began consuming his Living Abyss with radiant light, he retaliated.
Knull felled one of these primordial gods, absorbing its power and forming All-Black, the Necrosword.
With the power of the Celestials on his side and sheer darkness as his weapon, Knull spawned an army of his own, the Symbiotes.
Creatures formed from darkness and fear and designed to extinguish the light.
