Korg
SkillA tier
Introduction
Korg is a character in Marvel Contest of Champions. Korg's role is Skill.
On our Marvel Contest of Champions tier list Korg is A tier, 84th of the 297 characters ranked, from where 8 current tier lists put Korg.
Is Korg good?
Korg is immune to Bleed and Shock, shutting down damage-over-time from champions like 
Blade, 
Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced), 
Wasp and 
Nightcrawler, and he periodically goes 
Unstoppable or Unblockable in a way that punishes Dexterity users. His awakened kit has a good chance to shrug off debuffs and gain a Rock Shield charge, hurting debuff-reliant champions like Void or 
Luke Cage, which makes him a strong Alliance War and Battlegrounds defender.
Energy Attacks bypass his Thorns and hit him extra hard though, with 
Bishop, 
Dormammu, 
Magneto, 
Doctor Strange, 
Black Widow (Claire Voyant) and 
Human Torch all real threats, and heavy Regeneration champions like 
Wolverine can shrug his Thorns off entirely. S tier for one of the strongest defensive Skill champions around.

Background
Oh, hey there, my name is Korg. As you can see.
. . I am made of rocks. Perishable rocks, though, so don't put me into fights thinking I am invincible, unless my opponent is made of scissors.
Ha! . . . Anyway, Miek is here too and wants to help, so instead of blocking with my rock arms, I let Miek taste some of the action!
After all, that's what friends are for!

7Rock Anatomy
PassivePassive Rock anatomy provides Korg immunity to Bleed, Shock, and additional Critical Resistance, but decreases his Energy Resistance by 20%.
Crowd Excitement
PassiveThe crowd goes crazy when Miek makes an appearance while Korg is blocking an attack, increasing Crowd Excitement by 1 for 20 seconds. +2 on Well Timed Blocks. Only 6 Crowd Excitement charges can be gained through this ability. The crowd dislikes cowards, cheering for Korg when opponents Evade or Dexterity his Basic Attacks, increasing Crowd Excitement by 3 for 20 seconds. Only 12 Crowd Excitement charges can be gained through this ability. When Crowd Excitement reaches 6 or more, Korg becomes Unstoppable and Unblockable for 2 seconds. Dev Notes: Korg is going to be a great counter to opponents who Evade, like Spider-Man and Quake, as well as opponents who rely on Dexterity to activate their abilities like Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced). Miek expels fluids on opponents when hitting with a Heavy Attack, creeping out the crowd and consuming all Crowd Excitement to inflict Armor Break, reducing their Armor Rating by 1027.47 for each Crowd Excitement charge for 8 seconds.
At tier 7
Rock Shield
PassivePassive - Rock Shield Korg begins the fight with 9 Rock Shield charges which are removed each time he is struck.

While Rock Shield is active, powerful enemy attacks cannot deal more than 40% of the opponent's Attack Rating in a single hit. Special 3 Attacks cannot deal more than 120% of the opponent's Attack instead. When all charges are consumed, Rock Shield is shattered and it takes between 11 and 15 seconds to reform. Each time Rock Shield reforms, it starts with 1 less charge.
Rock Hard Thorns
SignatureWhile Rock Shield is active and Korg is struck by a Medium, Heavy, or Special Attack that makes contact, 4547.5 - 12731.79 Physical Damage is inflicted to the opponent.

Special 1 - Hey, take it easy man!
SpecialOh man, is that what this thing does? I thought it was just going to like, shoot some net or something. I oughta be careful with this thing. Opponents cannot Evade this attack. This attack is Unblockable if Crowd Excitement is greater than 1.
Special 2 - Rocknado
SpecialWhen I was a kid, I said I wanted to be a tornado in class one day and all the other kids laughed at me. But now my dream came true! Attack Rating for 2.5 seconds if Korg is Unblockable. At tier 7: 10911.6 Inflicts Bleed, dealing 10002.3 Direct Damage over 8 seconds.
At tier 7
Special 3 - Friendly Fire
SpecialMiek said he wanted to help, but his legs are too small so I have to throw him and stuff. Don't worry, his shell is quite resilient. I reckon he'll be okay. Crowd Excitement goes up by 9 for 20 seconds.
