Marvel Contest of Champions Launches Metamorphosis Event With 7-Star Crystals

Marvel Contest of Champions is running its Metamorphosis Event through May 20, 2026, offering Uncollected and higher Summoners progression-tuned bundles featuring Metamorphosis Crystals, Primordial Dust, and Ascension Rank Up Gems. The new Elder and Valiant tier crystals add a rare chance at 7-Star Ascended Champions and Ascendable Rank Up Gems.

Kabam is giving Marvel Contest of Champions players a focused window to reshape their rosters. The Metamorphosis Event is live now and runs until May 20, 2026 at 11:00 AM PT, putting progression-tuned bundles in front of every Summoner who has reached Uncollected status or higher.

What's in the Metamorphosis Bundles

The headline items inside the bundles are tuned to your account's progression tier, but every package draws from the same pool of high-value resources:

Metamorphosis Crystals — the centerpiece, with multiple tier variants
Primordial Dust — for Ascension
Ascension Rank Up Gems — usable on any Ascendable Champion
Additional progression resources scaled to your tier

The Three Crystal Tiers

There are three Metamorphosis Crystal variants, and where you land in progression determines which one is available to you:

Metamorphosis Crystal Pools

Elder & Valiant Crystals: Hero Crystal Shards, 6-Star and 7-Star Champions, a rare chance at a 7-Star Ascended Champion, plus a chance at a variety of Rank Up Gems for any Ascendable Champion in your roster.
Cavalier Crystals: A unique pool of 4-Star to 6-Star Champions for mid-progression Summoners.

Stacks With Solo Events

This isn't a standalone offer — every Metamorphosis Crystal you open also generates points in the concurrent Metamorphosis and Alteration Solo Events. That means anyone planning to dip into the bundles can effectively double-dip on rewards by chasing milestones in both Solo Events while opening their stash.

What This Means for Summoners

Metamorphosis Events are some of the better roster-building moments on the Contest of Champions calendar because they layer three things at once: high-tier Champion pulls, Ascension materials, and flexible Rank Up Gems. With the window closing on May 20 at 11:00 AM PT, Uncollected and higher Summoners chasing 7-Star Ascensions or rounding out their Valiant rosters have a tight runway to bank progress before the bundles disappear.
