Pump It Up: Incursions Heats Up in Marvel Contest of Champions

Marvel Contest of Champions is spotlighting Incursions, its roguelite co-op mode where Summoners push squads through escalating rooms for bigger rewards. Developer Kabam is rewarding players who venture deeper into back-to-back fights. The mode is playable across iOS, Google Play, Steam, and direct download.

Marvel Contest of Champions is turning up the intensity in Incursions, the roguelite co-op mode that sends Summoners deep into escalating chambers of Marvel's mightiest heroes and villains. Developer Kabam is leaning into the mode's "pump it up" energy, rewarding players who push their rosters further into back-to-back fights for higher-tier loot.

What Incursions Brings to Marvel Contest of Champions

Incursions is one of the more strategy-forward modes in Marvel Contest of Champions, the long-running mobile fighting game where players collect and battle a roster of Marvel characters. Rather than a single fight, Incursions strings together a sequence of rooms that grow steadily tougher, asking players to manage their champions' health and abilities across an entire run. The "pump it up" framing underscores the mode's core loop: the deeper a Summoner ventures, the bigger the payoff — but the stakes climb with every room cleared.

The mode supports cooperative play, letting two players coordinate their squads and pool their strengths against shared challenges. That co-op layer rewards thoughtful champion selection, where synergies, counters, and class advantages matter as much as raw star ratings.

Why Summoners Keep Coming Back to the Contest

Launched by Kabam in 2014, Marvel Contest of Champions has grown into one of the most enduring Marvel mobile titles, built around the premise that "the greatest battles in Marvel history are in your hands." Players assemble teams of Marvel champions — from Spider-Man and the Avengers to fan-favorite villains — and pit them against one another in fast, touch-based combat. Modes like Incursions give veteran Summoners a reason to keep refining their rosters long after they've cleared the main story content.

The game is available across iOS, Google Play, Steam, and a direct download client, keeping the Contest accessible whether players are on a phone or a desktop. Kabam regularly rotates events, champions, and mode tuning to keep the meta fresh.

What This Means for Summoners

For players already grinding the Contest, a renewed spotlight on Incursions is a cue to dust off their best dual-threat champions and plan deeper runs. The mode rewards roster depth, smart resource management, and a reliable co-op partner — so coordinating with an alliance teammate before diving in can pay off. Summoners looking to maximize their rewards should treat each run as a marathon, balancing aggression against the rising difficulty of every new room.
