What is the Banquet Event in MCOC?
The Banquet Event is a special yearly celebration in Marvel Contest of Champions where players use their saved Units to open special crystals and complete milestones. During this event, you can earn some of the best rewards of the entire year, including powerful champions, rare materials, and exclusive items. It is the perfect time to grow your roster faster than normal.
It is finally December, which means one thing for Marvel Contest of Champions players: The Banquet Event is back. This year, Kabam is calling it the "Asgardian Gala."
If you’ve played through previous Banquets (formerly known as the Gifting Event), you already know this is the most rewarding event of the entire year for your roster. However, last year many players were disappointed due to poor crystal drops.
The good news? Kabam has listened to the community. Based on the Pre-Mortem details and official reveal slides, the 2025 Banquet Event focuses on consistency, value, and fair rewards for more players.
This guide will help you understand the full Banquet Event, crystal changes, milestones, ranked rewards, and the Holiday Sale strategy.

2. Superior Banquet Crystal 2025 – Full Rework Explained
Last year, many players felt Banquet Crystals were risky. Spending Units and getting low-value items was frustrating.
✅ What’s New in Superior Banquet Crystal (SBC) 2025?
Now, every single Superior Banquet Crystal will drop FIVE items at once:
- The Main Prize: The biggest featured reward.
- Catalysts: T3 Alpha, T6 Basic or T6 Class Catalyst (or fragments)
- Shards: 7-Star or Titan Shards.
- Relic Alloy: For Relic upgrades
- Gold or ISO.
✅ This means every open gives guaranteed progression, even if you don’t hit the jackpot.
3. Jubilant Crystal – The New Jackpot Reward
A brand-new ultra-rare crystal has been added in 2025 called the Jubilant Crystal.
🎯 What’s Inside the Jubilant Crystal?
- Nexus Titan Crystals
- Full Tier 7 Basic Catalysts
- First Appearance Founders Keeper Crystals
- Other top-tier late-game rewards
📊 Drop Rate & Pity System
- 7.77% drop chance from regular Banquet Crystals
- Grace System Added:
- If you open 15 SBCs without Jubilant,
- The 16th is guaranteed Jubilant
⚠️ Important:
- Opening the Jubilant Crystal gives 0 milestone points. It is pure bonus loot, not event scoring.
4. MCoC Banquet Event Milestones & Unit Cost Breakdown
The event runs on three tracks:
- Solo Event
- Alliance Event
- Realm Event
💎 Unit Spending Guide
- 10,800 Units (Net Cost) - Unlocks 3 Box Keys from all three tracks
- 15,600 Units (Net Cost) - Unlocks Kingpin or Absorbing Man Selector from Realm milestones
✅ The Solo Event cost has been reduced compared to last year – a huge win for free-to-play players.
5. Ranked Rewards 2025 – Much Easier to Win Big
In earlier years, only Top 90 players got the best Rank-Up Gems. That locked out most players.
🎉 New 2025 Ranked Reward Changes:
- Top 600 players now receive a 4-to-5 Rank Up Gem Crystal
- More ranking brackets added
- Better rewards spread across more players
- You no longer need to be a heavy spender (“whale”) to win big
✅ This is one of the best positive changes in the 2025 Banquet Event.
6. Holiday Unit Sale (Dec 23, 2025 – Jan 1, 2026)
If you plan to buy Units with real money, wait for this sale.
💰 Holiday Sale Bonuses:
- +50% Bonus Units

- Founders Keeper Box Keys (needed for Webstore milestones)
✅ This is the best time of the year to buy Units safely.
