So I have been using cheats in this game for quite awhile now and I have not yet been banned. I know what you're probably saying though, "Not yet." Well I have seen people come and go and I have yet to be banned. Heres my tips. And remember nothing of what I say is a guaranteed safe account and at any point this could change and you may be banned.
Edit: I'm currently in the process of making a new account and getting to see how hard you can hack and testing different things to see if you get banned.
So let's make some things clear on how Kabam goes with their cheaters.
1. Accounts don't seem to be banned on the spot, they are marked and then banned in waves (I have survived waves, I've cheated in this game for multiple months)
2. They don't take it too seriously, until you start interfering with rankings and alliances
Here's my tips and what I have done to avoid bans. Note that when I say "trigger" this means that your account is flagged or gets investigated when you use cheats or have a suspicious completion
EDIT: If you are planning on not getting banned whatsoever. DO NOT use the Auto-Win cheat. I used this awhile back safely but upon 3 days after starting to use it again to do a simple fight in event quest I was banned for 720 hours. Use the multiplier cheat or the never hit but auto-win is going to get you flagged instantly.
- Anything within normal story above Act 3 is a trigger. DO NOT use any type of cheat ("No attacking" or "Auto-Win") above Act 3
- DO NOT use cheats in Arena. There is talk out there about the "No attacking" cheat being safe to use for the milestones. In my opinion if you want to cheat safely don't use any of them. Plus, infinite winning streaks are fairly simple to do without cheating. This may trigger your account. Especially if you are trying to get the featured character
- Realm Of Legends and Labyrinth of Legends (1 clear every week or so) seems to be safe. I went full cheat mode on Realm and did it within like 10 minutes with 3 star characters and I never got banned. But to be safe, lose a fight.... or 3. Regarding Labyrinth of Legends however, I only did 1 completion per week. I used the Auto-Win feature for the last couple and I'm safe. If you complete any of these 2 events DO NOT TALK ABOUT YOUR COMPLETIONS TO YOUR ALLIANCE MATES OR IN PUBLIC CHAT. People are smart in this game and know if you have the characters possible to even do it legitly so they will report you. Also if you 100% the labyrinth.... DO NOT USE YOUR UNIQUE 5* ULTRON IN AQ, AW DEFENSE OR OFFENSE, OR AS YOUR PROFILE PICTURE. This shows people you have done this and again, people will know if you are legit because only top players should be able to beat those modes.
- Event Quests. Event quests seem to be safe from my experience. I have 100% both variant quests. The only thing I would say as far as event quests go, DO NOT tell anyone you have beat them.
- DO NOT race to legends title. When a new event comes out wait a week before touching it. When new events come out they hold the "Legends Title" races. So they examine every run that completes it so they can determine who was cheating or not to decide winners and you do not want your time to be in the finalist area. They will notice it.
- This one is obvious but some people still do it. DO NOT talk about cheating or how you are getting so many 5* characters or anything you do with the cheat. Kabam might seem like they don't care and look at chat, but you will know wrong once you see a yellow banner go up in chat by a bot with a Kang profile picture that says someone has been banned in your chat room.
How I personally think you should use this cheat
Complete Act 1-3, RoL, LoL and some variants. See where you stand on characters. Do you have well known god tier characters or characters you like after all of that? Good Play legit except for event quests that you struggle on. DO NOT rely on this cheat to carry you through the whole game. If you dont have characters you like... start a new account. The game can be fun playing legit too. Don't rely on the cheat to hold your hand in every aspect of the game. Thats when you get banned.
I hope this helps you. Happy Cheating
