Hello, everyone

UPDATE:

Downtime for v14.50 has ended. Jet back and equip the latest item from Stark Industries.

As a reminder, the second cup in the Marvel Knockout Super Series — the Ghost Rider Cup — happens tomorrow! Get warmed up with your Trios team and scorch through the competition to be one of the first to put on Ghost Rider’s Outfit and Back Bling.

And in case you missed the announcement, Lachlan’s Pickaxe Frenzy also happens this week. In this tournament (from the mind of Lachlan himself), compete for a chance to win Lachlan’s full Icon Series set before it arrives in the Item Shop.
