Festival of Fortune

Just in time for a fashionably late celebration of Lunar New Year is the upcoming Festival of Fortune Event. Start spreading good fortune on February 18th at 4:00PM (PST) and light up your roster with rewards, including Jubilee's new costume, during this limited-time event:

Alliance Donations & Festival of Fortune Orb

Donate to your Alliance in the Alliance Donations section to earn Festival of Fortune Orb Fragments. In addition to the Chests rewarding Festival of Fortune Orb Fragments, we’ve added new reward thresholds and refresh costs for Alliance Donations for this event. The Donation Milestones thresholds, refreshes, and chest rewards will revert back at the end of Festival of Fortune.

The Festival of Fortune Orb will contain Gold, T4 Ability Materials, and a chance to earn Gold Promotion Credits. Opening each of these orbs scores points towards the Festival of Fortune Milestone that rewards Teal, Orange, and Purple Gear, as well as Gold Flash Bits.

Jubilee's Costume

Festival of Fortune is your first opportunity to add Jubilee's "Year of the Tiger'' Costume to your Roster using Gold Flash Bits. Keep in mind that unused Bits will be converted to Costume Credits on March 2nd at 4:00PM (PST) at a conversation rate of 60%, so keep your eyes on the calendar if you're looking to outfit Jubilee with a slick new look.

Stark Armory Stockpile

Running parallel to the Festival of Fortune Event will be the Stark Armory Stockpile Event. The higher-tier Alliance Donation Milestone rewards (achievable with Power Cores) have been updated with Stark Stockpile Orb Fragments. These orbs contain Gold, T4 Ability Materials, and a chance to earn Gold Promotion Credits. Each Stark Stockpile Orb opened earns points toward the Stark Armory Stockpile milestone that rewards Teal Gear. So, if you're looking to stock up on even more Teal gear resources, coordinate with your Alliance to hit these later Donation Milestones and earn bonus Ranked Rewards (Teal Gear) through an associated Leaderboard.

Eternals in RTA

Ikaris and Sersi have certainly made an impact in many game modes. Specifically in Real-Time Arena, this pair of Eternals has had a profound impact on team compositions and player feedback has supported this. To encourage more variety in team compositions, included in many of the ban lists for the foreseeable future will be either Ikaris or Sersi. As they both have plenty to offer teams on their own, we're interested to see how they impact team compositions individually. As always, we'll continue to monitor these changes to ensure that they are having the desired effect.

Chaos Theory February

In further tribute of Black History Month, we'll be running the Chaos Theory Flash Event every Saturday during the month of February. Last weekend was the first run in the series, and the next three will be February 12th at 4:00PM (PST), February 19th at 4:00PM (PST) and then on February 26th at 4:00PM (PST), respectively. Don't miss out on stocking up on Gold and Silver Promotion Credits this month, courtesy of your Wakandans.

Character Availability

Scarlet Spider may already be wearing plenty of red on his costume, but you can never have too much of this bold color at your disposal. Starting on February 16th at 4:00PM (PST), head to the Elite Store to outfit this Web-Warrior with Red Stars, as Direct Red Star promotions using Promotion Credits will be available.

You missed a Saturday for Chaos Theory, Feb 19th. We should get 4 this month if it is every Saturday in Feb, not 3.

Yes, yes we did - I'll update that

For the love of something holy, can you please stop calling it character availability when you put someone in the Elite Store?

What would you name the category?

Cerebro, can we please get some additional focus on crashes and freezes? I'm on the latest patch on iOS *and* on my Bluestacks environment, and over the last week and a half have lost north of 100 Raid energy due to crashes, and have lost probably 3-5 Arena energy for freezes, including two very frustrating ones today. This game has the stability of tissue paper in a hurricane, and it's very frustrating for people who *want* to play it.

Yes, there are numerous reasons behind the need to improve the stability of the game right now and the team is dedicating resources toward addressing them. I don't have any details to share but it is of significant internal concern.

So the dreaded nerf to the Eternals so many were worried about is them getting banned from RTA at an increased rate? Oh, this just made my day.

Correct. It was more of an update to RTA than to the Eternals.

I agree, that would have been ideal timing.

Just call it Elite Store Availability. Simple.

Thanks for the recommendation.
