Greetings Commanders,
This week's blog is for your eyes only, as we've got the confidential lowdown on two members of an upcoming team that works in the shadows. But if you're not a fan of secrets, then keep reading for a repeating Legendary Event that's sure to be aces, a solid gold Blitz, and handy events to improve your roster. First up, look to the sky for the newest patriotic Protector...
CAPTAIN AMERICA (SAM)
Sam Wilson served in the Air Force's 58th Rescue Squadron, piloting the one-man EXO-7 Falcon flight suit. After finishing his tour of duty, Wilson moved to Washington, D.C., where he dedicated himself to helping his fellow veterans readjust to life after war. After meeting Steve Rogers -- Captain America -- on a morning run, the two became fast friends and subsequently Rogers called on his compatriot for aid. Donning his combat flight suit, Sam Wilson became the Falcon and eventually an Avenger. Falcon joined the front-line assault that engaged Thanos and defeated his Black Order army. Later on, when Steve Rogers reverted to his natural age, he entrusted his shield and the Captain America title to his longtime friend and partner. Sam Wilson accepted and became Captain America.
Captain America (Sam) joins the newly formed Secret Avenger team as a Protector with high Health and Resistance, which is further enhanced with his kit's increased Block Chance. He's quite resilient, as he has easy access to Deflect through his Basic and Special abilities. Captain America (Sam) also fortifies his team with positive effects, Ability Energy, and Speed Bar. As for his team, Captain America (Sam) is part of the Secret Avengers and Avengers, however, we've hidden the "Avenger" trait on the character screen to help make the trait list easier to read. Secret Avengers will still appear when you filter by the "Avenger" trait. You can slot Captain America (Sam) into most teams that need a powerful Protector, as his Special and Ultimate abilities can benefit most allies. Captain America (Sam) has many callouts to Skill characters, so they'll get the most benefit and gain additional Max Health in Raids.

SHARON CARTER
Sharon Carter is the great-niece of Peggy Carter, a heroic freedom fighter from World War II who joined forces with the French resistance and Captain America. Inspired by her great-aunt Peggy's adventures, Sharon joined S.H.I.E.L.D. as an agent, though she hid her relation to her great-aunt. She was trained as a deadly spy and became a highly trained martial artist, an expert marksman, and adept at espionage and computer hacking. After rebelliously assisting Captain America during the Avengers' Civil War, Sharon Carter was branded an enemy of the state by the U.S. government and isolated from the intelligence community.
Sharon Carter joins the new Secret Avengers team as a Controller with high Damage and high Focus. She does tremendous damage in Raids and in those game modes she increases all of the Damage of Secret Avenger allies, so you can't go wrong bringing her into Skill Raid nodes. And if you're looking for an added bonus, Sharon Carter's Special ability synergizes nicely with Kestrel's Passive ability, as it applies Defense Down to up to three enemies.
One of your first chances to recruit Sharon Carter will be in her upcoming Event Campaign, "Conspiracy Theories." We'll have more information in the coming weeks, so be on the lookout.
