Greetings Commanders,

Today,, we're giving you a peek inside an ominous laboratory that houses enticing rewards and a deadly new S.T.R.I.K.E. operative. And after a view of the dark side of science, we've got the new location of a high-flying Secret Avenger, a Legendary Event screaming back for a return, multiple Blitzes, and Bonus Events that'll be a catalyst for victory.

Lab X-Periments

Coming alive on October 22nd at 5:00PM (PDT) is the year's most terrifying event: Lab X-Periments! Available in this workshop of horrors are Lady Deathstrike character shards and other wicked rewards. Here's how you can engineer success with this limited-time event:

Test Subjects Milestone

Scoring: Unleash characters with the limited-time "Pierced Veil" trait (31 available characters) in Blitz or battle in Arena and Raids with any character to earn points toward the Test Subjects Milestone.

• Duration - 24 hours each Milestone...

There is currently an issue where multiple event preview cards were created and Mojo's Mayhem is not accessible. The game team is currently investigating and working quickly to address it.

EDIT: The issue with Mojo's Mayhem not being accessible has been fixed but you might need to restart your client before you can see it again. The extra event preview cards and related inbox messages have also been removed. The team will be discussing potential compensation for this inconvenience. Thank you for your patience while we worked to address this.

The final Experiment X Milestone was intended to end today, however another instance of the Milestone was unintentionally started. As players have already started making progress in the extra Milestone, we will continue to let it run for the full length of the timer. Enjoy the bonus rewards!

Today at 5:00pm PDT all Red Star Orbs were unintentionally displaying orange / gold rarity indicators (only used for 6 and 7 red star promotions) for all red star promotions of Silver Samurai. This was a visual-only bug and did not affect drop rates in any way. The issue has now been corrected and we apologize for the confusion this caused. EDIT: You may need to restart your client to see the update.

Not yet, but we are targeting to have more information to share in next week's blog.

Greetings Commanders,

Rumor has it that the legendary Black Blade has been sighted on Nexus Earth, and this week we've got the details on a warrior to help dull its villainous wielders. Also slicing your way is the next season of S.T.R.I.K.E. Pass, a magnetic repeating Legendary Event, wild Blitzes, and precious Bonus Events. Now, unsheathe your excitement for the arrival of a Weapon X warrior...

SILVER SAMURAI

Keniuchio Harada is the mutant son of a former Japanese crime lord and grew up learning the disciplines of the medieval samurai. His mutant ability allows him to generate a tachyon energy field from within his body. He can focus this energy through any object, but he typically chooses to focus the energy through his preferred weapon: the katana. Operating under the name of "Silver Samurai," Harada has worked for various criminals around the world, as a hero for the Japanese government, and alongside Wolverine on multiple occasions.

Silver Sa...

Today there will be two updates to the ability text of two Weapon X characters:

Omega Red
His basic ability, Carbonadium Lash, will now state that the healing cap is 25% to match the function.

Silver Samurai
His special ability, Executioner Slice, said that it would flip Counter on only the primary target. The ability text is being updated to reflect the actual function of flipping Counter on the primary and adjacent targets.

A quick developer’s note: when these characters are tested internally, they are put to the test with the how they function and thus is why the ability text is changed and not the other way around.

Thanks for reporting - I will forward this information
