Witch's Coven

Magic has been in the air recently and the spellbinding events continue on April 21st at 5:00PM (PDT) with the upcoming Witch's Coven Event. Go on a Darkhold witch hunt and recruit the powerful Agatha Harkness during this limited-time event that also features tons of rewards. Here's how the spell works:

Occult Hex Orb

Create your portal to the realm of rewards by earning Occult Hex Orb Fragments from the Arcane Witchery Milestone and by battling in Blitz. Open these orbs to then earn Agatha Harkness character shards, Gold, and Catalyst Parts.

Witch's Coven Milestone

Summon points toward the Witch's Coven Milestone by opening Occult Hex Orbs. This main event milestone lasts 10 days and rewards Agatha Harkness character shards, Silver and Gold Promotion Credits, Gold Orb Fragments, as well as Teal, Orange, and Purple gear.

Arcane Witchery Milestone

The dev team is continuing to monitor the Pestilence Scourge Event Leaderboard, to investigate and take swift action against any accounts that attempt to leverage ill-gotten points. We will ensure that any account acting in bad faith will be removed and not adversely affect the final Rank Rewards.

We're investigating any odd ducks as we speak.

Thanks for reporting, we'll investigate it today.

Yes, we will be closely monitoring the Leaderboards.

As we continue with internal testing of the first Scourge Event, we want to ensure that the rewards properly reflect the degree of the challenge. Today we will be updating the Rank Rewards to include more character shards of Morgan Le Fay, and more gear pieces for Milestone Rewards than what is displayed in the Event Preview that went live on Sunday, April 10th (PDT). There will be some refactoring of the Rank thresholds but all Ranks will get more character shards for this first run. Updating these rewards will require the removal of the Event Preview for approximately 5-10 minutes but will be promptly reactivated.

Thanks, I'll forward this for investigation.

The starting date and time of Avengers Tower is April 9th at 5:00PM (PDT). The date published in the last blog was incorrect and we apologize for the confusion.

Today we released version 6.0.1 as an optional update but it will become a forced update in the near future. This version contains the following bug fixes:

• Mystique should no longer occasionally cause a soft lock when using her Ultimate ability
• If a character is killed by the Basic attack of Doctor Strange (Heartless) and subsequently revives, it should no longer appear invisible
• Some players were getting stuck at 98% loading - this should now be fixed
• Some iOS devices were not displaying push notifications - this should now be corrected

Do you remember exactly what happened before the game became unresponsive, please?

There were two separate issues that occurred today. First, the Big Boom Blitz was temporarily not granting Cauldrons as part of the rewards but this has now been fixed.

Second, the Hard difficulty of the Forbidden Knowledge Event temporarily had incorrect costs of 8 and 16 energy instead of the intended 10 and 20 energy and has now been corrected. As this was a lower cost for the energy than Heroic difficulty but still for the same amount of rewards, this created a slight advantage for players only playing on Hard difficulty.

For both issues, compensation is being discussed and will be delivered in the near future. We apologize for the confusion this may have caused.

Greetings Commanders,

Orange Gear Updates

To increase access to Orange Gear and help your gear tier progress, we'll be making several updates to the availability of Mini-Unique pieces and some of the Orange Gear Orbs. Here's what's heading your way soon:

Mini-Unique Availability

High demand Gear Tier 14 and 15 Mini-Uniques (those where players need 15 or 18 copies per completed gear piece) will now be available in two Campaign nodes each instead of one and those nodes will only cost 10 Campaign Energy each. Mini-Uniques, where players need only 6 copies per completed gear piece, will be moved to nodes that cost 20 Campaign Energy.

Ultra Store Orange Orbs

All of the Orange Orbs in the Ultra Store will be updated so that there are now 4x more Mini-Unique rewards and 2x gear quantities. Additionally, we'll be reducing the drop rate of Armor Catalyst Parts in favor of increasing the drop rate of all oth...

There have been reports that some players are currently not able to load into the game. The dev team is currently investigating these reports and we will keep you updated on the situation.

UPDATE: The loading issue has been fixed, and restarting the game app should allow all players to load into the game. We appreciate your patience while we worked to address this.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll be certain to share this with the team.

The fourth anniversary of MARVEL Strike Force is here and this year we're going to party like it's 1699 with the Celebration Incantation Event.

Madelyne Pryor

Ever since Sabretooth took his adamantium talents to the Weapon X team, Mister Sinister experienced a Mutant gene gap amongst his Marauders. We'll soon be filling that gap with Sinister's favorite solution to problems: a clone. Marauder fans rejoice and welcome the newest member to the team. Everyone else, prepare for a rejuvenated battlefield threat…

Obsessed with harnessing the power of a potential offspring between Cyclops and Phoenix, the master geneticist Mister Sinister pursued this goal by secretly obtaining a genetic sample of Phoenix and producing a clone. Sinister gave the clone the name Madelyne Pryor (Pryor as a pun due to the clone's prior existence), filled her head with false memories, and manipulated Cyclops into marrying her. Madelyne and Cyclops eventually had a son – Nathan Summers (a.k.a. Cable) – but when Phoenix was resurrected from the dead, Cyclops left Madelyne and the baby to be with his once lost love. Jealou...

When it crashed at 99%, was this after a battle and it crashed before going back to the Carrier screen?

Thanks for the update. Which device are you playing on, please?

Thanks for reporting, we are currently investigating.

In battle, go to the Options menu and toggle Dynamic Camera
