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

In Advanced Options, the toggle for Download all Assets on Wi-Fi has been reactivated. If you encounter any issues regarding this feature, please comment here and send in a support ticket for investigation.

We are still investigating this issue.

It will be back in the future but we are being cautious to ensure that it isn't contributing to the Android issues.

We're working on it now, hopefully very soon!

The team is discussing potential compensation for this issue.

Today at 12:00pm PDT (Pacific Time) the game will require all players to update to version 5.7.1. It is possible that this could interrupt combat, so we recommend that you do not attempt to start a battle around this time until you are prompted to download the update.

This will address the following issues:

• Fix for Phoenix not summoning Dark Phoenix upon death
• Fix for Deathpool occasionally dealing low damage with her ultimate ability (fully charged)
• Updated art for Silver Samurai’s character model

Android Crash bug

Some players were encountering a crash when attempting to load the game, specifically while on mobile service data (not Wi-Fi). We believe this is related to an upgrade with the Android API from version 29 to 30. We have reverted this upgrade and it should address the loading issues but we will be monitoring closely to ensure that it has the desired effect.

Alliance War Anoma...

An update was made to how many Raid Season points are awarded for 30% completion of Doom II, at Difficulty 1 or higher. It now properly accounts for three Strike Teams instead of just one (as it was previously).

Thanks for confirming.

Uniques should appear in stacks of 2-4, so if you're seeing more than that in a stack it's not intentional. We will investigate this.

Thanks for reporting. Would you please provide a few more details including your device model and if there are specific game modes where you're encountering the issue?

Thanks for reporting - the team is currently investigating

Thanks for reporting - I will look into this.

Mercenary Sniper will be leaving.

Mercenary Sniper.

That's what we initially suspected as well, but in seeing what's happened since disabling the feature it's becoming more likely that the two things are unrelated. We have a hotfix planned for next week that should hopefully address the problem.

Any characters in particular?

I heard that most folks call him, "Orange Joe"
