Greetings Commanders,

Helicarrier-sized updates are heading to the Alliance War battlefield with our upcoming version 5.7 Release that are aimed to give you more freedom when you want to engage with the game mode, add a new angle to strategy, and improve gameplay. Here's your official Alliance War Update briefing:

War Energy

The first update you'll notice is that you now start with 4 War Energy (increased from 2) and we've increased the War Energy cap from 5 to 10. A maximum of 14 attacks (10 free, 4 refreshed) per player can be done in each War. You should now have more freedom to attack when your schedule permits and the increased cap will make sure you're not missing out on any Energy.

Iso-8 & "War Ready" Trait

Characters equipped with higher levels of Iso-8 will now enjoy a new advantage in battle, in addition to what their Iso-8 Class provides. Arriving with the 5.7 Release is the new "War Ready" trait. ...

The next phase of gear progression is on the way in the form of Teal (Augmented) gear. Teal gear arrives with our upcoming version 5.7 Release, which is currently slated for September 29th (PDT) and characters equipped with Teal gear will enjoy a major stat boost in battle. Our previous gear releases would imply that Gear Tier 16 should be another level of Orange gear, but we have something else in mind. As we mentioned in our 2021 Preview Blog, we're going straight to Teal (Augmented) gear in order to reduce the overall cost of Orange gear and generally make it more accessible.

Acquiring Teal Gear

At launch, you'll be able to earn Teal gear from the Doom II Raid (primary source), the Supplies Store, the War Store, as well as from event milestones and various offers. Doom II will reward Teal Gear Raid Orbs via the Raid Completion Rewards. This orb rewards all Teal gear types, excluding mini-uniques, so you'll want to start coordina...

Next week.

No, if you have the requirements you can jump right into Doom II Raid.

Teal Gear is self-contained, so it won't use any of the same pieces needed for Orange Gear.

Greetings Commanders,

Prepare for tech upgrades, as this week we're meeting a razor-sharp personality who is sure to get your roster running like a well-oiled machine. And after getting straight to the point, we'll be discussing the next Raid challenge, courtesy of Doctor Doom, as well as announcing the next permanent Legendary Event, shining light on Blitzes, and unearthing a golden opportunity for your mercs.

LADY DEATHSTRIKE

Yuriko Oyama is the daughter of the Japanese scientist and crime lord, Kenji Oyama, who developed the process by which Adamantium could be bonded to a human skeleton. Following her father's death, Yuriko sought to restore honor to her father by tracking down and punishing those who stole her father's scientific discovery, including anyone outfitted with an Adamantium skeleton. This desire led Yuriko to confront Wolverine. After being defeated by Wolverine, Yuriko had her body outfitted with extensive cybernetic enhancements, includi...

Today at 5pm PDT the Within The Shadows Blitz had some incorrect rewards. First, the Milestone rewards should have contained a total of 10,000 Luminous Credits but only 8,400 were available. In the near future we will be sending all players the missing amount.

Second, the Victory Rewards were incorrectly giving out Elementary Particles for ~40 minutes. We are currently investigating this issue and it’s likely that we’ll be sending out some compensation.

We apologize for the confusion and appreciate your patience while we work to address these issues.

Recently there was an issue where some players unintentionally got Luminous Credits due to an error with the Strike Pass. To make things equitable, in the near future we will send out 4,000 Luminous Credits to all players that did not already receive them due to the error. This is expected to happen soon after the release of version 5.7 next week.

Separately, there was an issue with the Red Star Rampage Blitz where two of the ranking tiers (21% - 40%, 41% - 60%) were not granting enough Red Star Orb Fragments. We have identified those affected players and will be sending them the amount missing that they should have initially received.

Third, today at 5pm PDT the Red Star Orb advertised a x10 drop rate on Dark Promotion Credits but it wasn’t actually active for ~20 minutes. We are investigating the issue and will send compensation to affected players at a later date.

We appreciate your patience while we work to address these issues.

There's currently an issue with the Red Star Rampage Blitz Ranking rewards where certain tiers are not giving the proper amount of credits. The team is currently investigating the issue and compensation will be sent in the near future to players negatively affected by this bug.

Greetings Commanders,

There are plenty of Super-Soldiers on S.T.R.I.K.E.'s roster, but today, you'll be meeting the omega to rule them all. And your red letter day doesn't end there, as we've got an event on the way to restock your Iso-8 shelves, Blitzes combining light with darkness, a rookie Legend making a return, and events to help you prepare for the battles ahead. 

OMEGA RED

Arkady Gregorivich Rossovich is a Russian mutant born with deadly mutant powers and an insatiable bloodlust. Arkady's mutant healing factor prevents him from dying, a detail that caught the attention of those running the Russian Super-Soldier program. Arkady was forcibly experimented on and given cybernetic enhancements, along with carbonadium tentacles within each of his arms. Thus, "Omega Red" was created. Omega Red's mutant powers endow him with superhuman strength, reflexes, and a healing factor. Omega Red has joined Wolverine on several missions as a part of a secret group o...

When the new Strike Pass started this week, there were a few players who got some currency to purchase character shards for Dagger. The dev team is still investigating the extent of this bug and we should have more information early next week. We will post another update as news develops on the topic. We appreciate your patience in the interim.

Yes, we are looking into this today.

Thanks for the detailed feedback - I will discuss this with the team.

Those that read last Friday's blog post have likely realized that the STRIKE Pass is slightly different than described. We apologize for this miscommunication on our part and this is actually what the next two Strike Passes will look like:

Pass 1

• Tier 5: (Free) 5 Cloak Shards (Premium) 5 Cloak Shards
• Tier 15: (Free) 5 Cloak Shards (Premium) 5 Cloak Shards
• Tier 25: (Free) 10 Cloak Shards (Premium) 10 Cloak Shards
• Tier 35 (Free) 4000 Luminous Credits (Premium) 4000 Luminous Credits
• Tier 45 (Free) 4000 Luminous Credits (Premium) 4000 Luminous Credits
• Tier 55 (Free) 4000 Luminous Credits (Premium) 4000 Luminous Credits

Pass 2

• Tier 5: (Free) 5 Dagger Shards (Premium) 5 Dagger Shards
• Tier 15: (Free) 5 Dagger Shards (Premium) 5 Dagger Shards
• Tier 25: (Free) 10 Dagger Shards (Premium) 10 Dagger Shards
• Tier 35 (Free) 4000 Luminous C...

Today at 5:30pm PDT there was an Inbox message that unintentionally was sent a half hour early, stating that the new Strike Pass had begun. We understand that this message likely caused many players to claim their Daily Objectives to earn credit toward the new pass. Tomorrow we will send out compensation for a full day’s worth of credits (310 Tokens) toward the Strike Pass. We apologize for causing this confusion.

Hi all, today's blog post wasn't detailed enough as to how to unlock Cloak & Dagger, so we want to provide that now.

The next STRIKE Pass will have the opportunity to earn 50 character shards for either Cloak or Dagger along the free path and an additional 50 character shards along the Premium path. After this, there will be a second STRIKE Pass that will be similarly structured where you can earn 50 shards on the free path and 50 on the Premium path. So, in order to unlock both Cloak & Dagger through the STRIKE Pass alone, you’ll need to get the Premium pass in both.

There will be additional opportunities to earn their character shards through upcoming Blitzes, with the first being on 9/23 at 5:00pm PDT.

Greetings Commanders,

The streets will soon run red with the tendrils of Carnage's new costume and today we have the details on an event to get these alien threads onto Carnage's back. But the Klyntar living abyss isn't where this blog ends because we're also revealing how to recruit Cloak and Dagger, our next repeating Legendary Event, upcoming Blitzes, and another packed schedule of Bonus and Flash Events. Sharpen your teeth and feast your eyes on Absolute Carnage...

The Bleeding King

As if Carnage wasn't terrifying enough, this lethal Symbiote has a new costume on the way soon: the "Absolute Carnage" costume. If you want to outfit Carnage with a new look that'll give your enemies nightmares, then you don't want to miss the upcoming The Bleeding King Event. On September 12th at 5:00PM (PDT), bond with Carnage's new costume and other rewards with this limited-time event:

The Bleeding King Milestone

Tear enemie...

There was an issue with Real-Time Arena at 5:00pm PDT today where the "Battle" button was not displayed. This issue has been resolved and some players may need to restart the game in order to see the button.

Players have likely noticed that the preview for the Block Party event is showing First Time Rewards to include the old Ability Orbs, which are no longer available. These rewards will be updated to feature/include the new Ability Orbs by the time that the event goes live tomorrow, 9/10 at 5:00pm PDT.

Has anyone else noticed that Shang Chi in MSF is missing something? Ten something’s to be exact..

Yeah, we really wanted to include the lords-a-leaping but it's a bit early for Christmas.
