As announced on March 13th, the dev team is in the process of implementing updates to Apocalypse’s abilities. We are working quickly and aim to have these improvements live in the game by end-of-day Friday, March 17th. Below is the current list of updates, but there could be additional changes before going live. We’ll continue to keep you updated on any related news.

Apocalypse:

With the release of Apocalypse on March 10th, the dev team has been closely monitoring the character’s performance in multiple game modes and reading player feedback. The team is currently discussing improvements to the Apocalypse kit to ensure he meets expectations for such an important character. This is our highest priority, and the team is moving quickly to test several improvements, followed by time needed for balancing, feedback, and translations. We will keep you updated promptly this week as those improvements become solid and as to when you will see them live in the game.

We greatly appreciate your feedback and patience while we work quickly to address this.

The dev team has been working quickly to prepare for the next season of Cosmic Crucible. We’re happy to announce that Season 2 will be starting ahead of schedule this Friday, January 20th at 1:00PM (PST), with the actual rounds beginning Monday, January 23rd (PST). The rewards for Season 1 will start to be delivered shortly after it ends, but it can take up to 24 hours for players to receive them.

With Season 2, there will be some updated rewards that will be implemented after the season begins. The number of Silver Promotion Credits earned from knockouts will be increasing based on your current League. However, the increased rewards will require a new game client, so the changes won’t go into effect until Version 6.7 is released, currently scheduled for early February.

Here are the Season 2 room rules:

Global Rules - Magical Disruptions

• On Offense, reduce Speed and Resistance by 10% for all non-MASTERS OF EVIL VILLAIN MYSTICS.
• On Defe...

Today, in the S.T.R.I.K.E. Pass III, there are 4000 character shards for Spider-Weaver available in the free path at slot four. This was obviously not intended, as that number of shards far exceeds the number required to get a character to seven Yellow Stars.

The dev team has thoroughly discussed the topic and explored several potential solutions. Upon review, the team has decided to allow the Spider-Weaver character shards to remain in the S.T.R.I.K.E. Pass III. Any player that has claimed the character shards or will claim them here can keep them. We want to be clear that this issue was unintended and thus should not set any future expectations of what rewards the S.T.R.I.K.E. Pass will contain.

Albeit under uncommon circumstances, we are pleased that many players will be able to unlock and enjoy our third original character. Thank you for your patience as we discussed the topic, and we look forward to a fantastic year of gaming with you in 2023 and beyond.

Super Patriot

📷

Hit the ground running in 2023 with the next month-long milestone event: Super Patriot! The first month-long event of the new year will consist of:

• 4 Main Milestone Events
• 4 Quick Rumble Milestones
• 2 Alliance Milestones

Make progress in these 10 events to earn points toward Super Patriot, which is your chance to recruit U.S. Agent and earn his fully crafted Gear Tier 16 gear. Make sure you check the web for the Daily Web Milestone, which'll also reward event progress. You can prepare now by linking your game to your Scopely Account in the "Options" menu.

One change going forward will be when players Claim Meta Currency from the Web, the currency will no longer show in the player’s in-box. Instead the progress from claiming the currency will be automatic. This will be the case with Justice Medals for this Month’s Meta event and for the future Meta events going forward.

Starting Tuesday, December 13th at 10:00AM (PST), MSF.gg will undergo maintenance and be inaccessible for approximately 15 minutes. As with any maintenance, this timing is an approximation and could last longer due to technical issues - we’ll keep you updated if this occurs. We appreciate your patience and will work quickly to minimize downtime.

Starting on Tuesday, December 13th (PST), the Doom Raid Difficulty 3.5 requirement will be lowered from Iso-8 Blue Lv4 to Lv3. This is being updated as Difficulty 3.5 was released nearly 5 months ago, and it was intended that more Alliances would be attempting this Difficulty by this time.

Start strategizing with your Alliance to take on this rewarding challenge!

A known issue will occur with the release of Version 6.6. Only for the languages of Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), and Thai, in-game text describing the synergy for characters will appear to be incomplete and missing text. Correcting this issue will require a new client and thus likely won’t be fixed until the following release of Version 6.7 early next year. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience in the interim.

Starting Tuesday, 12/6, several rewards in the web Free Claim will be moved to the daily web milestone. These daily rewards can be claimed simply by spending 50 Power Cores for that day. Going forward, the Free Claim will reward points toward the meta event running at the time.

On Tuesday, 12/6, the option to purchase Red Stars for Ultron will be temporarily removed from the Elite Store for several weeks. This is because, in the near future, there will be an event in which players can earn Red Stars for Ultron. The dev team wants to mitigate any potential disappointment with an Ultron Red Stars purchase now when shortly afterward, they can be earned. Red Stars for Ultron will return to the Elite Store after the event that rewards them has concluded.

There are three different issues to address. First, for a limited number of players, the daily login calendar for November ended before the final day rewards could be collected. We have identified players that logged in for 29 days and missed claiming the Day 30 reward and will be sending them the missing 250 Power Cores by end-of-day tomorrow, Saturday, 12/03, Pacific Time.

Second, the Blitz schedule for next week only has been slightly modified:

• The Blitz for Scarlet Spider and Red Guardian each have their run times reduced by one day (24 hours).
• The Red Star Blitz and Orb Blitz will not run simultaneously but instead one after the other.

This change is necessary for this week only to add event prizing (related to Dark Beast) to some of the Blitz rewards.

Third, regarding The First Panther milestone event, there will be 10,000 Vibranium Meteorites available in the web Free Claim on Saturday, 12/03, Pacific Time, so don’t miss ...

There is currently an issue where an error occurs when attempting to purchase the Premium Battle Pass. The dev team is actively investigating the problem, and we'll keep you updated.

EDIT: The issue with the Premium Battle Pass has been corrected.

The current season of Cosmic Crucible will be extended and is now targeting its conclusion in February. We’re currently working on increasing rewards related to the game mode, including adding some valuable character shards to the Cosmic Crucible Store. These changes will go live shortly after the release of Version 6.6, currently targeting release next week. The team wants to see the effects of these new rewards before starting a new season.

Make sure you’re getting all your available battles in to earn credits and get the improved rewards!

Archangel and Nemesis

Today, we're staring Death in the eyes, as we'll be taking a closer look at Archangel, Apocalypse's Death Horseman, and his new ally-in-arms Nemesis. Archangel will be leading the Death Seed team, who will reign over Raid lanes, and the full team will consist of Dark Beast, Magneto, Psylocke, and Nemesis. Let's dive into the two newest Death Seed characters, starting with the Horseman of Death…

Archangel

Warren Worthington was a teenager when his mutant ability emerged in the form of a pair of large feathered wings, enhanced strength, and a healing factor. He became the hero "Angel," and fought with the X-Men and then X-Force, before a failed mission cost him his wings. The mutant tyrant Apocalypse captured Angel and offered to restore his wings in return for his service, to which Angel agreed. Apocalypse corrupted Angel's mind, augmented his body with a pair of bio-metallic wings, renamed his new acquisition "Archangel," and anoint...

A minor change was made to the blog published last Friday, 11/18 (text has a strikethrough), which is that Cyber Turkey currency will not be included in the Free Claim Offers. That currency will instead be made available through the associated Login Calendar. Have fun in the Cyber Turkey Hunt!

Today, 11/22, the Bang For Your Buck milestone will have some updated gear rewards. The currency for the Armory 14 & 15 Orbs will be removed, and in its place will be the currency for Orange Gear Raid Orbs and Orange Elite Orbs, respectively. The swap should provide players with some in-demand gear and updated incentives to complete the milestone. Happy Bang For Your Bucking!

Hard Mode Chapters 1 & 2 of the Villains Campaign are now live! With it comes a few bug fixes you may have encountered in the Heroes Campaign but they should no longer be an issue:

• Some missions contained unnecessary story elements such as Operators
• Some enemies spawned with debuffs or other unintended effects
• The node awarding Wong character shards had an incorrect number of attempts per day

There are a few additional issues that we are tracking and intend to address soon and we’ll keep you updated on:

• A visual highlight incorrectly appears on Wong’s portrait above Heroes Hard Mode 1-3.
• A Level 1 Hydra Soldier Minion is incorrectly listed in the Enemies list for Heroes Hard Mode 1-7
• The Text “Stages Complete 0/4” appears at the top of the screen in Heroes Hard 1-9. This does not affect mission functionality
• The Text “Stages Complete 0/3” appears at the top of the screen in Heroes Hard 2-6. This...

All zones are canceled for the first War.
