changedEvent Quest - A Walk In The ParkStrange influences have turned Central Park into a dense vibranium and ISO-laced forest. The Summoner will need to seek out the scientific mind of BLUE MARVEL and the protection of M’BAKU to keep this park in place. Will friends and foes band together? Or will there be deforestation and destruction?
addedSide Quest - Lunar New Year Squad BuilderExperience a fresh take on the Squad Builder mode, where Champion Factions determine the score! Participating Champions are assigned to 1 of 5 Wuxing element Factions of varying sizes. The smaller the Faction, the more points their Squad groupings are worth. As with the previous run of Squad Builder, there will be a weekly Solo Event which will contain Side Quest rewards, as well as points based on rank for the new Alliance Event. Alliances that are competitive throughout the event will have the chance to play for a 7-Star Heimdall. This time around we are also introducing an Alliance gifting component to the event, where Bronco Tokens can be gifted to Alliance members to gain entry to the energized event entry, where points scored will be tripled. Bronco Tokens will be earned via Weekly Clash Event milestones, with additional tokens being purchasable from the store.
addedAlliance Quest - Meta WeeksWe are introducing a new format for Alliance Quests - Meta Weeks! Meta Weeks are a brand-new, optional event type that will be part of our four-week Alliance Quest (AQ) cycle. Meta Weeks are a sort of blend of regular Alliance Quests and Raid Weeks, in that the format is similar to a standard quest, but like Raids, they will run over the course of a full week. Our first variation of the Meta Week format is The Rampant Evolution Variant. This event is all about celebrating and rewarding those champions who get stronger over time, like Aegon and Guillotine 2099, by making challenging encounters more trivial as you progress!

NEW CHAMPIONS

MARVEL CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS CELEBRATES BLACK HISTORY MONTH WITH EPIC NEW ARRIVALS:

M’Baku

The charismatic and formidable leader of the Jabari Tribe, is one of Wakanda’s most powerful warriors and a frequent rival of T’Challa. He is a traditionalist, a worshipper of the White Gorilla, Ghekre, living with his tribe in the isolated mountains away from the rest of Wakanda due to ideological differences. He and his tribe reject the technological progress embraced by T’Challa’s leadership. Though often seen challenging T’Challa’s rule, ultimately his motivations stem from a deep belief in maintaining Wakanda’s ancient traditions.

Blue Marvel

Adam Brashear had always been a prodigy—a college football star with multiple Ph.D.s who earned two Silver Stars serving as a Marine in the Korean War. While leading Project: Perseus, an attempt to harness the power of antimatter, Adam and his fellow Marine Conner Sims were caught in a reactor explosion. Conner was vaporized, but the reaction stabilized within Adam’s body, granting him the amazing powers of the Blue Marvel. When his identity as a Black man was revealed in a titanic battle alongside the Avengers, Adam was asked by the President to retire, as the country was not ready for the most powerful man in America to be openly and unapologetically Black. For decades, he obliged, but after losing much of his family in another accident, he has since returned to stand against the ever present threats of the modern world.
