NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS

Event Quest - Change The Record
Since their own "Web of Fate" seems to be working out, Miles, Peter, and Gwen invite other Spider-People to join The Contest. SPIDER-PUNK eagerly agrees however, he does not travel to The Battlerealm alone. Another Hobie Brown, this one calling themselves PROWLER, is ripped into this universe along with him. Is The Contest ready for a double dose of Hobie? Or will this concert of Spiders turn into a multiversal mosh-pit? Find out in CHANGE THE RECORD.

Act 8 Chapter 4
With the defeat of Cerastes, Carina and company uncover the full breadth of Ouroboros's devious plot - inciting a Battlerealm-wide war! With this new information the heroes race back to Carina's Council in the hopes of stopping Ouroboros and Glykhan once and for all. But is there light at the end of this tunnel of terrors? Or is this a flame which will consume The Contest? Find out in Act 8 - Chapter 4: DARKEST DAWN.

Winter of Woe
The culmination of your pain and WOE will occur this month, where you will be tasked with dealing with all 4 of the previous fights plus 2 NEW FIGHTS in not one but two painful paths! Fret not though, as you will have the entire month to deal with this heroic task. Be warned however, that these encounters are not for the faint of heart, and will cause you to be overcome with WOE. To further increase the trials set before you, this month-long quest will feature not 2, not 3, but 4 Solo Objectives for you to try to overcome!
NEW CHAMPIONS

King Groot (Deathless)
In years past, Champions from the Death Realm staged an assault on The Battlerealm. Empowered by the Death Stone, Thanos created Nameless, empty versions of the heroes of the Battlerealm. Of these Nameless Champions, a select few were granted malicious will and elevated to become the Deathless, to lead his armies and sow chaos and destruction. King Groot was the second Deathless he created. Rising from the undergrowth of a barren alien forest, the Deathless master of ash conquers all!
NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

Mastery Loadout Pages
You can now save out multiple Mastery setups and easily swap between them! Set up to three different Mastery Loadouts, and switch between them whenever you would like for a flat 35 Unit cost.

Alliance War Defense Default
Select one of your Mastery Loadout Pages as your Alliance War Defense Default, and it will use that Mastery setup instead of your currently active one when placing your Alliance War Defenders. The Alliance War Defense Default selection has no cost. This will launch later in the month after the current Alliance War Season has ended.

Alliance War Updates
Updates to the Alliance War Persistent Placement Phase are coming! These improvements address friction points for Alliances that typically run less than three Battlegroups. Alliance leadership can now opt in or out of auto-clearing Defense placements for specified Battlegroups at the end of a War or remove individual placements from Battlegroups instead of relying on members to remove themselves. Alliance leadership is also now able to toggle between automatic or manual placement for Defense on Maps above/below your current difficulty.

Saga Champion Badging
To make Saga Champions easily identifiable, we are also introducing Saga Champion Badging! Each Champion in the Saga pool will have a Saga badge applied to their portrait throughout the Contest. These badges will follow the theme of the active Saga, making it easy to identify which champions benefit from the Saga.

NEW CHAMPIONS

The Destroyer
When the Celestials threatened humanity with judgment and possible execution, Odin and the other All-Fathers crafted a weapon to oppose the Celestials and protect their human worshippers. Infusing a mysterious metal with the power of every All-Father, Odin built the mighty enchanted construct known as The Destroyer. With strength and durability surpassing even the legendary metal Uru, The Destroyer is a terrifying weapon of mindless devastation.

The Serpent
In an age long past, when Earth was known as Aesheim, the eldest son of Bor Burison learned to draw terrible power from the fear of living beings. Aided by his brutal Worthy, Cul Borson gained such a stranglehold on the planet that to stop him, his brother Odin had to cleanse it of intelligent life. Prophecy declared that Odin could not kill his brother, and so the Serpent was sealed beneath the oceans as the millennia marched on. But now the God of Fear has returned, and the Nine Realms shall weep.

NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS
The Serpent And The Destroyer:
All the power and fury of some of the most fearsome foes from Asgard have come for the potential represented by the World Tree. Cul Borson, THE SERPENT, has brought powerful armor known as THE DESTROYER and he shall not stop in his pursuit of power. The Contest needs a hero, it needs saving, it needs someone nuts enough to step toe to Tippy-Toe with a god. Luckily for us, Squirrel Girl is on the case.
Make sure you’re feeling unbeatable before you face down THE SERPENT AND THE DESTROYER!
X-Magica:
New epic themes stretching across multiple months of adventures in The Contest are coming! The first of these Sagas is X-Magica and will span from March 6 to June 5. In this first Saga X-Magica, we witness rising threats looming over the Mutants and Mystics of The Battlerealm. Heroes must unite these two disparate groups as they face constant attacks from fearsome foes.
Alliance War Showcase:
A group of exceptional Alliance War Defenders, many of them carrying the Sugar Pill Tactic, have gathered in a new Quest and await your challenge! Experience the thrill of fighting powerful Defender placements from Master Tier Wars.
Featuring both Sugar Pill and Decay Tactics, Defender-Focused Masteries, and a 2-hour Quest time limit, the Alliance War Showcase will premiere later this month. Are you ready for your path?
Winter of Woe:
Winter has come, and soon a special set of challenges will be made available to those who have become Paragon or higher! Challenging content that consists of ONE 1v1 Quest will be released every 2 weeks. Be warned however, that these encounters are not for the faint of heart, and will cause you to be overcome with WOE. To further increase the trials set before you, each Quest will be accompanied by Solo Objectives for you to try to overcome!
Trader’s Outpost:
A new permanent shop is here, run by the Elder of the Universe: The Trader! Collect Mysterium in Side Quests and trade them in for valuable bundles. Save up your Mysterium as you adventure through the months to get some of these resources and rewards when you need them!

The Necropolis
The Grandmaster is looking for assistance in dealing with a peculiar problem. He claims that his brother, the Collector, has a collection of failed experimental Champions that are housed in a special area of The Battlerealm that he recently discovered and has named “The Necropolis”.
The Champions that inhabit this place were released from their Crystals improperly, and have been imbued with enhanced abilities and durability. The Grandmaster believes the Collector has been trying to hide the Necropolis to conceal his mistakes away from prying eyes, but now that all of this has been uncovered, the Grandmaster wants to clean it all up. The Grandmaster is opening the doors of the Necropolis to Paragon players on November 15th.
Alliance Quest Season 11
A new Season of Alliance Quest brings big changes to the mode. Updates to Rewards, Maps, and more! Keep an eye on the forums for the full breakdown.

CHAMPION UPDATES

Sandman:
Lowered the Heavy Proficiency max stacks cap from 10 to 8.
Increased the Heavy Proficiency Attack Ratio from 0.1 to 0.125.
Increased the Signature Ability Heavy Proficiency Bonus Ratio from 0.05 to 0.0625.
Changed all Unstable Physical Burst Damage from scaling with Base Attack only to scaling with Attack Rating.
Changed on-knockdown Debuff-based burst Physical Damage Attack Ratio from 0.05 to 0.04
Added a burst Physical Damage Debuff scaling cap of 20.

Sandman’s changes had 2 goals in mind:
Reduce the damage difference between Special 3 loop vs Special 1/Special 2 loop while still keeping their identities split between damage and utility.
Increase ramp pacing so that Sandman still scales over fights while accessing meaningful damage in his first and second Unstable states.

NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

Max Level Instant Upgrade
From the Champion Upgrade Screen, you can now use Units to take any Champion from their current level to the max level of their current rank.

Boost Tray

In the Settings Menu there is a new “Beta Features Opt-In” option. If enabled, you will get access to the beta version of the new fight summary screen, which provides more detailed information on why you won or lost a fight.

Skip Special 3 Button
In the Settings Menu there is a new “Show Skip Special 3 Button” option. If enabled, you will be able to skip the Special 3 animation after the 5* timing mini-game. However, this feature will be disabled in timed matches while we evaluate any balance issues that may arise from this change.

A call for help from NOVA has come in from the edge of the SYMBIOTE LANDS, the unforgiving Battlerealm region that the many Kylntar--or “Symbiotes”--call home. Nova picked up a distress signal from within the Symbiote Lands, one that supplied only foreboding words: “HE IS HERE.

Back Issues #7: Arachnid Action

Another Back Issues is on the shelves, this time featuring the classic Quest Arachnid Action!

As always this Quest will feature the Classic and Variant difficulties, giving both the opportunity for a trip down memory lane, or a substantial challenge for those who seek it.

Reflecting the lessons learned from Miles’ counterparts, new global effects in these Quests will limit the output of all except #Hero Champions, while also increasing Ability Accuracy for each #Hero on the Summoner’s active team. Less-heroic Champions may enter for synergies and other purposes, but don’t expect them to be dealing a lot of damage! Additionally, each Chapter will have class-based Champion Requirements, with Paths designed to both challenge and benefit the Champions required to enter.

NEW FEATURES:

Auto-Fight Improvement

Auto-Fight will now take over more of the heavy lifting and move you forward on the Quest Map in addition to handling the fight for you. Whenever you have to decide between two paths you will have to make your choice manually.

version 28.2.2

Oct 14, 2020 Version 28.2.2
NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS:

Recursion
Several time anomalies have been detected on the far reaches of The Battlerealm. As concerning as numerous temporal activities in one region is, it does not appear to affect the mysterious characters running amok in the nearby area.

Reports state that The Rider has been sighted in the region after tracking down a seemingly abandoned warehouse filled with countless Crystals. As great of a find as this is, caution is urged, as there is very likely a sinister reason why the Crystals were abandoned in the first place...

Hop in and get ready for a turbulent ride through The Contest as COSMIC GHOST RIDER and RED GOBLIN fight for, about & through time itself.

Hades Invasion
Hell is in an uproar and Mephisto needs the Summoner and Cosmic Ghost Rider to sort it out and bring order back to the underworld. However, the land of the dead is a dangerous place for the living, filled with hazards few Champions can contend with. Thankfully Mephisto has a side-gig selling spare Souls capable of shielding the Summoner and their allies from the harmful effects of the netherworld. Wouldn't you know it though, these special Soul Boosts come with some side-effects when used...just goes to show that you should always read the user manual before activating second-hand eldritch powers.

Act 6 Updates

If you had ever wanted a chance to take on these challenging opponents, your opportunity is now! Those who manage to overcome each year’s boss fights will receive a title per chapter, and those who vanquish every foe will walk away with a profile picture to display their prowess.

NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS:

Samurai’s Journey
Having just barely escaped from an odd holding cell, TIGRA and HIT-MONKEY must join forces to shake off their pursuers and find out who is behind them being locked up!

The Island of Doctor M.O.D.O.K.
Ever since M.O.D.O.K. established his Hotel, he's been working tirelessly on his experimental Champions. But the Hotel is no place for his creations to live, so he's been sending them off to a secret secluded island to run free (under careful supervision of course). Now the time has come for M.O.D.O.K. to harvest the fruits of his labors, and it's up to the Summoner to drop in and collect some samples for M.O.D.O.K. to study. Don't worry though, the Summoner will be handsomely rewarded for their efforts with Gold Coins redeemable only at the Hotel M.O.D.O.K. Store!

NEW FEATURES:

Buff Deleter
M.O.D.O.K. has unleashed a new tool to aid you in your Labs Quests. The new Buff Deleter item can be used much like Rerolls, but can remove a Buff of your choice instead of replacing them. Get your hands on these rare items while you can and take control of your encounters! These Deleters won’t be sticking around after the Events of this month end, so make use of them while you can!
Alliance Treasury Update
We are updating how Alliance members donate resources to Alliance Quest Maps. Instead of donating to the Alliance Treasury, Summoners will now be able to purchase Alliance Tickets with resources or by visiting the Unit Store.

A mysterious mastermind has hired Taskmaster, the photoreflexive mercenary, to stop Black Widow from finding this weapon at all costs.

It’s a race across The Battlerealm, with new foes to fight and old allegiances to test in BLACK WIDOW: RED BY DAWN.

NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS:

Samurai’s Journey
Having just barely escaped from an odd holding cell, TIGRA and HIT-MONKEY must join forces to shake off their pursuers and find out who is behind them being locked up!

The Island of Doctor M.O.D.O.K.
Ever since M.O.D.O.K. established his Hotel, he's been working tirelessly on his experimental Champions. But the Hotel is no place for his creations to live, so he's been sending them off to a secret secluded island to run free (under careful supervision of course). Now the time has come for M.O.D.O.K. to harvest the fruits of his labors, and it's up to the Summoner to drop in and collect some samples for M.O.D.O.K. to study. Don't worry though, the Summoner will be handsomely rewarded for their efforts with Gold Coins redeemable only at the Hotel M.O.D.O.K. Store!

NEW FEATURES:

Buff Deleter
M.O.D.O.K. has unleashed a new tool to aid you in your Labs Quests. The new Buff Deleter item can be used much like Rerolls, but can remove a Buff of your choice instead of replacing them. Get your hands on these rare items while you can and take control of your encounters! These Deleters won’t be sticking around after the Events of this month end, so make use of them while you can!
Alliance Treasury Update
We are updating how Alliance members donate resources to Alliance Quest Maps. Instead of donating to the Alliance Treasury, Summoners will now be able to purchase Alliance Tickets with resources or by visiting the Unit Store. They will spend these Tickets to gain entry to Maps Six and Seven instead of donating it to the Alliance Treasury. Because of how this new system works we will be removing the Alliance Treasury as a whole and these tickets will live in the Summoner’s Resource Tab.
