Active weekly events

Important: The guide is written immediately after the release of the official MSF blog. If something changes when events start in-game, I’ll update the content. Scopely is known to often change things at the last moment, so have that in mind. My goal is to prepare you for what is coming next according to the information I have.

S.T.R.I.K.E. Celebration

Your Goal is to reach Milestone 24 at least by battling in Raids and spending Power Cores. For bonus points, Rebirth and Invader characters are required.

MILESTONE 24

ISO-8 Matrix Machine (30K Eagle Emblems); 40K Eagle Emblems; 40 Captain Carter Shards; 40 U.S. Agent Shards; 5 Agatha Harkness Shards; 1 Originals Orb

• Use 5 Rebirth characters once in Raids + Use Nick Fury once in raids
• Fight in 16 Raid battles per day in various Raids during the Event

MILESTONE 27

250K T2 Level 4 Ions; +30 U.S. Agent Shards

• Use 5 Rebirth characters once in Raids (GT16) + Use Nick Fury once in Raids (GT16), use Captain America (WW II) once in Raids
• Fight in 25 Raid battles per day in various Raids during the Event
• Spend 4400 PC during the Event (735 per day)

The cheapest way to reach this milestone is to buy:

• Daily S.T.R.I.K.E. Celebration Campaign Energy x1 -20$; If you do so, you will need to spend only 150 PC daily along with other minimum requirements mentioned above.

250k T2 Level 4 justifies the investment of 20$ (250% discount to normal price). However, this doesn’t change the fact that this Milestone could be reached for free before they set the Limit – it is really a bad decision for them from my perspective.

MILESTONE 30

500K T2 Level 5 Ions; +30 Captain Carter Shards; 55 Agent Venom Shards; Chrysalis Orb; collect everything

• Use 5 Rebirth characters once in Raids (GT17) + Use Nick Fury, Captain America (WW II), and Union Jack once in raids (GT17)
• Fight in 25 Raid battles per day in various Raids during the Event
• Spend 15550 PC during the Event (2595 per day)

The cheapest way to reach this milestone is to buy:

• S.T.R.I.K.E. Celebration Starter Bundle – 100$ (100% discount on the price of Power Cores)

500k T2 Level 5 Ions + 250k T2 Level 4 Ions + Captain Carter x30 + Agent Venom x55 + U.S. Agent x30 for 100$ is an acceptable bargain, nothing amazing but it still offers a 50% Discount compared to normal prices.

On March 25th 5th Main Event for this month will start. It’s called S.T.R.I.K.E. Celebration, and players will progress through it by using Rebirth and Invaders in Raids, winning or losing Raid battles, and spending Power Cores.

The Event will last 6 days, with 30 Milestones and 55555 points.

Rewards from Milestones will be:

• Eagle Emblems – 40000 in total (unlocked all on Milestone 24; 21.4K points need to achieve)
• ISO-8 Matrix Machine – worth 30000 Eagle Emblems (collected on Milestone 22; 18.2K milestone points need to obtain)
• Agatha Harkness, Captain Carter, U.S. Agent, and Agent Venom Shards
• Chrysalis Orb, Originals Orb 
• 250K T2 Level 4 Ions; 500K T2 Level 5 Ions
• Armory 16, 17 Orb Fragments
• And more good rewards

Points will be earned by:

Use Rebirth in Raids – 1100 points (limit 1000)

Use Rebirth in Raids at Gear Tier 14+ – 200 points (limit 1000)

Use Rebirth in Raids at Gear Tier 16+ – 300 points (limit 1500)

Use Rebirth in Raids at Gear Tier 17+ – 400 points (limit 2000)

Use Invaders in Raids – 1100 points (limit 3300)

Use Invaders in Raids at Gear Tier 14+ – 200 points (limit 600)

Use Invaders in Raids at Gear Tier 16+ – 300 points (limit 900)

Use Invaders in Raids at Gear Tier 17+ – 400 points (limit 1200)

Spend 1 Power Core – 1 point

Win or Lose Raid Battle – 160 points (limit 24000) – the limit is added after the start of the event. This is a really bad decision for multiple reasons. There is nothing worse than giving hope to the players that they can be rewarded with some resources, just to change it afterward and make it available only through spending. Scopely can do whatever they want and the change was made before the start, however, the community builds their opinions according to what they can see and what they are hoping to get. If you tell them that they will get 250k T2 Level 4 ions while those resources are crucial for unlocking the most important character, and then change that decision (due to the mistake you made yourself), you cannot expect anything good as a result, especially since those things happen over and over again. Scopely, please, start being serious and professional, or otherwise, I am not optimistic that you will get what you want – this is friendly advice.

Collecting all Eagle Emblems and Iso-8 matrix Machines will be relatively easy – it will demand activity in Raids. We will have 3 types of Raids during the Event because Gambit Raid will be in the game when the Event starts. We will need stronger Rebirth and Invaders characters for further progress through Milestone. We will also need to spend Power Cores.

Those T2 Level 4 Ions look very attractive, especially for players who still need to unlock Apocalypse. But they are on Milestone 27, and to reach that Milestone, players will have to spend a fair amount of Power Cores and have stronger Rebirth/Invader characters.

Charging Station March 26th

An event where players need to collect Power Cores.

Players who collect 3110 PC during five days (duration of the Event) will reach the Last Milestone (collect every reward). We have to hoard again. General advice for all players is to save Arena rewards each day when Charging Station Event is not active. We will have four of those kinds of Events during the month, and each will last five days, so most of the time, you will not need to hoard Power Cores. But when Charging Station is inactive, do not collect your Arena rewards.

If you are successful in that task and reach every Milestone, you can earn 29.45K Eagle Emblems and 196K T2 level 4 Ions.

Conclusion

Another uncomplicated Main Event, the last part of the March Monthly Event. Some players completed the Monthly one (already), even without S.T.R.I.K.E. Celebration. So this one is just a nice bonus, and rewards will strengthen our roosters a bit more. Count this one as something you can, but (in most cases) you do not even need to do. Still, rewards are there to be collected, so do not miss the opportunity to do it.

To the Moon

On March 20th 4th Main Event for this month will start. It’s called To the Moon, and players will progress through it by spending Iso-8 Campaign Energy, earning Blitz Credits, and using Masters of Evil in Cosmic Crucible.

This Event has Moonstone Shards as rewards, so free-to-play players will have a chance to recruit her. It will last 5 days, and there will be 30 Milestones with 180K points.

Rewards from Milestones will be:

• Eagle Emblems – 44000 in total (unlocked all on Milestone 17; 31.5K points need to achieve)
• Alliance Donation Box – worth 32500 Eagle Emblems (collected on Milestone 18; 33.8K milestone points need to obtain)
• 150 Moonstone Shards (unlocked all on Milestone 27; 78.8K points need to achieve)
• 290 T4 Ability Materials
• 5000 Elite 6 Credits
• Armory 14, 15, 16, 17 Orb Fragments
• And more good rewards

Points will be earned by:

• Spend 1 Iso-8 Campaign Energy – 4 points
• Earn 1 Blitz Credit – 1 point
• Use Masters of Evil in Cosmic Crucible – 1000 points (limit – 15000)
• Use Masters of Evil in Cosmic Crucible (GT16) – 2000 points (limit – 30000)

We need to save Iso-8 Refills and refill our Iso-8 Campaign Energy at least 4 times per day during the Event. We can even do it more for further progress in the Event Milestone.

Blitzing will be on our radars again, and the general advice is to Blitz as much as you can. More you Blitz – the better because there is no limit on Blitz points progression. Do not collect rewards from the current Blitz and 2 Monday Blitzs. Those additional points will be a nice bonus.

If you have MoE upgraded to T16 or at least some of them, you can count on a nice amount of additional points. Save them for attack (do not put MoE in defense), and collect extra points. Even if you do not have them maxed, you can still use them – you will get fewer points, but something is better than nothing.

There will be a Leaderboard for this Event, from which players can earn some enjoyable rewards: Red Stars for Moonstone, additional Moonstone Shards, T2 Level 5 and T2 Level 4 Ions, and Elite 4 Credits.

100 Moonstone Shards, Alliance Donation Box (Item), and Eagle Emblems will be reachable with some effort. By some effort, I mean 4 refreshes of Iso-8 Energy per day, 4 Blitz Rotations per day, and using MoE 3 times during 3 CC Duels (they do not need to be T16). It is nothing too much, and all players should be able to recruit Moonstone and collect all Monthly related rewards from Milestone. For further progress, we will need to do more (more of everything I mentioned before).

Charging Station

An event where players need to collect Power Cores.

Players who collect 3110 PC during five days (duration of the Event) will reach the Last Milestone (collect every reward). We have to hoard again. General advice for all players is to save Arena rewards each day when Charging Station Event is not active. We will have four of those kinds of Events during the month, and each will last five days, so most of the time, you will not need to hoard Power Cores. But when Charging Station is inactive, do not collect your Arena rewards.

If you are successful in that task and reach every Milestone, you can earn 29.45K Eagle Emblems and 196K T2 level 4 Ions.

Tiny Tiny Showdown Quick Rumble (S.H.I.E.L.D.)

During next week we will have a new Quick Rumble Blitz. It will start on March 10th and grant the usual rewards.

• Eagle Emblems – 18.4K in total (unlocked all on the last Milestone)
• Legacy I, II, II Orb Fragments
• Mega Orb Fragments
• Basic Orb Fragments
• Blitz Credits

If you use S.H.I.E.L.D., your task will be much easier. You are already familiar with Quick Rumble, so I will not take your time explaining something you already know.

Conclusion

Another relatively easy event. We will further progress toward Monthly Milestone (after we finish this Event), and most of us (if not all of us) will have Moonstone in our roosters. For more Moonstone Shards, and other rewards, we have to put in more effort, time, and money (maybe).

Be prepared, hoard everything you need, and you will have no problems collecting every crucial reward from this Event.

Historic Encounter

On March 10th 3rd Main Event for this month will start. It’s called Historic Encounter, and players will progress through it by spending Kree Comando Energy (Minerva Event) and earning Historic Orb Fragments from selected Campaign nodes.

Rewards will include Shards for the Horsemen team’s characters. There will be 30 Milestones with 217K points. 

Rewards from Milestones will be:

• Eagle Emblems – 51800 in total (unlocked all on Milestone 21; 62K points need to achieve)
• War Helicarrier – worth 42500 Eagle Emblems (collected on Milestone 20; 58.9K milestone points need to obtain)
• Deathpool, Gambit, Dazzler, Strange (Heartless), Wong, Agatha Harkness, Abomination, Brawn, Psylocke, Dark Beast, Nemesis Shards
• 180 T4 Ability Materials
• 10000 Elite 4 Credits
• 905K T2 Level 5 Ions
• Gold Orbs
• And more good rewards

Points will be earned by:

• Spend 1 Kree Comando Energy – 10 points (44000 – limit)
• Earn 1 Historic Orb Fragment – 1 point

There will be a Leaderboard for this Event, from which players can earn some enjoyable rewards: Dr. Octopus Costume, T2 Level 5 and T2 Level 4 Ions, and Eagle Emblems.

If you refresh Kree Comando Energy 4 times per day, you will earn 5440 Milestone points daily (38080 for 7 days – duration of the Event). You can also count on starting 120 Kree Comando Energy (Energy available when the Kree Comando starts). That is 39280 Milestone points from Kree Comando Event (7 days; 4 refreshes per day).

You can get 3.75 Historic Orb Fragments per 1 Campaign Energy spent on selected nodes. With 4 refreshes of Kree Comando Energys per day, you will need to refresh your Campaign Energy 2 times daily to reach Milestone 21 and get all monthly related rewards.

If Minerva Event doesn’t start on 1st day of the Historic Encounter Event, we will need to spend more Campaign Energy.

Meet Me In Valhalla Quick Rumble (Hero Asgardian)

During next week we will have a new Quick Rumble Blitz. It will start on March 10th and grant the usual rewards.

• Eagle Emblems – 21.5K in total (unlocked all on the last Milestone)
• Armory 15 and 16 Orb Fragments
• Orange Gear Raid Orb Fragments and Teal Gear Raid Orb Fragments
• Blitz Credits

If you use Hero Asgardian, your task will be much easier. You are already familiar with Quick Rumble, so I will not take your time explaining something you already know.

Conclusion

Historic Encounter will last seven days, and all monthly related rewards will be achievable with some effort. Players will spend Power Cores to refresh Kree Commando Event Campaign and Campaign Energy. That way, players can grab War Helicarrier and all Eagle Emblems. At the same time, Commander’s Cache Event will be active, and spending Power Cores is one of the ways of progressing through it. So there is a situation where players can spend PC and progress on both Events simultaneously.

Cold Storage

The second of five Main Monthly Events will hit the game on March 6th and last for four days. It is a cooperative Event where players from the same Alliance have to collect Cosmic Crucible Credits, spend Power Cores, and use Moonstone in Crucible battles (for free-to-play, this will be an impossible task) to progress through it.

There will be 30 Milestones with 1.5M points. Our main goal is to collect Item and all Eagle Emblems. Everything beyond that is a bonus.

Rewards from Milestones will be:

• Eagle Emblems – 52400 in total (unlocked all on Milestone 23; 543K points need to achieve)
• Challenge X-Ray – worth 27500 Eagle Emblems (collected on Milestone 24; 619K milestone points need to obtain)
• Spider-Man (Noir), Spider-Man 2099, Spider Weaver Shards (25 for each)
• Absorbing Man, Titania, Kang the Conqueror Shards (20 for each)
• 5000 Elite 5 Credits
• 400K T2 Level 4 Ions
• And more good rewards

Points will be earned by:

• Earn 1 Cosmic Crucible Credit – 1 point (limit – 1221600)
• Use Moonstone in Crucible – 250 points (limit – 750)
• Use Moonstone in Crucible at 5 Star+ – 500 points (limit – 1500)
• Use Moonstone in Crucible at 6 Star+ – 1000 points (limit – 3000)
• Use Moonstone in Crucible at 7 Star+ – 3000 points (limit – 9000)
• Spend 1 Power Core – 4 points

There will be a Leaderboard for this Event, from which players can earn some enjoyable rewards: Ellite 7, 6, 5, 4 Credits, Gold and Silver Promotion Credits, Eagle Emblems, and Teal Elite Orbs …

Hoarding is in the story again (what a surprise!?), so rewards from the last CC (if you save them) will help players reach crucial Milestones easier.

Most of the points will be provided through battling in CC, so every Alliance member has to contribute towards a common goal.

If you have a fully active Alliance, even if all of your members are in some middle to low-range CC Leagues, activity and winning around 3/4 of battles through three Crucible fights from every member on average will put your Alliance on Milestone 24 (Item and all Eagle Emblems).

From what we can see, Monthly related rewards will be obtainable with some effort. The most important thing is the activity of all Alliance members. 

If every player can win 5 out of 6 battles in 3 CC fights, your Alliance will have no problems reaching milestone 24. If most Alliance members hoarded rewards from the last CC, some additional milestones are reachable.

Using Moonstone in CC will provide some additional points, but I do not expect most players to have her. Those who buy her Offers or unlock her through PC will have a chance to get more points for their Alliances on this Event. But the number of points is minor compared to those from CC Credits.

Spending Power Cores is another way of gathering Milestone points in Cold Storage Event. If you plan to do that or want to spend an immense amount of PC (for example, to recruit Moonstone by opening her Orbs), at least wait until March 8th for Commander’s Cache Event to start. Because you will kill two birds with one shoot. Commander’s Cache Event progress is related to spending Power cores – same as Cold Storage.

Charging Station

In March, we will not have Coordinated Assaults (maybe we will not have them anymore in the game, but let’s wait at least one more month to see what happens). Instead of Coordinates, we will have Charging Stations.

It is a (solo) Event related to the Monthly one, where players earn Power Cores to progress.

Each Charging Station will last five days, and rewards will be the same as on Coordinated Assault. So we will have a nice amount of T2 Level 4 Ions as rewards from each Charging Station Milestone.

Players who collect 3110 PC during five days (duration of the Event) will reach the Last Milestone (collect every reward). We have to hoard again. General advice for all players is to save Arena rewards each day when Charging Station Event is not active. We will have four of those kinds of Events during the month, and each will last five days, so most of the time, you will not need to hoard Power Cores. But when Charging Station is inactive, do not collect your Arena rewards.

If you are successful in that task and reach every Milestone, you can earn 29.45K Eagle Emblems and 196K T2 level 4 Ions.

Conclusion

Cold Storage is a team-related Event where the progress of every player calculate towards Alliance progress, so having a full and active Alliance will help you a lot in progressing through it. But all in all, reaching the monthly related rewards shouldn’t be a problem for the majority.

On the other hand, the Charging Station will depend on individual capability of earning a certain amount of Power Cores during a specific period. It will be interesting to see how many players can reach the last Milestone. In my opinion, it is worst than Coordinated Assault just because a high number of PC needed for the final Milestone. We will see very soon how Charging Station will affect the game and will most of us be able to complete it.

Return to the Shadows

The first out of five Main Events (for this month) will start on March 2nd at 1:00 PM (PST). Progressing through it will bring us closer to our goal – finishing the Monthly Event. We will do that by opening Gold Orbs, spending Campaign Energy, and “Move in Shadows” Event Energy. Yes, you read it well – Scopely bringing back Psylocke Event.

Return to the Shadows will last five days, and our main goal will be to collect Milestone PDA (Item) and all Eagle Emblems.

Rewards from Milestones will be:

• Eagle Emblems – 44000 in total (unlocked all on Milestone 24; 30.1K points need to achieve)
• Milestone PDA – worth 25000 Eagle Emblems (collected on Milestone 21; 23.5K milestone points need to obtain)
• T2 ISO-8 Credits
• 5000 Elite 4 Credits, 5000 Elite 5 Credits
• Armory 16, 17 Orbs
• And more good rewards

Points will be earned by:

• Open 1 Gold Orb – 500 points
• Spend 1 Campaign Energy – 2 points
• Spend 1 “Move in Shadows” Energy – 4 points (limit 17K)

We have to hoard Gold Orb Fragments to make this Event easier. So, the general advice is to not open them until “Return to the Shadows” start. Those Gold Orbs (if we have enough) will bring us a large number of points and can save us a lot of PC, which we will need to spend otherwise on the Psylocke Event Campaign. From now on – do not open Gold Orbs until this Event starts!

Some points will come from the Campaign energy – two points per Energy spent. As usual, we will go for four Campaign Energy refreshes (per day), which will bring us to 1.1K Energy consumed daily = 2.2K Milestone points daily (11K total). 

If you do not have enough Gold Orb to reach Milestone 24, increase the number of Campaign Energy refreshes. But from Psylocke Event: “Move in Shadows,” you will get more points. I knew it was an old Event, and most of us have her on Max Yellow Stars, but Psylocke Event Energy will give us more Milestone points than regular Campaign Energy.

From the Move in Shadows Event, we can count around 10.5K Milestone points for Main Event (for all five days) if we do not refresh Energy. 

In general, if you do four Campaign Energy refreshes per day and do not want to spend PC on “Move in Shadows” Energy refreshes (just spending Energy you have without refreshes), you will need to open 18 Gold Orbs to reach Milestone 24 and collect everything crucial from this Event.

There will be a Leaderboard for this Event, from which players can earn some enjoyable rewards: 7 or 6 RS for Dormammu, Dark Promotion Credits, Eagle Emblems, and last but not least, T2 Level 5 or 4 Ions.

A-List Party Quick Rumble (A-Force) (March 3rd at 1:00 PM PST – March 5th at 1:00 PM PST) 

During next week we will have a new Quick Rumble Blitz. It will start on February 3rd and grant the usual rewards.

• Eagle Emblems – 30.6K in total (unlocked all on the last Milestone)
• T1 Ion Orb Fragments, T2 Level 1 Ion Orb Fragments
• Basic T1 ISO-8 Orb Fragments, Basic T2 ISO-8 Orb Fragments
• Blitz Credits

If you use A-Force, your task will be much easier. You are already familiar with Quick Rumble, so I will not take your time explaining something you already know.

Conclusion

Return to the Shadows Event is a nice little back to the past, and it’s acceptable for the new players who do not have Psylocke maxed. For most of us, this will be one step forward into the new Monthly Event and be sure not to slip and fall. Get the Item, collect all Eagle Emblems, and progress towards Monthly Milestone
