Prepare for Challenges

Introduction

Challenge features are easy for veteran players, but fresh players will struggle before having all the Challenges farmed. Challenges do not offer many resources per attempt, but the combined amount over time makes the difference between fast and slow progression.

Knowing this you should assemble appropriate teams as soon as possible and try to unlock as many Challenges as possible.

There are 6 Normal Challenges and 6 ISO-8 Challenges.

Normal Challenges

There are 6 Normal Challenges:

• Orb Fragments (14 Tiers)
• Gold Rush (18 Tiers)  
• Training Day (18 Tiers)
• Ability Enhancements (14 Tiers)
• Medical Supply Run (14 Tiers)
• Catalyst of Change (14 Tiers)

Orb Fragments

Orb Fragment Challenge awards players Basic, Premium, and Red Star Orb Fragments. It is open on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday and requires Global Heroes (Tier 9 and higher).

In the beginning, you will be able to use any available Global Heroes that you can farm, but when you reach tier 10 you will need a premade team. Fortunately, you will be able to farm the Global Heroes that are needed for the optimal team by the time you reach higher tiers. In our opinion, the Orchis team is the best suited, because you already need it in raids, and it’s easily farmable. Look at our team breakdown page for more info.

Gold Rush

Gold Rush Challenge awards players a fixed Gold amount and Gold Orb Fragments. It is open on Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. Only City Characters are allowed in this challenge (Tier 9 and higher). A great city team that is also essential in raids, and is farmable in shops and campaigns, is Spider-society. Look at our team breakdown page for more info.

Training Day

Training Day Challenge awards players with Training Modules (L1-L4). It is open on Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday. Starting from Tier 9 players will need Cosmic heroes for this Challenge.

Early tiers won’t be a problem to do, but from tier 9 you will already need a good cosmic team. Infinity watch is something you can begin with, Starjammers are one of the best teams in the game at the moment, so they are a good option.

Ability Enhancements

Ability Enhancements Challenge awards players with Ability Material (T1-T4). It is open on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday. Only Controllers and Protectors can be used in this challenge. As you play the game and build teams that everybody needs, you will get strong Controllers and Protectors, and by the time you are high enough level, there won’t be any problem clearing the tiers.

Medical Supply Run

Medical Supply Run Challenge awards players with Blitz Charges, Raid Health Packs, Dark Health Packs, and Elite 4 Credits. For this Challenge, players can use only Brawlers and Supports. It’s the same as with the Ability Enhancements challenge. There is no exact team to use, find good synergies with characters you have and there should be no problem if you are farming teams that are needed in the game.

Catalyst of Change

Catalyst of Change Challenge awards players with all kinds of Catalysts (Improved-Superior). For this Challenge, a player will need only Blasters meaning that improving the sustenance of the team should be a priority since Blasters are extremely squishy.

Building Blasters team will look like an impossible task at the start but as the roster is being improved players will have more options. A Blaster team will initially depend on unlocked Blasters but later players will be able to build some usable synergies that are needed for clearing of Blaster Challenge.

A team you could use is:

• Gambit
• Cyclops
• Sunspot
• Iron man
• War machine

As they are not hard to farm.

ISO-8 Challenges

• Original Alchemy (5 Tiers) – 5 Mystic Heroes
• Original Biofuel (5 Tiers) – 5 Bio Heroes
• Original Mutagens (5 Tiers) – 5 Mutant Heroes
• Original Expertise (5 Tiers) – 5 Skill Heroes
