Unique Events

Introduction

Currently, in the game, there are Events unrelated to the monthly/weekly mechanic. Probably, there were several reasons for that:

  • to provide additional content and force increased activity from players
  • to balance the economy and help min-maxing mechanics of existing monthly/weekly Events
  • to allow new players to catch up endgame faster
  • to make the daily routine more interesting for old players
  • to try to revive some features that slowly become boring by providing additional rewards

This page is for Unique Events where we will give simple explanations about the most important goals for all kinds of players and how to reach them fastest and easiest.

Amassed Horde (October 29th – November 12th)

This event is focused on collecting Undying Orb Fragments. By opening Undying Orbs with these fragments, you can earn shards for Kestrel (Zombie). In other words, this event allows players to recruit the newest member of the Undying team.

The Kestrel Zombie Event lasts for 14 days.

For every 1 Event Energy spent, you receive 8 Orb Fragments. Each day, all players can use 288 free Event Energy. Refreshing energy costs 50 Power Cores (PC) for the first 4 refreshes, then 100 PC for the next 4, then 200 PC for the following 4, and so on. Each refresh gives you 100 Event Energy.

The average number of Kestrel (Zombie) Character Shards we can expect to get from opening one Undying Orb is 4.1.

If you don’t spend any Power Cores on extra refreshes over the 14 days of the event, you can collect enough fragments to open 16 Undying Orbs. On average, this will give you 64 Kestrel (Zombie) character shards. That’s enough to recruit her, since she only requires 45 shards (which unlocks her at 2 Yellow Stars).

If you refresh Event Energy 4 times per day during the 14-day event, you can collect 38 Undying Orbs in total. On average, this will give you around 156 Kestrel (Zombie) character shards. This is enough to upgrade her to 3 Yellow Stars, but still not enough for the 4th Star.

If you refresh Event Energy 8 times per day for the entire 14-day event, you will collect 60 Undying Orbs, which will give you about 246 Kestrel (Zombie) shards on average. This is enough to upgrade her to 4 Yellow Stars, and you will also have 66 out of the 130 shards needed to reach the 5th Yellow Star.

In summary:

  • By only using free energy, you can unlock Kestrel Zombie during the event.
  • 4 daily refreshes = 38 Orbs ≈ 156 shards (enough for 3 Yellow Stars)
  • 8 daily refreshes = 60 Orbs ≈ 246 shards (enough for 4 Yellow Stars, with progress towards 5 Stars)

This breakdown should help you decide how many refreshes to use based on how many stars you want for Kestrel Zombie.

The Legend Continues (March 24th – March 31st)

Quick Summary:

  • Refresh Red Dead Rematch Energy (Scarlet Witch (Zombie) Event) 4 times per day.
  • Reach at least Cell 40 in Escape From Kyln – Freedom Spire.  
  • Use the full Starjammer team in 3 Crucible Battles (if you do not have Howard and Havok, use Rocket, Groot, and Lilandra in 5 Crucible Battles).
  • Collect all Free Claims.
  • You will reach at least Milestone 14; and maybe more Depending on the drop rate of Undying Orb Fragments from Red Dead Rematch Nodes and your progress in Kyln – Freedom Spire.
  • But try to go as hard as you can in this Event because of Leaderboard rewards (GT20 Skill Mini Uniques), so try to complete Kyln and spend as much as you can Scarlet Witch (Zombie) Event Energy.

Breakdown

A Legend Continues is a special Event distinct from the Monthly and Main Events, designed to provide players with the chance to win extra prizes and resources.

The Event will run for 7 days, during which players can earn Milestone points by collecting Undying Orb Fragments from the Scarlet Witch (Zombie) Event and progressing through Escape From Kyln – Freedom Spire. Milestone points can also be earned by using Starjammers in Cosmic Crucible.

In this Event, players have the chance to collect X-Coins, which can be spent in the X-Coin Event Store to purchase Gear Tier 20. All free-to-play players will be able to earn 100 Howard the Duck Character Shards through this Event, while those who participate more extensively can collect an additional 40 Shards for this character.

There are a total of 20 milestones to achieve, with a maximum of 350,000 points available.

Rewards will include:

  • 100 Howard the Duck Character Shards
  • 635,000 X-Coins
  • 2,500 XP
  • 1,575 million Gold
  • 210 L4 Training Modules
  • 179,000 T3 Level 1 Ions
  • 8,000 Basic T3 Iso-8 Orb Fragments
  • T1 Ions and Basic T2 Iso-8 Orb Fragments
  • 200 Dark Promotion Credits, 150 Gold Promotion Credits
  • Augmented and Crimson Gear
  • Bonus Rewards
    • 40 Howard the Duck Character Shards
    • 625,000 X-Coins
    • 10,5 million Gold
    • 1,250 L4 Training Modules
    • 1,4 million T3 Level 1 Ions
    • 90,000 Basic T3 Iso-8 Orb Fragments
    • 16,000 Mega Gold Orb Fragments
    • 30,000 Armory 19 Orb Fragments
    • 600 Dark Promotion Credits
    • 1,200 Dark Diamond Credits
    • Crimson Gear

Points will be earned by:

  • Earn Undying Orb Fragment – 2 points
  • Earn points from the Freedom Spire – 1 point
  • Use Starjammers on Offense or Defense in Crucible – 3,000 points (limit 45,000)
  • Battle in Crucible with 5 Star Howard the Duck – 5,000 points (limit 5,000)
  • Battle in Crucible with 6 Star Howard the Duck – 10,000 points (limit 10,000)
  • Battle in Crucible with 7 Star Howard the Duck – 15,000 points (limit 15,000)
  • Same for Havok

There is a Leaderboard for this Unique Event, with T20 Crimson Gear as the main prize, specifically Skill Mini Unique gear. All players who participate in this Event will receive a certain amount of this gear, with the quantity depending on their ranking. Additionally, players who place in the top 6,000 will receive Diamonds for Havok. Those who do not make the top 6,000 will receive Silver Diamond Credits.

leaderboard for the legend continues

Currently, we do not know how many Undying Orb Fragments will be awarded based on the Scarlet Witch (Zombie) Event Energy spent. However, since the rewards for this Event are substantial and the Leaderboard offers T20 gear, it’s advisable to refresh your Scarlet Witch (Zombie) Event Energy at least four times per day (200 PC per day).

For every Starjammer Character we use in Crucible battles, we get 3,000 points. In order to reach the limit and collect 45,000 Milestone points this way, we need to use the entire Starjammer team 3 times in the Crucible. If you don’t have Havok and Howard, then you need to use Rocket, Groot, and Lilandra 5 times each. Considering that the Ultimate 32 Crucible awaits us that week, where each player has 5 Crucible duels, the limit can be reached with or without Havok and Howard the Duck.

We will not count the extra points we can get if we have Howard and Havok at 5+ Yellow Stars.

During The Legend Continues Event, Escape From Kyln – Freedom Spire will also be active. Through the rewards from the Freedom Spire, we can collect Milestone points for The Legend Continues. If we make it to Cell 40 – which everyone should be able to do without any problems – we will collect 19,550 Milestone points. That, along with the other collected points, will be enough to bring us to Milestone 14.

Here you can visit our Kyln page and read everything important about it.

For those who want to try harder:

For those who are eager to enhance their performance—believe me, everyone should—it’s essential to push ourselves as much as possible in the Kyln Tower. Successfully completing the Kyln will earn us 85300 Milestone Points.

Next, you’ll need to have Howard and Havok on at least 5 Yellow Stars. This way, you can earn extra points: 5,000 points for each character at 5 Yellow Stars, 10,000 points for each at 6 Yellow Stars, and 15,000 points for each at 7 Yellow Stars.

Additionally, it’s important to refresh Scarlet Witch (Zombie) Event Energy more than 4 times a day. For 8 refreshes daily, we need to spend 600 Power Cores (PC), assuming there are enough Event Campaign nodes available. If not, you’ll need to spend an extra PC on refreshing the nodes.

All of this effort can help us reach Milestone 17, and potentially even higher if we have two Starjammer characters at 7 Yellow Stars. More importantly, our efforts will boost our Leaderboard ranking. This will allow us to collect a larger number of GT20 Skill Mini-Uniques, which is crucial since we will need two to three Skill Characters for the City Section in the Xavier Saga.

A Legend Is Born (March 17th – March 24th)

Quick Summary:

  • Refresh Campaign Energy 4 times per day (200 PC)
  • Clear 11 waves in Battleworld
  • Use Lilandra at least once in the Crucible
  • Collect all Free Claims
  • Depending on the drop rate of Legend Orb Fragments from Campaign Nodes, you can reach Milestone 15 or 16

Breakdown

A Legend Is Born is a special Event distinct from the Monthly and Main Events, designed to provide players with the chance to win extra prizes and resources.

The Event will run for 7 days, during which players can earn Legend Orb Fragments by completing Campaign nodes. Milestone points can also be earned by clearing waves in Battleworld and playing Cosmic Crucible with Lilandra.

In this Event, players have the chance to collect X-Coins, which can be spent in the X-Coin Event Store to purchase Gear Tier 20. All free-to-play players will be able to earn 100 Patriot Character Shards through this Event, while those who participate more extensively can collect an additional 50 Shards for this character.

There are a total of 20 milestones to achieve, with a maximum of 240,000 points available.

Rewards will include:

  • 100 Patriot Character Shards
  • 675,000 X-Coins
  • 2,000 XP
  • 280,000 T3 Level 1 Ions
  • 10,000 T3 Iso-8 Orb Fragments
  • T1 Ions and Basic T2 Iso-8 Orb Fragments
  • Augmented and Crimson Gear
  • Bonus Rewards
    • 50 Patriot Character Shards
    • 575,000 X-Coins
    • 1,3 million T3 Level 1 Ions
    • 72,000 T3 Iso-8 Orb Fragments
    • 10,000 XP
    • 6,000 Mega Gold Orb Fragments
    • 40,000 Crimson Gear Raid Orb Fragments
    • Crimson Gear

Points will be earned by:

  • Clear waves in Battleworld – 3,000 points (limit 33,000)
  • Use Lilandra in Cosmic Crucible – 5,000 points (limit 5,000)
  • Open 1 X-Coin Orb – 20,000 (limit 20,000)
  • Earn 1 Legend Orb Fragment – 1 point

Currently, we don’t have information on how many Legend Orb Fragments we receive for each Campaign Energy spent. However, since a Patriot can be recruited from this Event and we can earn a significant amount of X-Coins (which will be used to purchase GT20), we highly recommend refreshing your Campaign Energy four times a day.

If we clear 11 waves in Battleworld, we will gather enough Milestone points to reach the maximum limit of 33,000. This task should not be too challenging; the key is to remain active and not miss out on Battleworld.

During the Cosmic Crucible, it’s crucial to use Lilandra at least once to earn 5,000 Milestone points. By now, all active players should have recruited Lilandra, so we can reliably count on these points.

The X-Coin Orb will be available for purchase through offers and will provide 20,000 Milestone points. We won’t include these points in our calculations since they are not free-to-play. However, if you want to make extra progress in the Event and are willing to spend money, you can buy this Orb.

Overall, this strategy should be sufficient to reach Milestone 15 or 16, depending on the drop rate of Legend Orb Fragments in relation to the Campaign Energy spent. Note that any hoarding of Campaign Energy prior to this Event is not factored into this calculation. If you have accumulated Campaign Energy before the Event, you can go further and potentially reach an additional Milestone/s.

A Hero’s Journey (March 10th – March 17th)

A Hero’s Journey is a special Event distinct from the Monthly and Main Events, designed to provide players with the chance to win extra prizes and resources.

The Event will run for 7 days, during which players can earn Hero’s Jurney Orb Fragments by completing Iso-8 Campaign nodes. Milestone points can also be earned by using the Starjammer character in the Cosmic Crucible. There are a total of 20 milestones to achieve, with a maximum of 340,000 points available.

Rewards will include:

  • 5,000 XP
  • 9,25 million Gold
  • 250 L4 Training Modules
  • 260,000 T3 Level 1 Ions
  • 15,000 T3 Iso-8 Orb Fragments
  • 200 Dark Promotion Credits
  • 16,000 Crimson Gear Raid Orb Fragments
  • Augmented and Crimson Gear
  • Bonus Rewards
    • 820,000 T3 Level 1 Ions
    • 78,000 T3 Iso-8 Orb Fragments
    • 7,000 XP
    • 10 million Gold
    • 500 L4 Training Modules
    • 1,250 Dark Promotion Credits
    • 1,200 Dark Diamond Credits
    • 6,000 Diamond Orb Fragments
    • 30,000 Crimson Gear Raid Orb Fragments
    • Crimson Gear

Points will be earned by:

  • Battle in Cosmic Crucible – 3,000 points (limit 54,000)
  • Earn Hero’s Journey Orb Fragments from Iso-8 Campaign Nodes – 1 point
  • Use Starjammer in Crucible – 5,000 points (limit 25,000)
  • Battle in Crucible with 4 Yellow Star Howard the Duck – 12,000 points (limit 12,000)
  • Battle in Crucible with 5 Yellow Star Howard the Duck – 15,000 points (limit 15,000)
  • Battle in Crucible with 6 Yellow Star Howard the Duck – 20,000 points (limit 20,000)
  • Battle in Crucible with 4 Yellow Star Havok – 15,000 points (limit 15,000)
  • Battle in Crucible with 5 Yellow Star Havok – 18,000 points (limit 18,000)
  • Battle in Crucible with 6 Yellow Star Havok – 24,000 points (limit 24,000)
  • Battle in Crucible with Lilandra – 25,000 points (limit 25,000)

There is a Leaderboard for this Unique Event, with T20 Crimson Gear as the main prize, specifically Mystic Mini Unique gear. All players who participate in this event will receive a certain amount of this gear, with the quantity depending on their ranking. Additionally, players who place in the top 1,000 will receive T3 Iso-8 Credits and T3 Level 1 Ions. Those who do not make the top 1,000 will receive Armory 17 Orb Fragments.

Currently, we do not know how many Hero’s Journey Orb Fragments will be awarded based on the Iso-8 Energy spent. However, since the rewards for this Event are substantial and the Leaderboard offers T20 gear, it’s advisable to refresh your Iso-8 Energy at least four times per day (200 PC).

Completing 18 Cosmic Crucible Battles is sufficient to reach the limit of 54,000 Milestone points, so make sure not to skip the Crucible.

By using Starjammer characters in the Crucible, we can earn 25,000 Milestone points. Most players have already unlocked Lilandra, so if you only have three Starjammer characters, use them in at least two Crucible duels to reach the point limit. You will earn an additional 25,000 Milestone points after using Lilandra, which will be beneficial.

We will not count points from using four or more Yellow Star Howard the Duck and Havok, as many players, especially free-to-play (FTP) players, may not have access to them.

Depending on the amount of Hero’s Journey Orb Fragments we receive based on the Iso-8 Energy spent, we could reach Milestone 14 or 15. We will provide an update on this page once we know the exact drop rate.

For every Iso-8 Energy spent, you get 4 Hero’s Journey Orb Fragments.
So if we refresh Iso-8 Energy 4 times a day and collect all Cosmic Crucible-related points (not related to Havok and Howard the Duck-related points), we will reach Milestone 14.

For free-to-play players, the general advice is to spend as much Iso-8 Energy as possible, as there is no limit to the points you can earn. Please note that hoarding Iso-8 Energy is not included in this calculation.

Origin Story (March 3rd – March 10th)

The Origin Story is a special Event distinct from the Monthly and Main Events, designed to provide players with the chance to win extra prizes and resources. The main reward for this event is Diamonds for the Howard the Duck character.

The event will run for 7 days, during which players can earn Origin Coins by completing Campaign nodes. There are a total of 21 milestones to achieve, with a maximum of 450,000 points available.

Rewards will include:

  • 7,000 Howard the Duck Diamond Orb Fragments
  • 7 Red Stars for Howard the Duck
  • 4,000 XP
  • 2,875 million Gold
  • 705 L4 Training Modules
  • Augmented and Crimson Gear
  • Bonus Rewards
    • 3 Diamonds for Howard the Duck
    • 19,000 Howard the Duck Diamond Orb Fragments
    • 8,000 XP
    • 2,000 Mega Gold Orb Fragments
    • 13 million Gold
    • 1,100 L4 Training Modules
    • Crimson Gear

Points will be earned by:

  • Earn 1 Origin Coin – 1 point (limit 95,000)

Origin Coins are obtained from Campaign Nodes, so spending Campaign Energy will be the primary (and only free-to-play) way to progress through this Event.

We currently do not know how many Origin Coins we will receive based on the Campaign Energy spent, but the rewards appear to be substantial. Additionally, there is a chance to win Diamonds for Howard, so regardless of the drop rate, we recommend refreshing Campaign Energy four times a day, which costs 200 PC daily.

We are also uncertain about the Diamond drop rate for Howard the Duck from his Diamond Orbs. Is one Diamond guaranteed as a minimum reward, or is there a possibility of receiving Diamonds for other characters as well? If the latter is true, the value of these orbs would diminish significantly.

Milestone 17 should be the ceiling for all free-to-play players, while the other 4 milestones (18-21) would require spending money.

We will provide an update on this page as soon as more information becomes available.

Update

For each Campaign Energy spent, we receive 8 Origin Coins. If we refresh Campaign Energy 4 times daily (costing 200 Power Cores), we can collect a total of 62,048 Milestone points.

Additionally, through the Web Store’s Free Claim, we earn 500 Origin Coins per day, totaling 3,500 Origin Coins over 7 days.

To reach Milestone 16, we need to refresh Energy 5 times on one day during the event, while on the other 6 days, we should refresh Campaign Energy 4 times each day.

When drawing from the Howard Diamond Orb, there is a 70% chance of receiving 1 Diamond, a 25% chance for 2 Diamonds, and a 5% chance for 3 Diamonds for Howard the Duck. This is advantageous, as we are guaranteed to receive at least 1 Diamond for him.

Summer Pool Party

To celebrate the peak of summer and the release of the Deadpool & Wolverine movie, Marvel Strike Force will host a special 4-week event, where all players can earn a bevy of rewards in a fun manner that won’t keep you away from your summer activities for too long.

We will have 4 Events:

  • Pool Party: Dive In
  • Pool Party
  • Pool Party: Chill Out
  • Pool Party: Dry Off

The mainstay for each event will be a special Campaign Event – Pool Party. This campaign event will have 4 Chapters total, with the first chapter available once the event goes live, and new characters added each Monday until the event ends. There are 3 difficulties – Story, Normal, Bonus. Story will have no requirements.

Normal & Bonus difficulty requirements:

  • Chapter 1: No Restriction; Hero
  • Chapter 2: City
  • Chapter 3: Global
  • Chapter 4: Cosmic

Over the course of the events, players will earn tons of rewards, including Gold, Training Materials, Ability Materials, Gear (including Crimson Gear), costumes, and more:

Week 1: Wolverine’s “X-Men ’97” Costume
Week 2: Wolverine’s “Weapon X” Costume
Week 3: Mega Gold Orbs.
Week 4: Player Frame and Deadpool’s Super Secret Costume

Pool Party: Dive In

This is the first of the Pool Party special events, and players will need to spend Pool Party campaign energy and collect chimichangas from the Daily Objectives.

Rewards will include:

  • 2 Pool Party Orbs
  • 7 Red Stars for Wolverine
  • X-Men 97 Costume for Wolverine
  • 150 Dark Promotion, 200 Gold Promotion, 300 Silver Promotion Credits
  • 80 L4 and 80 L3 Training Modules
  • Crimson Gear (Mystic Origin & Catalysts)
  • 10 Crimson Mystic Mini-Uniques
  • 2 Crimson Focused Chi Uniques

To complete the Milestone, we will need to spend Pool Party energy and finish our Daily Objectives, we can also earn some bonus rewards for opening a Gear Orb using Gear Credits, just navigate to the Blitz Store, click on Orbs and open any of the Catalysts or Gear Orbs.

We don’t know yet how many points we get from the Daily Objectives but this page will be updated once the event goes live.

Sixth Anniversary Extravaganza

In March, we have a special Monthly Event regarding the 6th Anniversary of the Marvel Strike Force game. This Event is celebratory, where players can win amazing prizes with minimal effort.

First, we will have a Sixth Time to Strike special mission, where we will get rewards by completing the limited-time Event Campaign. It will last a month and will have 3 difficulties: Story, Normal, and Bonus. Each difficulty has 4 chapters, and each chapter has 4 missions. Chapter 1 is available on the 1st week, and a new Chapter will be released each week of the Anniversary.

Here are the trait requirements for each Difficulty:

Story

  • No requirements

Normal

  • Missions 1-2: No Restrictions
  • Missions: 3-4: Hero
  • Missions 5-8: City
  • Missions 9-12: Global
  • Missions 13-16: Cosmic

Bonus

  • Missions 1-2: No Restriction 
  • Missions 3-4: Kestrel, Nick Fury, and 3 Hero
  • Missions 5-8: Kestrel, Nick Fury, Deathpool, and 2 City Hero
  • Missions 9-12: Kestrel, Deathpool, Spider-Weaver, and 2 Global
  • Mission 13-16: Kestrel, Deathpool, Spider-Weaver, and Vahl

The missions are not problematic at all. The bonus difficulty is easy for any Mid-Game player as long as you have the required characters, while High-Level players will have no problems at all completing it.

Rewards are Character Shards, Gold, Training Modules, gear, and Diamond Promotion Credits.

The Anniversary Event is divided into 4 Weeks, where players can win an Anniversary Item (similar to month-long event items) through the Weekly Anniversary Event. We will earn 1 Diamond for Deathpool, her Anniversary Costume, and her 6th Anniversary profile frame when we collect all 4 Anniversary Items.

Week 1: 2192 Days of S.T.R.I.K.E.

In the first week, we will collect points by collecting Anniversary Coins from Daily Objectives and spending Event Campaign Energy. After completing all Daily Objectives, we will collect 1,000 Coins = 1,000 Milestone points. In the 6 days of the first Event, we can collect 6,000 Milestone points this way. To complete the Event, we need 6,200 points, so we need to spend 200 Event Energy in 6 days. It is effortless.

The main prize is Nick Fury’s Eyepatch (which serves us to progress through the Monthly Anniversary Event). We can also win 1.05 million Gold, 100 L4 Training Modules, 25 Photon Character Shards, 30 Ms. Marvel (Hard Light) Character Shards, Armory 16, 17, 18 Orb Fragments, and more.

As you can see, the first Weekly Event is very simple. Be active, complete Daily Objectives daily, spend 200 Event Campaign Energy in 6 days, and win all the prizes.

Week 2: Legacy of S.T.R.I.K.E.

In the second week, we will progress by using limited-time MSF Originals trait characters in the Blitz, Arena, Raids, War, and Cosmic Crucible. Those characters are Kestrel, Deathpool, Spider Weaver, and Vahl.

We are getting 20 points per usage, and the limit is 2,400. We need to use those characters 120 times, and the easiest way is to do 30 Blitz Battles during 7 days with those 4 characters. We will use them in other game modes (for sure), so we can count on those 2,400 points with certainty.

Another way of collecting points is by spending Sixth Time to Strike Event Energy. We are getting 5 points per 1 Energy spent, so to reach the last milestone, we should blow 720 Event Energy during 7 days. And with points from MSF Originals usage, we can complete all Milestones and collect all rewards. Easy.

When talking about rewards, we should say that we are getting 8,000 Anniversary Orb Fragments. Which will help us progress through the Demonic Origins Event. In addition, we get Shards for Vahl and Spider-Weaver, a costume for Kestrel, Gold, L4 Training modules, and gear …

Everything is achievable. It’s just important to be active.

Week 3: Well May You Tremble

In the third week, we will progress by using limited-time Archenemies trait characters in the Blitz, Arena, Raids, War, and Cosmic Crucible. Currently, we have 11 characters with Archenemy traits in the game:

  • Apocalypse
  • Super Skrull
  • Green Goblin (Classic)
  • Magneto
  • Loki
  • Ultron
  • Sabretooth
  • Thanos
  • Killmonger
  • Mordo
  • Red Skull

By using each of those characters in the mentioned game modes, we get 20 Milestone points (limit 2,400). The total number of points required to complete the Anniversary Milestone is 6,000.

Another way of collecting points is by spending Campaign Energy. We are getting 2 points per 1 Energy spent, so to reach the last Milestone, we should blow 3,000 Campaign Energy during 7 days. 

In that case, we won’t need to use Archenemy characters at all, in any of the game modes. On average, it is necessary to spend 430 Campaign Energy per day during the Event to reach the last Milestone. It is possible to achieve this without any Energy refresh, more precisely without spending additional Power Cores.

The prizes are:

  • 30 Lizard, 25 Kang Character Shards
  • 6 Red Stars for Spider-Slayer
  • Ultron What If Costume
  • 90,000 T2 Level 4 Ions, 180,000 T2 Level 5 Ions
  • 10 Augmented S.H.I.E.L.D. Tech, 10 Augmented H.A.M.M.E.R. Tech
  • 66 Crimson Basic Catalyst 
  • 22 Crimson Focus, 22 Crimson Health, 22 Crimson Damage, Catalyst
  • 66 Crimson Arcane Powder, 66 Crimson Esoteric Glyphs, 66 Crimson Vial

As we can see, we will also have Crimson Gear as a reward for this Anniversary Event. Which is pretty generous of the developers. Be active, and you will complete all Milestones in this Event without any problems.

Week 4: We Stand Together

In the third week, we will progress by using characters with the limited-time United trait in Blitz, Arena, Raids, War, and Cosmic Crucible. There are 12 characters with United trait in the game:

  • Captain America
  • Nightcrawler
  • Iron Man (Infinity War)
  • Thor (Infinity War)
  • Black Panther
  • Spider-Man
  • Captain Marvel
  • Doctor Strange
  • Wolverine
  • Storm
  • Quicksilver
  • Mister Fantastic

By using each of those characters in the mentioned game modes, we get 20 Milestone points (limit 2,400). The total number of points required to complete the Anniversary Milestone is 6,000.

Another way of collecting points is by spending Sixth Time to Strike Event Energy. We are getting 5 points per 1 Energy spent, so to reach the last Milestone, we should blow 1,200 Six Time to Strike Event Energy during 7 days. 

In that case, we won’t need United characters in any game mode. On average, it is necessary to spend 180 Six Time to Strike Event Energy daily during the Event to reach the last Milestone. It is possible to achieve this without any Energy refresh, more precisely without spending additional Power Cores.

The prizes are:

  • 25 Iron Man (Infinity War), 30 Sunspot Character Shards
  • 6 Red Stars for Forge
  • Phoenix Endsong Costume
  • 90,000 T2 Level 4 Ions, 180,000 T2 Level 5 Ions
  • 10 Augmented Infinite Energy, 10 Augmented Astral Energy
  • Augmented Mutant and Mystic Mini Uniques 
  • 9 Crimson Shoggoth Ichor 
  • 9 Crimson Celestial Lattice

As we can see, the trend of Crimson Gear as a reward for this Anniversary Event continues. Be active, and you will complete all Milestones in this Event without any problems.

When you collect the Hero’s Mask (the fourth Item in this Anniversary Event), you will complete the Sixth Anniversary Milestone and unlock 1 Diamond for Deathpool, her Anniversary Costume, and 6th Anniversary profile frame.

Rewards for this event will include plenty of Teal Gear Orbs and Armory Orbs, Red Stars and Diamonds for Sunspot, Mega Gold Orbs, Training Orbs, Apocalypse’s Gold Costume, and more.

Lets break down the points system:

  • Upgrade 1 Origin characters to 96 = 100 Points [Limit 1,000 Points]
  • Upgrade 1 Origin characters to 97 = 225 Points [Limit 2,250 Points]
  • Upgrade 1 Origin characters to 98 = 375 Points [Limit 3,750 Points]
  • Upgrade 1 Origin characters to 99 = 550 Points [Limit 5,550 Points]
  • Upgrade 1 Origin characters to 100 = 1,500 Points [Limit 15,000 Points]

Points can be earned by Leveling up a character of each Origin (Skill, Mystic, Mutant, Bio, Tech) to levels 96+ with a Point Limit on each of the levels for each of the Traits. To hit the Limit you will need to upgrade 10 characters of that Trait to the specific level. So if you upgrade 10 Bio characters to 96 you will get 1,000 Points, and if you then upgrade 10 Skill characters to 96 you will get another 1,000 Points.

Simply put, to complete this event you will have to upgrade 50 Characters(10 of each Origin) to level 100. Now this won’t be possible for free-to-play players but they can still get some decent rewards. We will offer the list of best characters for this below.

  • If you upgrade 50 characters to level 96 you will earn 5,000 Points, you will get the next rewards = [Milestone 5] 150 Teal Gear Raid Orbs, 1 Mega Gold Orb, 6 Red Stars for Sunspot, 6 Training Orbs, 36 Basic T2 Iso-8 Orbs, and some Teal Catalyst Gear
  • If you upgrade 50 characters to level 97 you will earn 16,250 Points, you will additionally get the next rewards = [Milestone 10] 155 Teal Gear Raid Orbs, 1 Mega Gold Orb, Captain Marvel “The Marvels” costume, 7 Red Stars for Sunspot, Armory Orbs, 57 Basic T2 Iso-8 Orbs, and Teal Catalyst Gear
  • If you upgrade 50 characters to level 98 you will earn 35,000 Points, you will additionally get the next rewards = [Milestone 15] 180 Teal Gear Raid Orbs, 1 Mega Gold Orb, 1 Diamond for Sunspot, 90 Basic T2 Iso-8 Orbs, 9 Training Orbs, Armory 16/17/18 Orbs, and some Teal Catalyst Gear
  • If you upgrade 50 characters to level 99 you will earn 62,500 Points, you will additionally get the next rewards = [Milestone 20] 170 Teal Gear raid Orbs, 2 Mega Gold Orbs, 8 Million T2 Level 4 Ions, 2 Diamonds for Sunspot, 3,75 Million T2 Level 5 Ions, 12 training Orbs, Armory 16/17/18 Orbs, And some Teal Catalyst Gear
  • If you upgrade 50 characters to level 100 you will earn 137,500 Points you will additionally get the next rewards = [Milestone 25] 225 Teal gear Raid Orbs, 8 Million T2 Level 4 Ions, 5 Million T2 Level 5 Ions, 3 Mega Gold Orbs, 16 Training Orbs, 3 Diamonds for Sunspot, Apocalypse’s Gold Costume, Armory 16/17/18 Orbs and some Teal Catalyst Gear.

We are expecting active players to be able to level up around 1 level every 2 weeks. This means that Free-to-play players can expect to get to level 97 or maybe 98 by the time this event ends, so they could potentially be able to hit Milestone 15 of the event.

Upgrading one Character from 95 to lvl 100 will cost 6.5 million Gold.

Recommended Characters to upgrade first

Bio Characters:

  1. Super Skrull
  2. Nova
  3. Red Hulk
  4. Void Knight
  5. Gwenom
  6. Carnage
  7. Venom
  8. Tigra
  9. Captain America / Photon
  10. Captain Carter / Lizard

Super Skrull is the best character in the game. Nova and Red Hulk are Legendaries that have their uses either as a plug-and-play or with their respective teams in Alliance War and Cosmic Crucible. Void Knight and other Hive-Mind characters are parts of a new Raid team and will be relevant for a long time. Photon can be great in Arena, as well as in War with A-Force. Lizard as a Protector will benefit from having more levels and his Superior Six team is still new so it will be relevant for a long time. Tigra is strong and will be powerful in War.

And if you need some alternatives, you can level up Iron-Man (Zombie), Juggernaut (Zombie), Cosmo, Korg, Titania, and any of the Gamma members(Hulk, She-Hulk, Brawn, Abomination)

Skill Characters:

  1. Kestrel
  2. Black Cat
  3. Kraven The Hunter
  4. Ronin
  5. Nick Fury
  6. Mockingbird
  7. Taskmaster
  8. Captain America (WW II)/ or Nakia
  9. Iron Fist (WW II)/ or Captain America (Sam)
  10. Bucky Barnes/or Okoye

Kestrel is a dual-Origin character and a must, Black Cat is a strong legendary character that is great in all game modes. Kraven is still a fresh character and with his team, he is great in both War and Crucible, Mockingbird and Ronin are very good in War. Taskmaster is also a good plug-and-play character but can also be very strong in War.

Leveling up Invaders might help you if you’re pushing Incursion II Raids hard, but the new Skill team is coming soon as well, so you could also ignore Invaders and instead level up War Dogs, like Nakia, Okoye or Secret Avengers (Captain America Sam, Maria Hill, Sharon Carter), or Shang-Chi, Star-Lord (Annihilation).

In terms of the best option here, it’s not an easy choice. Invaders might be out as soon as the next patch hits, or it might take a little bit longer, nothing official has been announced yet. War Dogs can still be decent in War, but they are dropping out fast from the top 10 War teams already. Secret Avengers are a 3 member team and might get a new teammate and some stat boosts sometime in the future, but that’s also not a guarantee. And we might be also getting new Skill characters next patch so it might be a good idea to avoid Invaders and level up just the first 7 characters for now and we will update this list if there are any new Skill characters coming out soon.

Tech Characters:

  1. Kestrel
  2. Doctor Doom
  3. Kang The Conqueror
  4. Green Goblin (Classic)
  5. Doctor Octopus
  6. Rescue
  7. Vulture
  8. Iron Man (Infinity War)
  9. Darkhawk / Mysterio
  10. Ironheart (MK II) / Spider-Slayer

Kestrel and Doom are important picks since they both have dual-Origins so will count for 2 characters (Kestrel – Skill and Tech, Doom – Tech and Mystic). Other P.E.G.A.S.U.S. characters will also be relevant for another 9 months to a year so investment into them won’t be wasted. Kang is a great Plug-and-Play character and his Masters Of Evil team will be relevant in Crucible for a long while and same goes to Sinister Six Tech characters who are still fresh and are great in both War and Crucible.

Alternatives: Shuri, Ultron, Agent Coulson

Mystic Characters:

  1. Doctor Doom
  2. Ghost Rider (Robbie)
  3. Vahl
  4. Quicksilver
  5. Dormammu
  6. Morgan Le Fay
  7. Ikaris
  8. Sersi
  9. Spider-Weaver
  10. Hela

Doom is a dual-Origin character so getting him is a strong recommendation, and he can also be used for the next Dark Dimensions later this year, Dormammu can also be used for DD. Ghost Rider (Robbie) is an amazing character not only in Arena but elsewhere too. Vahl is immensely valuable in Dark Dimensions and Raids. Morgan is still a strong character and since she’s needed for Apocalypse she’s a good pick to level up. Quicksilver is a great plug-and-play character, the same as the Eternals duo. Hela will be relevant in War for years, and Spider-Weaver is pretty good as a plug-and-play, but also her Tangled Web team is strong in Crucible.

Alternatives include all other Bifrost or Darkhold members (recommended to focus on Bifrost if you need alternatives) Cloak, Dagger, Gwenpool, and Deathpool can also be considered as viable alternatives since their New Warrior team is still good in Cosmic Crucible. Black Panther’s, Thor (Infinity War), Adam Warlock can also be considered.

Mutant Characters:

  1. Apocalypse
  2. Nightcrawler
  3. Gambit
  4. Ms. Marvel (Hard Light)
  5. Archangel
  6. Rogue
  7. Omega Red
  8. Sunspot
  9. Cyclops
  10. Forge

Apocalypse is the second-best character in the game, so no surprise here. Nightcrawler and all other X-Treme characters have at least a year of relevancy in them so they will provide a lot of value. Ms.Marvel (Hard Light) can be great in Arena and plenty of other game modes. Archangel, Rogue, and Omega Red are all Legendary characters that still have uses for them.

Alternatives can include Death Seed members (Nemesis, Dark Beast, Pyslocke), Firestar (member of the New Warrior team so will be great in Crucible), Dazzler, etc.

Some Origins have a lot more useful characters to use from, like Mystic. While others – not so much, like Skill. This will also depend on your roster and preferences, the lists above are merely the best recommendations we could provide when considering the value of the characters.

In total, if you follow the list above you will have to upgrade 48 characters to finish the event.

Loki All The Time Event (October 5th – October 12th)

An interesting Unique event will be added to the game soon on the occasion of the release of the Loki Season 2 Series. Players will be required to spend Campaign Energy to progress, and as far as I can see, the Event will be able to be completed after the first day (even though it lasts 7 days).

One spent Campaign Energy will be worth 1 Milestone Point, and to reach the last Milestone, we need to collect 1,000 points. Too easy.

Among the rewards, we will have Character Shards for Loki (50), Sylvie (20), and Kang (10). Other rewards are T1, T2, T3, T4 Ability Materials, Training and Gold Orbs, Elite 4 and 5 Credits, Armory 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 Orbs. Of course, we will also get a President Loki costume.

If you spend 150 or more energy per day, you will complete the Event. I (honestly) don’t know anyone (even the most relaxed players) who doesn’t spend 150 Campaign Energy a day. Event for everyone!

The prizes are nothing special, but realistically – the effort we need to put in to get them is close to 0. So, pick up what is offered to you and enjoy.

Meet The New Recruits (September 7th – October 3rd?)

This new Unique Event will start September 7th at 2:00 pm (PDT) and it will focus on helping us level up and rank up New Avengers. It will last a little more than 3 weeks, so presumably it’ll end around the same time the September Monthly event ends.

There will be 15 Milestones and a max of 20,000 points.

Rewards will include:

  • 7+ Million Gold
  • 400,000 Teal Gear Raid Orb Fragments (200 Orbs)
  • 200,000 Orange Elite Orb Fragments (100 Orbs)
  • 60,000 Armory 16&17 Orb Fragments each (30 orbs each)
  • 4,000 Apocalypse’s Bounty Orb Fragments
  • 10,000 Elite 5 Credits
  • 10,000 Elite 6 Credits
  • 5,000 Elite 7 Credits
  • 800 Dark Promotion Credits
  • 2 Million level 5 Ions
  • 4 Crafted gt17 Skill gear pieces & 100 Bio gt18 gear pieces

Points will be earned by unlocking, leveling, and ranking up New Avengers. And for using them in War at 4 Yellow Stars with bonuses for having them at 6 and 7 Yellow Stars.

Nearly all the scoring methods have limits applied to them, and because of that there is a clear separation between the Milestones you can get Free-2-Play, and the ones you’d have to spend on.

The main culprit is scoring with War Battles. You get points for doing a battle with Mockingbird, Ronin, and Tigra at 4, 6, and 7 Yellow Stars. And for The Thing and Agent Coulson but only at 7 Yellow Stars. Since as f2p, we can only expect to unlock the new characters and get them to 4 Yellow Stars, 5 at best (depending on the release method) that limits how many Points we will get from doing War Battles with them.

Milestone 10 is where you can expect to end up, we’ll get all the Orange Elite and Teal Gear Raid orb fragments, 2,75 million Gold, 350 Dark Promotion Credits, 400,000 Level 5 Ions, all Armory 16 Orbs, and ten Armory 17 Orbs.

Here’s what we need to do:

  • Unlock Ronin = 250 Points
  • Unlock Mockingbird = 250 Points
  • Unlock Tigra = 250 Points
  • Play one War Battle with Agent Coulson at 7 Yellow Stars = 600 Points
  • Play one War Battle with The Thing at 7 Yellow Stars = 600 Points
  • Play one War Battle with Ronin at 4 Yellow Stars = 1,200 Points
  • Play one War Battle with Mockingbird at 4 Yellow Stars = 1,200 Points
  • Play one War Battle with Tigra at 4 Yellow Stars = 2,400 Points
  • Level Up a New Avenger 237 levels = 948 Points
  • Rank Up a New Avenger 12 times = 1,200 Points

[Update]

We have confirmation that Tigra’s release event will arrive only after this event ends, she will be only available through offers and the 675 Power Core orbs. So the total of Points we can get f2p is not 8,898 points, but much less – 6,248 (if you can Rank Up The Thing and Agent Coulson 7 times)

This means, that f2p can only reach Milestone 8 and get 2+ million Gold, 160 Teal Gear Raid Orbs, all Orange Elite Orbs, 20 Armory 116 Orbs, 175 Dark Promotion Credits, 10,000 Elite 6 Credits. 10,000 Elite 5 Credits and 2 Apocalypse’s Bounty Orbs.

We can reach the Points Limit for leveling up New Avengers, for that we just need to level up Ronin, Tigra, and Mockingbird to level 79 each. Or level them up less and instead get a few more levels on The Thing or Agent Coulson.

But here’s the tricky part, if you already have The Thing and Agent Coulson at 7 Yellow Stars you won’t be able to reach the limit for Ranking Up characters. You get 100 Points per one Rank Up (rank up = unlocking the next yellow star). So you need to Rank Up characters a total of 12 times to reach the limit.

Mockingbird is a 2-Star Unlock and if we work hard, we might get enough shards to get her to 4 Yellow Stars, maybe even 5 (depending on the unlock method). Let’s err on the optimistic side and say that we’ll get her to 5 stars, which will give us 3 Rank Ups.

Ronin is a 3-Star unlock, so in the best-case scenario we will get only 2 Rank Ups from him.

Conclusion

Ronin and Mockingbird will undoubtedly be added to the Strike Pass or the Battle Pass soon after release, but those additional shards will help us get them only to 5 Yellow Stars. So if you want to finish the event you will have no option but to buy more character shards for them.

That said, for a bonus event it’s a decent one, with the only criticism being that half of the Milestone is free-to-play and the other half is pay-to-win. Usually, that balance is more in favor of f2p. But, since it’s only a bonus event we can’t expect it to be the same as Main Events.

Tough Crowds (June 12th – June 17th)

Tough Crowds is a Unique Event, unrelated to the Monthly one, where players can collect crucial recourses for further progress. We will collect Milestone Points by winning in the Cosmic Crucible with New Warriors and spending Iso-8 Campaign Energy.

The Event will last 5 days, with 25 Milestones and 100000 points.

Rewards from Milestones will be:

  • DD6 Countdown Orbs
  • Silver and Gold Promotion Credits
  • Elite 6 Credits
  • Gold
  • Various Catalysts

Points will be earned by:

  • Spend 1 Iso-8 Campaign Energy – 3 points
  • Win with New Warriors in Crucible – 125 points
  • Win with New Warriors in Crucible at 5+ Star – 250 points
  • Win with New Warriors in Crucible at 6+ Star – 500 points
  • Win with New Warriors in Crucible at 7+ Star – 1000 points
  • Earn 1 Tough Crowd Milestone Point – 1 point

Leaderboard will be with this Event, and prizes are standard. T2 Level 5 and 4 Ions, Silver Phase Bits, and Gear. The better you place at the end of the Event, the better prizes you will win. Reason not to miss this Event.

The more Stars you have for New Warrior characters – the better. This Event requires you to have them upgraded (at least compared to the opponents). So you can achieve CC victories with them.

As long as you have Deathpool, Cloak, and Dagger at 7 Stars and with them Firestar and Gwenpool at less than 5 (like the vast majority of FTP players) and achieve all three victories in three CC matches during the Event, you will earn 17625 Milestone points.

If refresh Iso-8 Campaign Energy 4 times a day during the Event, you will achieve 16200 Milestone points.

All of this will get you to Milestone 18. For more than that, you need to spend more Iso-8 Campaign Energy (which we don’t recommend), have the two newest New Warriors on more Yellow Stars, and/or buy some of the offers that will certainly be present when the Event starts.

Iso-8 Campaign Energy can be hoarded until the Event starts, which is not a bad idea as long as you don’t need any of the Level 1 Iso-8 Crystals (right now). We remind you that Hard Iso-8 Campaign starts at the same time as this Event, so Iso-8 Campaign Energy will be spent on those new Campaigns that will probably bring us Blue Crystals.

An interesting event that starts at the right time and will definitely help us to improve our resources.

Geared for Glory (May 26th – June 2nd)

Geared for GLory is a unique event through which players can improve their rosters and prepare even better for the upcoming challenges ahead of them. Among the rewards Bunch of good gear can be found. Between others Dark Dimension VI Countdown Orb Fragments. We will collect Milestone Points by fighting in the War and opening Training Orbs.

The Event will last 7 days, with 30 Milestones and 260000 points.

Rewards from Milestones will be:

  • DD6 Countdown Orbs
  • Armory 14, 15, 16, 17 Orb Fragments
  • Gear Credits
  • Various Catalysts

Points will be earned by:

  • Play 1 War Battle – 1000 points (limit 36000)
  • Open Training Orb – 2000 points

Leaderboard will be with this Event, and prizes are standard. T2 Level 5 and 4 Ions, Armory 15, 16, 17 Orbs. The better you place at the end of the Event, the better prizes you will win. An extra reason not to miss this Event.

Training Orb Fragments we have saved will help us a lot for this Event. So don’t open them until the Event starts – in other words, hoard the Training Orb Fragments.

The maximum number of points you can take from War Battles is 36K. Provided you play 12 Battles in each of 3 Wars during the Event. That will be enough for Milestone 18.

For all further rewards, points will be collected by opening Training Orbs. 112 Training Orbs will be necessary to open if we want to reach the last Milestone (with a limit of points from War Battles).

If you have Training Orbs saved, do not open them until the Geared for Glory Event starts. Also, don’t slack when it comes to War, and try to attack as much as you can. Don’t cancel the combat if things don’t go as planned because your energy will fail, and you won’t get Milestone points from the attack.

Those are the only useful tips you need to know before this Event. Good luck Commanders.
