Arena & Alliance Quest:

Thursday will see three event types going live, giving you a few different flavours to choose from. On the menu:

1. A 7 day Alliance Quest Series will start. We previously ran a 4 day placement round, and we’re now moving to the ‘main event’ system for this new feature. Players – you will be receiving a message today (Wednesday) to let you know what bracket you’re in. As a reminder, each subsequent round of Alliance Quests will determine the bracketing for the next event. Place high in your bracket and you’ll move up, but place lower and you could drop down a bracket instead. The tiers are as follows:

Incalculable Tier – Ranks 1 to 25
Superhuman Tier – Ranks 26 to 100
Gifted Tier – Ranks 101 to 200
Peak Human Tier – Ranks 201 to 300
Normal Tier – Ranks 301 to 400
Training Tier – Ranks 401 and lower

The higher the tier the better the rewards, naturally!

2. A 3 day, 3-Star Yellowjacket Arena. This Arena will not require Pym Canisters.

3. A 7 day, 4-Star Yellowjacket 3v3 Alliance Arena. This Arena WILL require Pym Canisters. We'll be adding a Basic Hero as a Milestone reward for this Arena.


Monday will have two events going live.

1) A 3 day 3-Star Yellowjacket Arena. This Arena will not require Pym Canisters.

2) A 3 day 4-Star Iron Patriot Arena. This Arena will also not require Pym Canisters.


It’s worth noting that there are no new types of alliance events this week, these are all formats that you’ve seen before.
