NEW CHAMPIONS MARVEL CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS CELEBRATES BLACK HISTORY MONTH WITH EPIC NEW ARRIVALS: M’Baku The charismatic and formidable leader of the Jabari Tribe, is one of Wakanda’s most powerful warriors and a frequent rival of T’Challa. He is a traditionalist, a worshipper of the White Gorilla, Ghekre, living with his tribe in the isolated mountains away from the rest of Wakanda due to ideological differences. He and his tribe reject the technological progress embraced by T’Challa’s leadership. Though often seen challenging T’Challa’s rule, ultimately his motivations stem from a deep belief in maintaining Wakanda’s ancient traditions. Blue Marvel Adam Brashear had always been a prodigy—a college football star with multiple Ph.D.s who earned two Silver Stars serving as a Marine in the Korean War. While leading Project: Perseus, an attempt to harness the power of antimatter, Adam and his fellow Marine Conner Sims were caught in a reactor explosion. Conner was vaporized, but the reaction stabilized within Adam’s body, granting him the amazing powers of the Blue Marvel. When his identity as a Black man was revealed in a titanic battle alongside the Avengers, Adam was asked by the President to retire, as the country was not ready for the most powerful man in America to be openly and unapologetically Black. For decades, he obliged, but after losing much of his family in another accident, he has since returned to stand against the ever present threats of the modern world. CHAMPION UPDATES Heimdall is getting a kit update!

Alliances that are competitive throughout the event will have the chance to play for a 7-Star Heimdall. This time around we are also introducing an Alliance gifting component to the event, where Bronco Tokens can be gifted to Alliance members to gain entry to the energized event entry, where points scored will be tripled. Bronco Tokens will be earned via Weekly Clash Event milestones, with additional tokens being purchasable from the store. Alliance Quest - Meta Weeks We are introducing a new format for Alliance Quests - Meta Weeks! Meta Weeks are a brand-new, optional event type that will be part of our four-week Alliance Quest (AQ) cycle.

After returning to civilian life, he devoted himself to finding a way to regenerate lost limbs by developing a serum based on reptilian DNA.

OKOYE An experienced warrior and member of the Dora Milaje, Okoye fights alongside and protects the King of Wakanda, the Black Panther. With unrivaled close-combat expertise, and a matching degree of wisdom, there are few who can survive an encounter against Okoye.

Though they have defeated four of the Deathless so far, Deathless Thanos still needs further proof of their brutality in battle and wisdom in war. So as the Deathless continue to spread destruction and mayhem, The Summoner will be tasked with constant tests of strength. Event Quest - Precious Metal Nezhno Abidemi, AKA GENTLE, has recruited The Summoner to assist with a stealth mission on behalf of Wakanda. It seems that the recently regrown land of Wakanda has been plagued with troubles as a result of a strangely spreading Vibranium corrosion.

To finally acquire Deathless Thanos you will need to complete this unforgiving challenge! Golden Circle Rework: For ages, or at least a good long while, the GOLDEN CIRCLE QUEST allowed players to fight against Goldpool to earn much needed Gold.

It seems that the recently regrown land of Wakanda has been plagued with troubles as a result of a strangely spreading Vibranium corrosion. Everyone from Shuri to OKOYE is trying to solve the mystery of why this core component of technology, armor, and weapons is crumbling to dust. But is this metal destruction a natural disaster, or manufactured mayhem? Side-Quest - Vaults of the Deathless Okoye is facing off against forces she has never seen before. So she’ll need someone familiar with the Deathless by her side! These dark doppelgangers have stolen powerful Wakandan artifacts to charge a dark ritual that must be stopped! To retrieve these artifacts (and earn rewards) you’ll need to track them by earning KIMOYO BEADS in the DEATH DRIVE EVENT which will allow you to maneuver through THE DEATHLESS RITUALS and earn Mysterium and DEATHLESS SIGILS. Then face down The Deathless directly when you use these Deathless Sigils to open up Paths in VAULT OF STRENGTH, VAULT OF VIOLENCE, VAULT OF CONVICTION AND VAULT OF RAGE SIDE QUESTS! Topple these paths to earn even more rewards! Deathless Mausoleum The Deathless have been testing our strongest warriors for some time. Some have even deemed these challengers to be mighty enough to join their dark forces. The leader of this frightful order DEATHLESS THANOS has a final test for those daring, courageous, or perhaps foolish enough to deem themselves worthy of his attention. To finally acquire Deathless Thanos you will need to complete this unforgiving challenge! Golden Circle Rework: For ages, or at least a good long while, the GOLDEN CIRCLE QUEST allowed players to fight against Goldpool to earn much needed Gold. However the Deadpool Pals have decided that all these rewards shouldn’t JUST be coming out of Goldpool’s deep pockets, so they’ve literally and thematically pooled their resources to form the GOLDPOOL DAILY QUEST to replace the Golden Circle. This Daily Quest will allow Summoners (even those without their Sigil activated) to find a new source of Gold! This Quest is tuned to all Title Progressions and available to all Summoners DAILY. OTHER NEW FEATURES Summoners Sigil: The Summoner’s Sigil will be relaunching as a monthly subscription service with revamped perks and improved rewards! Summoners Choice 2025: The Summoner's Choice returns! Cast your votes and have your say in who will become this year's Summoner's Choice Champion!

NEW CHAMPIONS ISOPHYNE: Isophyne, the living ISO-Sphere, was constructed by The Founders millennia ago to protect the Battlerealm and exterminate all who trespass upon its perfection. After a devastating explosion damaged their core, Isophyne entered a state of regeneration, absorbing ISO-8 across the Battlerealm for untold years to slowly reconstruct their body. Now awakened and furious with the clear abundance of inferior lifeforms in the Battlerealm, Isophyne will not hesitate to purge every last Champion to restore The Battlerealm to its former state of flawless superiority. 10TH ANNIVERSARY EVENTS AND FEATURE UPDATES Banquet Event & 10 Year Anniversary Join us in our 10 year anniversary celebration and the return of the Banquet Event!

NEW CHAMPIONS Spiral Spiral is a six-armed sorceress and swordswoman originating from Mojoworld. Once a talented stuntwoman named Rita Wayword, she was cybernetically transformed by the loathsome Mojo, whom she was forced to serve. Initially an adversary to Longshot and the X-Men, she eventually made amends, and has fought beside them on many occasions. Her magic is powered by dance-like progressions of Wushu forms, which she further enhances with her many arms and armaments. Dazzler Alison Blaire, better known by her stage name Dazzler, is a famous singer and powerful Mutant with the ability to convert sound into stunning displays of light. While she tries to focus on her music career, Alison constantly seems to get roped into saving the world. Whether she winds up fighting alongside the X-Men, thrown into deep space, or even pulled into alternate dimensions, Dazzler always maintains her rhythm. NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS Event Quest - Sparkle and Shine Ever since The World Tree started regrowing Manhattan, the city has been home to vicious villainy. Bullseye made it a hunting ground, Arcade made it a wicked amusement park, and now finally Mojo has claimed the city as the final arena for a winner-takes-all tournament! Will the surprising final round pick DAZZLER be a show stopper? Or will the masterful and menacing multitasking of SPIRAL cut Dazzler’s performance short? Find out in SPARKLE AND SHINE!

NEW CHAMPIONS Scream Daughter of Venom, sister to Carnage, Scream is one of five Symbiotes forcibly harvested from Venom by the Life Foundation. The symbiote that would become Scream was bonded to Donna Diego, one of the Life Foundation's most trusted Security Guards. Unfortunately, Scream and her siblings lost their altercations with Spider-Man and Venom, but they survived the Life Foundation’s collapse. Scream and Donna were left with only each other and a grudge against other symbiotes. Jack O' Lantern “Jack” was always a rotten pumpkin. At a young age, one lonesome Halloween night he unknowingly approached the house of Crime-Master, who kidnapped him and trained him as his protégé. Over time, Jack became a master assassin, developing a calling card where he placed candles inside the heads of his victims, to simulate the appearance of a jack-o-lantern. He took that name as his own, and erased those who had used it in the past. Deathless She-Hulk 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. She-Hulk was the fourth and last (for now) Champion so elevated. Seeing law and order for the weak lies they are, she now lives to spread pain and chaos throughout an unprepared Battlerealm. NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS Event Quest - House Of Horrors Jessica Jones has recruited The Summoner to help her crack a case. It seems that someone has a serious symbiote stalking problem and all clues lead to a creepy killer carnival. Scream is already on the scene making noise, but things really light up as Jack O’Lantern activates abominable animatronics! Is this a ride our heroes will survive? Or is this about to become a ghost story? Find out in HOUSE OF HORRORS! Side-Quest - Jack’s Bounty-full Hunt As the Maestro’s festivities continue, Jack O’Lantern finds himself as the host of the Gladiatorial Games. Seeing an opportunity to kill two birds (or any Champions in range) with one stone, he fills the arena with would-be assassination targets and has them fight amongst themselves! Arcade Games Showcase: A group of exceptional Alliance War Defenders, some of them carrying the House of Mirrors Tactic, have gathered in a new Quest and await your challenge! Experience the thrill of fighting powerful Defender placements from Master Tier Wars. The Arcade Games Showcase will arrive later this month. Are you ready for your path?
